2024 Stayers Hurdle

[Lobos]

Teahupoo got 166 for the Hattons Grace and also two efforts of 168 including the previous Hattons Grace.

Hattons G over 2 1/2m. IMO Teahupoo is at his very best over that mid trip and that he's not quite as effective over the Stayers trip. That little bit can make the difference.

You are correct, I was looking at his official rating

The key with Teahupoo is not the trip it’s running him fresh! His best performances have all been when returning from a racecourse break. He’s never been beaten off a the back of a break!

Easily done

Didn't help him in last year's race though.

Huh, he ran in the Galmoy, he wasn’t coming in off the back of a proper break.

50 odd days! What do you call a proper break?

[Guinness Village]

6 weeks in Vegas

Sir gerhard is to the Stayers what appreciate it was to the ryanair

[Eggs]

Been a fair bit of money placed on Noble Yeats for the Cleeve.
20's into 6's general.
It is an E Mullins horse so could yet go off at 20-1+
But the 25-1 NRNB with Hills for the stayers is reasonable value I reckon.

The trainer can pull off stuff like this and I'd rather back this than Ahoy Senor.
He'll definitely stay and also seems to have gears.

….Noble Yeats Cleeve/Stayers 80-1 with Sky.

You wanted stage star to go straight to the festival from the paddy power. Presumably because you believe the horse is better after a long break. Why cannot it also be true of teahupoo who has put in a 168 performance after a 219 day break and a 166 after a 220 day break. If the argument is good for one it’s good for the other.

No argument here. Sort of confirms my previous point that after that sort of break he's only ever won over 2m or 2 1/2m. I'm not convinced he's as good over 3 .

Aye, without even being a particularly big price. He'd be right down my list.

Rather back Home By The Lee again

Because Lobos hasn't backed teahupoo

Teahupoo has run twice over 3 miles

Bolted up in a weak galmoy

Was one of several horses ridden miles to far back in this race last year. But was the only one of them that got involved and may have still won If his jockey hadnt turned into a slalom skier down the straight.

A year older, a year stronger, unexposed at the trip

Going there fresh this year

No French horse to contend with now

Best British stayer is Crapbo

He can't win this renewal he will never win one
