Mares Chase 2021

[Quevega]

No-one will know the answer to that question until she’s tried pitting herself against the best in a championship race...

Some would have a fair idea though

Patrick is going to be asked about BDD on this tonight apparently, starts at 6 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI9GOseVmwA

She’d obviously have a better chance of winning here than the QMCC, but it’s far from delusional connections might go there instead of here. She’s an Arkle winner that loves Cheltenham and gets a mares allowance. Why not have a go? It’s racing, anything can happen. Not that long ago and HDB was winning the QMCC with Special Tiara against Douvan at 2/9. Got to be in it to win it and who really gives a shit about a mares chase vs the QMCC. Its not like she’s a 9 or 10yo either, so if they have a go and if it doesn’t work out then she can take in the mares chase at 8/9/10.

I think this post absolutely nails it, not sure anything else needs to be said to be honest.

Patrick didn't answer where she is going. He kind of dodged question if she is fine. Would make some politician.

Anyone see that! Cagey as fuck hahahaha

Patrick confirms BDD is alive and well. Willie will make decision where she goes, he still does not know. Says she's fragile but they are well used to getting mares like Quevega and Annie Power ready for Chelt without a prep run..

[Magpie]

He may of said that, PP88, but his manner was a bit iffy to say the least with his answers.

I didn't hear any confirmation, didn't really answer the question.

I didn't hear any confirmation, didn't really answer the question.

True, he was tip toeing around the question but he was given every chance to say there may be any form of issue with her, and aside from saying she's fragile, I took from it that nothing has really changed on their end.

Although Davy Casey gave a similar update a couple of years back for Vroum Vroum Mag and she was retired the day after

Would love to get the thoughts of a body language expert on that, looked like me straight after the missus catching me eating ham straight out the packet again...

[darlojim]

dont see how anyone can think all is ok with her after that interview, absolutely sketchy as f**k.. he couldn't just say everything is fine with her.

He also had every chance to say she was fine...

Isn't it amazing how much time is dedicated to a horse we haven't seen, compared to all the ones that have.

The nature of a high profile horse!

[Magpie]

I was hoping my very small treble on honeysuckle.in Ch, Benie Mares Chase and Concertista MH @ 16s, and others at 10s would of got to the starting line. Could of been very interesting, come on benie, turn up! Ha

[Can't Catch Me]

He couldn't bring himself to say she was Ok, could he? I personally took it as all isn't well.

I just don't understand the secrecy. If she's up against it to get there, why not say so? If they are happy with where she is, why not say so? Just bizarre.
