When asked after the race at xmas if jetara was for sale her owner replied "everything is for sale", and with JP McManus owning her close relative jezki who was also trained by Jessica Harrington, I wouldn't be surprised if he came in for her at some point. if that happened plans could change very quickly.
Thats very a interesting angle. It weird JP has never had a mare place in the mares hurdle much less win it. The one thing I'm sure of is Jetara doesn't want 2m and thats something which has been echoed by JH. I'd love to see JP come in for her.

Wouldn’t she go Mares Novice?
Been won before on second attempt by Concertista
Easier race - albeit 2m, but favours a strong stayer

I don't think so. Been shown up a bunch of times over 2m and seems to relish an intermediate trip. They've said they'll probably go 2m6f at the DRF and I cant see them racing over that trip there, then coming back down to the minimum. It would be unorthodox but given the favourite is MIA the mares novice looks open. There is certainly no Honeysuckle or beast in there and she's on an upward trajectory IMO.
You’d be half thinking the 2m4f grade 1 at Fairyhouse would be top of their priority list. Plenty of time for JP to snap her up then to come back for the Mares next season with some nice black type in the locker.

Yeh thats been a worry of mine for a while. Took a big price knowing this might be the case.

Last years Fairyhouse results show it near impossible to run to a good ability in both. 2m4f being her trip & the bonus of the race being a grade 1 must be taken into account.

Just to remind you quevega took a break of 241 days from her 4 year old season in to 5, returning in mid February, before winning the mares hurdle.
so I'd hardly call lossiemouth or gala marceau MIA.

I know it's been done before but with the benefit of hindsight we know Quevega was a freak of nature. Sounds like its always been the plan to start Lossiemouth late and/or go straight to Cheltenham but that doesn't detract from the fact that she is MIA and will be stepping out of novice company into open company over an unknown trip as a short priced favourite.
