    that;s encouraging, what a race that could be now

    • Wow. Can't wait for this race now.

      Glad I hadn't got too heavily involved in either this or the Mares yet. Really hoping Laurina gets switched now that would be fantastic!

      • I really don’t hope Laurina doesn’t get switched! I’ll be there on the Tuesday and what a clash BDA v Apples Jade v Laurina would be

        • Laurina vs BDA vs Apples jade - what a f*cking threesome ��

            Admittedly I'm talking from my pocket

            • My position on this race now
              4pt Laurina 12-1
              2pt Laurina 16-1
              2pt Apples Jade 20-1
              2pt Apples Jade CH v Laurina Mares 180-1
              2pt Apples Jade CH v Laurina Mares 55-1
              2pt Laurina Mares v Buveur D'air CH 21-1
              8pts Benie Des Deiux Mares v Apples Jade CH 22-1 NRNB

              What have I not covered ?
              What could possibly go wrong ?
              Financially Laurina winning mares and Apples Jade champion would be useful.
              But I'd kinda like to see the race myself.

              • Those Apples Jade CH, Laurina Mares vouchers look lovely. The Mares is more her trip and would be a penalty kick so surely Willie aims her that way now

                • Pretty sure Gordon said whatever decision Michael decides will probably go.....hasn't he said Mares all season?

                  Be interesting if Gordon can persuade him.

                  • Excellent news for racing fans, terrible news for my ante post bets.

                    • apples jade joint favourite now for most bookies

                      • Superb news. And my BD lay even better.

                        • AJ’s run style is what Laurina needs in a CH IMO. Don’t see why Willie should switch now particularly as he already has the defending champ as a penalty kick for the Mares.

                          • Here's the quote. He does say at the end having spoken to Michael. So it would appear they are all on the same page

                            Have to say I was a doubter of her over 2 miles but yesterday has turned that around. Still think Buveur D'Air will be a tough horse to crack but...

                            Incredible race in store

                                Anyone want to hazard a guess at starting prices if they all turn up?

                                BD 13/8
