2023 Mares Hurdle

[On The Fringe]

2m4 Mares Hurdle entries at Leopardstown on 29th out later today. Hopefully a certain Brandy Love in the entries...

This is the first race I am going to be looking at among the entries for that reason

I've cashed majority of the bets I have with her in, it isn't looking good

It was reported she come into training late but isn't a good look no

[darlojim]

She was late back, confirmed by Jennings as in full work now, she probably just needs another few weeks

Back late yes, but what else can she run in that would give her a good prep as she doesn't run here? Irish champion maybe?

Someone like Saxon Warrior will have a better idea of other preps she could run in prior to the Fez?

[Lobos]

You are backing the wrong Love.......

Quevega Mares Hurdle at Punchestown in mid-late February the only obvious one I can see from the calendar... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quevega_Mares_Hurdle

Hardly ideal though given the proximity to the festival. Not sure if there are many other options unless they take on the geldings.

Punchestown RIght Handed as well so unlikely

I thought WPM had said he'd be happy to go Mares Hurdle with a single prep run, or even straight there if needed.

It might just be me, but I wasn't expecting to see her entered up until late Jan or early Feb.

It wouldn't be unlike Willie to do as much, so I hope you are right

Here's the detailed Race Programme for the rest of the season, in Ireland.

Brandy Love came back in late, didnt she, so theres no fuss about her getting started at Christmas, to my mind, anyway.

The Quevega Hurdle would probably be the one - if they want to stick to a Mares Only race.

As soon as the later start was announced I thought it could be one run before Cheltenham for Brandy Love, and then maybe to Punchestown.

Yep. She goes well fresh so it wouldn't be a huge shock to me if it was straight to Cheltenham.

it's far too early to be cashing bets on her imo.
