2022 Mares Hurdle

[Irish Rugby]

What do I know, but my head tells me today is about getting Queens Brook fit for 2 weeks on Tuesday. Same route as Black Tears last year.

What do I know, but my head tells me today is about getting Queens Brook fit for 2 weeks on Tuesday. Same route as Black Tears last year.

Black Tears was a 148 rated mare. Queens Brook is rated 131 and by Gordon's own admission is difficult to train and keep fit. She's a watching brief for me until she shows something on a racecourse that warrants being 10/1. She could win today and take a big step forward but that would be a bold shout given quotes from GE and the market move from 10/3 to 6/1. If she ran with credit but lost today and was pushed back out I might add her.

Gauloise NR, shame

[Olliemagern]

Would imagine Gordy be delighted with that if she wasn’t fit as he suggests it’s hard to get her first time up

Had it easy, did it easy, job done.

Good win from BV. But seemed lazy on the run in. Maybe I'm being picky.

Still, glad to see the win today and fez go in. Small consolation following GQ news.

As a big Queens Brook backer & supporter I was very pleased with that. Will come on plenty & another step towards the main target. Pocket talking but I’d be confident she’ll reverse placing with BV at the festival

Well that provides as many questions as answers

Paul stole 5 lengths at the start and only won by 2

We now have a potential third pace angle in the race

Burning Victory jumped way better until the last using those forcing tactics so they will likely look to use them again

which plays into the hands of TMSG, maries rock and the other horses that will be ridden patiently

Queens brook ended up running a very nice race given she was conceding weight and race fitness to a horse rated 12lbs higher than her

Both a sea of blue on oddschecker

Skybet pushed BV out after that 9s NRNB and 10s Antepost. Bizarre

[FinalFurlong91]

Have taken the 12s on Queens Brook

Think that is more than fair after a very promising run

[Birds Nest]

Queens Brook to lose today and win the Mares is the bet again then

That worked out rather well Lobos...

[Lobos]

Had it easy, did it easy, job done.

Will not be troubling Telmesomethinggirl on that performance though will she ??

[Eggs]

….be interested in any post-race quotes on Queens Brook from connections.

I hope not but she's a fair horse BV.

[Lobos]

I hope not but she's a fair horse BV.

Just thought she was tying up at the end and carried her head awkwardly. Should be beating the 2nd a lot easier getting weight from an inferior horse. Not for me.
