2025 Stayers Hurdle

[FinalFurlong91]

To say I'm flabbergasted that teahupoo lost to bob olinger would be an understatement

How has bob gone and done that at 3 miles

Been stuffed by home by the Lee on his 2 other goes over the trip

Teahupoo ran a belter too not like he underperformed. Jack gave him the perfect ride. Big Gordo will be tearing his hair out.

Bob is a legend of a horse who loves Chelt ..,got his ground & was given the perfect play late ride

Dont think was about Tea today ….always beiled Bob could do that, but would take ice cool tactics and ground

Was at Cheltenham on Tuesday saying how rachel blackmore had gone backwards since her injury, then on Thursday she has two winners with my two antepost punts second, un bastard believable !

I was disappointed with lucky place yesterday.
Not sure they got the tactics right on him, think i would've preferred him to have been held up.

He probably just wasn't good enough but Nico appears to give up pretty quickly if things don't go his way.
It got a bit tight on the final bend and this is where luckys race was lost, maybe he just emptied.

Well done to Bob olinger and those that had him ante post, he really is a cracking hurdler on his day.

I thought Ricky's diamond ran a cracking race for a 5yr old, and he'll be a horse to keep an eye on next season for sure, whether that will be staying over hurdles or chasing I'm not sure.
He's only been racing since last march, so to be finishing 4th in the stayers hurdle a year after your debut is pretty good going.
If he stays hurdling it's likely he'll be competing with the likes of the wallpark, home by the lee and bob olinger for the top staying races in Ireland. 2 of those will be 10 turning 11 next season and they won't be finding any improvement, Rockys diamond on the other hand will be 5 turning 6 and likely to still be improving and learning still, yesterday only his 7th lifetime run.

Has anyone seen anything about future plans for Rockys diamond?

….haven’t seen anything about plans but I immediately looked for a price for next year and 365’s (and Sky) 40-1 Stayers seemed reasonable.

Nicky was interviewed during itv coverage before the race and said plans for next season were for chasing.
