Shes won a poor Champion Hurdle. Massive over reaction to her beating a front running Sceau Royal. It's no surprise to me what happened today to be honest. Shes a good horse but certainly not a superstar.

Wide open division for me.
It was a poor champion hurdle
but she won it convincingly
and silver streak was 12 lengths behind her in that poor champion hurdle
Henderson knows what it takes to have her ready for the big day

He does, and there's only arguably one better trainer of a champion hurdler
I haven't backed her but plenty were ready to hand Hendo the trophy after Newcastle.
When I say plenty, Im judging that by my racing mates, who pretty much all told me she was unbeatable.
Really hope Willie gives concertista a chance to take on the geldings in the 2 mile grade 1 when the declarations come out tomorrow, will surely be that bit more tempting now this race has been turned on it’s head a little bit.

I might be mistaken, but hasn't she already been taken out of that race? I was really disappointed because I really fancied her to challenge Epatante, and that was before today.

So she has. Never realised she wasn’t entered at the 5 day stage. I’m having a nightmare today, few too many whiskeys last night I’d be thinking
I watched it real time and I was really shocked - does anyone have the sectionals? Did Silver Streak perform exceptionally well or was Epatante well below average?

A bit of both I'd say. Epatante never travelled in the latter part of the race like she normally does and I wouldn't be surprised if she scopes badly. That said, SS tactics won the race and he jumped great was strong all the way to the line. The result certainly opens the Churdle up.

She looked below average today to me and it was clear from the post race interview that Aidan Coleman was disaapointed she didn't kick on or in his words perform like the rubber ball she has in the past. So for me does this mean she just had an off day or worse than than that has she lost the bounce for good. Very pleased for Silver Streak today and connections because he looked as though he was enjoying every second of it.
Maybe Saint Roi and Abacadabras can rejoin the CH party now because it looks in need of more fizz after that lacklustre display from Epatante. It will be intereting to see what Nicky says over the next few days, especially since both Epatante and Santini looked below par.

Cheers Lobos - I haven’t really backed her and only got her in a couple of doubles. I was quite excited when the initial shock went. Enter centre stage SAINT ROI. A convincing win this week will see a shake up in the market

I'll run the sectionals tomorrow individually and vs the novice hurdle...
