[Exar Essay]

What happened to that horse is one of lifes absolute mysteries, he looked a potential star

Maybe, I'm wrong as they've said Bob may go back over fences! But if he doesn't show his form of old, he may be retired

Thanks for the info HesTheOne

Managed to get out of the Absolute Notions bets as I had put him in a few

RR on Lossiemouth....

“She’s a lovely horse and we won’t campaign her the same way we did with Vauban as it’s just too hard for them coming out of juvenile company,” the Champion Hurdle-winning owner said. “We think she is a very special filly.
“We think she is a Champion Hurdle filly, but I’d say we’ll go down the Mares’ Hurdle route this year and then the Champion Hurdle the season after.

“She is a top-class filly, maybe one of the best I have owned, and remember I have had Annie Power and Benie Des Dieux."

High praise indeed.

When was this quote from please as I listened to Spectre tiktok video today on the Mares Hurdle and his opinion was that Lossiemouth would not end up in the Mares?

What you'll probably find is that people feel she's a 2 miler, so up in trip won't win this race.

She's short enough for a horse that doesn't look like wants to go up in trip yet.


That's what I think you'll get coming back

[Cheltenham Novice Chase]

Absolute Notions staying over hurdles, Teahupoo possibly debut Hattons Grace then straight to Cheltenham for stayers. Irish Point may start WKD Hurdle Down Royal if he doesn’t go there he could go to the Hattons Grace as well the 3m Christmas hurdle at Xmas but Rob does think 2.5 is his optimum trip.

confirmed Qualamita DRF bumper is main target would be very unlikely to be a Cheltenham horse. Undeniable Alibi another one Rob is very excited about for bumpers said he could be an A player for Gordon’s, again owners don’t like the champion bumper.

Thanks HTO. Was this in a recent article?

Got an email from Betfair, no more best odds guaranteed from 10th October. Looks like we’ll be lucky if any bookie has the BOG by time Cheltenham comes round.

Poor reappearance from Feronily finishing second to My Design (best RPR of 131 previously) even giving away a stone. Two lengths clear of Frontal Assault in receipt of 4lbs too. But given connections, I can't help but feel that might've been by design. Had a mark of 155 in Ireland before today, and another couple of average showings might see this reduced by a few points. I'd be interested in him for the Grand National off 150 or thereabouts.

Alternatively, he is a horse who got better and better as the season progressed last year, so it might just be he needed today as a pipe opener.

Yes. They originally said so too. Willie is on record as saying she won't be back until the second half of the season and she doesn't want to go further than 2 miles. Also that it's possible she'll have a quiet season out of her juvenile campaign if she doesn't show him she's ready for a Champion Hurdle. I prefer to listen to what Willie said rather than Rich Richie in this case. Willie rarely changes his mind.

With that quote from Willie out there she's no bet for the Mares Hurdle until he says different. And given we won't see her until 2024 there's no rush to back her anyway.

That bit in bold, in every case
