She’d be going some to get three runs in for a mark and then the Grand Annual. I’d say there’s no chance she goes there, and the Mares Chase is the only practical option over fences. If she doesn’t win her novice first they’ll may even keep her novice status intact for next year and go back over hurdles.
I agree. Maybe she will just take her chance in the Mares Hurdle this season.
I maintain, Salsaretta has been the worst favourite for an ante post race that I've seen.
Laughable that this is even a race, what a bad, bad race.
Get Benie over fences Willie
Ironically if BDD does turn out for this and wins, then the organisers will eulogise about what a fitting winner she is for the inaugural running of this prestigious new race.
Willie will have little influence on where BDD goes, the owners want wins, if she goes here she's so much more likely to do that, than take on Honey again and possibly lose, again..

Haha, yes you're absolutely right.
To be fair I'll do well out of it if she does so I won't be flapping my gums so much but still

I don't think I could disagree more that "Willie will have little influence on where BDD goes".......
That is an absolutely bananas comment.
All your points for that being true would be true about Willie?
Why wouldn't Willie want her in this?
If anything, the owner has literally mentioned concerns about Mares going chasing.
I'd suggest it's more Willie wanting to win this than Mrs Ricci!
Imagine if BDD goes into this race getting weight from her principal rivals! That will be obscene and assuming PTKO keeps down the QMCC route, she could be an absolute penalty kick.
Ditto re Dame De Compagnie who holds early closer entries at Cheltenham for the CH, Mares Hdle, Stayers Hdle and Mares Chase but no hint yet of a jumps debut.
At least BDD has Chase experience but maybe WM is happy with Colreevy, she won OK LTO and looked as though she would improve for the run.
What else is there for this ? Might Robin De Carlow sneak back into the picture depending on how recovering from injury ?
The early closer entries on the Racing Post are just them guessing as far as i know

No, Benie is 10 now, this isnt an up and coming youngster, the owners probably couldn't care less about a revenge mission against honeysuckle. If they want wins, and benie is fine. I see no reason why they wouldn't say to him they want this race?
Maybe I phrased it wrong, he does have influence, but, not as much as he used to with her..

Just playing devil's advocate, but as a 10 year old Mare that they probably love.... could indicate they'd be a lot less inclined to send her over a fence than a hurdle.
They would want to win any race, you're creating a narrative that might not be there but defending it and backing it as if it's true.
I'm sure you know, I want her in this race, but if she does it's not because Willie doesn't want to and the owners are adamanet she does! Going back to your original comment, it is bananas to suggest Willie will have little influence. He'll have a huge influence.
In the Rich Ricci interview for OJA, he says that 'Willie is likely to have one eye on the new mares chase, otherwise she's be campaigned over the good hurdle races over 2.5 miles plus.'
Sounds like it will completely be the trainers decision.
