2024 Stayers Hurdle

[Kevloaf]

Skelton's needing the run and Spectre says Dan loves him. Stayers definitely the target. Lump on Kev.

Having got a horse with Spectre and Dan, I can tell you Spectre and Dan love everything.


Owners and trainers liking their own horses is not top of the pile

With regards Theleme, 17 of 18 career starts at auteuil would concern me with regards to being such a short price for the stayers hurdle

Time for him to step out and do it somewhere else, I'm not worried

Absolutely it is, and @ 20/1 + i'm sure you are on at it's a fair price, but the 7/1 best price he is now i'd advise anyone cheltenham is a different proposition to auteuil, having said that he could love the undulations but unless he comes over beforehand i'd be dubious at those odds

May seem like my thing is reading too much into quotes but... I don't really like the way the interviewer asked them direct about Cheltenham and they just gave a standard cliche answer. Would've much preferred to hear them be asked about plans and actually mention Cheltenham themselves like. Reckon she could've said anything and the (inherited) owners would've just gone along with it there.

But I'm in anyway

Bit hard to run elsewhere when it's the only premier jumps track in France other than compiegne

Not backed Theleme. Not going to as thinks English hurdles will be its down fall. You lot can take the piss when it bolts up in March

i'm not suggesting he should be competing at lyon parilly but i'd like to have seen a 7/1 shot (in november) for a championship race at cheltenhm festival to have experienced a british or irish NH racecourse

Frenchie not for me. Just doesn’t smell right

Supposedly having a prep race on the flat before Cheltenham. All systems go.
