    • On a serious note, Henry's really have been emptying quite quickly at the business end recently, haven't they

      • Don't get folk talking of retirement or rerouting etc, KD goes well fresh and Tea ran a big figure when last having his ground, she regularly hits 160 and has prob ran 3/4 lbs below it today with allowances. Reckon she wins that on better ground and couldn't write her off over 2m nto, she's still last off the bridle with KD. Obvs fair way off what CH is churning out the last twice but hopefully at her best nto as will feel robbed if not getting a clash day 1.

        • All good, very good and great horses lose races. The going today was Irish soft. Raining most of the day, bordering on heavy, and over 2.5 miles. Hope the connections don't lose their bottle and she comes over for the CH. A nice price now, if you only knew she was still targeting the CH.

            Feel like I have to whisper such things, but I don't think Rachael has been at her best recently either.

              I'm not ITK at all, and I trust the source as far as I can throw him, but I've heard chat this is her last season

                Yeah there's been a bit of talk on twitter that she's retiring to the breeding shed at the end of the season.

                  Heard this at an Irish Racing meet a few weeks back and source would be fairly black and white and not one to sensationalise. Between ticking off all she has wanted to do in the game and more, the De Bromhead tragedy and in general her disdain for the limelight, you'd imagine there has to be some smoke to it and she sees a bigger picture. Bit of a kick in the privates if Honey and A Plus Tard, her two most important horses both peter out like a fart in the wind.

                  • You'd need to be really motivated if you've already won the National, the Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle, never mind a whole host of other races, and are respected as a trailblazer, even more so if you naturally don't want the limelight. Many would then want to move on and do other things in life.

                    • Anyone not on Constitution Hill will be searching for a bit of value or the betting without market

                      Personally think the 50/1 Epatante is a bit of an insult and an overreaction

                      She’s got to have a great chance of placing

                        Having already been battered by Constitution Hill, unless something were to happen to him I'd say there's next to no chance she'll be going anywhere but the Mares Hurdle for me.

                          Looks like everything is going to be battered by Constitution hill

                          She has won one champion hurdle and placed in another two

                          Really hope the best of the rest turn up to keep Constitution hill honest

                                Personally don't think she'd stay 2 1/2 around Cheltenham. Fully expect her to run in the Churdle for place money especially after Honey disappointed today.
