    It’s so long, there has to be something in it. The one who got closest, Denman, ran in the year it was held at Cheltenham even. I’ve no idea what, but it’s got to be something to do with the track at Newbury or timing of the race maybe.

      Yeah timing of races could be the answer. You are right though, it can't be a coincidence going on for so long. One of those mystery's. I'd definitely not run one of mine in it if I was thinking of going to the fez that's for sure!!

        Stayers tend to win the Challow

        The ballymore is very often won by horses with a proper turn of foot

        Thyme hill, champ, bravemansgame and stage star have all won the Challow recently so it's been a strong race they just weren't quick enough to beat the Irish horses at Cheltenham

        The drinmore has a similarly bad record but it gets mentioned far less

          "It can't be coincidence going on for so long"





          Fuck me.




          When Willie hadn't won a QMCC or CGC .... was that trend coincidence for a bit and then can't be because it'd spanned ages?



          Absolute fucking nonsense.




          If you genuinely believe winning a Challow Hurdle means you cannot win at the festival, you are a moron.

            There has been one winner of the Challow follow up at Cheltenham, just was in the Albert bartlett not ballymore so it can be done

                        I shouldn't really be surprised at that, looks like they've just took a few of skybet's piss poor prices and put them on their own site !

                          There's a few that are ok. 5/1 about any of Willie's Bumper horses isn't that bad as they could go to as many as 7 races. The prices on El Fabiolo, Facial Vega and Marine Nationale are about right at this stage taking into account the Constitution Hill factor.

                              The facile vega price is awful he’s 5/1 on sky for starters. Realistically the top bumper horses are only going to be aimed at a maximum of three races now with the change in hcap rules, Willie simply starts his out too late to get the four runs in. Out of those you can probably narrow them down to two possibilities in most cases.

                                5/1 decent with Sky for any remaining FV fans out there then.

                                Who's his top Bumper horses????
