Mares Novice Hurdle 2018

Not a bad shout. DC says she runs in the ballymore.

Taking on Samcro?

Nice value you got though, but must mean Laurina is as special as they/I believe if wanting to avoid her!

I believe it was mis translated from the preview. Unfortunately
 
As it’s now clear MB is over her setback (according to the trainer), I think she’s a great bet at 6 times bigger than the favourite.

Ok Laurina was impressive. But MB has consistently ran well this season, shown a battling attitude when needed and an element of class. I’d have her all day over Laurina at 6/1
 
"Toby was confident that Barry Geraghty would ride Dame De Compagnie rather than Countister for J P McManus"....from a preview last night I hear.

I personally think countister might not run here. As i genuinely believe she's very good for her mark.

Fingers crossed Barry mentions something later on...

50/1 chance that he gives anything away :devilish:
 
Laurina getting very short across the boards now, I heard one of the people out of Mullins yard said laurina is the banker of the week. Will be interesting to see if Laurina gets it all her own way, I can’t wait to be there to see it !

She hasn't won yet, but I've been mad keen on her for a while now, even claimed her to be the next Annie Power / Apple's Jade.

I'm really hoping she lives up to expectations as currently AJ has the whole Mares' scene wrapped up and it will be good competition.
 
Sounds like Salsaretta is going then..... run to place and come back and win this race next year (Let's Dance style)....

Oh no. This has just become my worst bet of the festival!
 
Had a few quid ew on salsaretta nrnb now the race has cut up and she's drifted right out . She may well go to Fairy house but townend is jocked up, we will see. If she dosent make it I'll be taking any drift ew on Maria's benefit, should easily see 7/1 With the money around laurina.
 
I am going to have a small E/W on Contester, do not think it can beat the first two but I could see this staying on at the finish in the ground and you never know...
 
Sky got laurina 3lengths or more 5/2. Hills are 11/10 for over 3lengths..

If she’s as good as they say, she should win by that far..

I'm having some of this! I think she will be the next big thing as far as the Mares are concerned, provided she gets round of course.

I think that is a very decent bet for anyone not on Laurina

A decent bet for anyone that is on Laurina too
 
Them bets can be very frustrating she first has to win. Then if she was far superior. Your betting on townend to go for home and ride her out in the finish.
