2025 Champion Hurdle

[FinalFurlong91]

I think it's worth something.

With the way it was run no horse other than BDA could possibly have won

Il be taking that form with a pinch of salt myself.

[FinalFurlong91]

Tell me you haven't backed BDA without telling me you haven't backed BDA...

Tell me you have backed BDA without telling you have backed BDA...

That was a farcically run race, I can't be the only person that sees that.

that is not the true running of those horses and those circumstances won't happen again at Cheltenham.

iv not backed anything in this race either so I'm not pocket talking having backed something else.

A record time on the clock and 30 length victory in a grade one pinch ?

Do you not think King of Kingsfield will make the running again ?

There’s nothing to stop them doing it again though.

Paul could have closed the gap early on when he saw what was happening and couldn't. When he's tried to, he's ended up going backwards from the last.

Until we get more evidence on the track, both of Willies are best off a slow or middling pace and they aren't going to get that again.

If BDA goes to the DRF against State Man, do you think he'd reverse the form?

So because they set championship race fractions up front it was farcical? I'm confused...

Obviously yes. If you're taking it literally she's rated 190.

[Quevega]

Obviously yes. If you're taking it literally she's rated 190.

Now you're being silly.
It's clearly not worthless form or pinch of salt stuff.
It's somewhere in between.

Voice of reason has spoken, desist with your foolishness.

[Carnage at Taunton]

I said I could change my view after todays race, and I now have Lossie finishing 3rd.
As long as connections of BDA don’t ruin it!!

Gordon using the aidan obrein tactics

Paul was fast asleep. Race was over after 2 furlongs.

The form isn't worth the paper it's written on. It was a relay race not a horse race. All BDA had to do was beat king of kingsfield.

Genius tactics from Gordon though.

I’m not sure the form needs to be worth anything. The only thing that matters imo is the winners performance, the rest is an irrelevance for me. Imo very few horses in training could have lived with her today. My concern would be if she has pushed herself too hard but time will tell on that .

Got Apples Jade Irish Champion hurdle massacre vibes all over it.

It is a 100% certainty that he gets closer unless falling over. This form can't be taken literally.

Which is what I Obviously said. Its not worth the paper its written on.

Then all the BDA backers have got their knickers in a twist.

Two horses from the same yard have been allowed to go 20 clear. BDA drafting in behind KOK the sacrificial front runner. Race was over after a furlong.

Could state man beat BDA at the DRF, yes of course he could. Will he? I have no idea.

But If we switched todays tactics and state man had been allowed a 20 length head start and a team mate to pace make for him hed have won by a hurdle too.

[Carnage at Taunton]

It’s a classic case of a true run race catching a horse out that’s used to running in slower paced races, as been
mentioned, but some choose to ignore it seems!

I thought this was even more brutal so as a backer I’m a little worried . I hope I’m wrong because if she turns up in March in that kind of shape it’s gonna be interesting.
