    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    I didn't think much of the Chepstow qualifier yesterday. After today we can start whittling them down. Probably no more than 4 or 5 on the short list at this stage.

    Probably only the top 5 would get in the final? The Waley-Cohen horse looks the winner for me

    What's the highest rated flat horse to run at Southwell ever? The whole thing is comparable to Ronaldo banging in goals in the Saudi Arabian league :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Its embarassing for horse racing. They have let the influencers in, no serious racing journalism about.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    It is something I've struggled a lot with over the years. Like many fans of the sport, I have become adept at blanking out the deaths. TV cameras swiftly cut to a different angle when a horse breaks down, the passing of a horse is noted with due sadness and reverence, and then its on to the next...

    For lovers of sloppy journalism - the BBC has an article on the kidnapping of Shergar, in which they report that the Aga Khan's colt won the King George VI Chase :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20260213-the-mysterious-kidnapping-of-shergar-the-champion-racehorse

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Have to remember he is 9 years old - very old to be having fanciful thoughts about Ebors and Melbourne Cups. I dont think he has beaten much tonight at all. The only horse in the Field with a rating was Skeltons who finished 3rd and he was rated 83. Giving CH 6lbs. The Level he has run to there...

    A bit under the radar screen but Sean Bowen rode his 200th winner of the season at Ffos Las today. Is AP's record under threat with 2 months of the season left to go?

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    I see Robert Waley-Cohen is trying to get one of his qualified for the final at Naas on Sunday - Melbourne Shamrock with Emmett Mullins. Interesting profile, unexposed novice. Bits of blue on Oddschecker today for the final, as low as 14s with Hills but 25s freely available. He runs off 121 on...

    2026 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    I'm amazed they don't take chase form into account when giving a hurdles mark. Yeah Man was 2nd in the Troytown off 139 (subsequently raised to 143) yet was allowed to run in the Leopardstown Pertemps Qualifier off just 118. That just seems bonkers to me. Its not as if the two codes are...
