Will BDA and Lossie both go for the CH? Rare to have a mare go for the Champ hurdle let alone two in the same season. Be great to see and hope they do but surely one will bottle it (Probably Elliott) and take the easier Mares hurdle.

Really? I think it's very common now, had some decent Mares over recent years, and trainers catching on with the allowance that gives them an even better shot! Has been 2 or more too, However I do feel Apples Jade running year if Gordy has that in back of his mind! But I'd say she (BDA) will be entered in both right up to Dec's, and make a call from there.Originally posted by Runragged View PostComment

Got JDG covered at a big price and I just can't have Gala for anything. Kargesse for me is the classiest of the three and if with another trainer she'd be trained for the CH. If she stays then her current price of 10's is huge imo.Originally posted by Wayward Lad View Post
So you back Kargese for the MH believing that BDA goes CH (I agree with you as I think she will go CH and that’s why I am looking particularly close at the MH market)
You hope that JDG misses the festival as she is higher rated than Kargese and has form at 2 1/2 miles ?
and that Gala jumps like a stag and goes MC ?
It’s another conundrum where an owner and trainer have three in the race, all with relative chances and logic says that all three will not run in the race !

Mares have turned up when the opposition wasn't strong. Honeysuckle was the highest rated in 2022 and that's not even accounting for the 7lb allowance. Epatante was 2nd that year also, but with the 7lb allowance she was joint 3rd best at the weights, 2lb behind Teahupoo. In 2021 Honeysuckle and Epatante were 1st and 3rd but again, allowing for the weight allowance then they were the best two at the weights.Originally posted by Big Bucks View Post
Obviously there is a long way to go and waiting on a reassessment for Lossiemouth but currently they will only be 3rd and 4th best accounting for the weight allowance. Agree though, I expect it will be a late decision on BDA while they see who will show up, plus what she does in her next race.Comment

Kevin Blake on JDG following his chat with Willie....
......."Mullins went on to reveal that Jade De Grugy has picked up an injury bad enough to rule her out for at least the first half of the season. Considering this, her general price of 4/1 for the Mares’ Hurdle seems to be very optimistic. "Comment

Gordon today spoke on ATROriginally posted by Lobos View Post
Options of both the 2m and 3m at Xmas then all roads lead to the Mares
ATR questioned what if she beat SM at Xmas, and he basically said he wants a winner at the festival and that would be more likely in the Mares, he sounded shit scared of Lossie.Comment

Cheers Darlo. I don't blame him !!Comment

So she beats the current CH champ, but her trainer is scared of the current Mares Champ?Originally posted by darlojim View Post

He'd probably say that he might have no balls (probably ate them) but he does have eyes.Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View PostComment

Yep and his eyes tell him it’s a waste of time taking on Lossiemouth apparently.Originally posted by Quevega View Post
Shame for the build up for the CH imo.
Good for this race though I guess.
