2025 Mares Hurdle

[Pisto]

If lossie hadn’t fallen last time out the thinking may be differ ent. Much easier to go to a now depleted Mares than the Churdle

[Carnage at Taunton]

She'll never win a Champion hurdle yet they've had it as the plan for the whole season and suddenly they're going to switch less than a week before the race

Plans can change though, BDA emerging as a serious contender and CH beating her on his comeback and her nasty fall last time.
Anyway, nothings been said as of now.
Well not for definite I mean

My opinion of course, but they've been basically saying for 2 years straight that this is the plan and to switch at the last minute is just a bit silly in my opinion. Yes plans change but even after she fell LTO they reiterated that it was still the plan

She won't win if they don't try. We might as well just have match races, that'd be fun.

O'Leary would have got hammered on here if he said BDA was missing the CH, yet those criticising MoL will give RR a pass.

[Quevega]

Pretty sure Willie will want 2 darts at the champion hurdle
but we’ll see.
Be embarrassing if they switch now.

[Atlantic Viking]

Hence why plenty keep calling for a rule change. Still, at least we got 3 more handicaps.

To be fair though, Lossie ain’t thrashed the reigning champ this season.

[DenmanSacre]

Disgraceful if they turn up here. Q needs to pack his bags of shit to throw at Willie and Ricci in the parade ring.

cos state man has no fucking chance

Might not be left on the shelf after all.

[Carnage at Taunton]

Yes it’s frustrating for us, but it’s not a surprise to
me as I don’t think she’s in the first two in CH, and it’s entirely possible her connections agree, and she has another race that she would be hot fav for.

Rich obviously wants Paul on board

And he aint getting that going to the Champ Hdle

With BDA and Con Hill confirmed for the CH, and with the real lack of depth in Ricci's squad this year, I don't blame him, and neither does my pocket

At least we're getting the 'clash' of CH and BDA, thats what everyone is most looking forward to, but agree, hopefully next year the Mares is gone in the form of a G1 so that these things can't even be considered.

Agree re SM
But don’t mean RR should not want her in a race she has the best chance of winning
If she’s in the Mares imo it’s because they know she can’t win the CH.

One stone bruise away from an absolute shit show

At least you admit it's pocket talk.

It's a good way of turning fans away from the sport imo.
