2019 Aintree Hurdle

[Faugheen_Machine]

Typical WPM. Hopefully no one got too badly burnt on BDD. She was cut across the board yesterday and then less than 24 hours later she's a NR.

He did specifically say that they were concerned about the ground for BDD.

This track should suit Verdana Blue imo.

Cant help myself - have had a tickle at Faugheen at 7s

He did Archie and was the reason I had a smaller bet than I otherwise would have done, no complaints from me

Did BDD NRNB with Laddies so going in for another try on Faugheen. Thought he ran a super race in Stayers and reckon this intermediate distance and the flat track will suit him. Nice price to. Can see him being bet on the day as always.

....11yo with no course form at Aintree is against the trends for Faugheen but I guess trends are there to be broken;

I didn't realise there was NRNB available on the supporting races. Was it just this race, or all Aintree races?

Laddies had it on all those quoted in shops. Not sure online.

Get the feeling Faugheen is going to roll back the years today. Walsh will lead all the way and run them into the ground. The rain will suit him more so than BD especially over the 2 1/2 miles. 2 miles on Soft is ideal for BD but over this distance in tiring ground with a strong pace set by the machine could be too much for him. I'm beginning to think Faugheen is a 'good thing'. Really looking forward to the race.

Look I've been backing Faugheen with no basis for years, I'm certainly not going to stop today

He wasn't even the first choice in those colours a few days ago


7 runners now is disappointing. Makes it very hard to have a decent bet each way.

So Buveur D'air it is

[Kevloaf]

You can get 7/2 3 places Faugheen ae/w at 1/4

Which does appeal

#flipflop


Hope he's okay !

Supasundae is like Oscar Whiskey; that’s his absolute ideal trip but has to make do at all sorts of distances elsewhere

Let's celebrate this race then.,... or we'll end up with a 'Ryanair' Hurdle.
