That was unbelievable simply superb performance. Istabraq has 4 Irish CH's Hurricane Fly now has 5. Horse of a lifetime.
**** me what can you say about Hurricane Fly? He looked cooked 3 out but jesus did he respond to Ruby's urgings and would've won even without Jezki's mistake. I'm not saying he'll win but he has to have another crack at the Champion Hurdle, surely? It will be a travesty if they send him to the World Hurdle.
Tremendous will to win from his position. McCoy was awful on Jezki again and surely Jess Harrington needs a word in JP's ear about getting Geraghty on board. McCoy looks like a rabbit in headlights on classy horses- sitting still and allowing Hurricane alongside- big mistake against that warrior!! Well done Hurricane. Surely he will run in the Champion again? He will need some rain but you just never know with his story and career.
Two Group Ones not bad now stick would you say Jaysus that's some reception there, you'd not see that anywhere else bar Chelts. Just love it, proper racing people
Most good National hunt horses would like rain TC they like Good to soft underfoot conditions and the great ones can handle heavy in big races.
McCoy cant get a horse to put a clean round in, amazing in a finish and a dedicated professional but not in the same class as Walsh and Gerraghty really. Think the Fly would have won anyway, some horse to still be doing it for this long, nearly unbeatable in those Irish races but no chance at Cheltenham again.
He's already bagged 2 Champions lads! Up to others to win even ****ing one eh?! What did McCoy do wrong there too? Hold onto him any longer and he'd been done for toe.. 22 Grade Ones. Incredible. Not bad for the horse they said 'just beats Solwit' lol lol lol
If The Fly does go to Cheltenham he will likely have that ****ing numpty Townend sat on his back No way will Ruby get off Faugheen for Hurricane Fly. Maybe they should put McCoy on the fly, get after him after the 3rd hurdle and get him stoked up nice and early
Arctic Fire ran another solid race too he's short of the top table but if he maintains that level he should pick up a few lower grade races soon.
Wouldn't be surprised should No More Heroes lack the tactical speed of Windsor Park as I've him down as an Albert Bartlett type but I'm hopeful he cope. Beat Shaneshill in a sprint and he's a fair marker
