Mares Hurdle 2021

[jonthehammer]

Honeysuckle would have beaten that lot head in chest.

I doubt that, she only ever does enough. It will be a very good race. Definitely no gimme for Honey.

[Lobos]

You are abandoning Honeysuckle? Wow, news breaker right there

She was superb value at 6/1 after her debut romp and she's now the same price as Honeysuckle.

You know I haven't abandoned my Honey......she's going elsewhere as we all know

2019 Hattons Grace ?

Beating 160 rated horses.

I thought she was good. Her hurdling isn't great but the engine makes up for it. She'll certainly give Honeysuckle something to think about.

[Run4Home]

Surely BDD going chasing becomes more likely again now...

Fine, go collect your winnings now and call the race off!!

Theres levels ..... shes beat nothing yet.

Hell of alot to prove until she can be considered on the same level as honeysuckle.

I doubt they'll save her for Aintree mate.

Both the same price now.

Just silly IMO

Would agree with this. She's got bundles of class and talent clearly. As the likely number 1 for Mullins in a Mares race, she deserves the upmost respect.
I think she's clear from the rest of the pack. But for what her and Honeysuckle have achieved, the prices don't quite sit right for me.
Which has put me off getting her onside unfortunately.

Granted Concertista hasn't as of yet been tested at the top level, perhaps she may take it in her stride but so far this season she's beaten Minella Melody twice.
Compare that to what Honeysuckle has so far achieved.

Take out Honeysuckle and she's the winner, but there's still far more between the pair than the market suggests imo.

Yep I'd be in this camp too.

Concertista is very good, but I think Honeysuckle and Benie Des Dieux would have put away that field easily today too.... so at the same prices I'd rather be on the ones that hav achieved more.

I'm happy to have her onside, but calling her the winner and dismissing Honeysuckle is a stretch, and I think Honeysuckle is now a much better bet at the current prices, if I was starting on the race right now.

Has it not occurred to anyone (bar me of course) that Honeysuckle is the price she is as there is still a massive doubt that she's even going to turn up here ????

[Kautothegreat8]

I would love to here Henry and Rachel's thoughts after running against her twice now with Minella Melody.

I'd imagine Honeysuckle canters all over MM at home.

No, I doubt that has occurred to anyone else

Theres a chance but there also could be a chance with Concertista too ?
