Looks like Kargese going down the handicap route. Have we heard anything from the yard?Comment

David Casey suggested this was a possibility in a preview with the owner having 2 other horses that could go Mares hurdleOriginally posted by Unexposed View Post
Jade de Grugy and Gala Marceau
Also makes sense for her to go County as she is so keen she might not see out the extra distanceComment

BDA going Champion.
Sticking or twisting WM?Comment

Shes a shoe In for this imo, jade isn’t.Comment

They'll go CH. Jade's not a shoe in but she's definitely the one to beat now and could go off very short.Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View PostComment

PP has left cash out open on BDA for the mares,just got mine back nowComment

Well you don’t know that.Originally posted by Lobos View Post
Whether we like it or not they. do have a decision to make and they will know she’s more likely to win the Mares now than the CH.
Any mare that don’t have BDA to beat has to have a better chance of winning a race.
We shall see soon.Comment

If Lossiemouth goes to the Mares, then Willie and connections need pelters for going for the easy race. I don't think they'll change to it though. The optics look bad and her going back to it gives Cheltenham the excuse then to make changes to the Mares Hurdle, which Willie won't want. He will think long term and he's got JDG and Kargese (maybe) to come here with chances.Comment

You are right, I don't but the fact that BDA has gone CH massively increases the chances of Jade winning the Mares so Willie already has a ready made winner of the race which Paul will ride and won't feel the need to divert from their 2 year Lossiemouth Champion plan. He'll also have two very good horses to go to war with against Brighterdaysahead and Constitution Hill rather than just leaving it to State Man.Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View PostComment

Oh.there’s 2 year plan ?Originally posted by Lobos View Post
Did that include what they know now?
Anyway, let’s hope they make the popular decision for us .Comment

Not Willie has ever been bothered of what the optics look like. He has plenty of excuses he can roll out if he wants to put Lossie in the mares. Hopefully not, though it would help a few long range doubles for me.Originally posted by DenmanSacre View PostLast edited by Magpie; Yesterday, 09:42 AM.Comment

Anybody that makes a plan that doesn’t allow for flexibility in that plan is brain dead and is just a hostage to fortune. Fucking two year plan. Give me a break. Ricci is a businessman do you think he’d go to a board meeting and say well we have to do this now even though the environment has completely changed simply because 2 years ago we had it as our objective. Of course he fucking wouldn’t. The ability to course correct when necessary is a key to success in every walk of life, racing is no different
whether they go Champion or Mares will have fuck all to do with any 2 year plan. It will be based on their current evaluation of the situation and if emotions come into it then maybe things like pride/bravado/sportsmanship will play a part and for the sake of the race I hope they do but I fear they won’t.
Mind you I wouldn’t bet against them referencing the 2 year plan sound bite if if they do go down the CH path as it sounds a lot more impressive
