Great race with a great winner... Got to hold my hand up and say well done the Fly backers, i did have a £50 bet on him at 7/2 AP, but i still would have liked Zarkandar to win, and have won a lot more in return... Saying that, i was impressed with Rock On Ruby just as much as the Fly... Countrywide Flame cost me some e/w money but, hey ho... Never mind, move on... NEXT...!!!
That's made my Cheltenham. Couldn't care less what happens next now the Champ's got back what's his. Great run from the second- big respect ROR. Not given the credit he deserved last year but shown this year he's a proper horse. What happened Zarkander though- World Hurdle horse next year methinks...
some race that-- r-o-r set a blistering pace, only the fly could live with it-- superb achievement, my missus wants carlito b for her treble ! aaarrgghh
Aye ran a cracking race, e/w money back if you went e/w. that's why I don't have a betfair account, would lose my life savings in minutes.
Who do we fancy to chase home Quevega guys? Une Artiste and KGL are the ones I'm looking at. Delighted for the Fly also, won it in great style!
So Paddy Power having to refund all bets on the Champion Hurdle, won't benefit from it myself but that is one upside to losing my bet Lets hope quevega can do a bit more damage
Nahhh just in on the win mate. Great win from Hurricane Fly and a smashing effort from ROR to make all. Really enjoyed that race. Get money back as well off Paddy Power so all good.
Une Artiste was extending all the way to the line against KGL last time out and with Swing Bowler being the pricewise pick(i think) its drifted out to 6/1 Quevega to win Une Artiste EW money
Right here is my mad shout for today. Don't fancy Quevega to win. UNE ARTISTE (11-2) the win bet and SIRENE D'AINAY E.W (40-1). Trainer used to have Une Artiste and apparently thinks this one is better.
Aye mate so money back afterall. It was a cracking offer, I don't think there was anyone who at least wasn't wary of the fly. Very bold decision to send ROR off like that as well there's more G1s in him. Just hope next season they give the fighting fifth or Xmas hurdle a go. I thought your boy would hate the ground tbh would love to see the time, perhaps the hurdle course is running pretty much good but the chase course is still sticky and slow.
To be honest beefy that was my thought straight after id calmed down from the race... He got done from the constant pace of Rock On Ruby and only the Fly could handle him in the end... The hill didnt help him out like i thought it would do, as when you watch he wasnt gaining anything come the end of the race... I still love him to bits, but not as a Champion Hurdler...
