Betfair Hurdle

 

Good analysis here.

By Timeform's Jamie Lynch

He's gone for Aurigny Mill for the value bet 20/1

 

Aurigny Mill does look good ew as does Lookaway

 

Nico timed that to perfection!

 

My 2 dropped right out and finished nearly last I think. Winner top rated with a "p" by Timeform

 

Didn't look like a handicap did it

 

pity we didn't look at from that angle before the race, what with the Timeform rating as well

 

Persian War, Bula, Comedy of Errors, Lanzarote, Night Nurse, Monksfield and Sea Pigeon. In order to win the Champion Hurdle from 1968 to 1981 you had to beat a true champion and be a true champion.
These days they don't like it up 'em.

 

Won at 7/2 SP. Things are looking-up. That Harry Cobden is one hell of a jockey, cool as a cucumber on Paul Nicholls charge. Fine ride on a promising young jumper.

 

I didn't see the message, just as I haven't seen the horses I posted today.

Again well done.

 

For Ron:

I see Francesco Clemente finally won a Gp3 race in Florida today (Saturday).Now trained by Chad Brown I guess the drugs work.

 

Oh FFS. What a shame. So much potential. Is he still entire?

 

Try tell that to The Verve.

 

yes

 

I see prior to that he was 2nd in a G2, beaten a neck, whilst still trained by the Gosdens. Would love to see him get his G1

 

Is favourite for the County but his trainers record in the race since 2000 ain't exactly spectacular - 0/38!!!

The old boy did come close to winning the race a couple of years ago though when First Street was denied by State Man. The latter handicap blot (off 141) or what that day?!?
