Well, he still kinda led from start to finish at Rubys pace, didnt he? Not crabbing him- he's a machine, but if anyone thinks theyre going to take him on in the Champion Hurdle, then surely they need to think about a pacemaker and trying something different, because otherwise he's gonna dictate them into the ground. Especially Twiston-Davis if he thinks TNO is gonna get near There seems very little in the way of quality opposition (in terms of giving him a race) so it might be that we see a pretty similar ride to last year, with Arctic Fire again running well at Cheltenham in 2nd?
Engage early with Faugheen and you're broken. Look at Nichols today, tried to keep tabs with him, beaten a hurdle. Nothing can sustain his gallop, he burnt them off today with his big cruise
nicholls canyon and arctic fire are the 2nd and 3rd best hurdlers around says more about jump racing than anything else say what you like about the flat but never in a million years would there ever be so many G1s there simply to be picked up does Mullins have 10 freaks or no freaks? Faugheen vs Vautour vs Un De Sceaux vs Annie Power might have been interesting today, the machine beating a listed flat horse and arsechasing champion Arctic Fire is not so inspiring Jump racing is well and truly on its arse, Coneygree is the only horse in England who cant be laughed at, the rest of Ireland has given up even taking on Mullins 105 horses by the look of todays turnout
A rarity yes in any other months yes! A rarity come Cheltenham especially Day 1 of the festival no!! Those bookie chaps will think the amount they could have lost last year was a drop in the ocean with amount potentially they will loose
If you haven't backed these good things a long time ago I think the ship has sailed! I think it's about 6/1 now FFS. Luckily as the antepost thread shows a few people cottoned on to the fact there was a potential chance of Willie to nail the 4-timer. Well done on your Accra btw!
good to see The New One still the undisputed second best hurdler in training, only got beat 8L by Slowheen while Plodcholls Canyon and Spastic Fire got beat half the track today got to assume The New One would leave todays beaten "rivals" for dust
Thankyou very much sir yeah the 6/1 is ridiculous! I think last year the price of the 4timer on sp's was about 20/1 so it shows either how scared the bookies are running or these are even more certain than last years even tho it's 3/4! But the boat has sailed as u say the fair few go on early can u believe min was 10/1 (I know u got bigger and as u say Faugeen was odds against too) but good weekend over all and well done on yours too!! good to take the money off the bookies!
Beefy be proud, I took the 5/4 today for Faugheen to win today and again in March. The last bit of Cheltenham value has truly sailed. Bring on the weight publications for the handicaps please!
Welcome to Team Mullins lol You see that's where I think me and you really differ, in what races we like. You like handicaps and are very good at working them out, whereas I'm just a lazy bugger whose happy watching odds on shots hack up as I'm pure ****e at working out races that don't have a Mullins odds on shot!
