2024 Champion Hurdle (Previously Constitution Hill thread)

[Kevloaf]

6/4 NRNB for Constitution Hill ..... with WH?
Have to play that surely?

This almost certainly I'd say. Jack get's two rides with genuine chances, albeit a small chance still in the Churdle.

Why digress from the plan re Lossie though? Willie's plan is that she has a comfortable season as a 5yo. Why would he run her against a 170 horse in State Man? Wouldn't make sense to me still.

Ruby was explaining the entry for lossie saying it was in case con/state man didnt make it....if con doesnt make it then i think she will still go mares still but the chance of a churdle run has increased tho.

Just bathe him in a bath of Vicks VapoRub, he'll be grand!

Bit of mucus never hurt anyone!

Similar applies to Irish Point.

Mucus so testing to see the severity of the infection.

If no blood in it'll he'll be fine, week on antibiotics,but can't work at all while on them, if he's fit enough now that's not a real problem, if he isn't...

What's the prize money for 2nd in this compared to winning the mares hurdle?

On my phone so can't be bothered to dig it out myself.

I'd say that's not coming in to Rich Ricci's thinking like it might do for some owners/trainers. Rich is obsessed with winners.

2nd £95,400 CH

1st £67,524 MH

It’s a no lose scenario in my head.

Yeah it's long gone now, I thought it was wrong at first glance and went with it.... but in my diary now rather than clog up this page with my own faffing

Don't think I'd like to risk it. Could run but still be feeling affects.

Impaire Et Passe maybe too?

It does open this up

I imagine it's in his thinking, in terms of whether that's enough to sway him is another matter.

To be honest I think Willie would rather keep her in calmer waters this season too, was just curious.

Don’t think prize money comes into it with the big owners, it’s festival winners. Plus WPM can win both grade 1’s for 2 big owners in his yard.
