  • Would need to be some run to consider it
    Always difficult for 5 year olds coming out of juvenile hurdles to grade 1
    Mares this year and if she is impressive in that then maybe Champion Hurdle next year

    Comment


    • Could be the easier race for her though. She could pop round for 3rd/4th. Willie said he's going to mind her this year so maybe they don't want to run her over 2 1/2 against hardened Mares ?

      • Hardened 145 mares

        Or 180 constitution hill and 170 state man

        Willie said mares was the target and its by some considerable distance the easier race

        cant see her going anywhere near a champion hurdle

        • She doesn't have to chase those two though. Could just play for 3rd if they wish. They see her as a future Champion Hurdler so maybe there will be doubts about her getting 2 1/2 ?

            Not sure she’s a future Champion Hurdler with CH around!!
            Want to win races with her I would think. Leave her to the mares imo.
            Although I guess if she proves at some point to be up to it then she could challenge for the top hurdle races in Ireland.

              A little early to be suggesting lossiemouth would be wanting to avoid con hill in future champ hurdles.

              Willie mullins was very clear pre season she'd get an easy campaign , having been a highly raced juvenile

              Honeysuckle took in the mares hurdle then went and won 2 champions. (not sure why i mentioned this)

              Con hill will be 8 for the 2025 champ hurdle, lossiemouth a 6 year old mare.

              I'd think willie is already thinking the mare could be the chance to take his crown in 2025(2026 even more so) why overface her this notoriously fragile season.

                Don’t think Honeysuckle would have won 2 CHurdles with CH around!!
                If Lossiemouth gets within a stone of CH I would be surprised.

                  Life is full of surprises
                  i'm not talking this season, but there's a degree of possibility here i don't think you're considering

                    I will consider if I ever need to

                    • Lossiemouth might beat the hill in future champion hurdles if they change the mares allowance to 27lb

                        • Lossie is very short for the MH. Will she beat Gala Marceau who has proved herself over the distance??

                          • Hauturiere given another severe hair cut by Paddy Power/Betfair for Mares Chase. They know who PT is going to ride.

                            • Bit of a weird one, so if there is a better place for this - please will one of the admins let me know!

                              Does anyone have any advice on how to get detail of settled, historical bets on Betfair sportsbook with the names of horses backed? It seems to have changed recently for me and can now only get a download / statement of bets, but this seemingly only provides bet IDs, not the actual names of horses backed and basically is pretty useless to update my P&L with?

                              Never had this problem before, and on Powers or every other bookie, can just scroll through the history of bets easily to see horses backed and the P&L for each bet?

                              If I am being thick - let me know, but been on Betfair since 2014 and can't figure it out!

                              Thanks!

                              • My account doesn't seem to have changed so I can see what I've always seen.

                                My Account > Betting Activity > Account Statement - shows a statement of all transactions including Sportsbook bets with just the bet reference and no horse name.

                                My Account > Betting Activity > Sportsbook Bets - shows a list of bets under 2 tabs, Open and Settled. The Settled tab shows the same bet reference that is on the statement, together with the horse's name and bet details.

                                The detail only seems to go back a certain amount of time though, it doesn't include bets more than a few months old.

                                Hope your account is still working the same as mine, I don't want it changing as I find the details on some bookies' websites are much better than on others!
