Champion Hurdle 2019

Supasundae may not have the speed to win a Champion Hurdle round Cheltenham on good ground but he's got plenty of chance to win the 2 mile trials in Ireland this year, as he did last season even on soft ground. Samcro isn't a 2 mile hurdler, Melon is vulnerable outside of Cheltenham and a real strong pace and Laurina has to prove she can step it up.
To clarify as well, I wasn't so much putting Supasundae up as a fancy for this race or a likely winner. I just raised him several times as the horse I would back each way at 20/1 when looking through the field rather than chancing the likes of Summerville Boy/Laurina
I just don't see how today had any bearing on his chances.

If he makes it there at all. If the CH come up good to soft you genuinely think he wont be badly outpaced?
Samcro has alot more pace than him. Melon has alot more. Buveur dair in a whole different league. Laurina is meant to be the next superstar mare according to her backers.Last edited by Scooby91; 2 December 2018, 03:00 PM.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

It was soft - which is one rung away from goodtosoft on the going ladder, and it was a speed test as it was over 2 miles.
Plenty of horses have won the champion hurdle in the past that were not what you'd describe as speedy/turn of foot horses, but they could maintain a really strong gallop and/or keep going up the hill when the others were gassing. Just depends on the pace/ground/oppostion and shape of the race on the day. Jezki, Faugheen, Brave Inca, Rock on Ruby, Hardy Eustace etc.
I don;t think he'll run on the champion, I haven't backed him either, but given certain conditions he may/would interest me nearer the time
