2025 Mares Hurdle

[Lobos]

Just looking now her odds have drifted a bit with Jade being backed so there has already been ripples.

[Lobos]

So with that in mind and the far inferior rating,why would she affect the price of BDA?

Stiffer opposition equals better odds. I don't believe even BDA herself will ever put up a performance like that again either. Extraordinary.

[Carnage at Taunton]

Absolutely not. No one will get near that !

[Lobos]

You think she can get anywhere near BDA last run?

Absolutely not. No one will get near that !

Give Jade a chance ... We haven't seen her yet

And look what has happened with both horses since last March!! Absolutely chalk and cheese.
Im not particularly a ratings man but even I can’t ignore the difference between the two.
Only big opponents BDA can have from what I’ve seen are CH in the CH , and Lossie in the Mares.

[Carnage at Taunton]

Yes, I do think so but We'll have to wait and see what Jade looks like on return. They were close in the MNH last year so BDA connections will see her as a big opponent. Both really disappointed in that race so it could be that neither appreciated the ups and downs of Cheltenham and that they disappoint again.

With Jade De Grugy appearing to be back and her price shortening for the Mares, then with both being owned by the same owner, surely it’s the Stayers for Gala ?

Obviously though dependent upon how she runs on Saturday

If Jade returns with a bang then I'd imagine GM would go Stayers. Jade surely the better of the two on paper and more likely to put it up to BDA? See how they run first of course.

[Wayward Lad]

But which race will she run in at the festival…….Mares or Stayers?

Your guess is as good as mine

[Wayward Lad]

Think I cashed that ticket long ago Not regretting it though, things weren't sounding all that optimistic. Re-backed her now anyway, so hopefully she can come up with the goods.

[Lobos]

Would it?
Not sure it would make any difference.
Only Lossiemouth could possibly do that imo.

Hopefully her return goes well. If so she can put it up to BDA or send her down the CH route. BDA price in the Mares would be better though if Jade is back.

There wasn't much between them at Cheltenham last year. BDA had obviously improved a lot this year. Unlikely jade will have improved enough but you never know.

just nice to get a run for my money if all goes well

[Lobos]

Was very happy to read that

That's a bet I'd completely written off

You'd imagine they will leave plenty to work on at punchestown

Hopefully not much takes her on so she has a nice easy prep to prime her for Cheltenham

Time to start emailing Gordon and the olearys every day explaining why they have to run BDA in the champion
