2017 Mares Hurdle

Can't agree there Al, she loved the hill last year and that was over the stiffer New Course.
She also got stronger as the race progressed against a fit Apples Jade on deep ground over 2m 4f last time, she needs a stamina test in my eyes, came unstuck at Aintree because it's a speed track in my opinion and not given chance to use stamina.

If that's your take you should be laying her all at 2.36 and have the field running for you....
 
If VVM and Limini and AJ torn up this is am incredible race really for entertainment, we can't have it both ways and complain the best don't take each other on. Vvm and liminI and AJ Aren't CH quality, so we should celebrate them running.

I'm still 100% in the camp that Willie won't let his grip on this race go, especially to AJ / Giggi so pathetically, whichever Ruby picks is my nap of the day.

The 'other' might hopefully drift too far but any one on each way out side the top 3 must be in a world of pain as it stands tonight?
 
I personally can't see the two racing each other! However, with the Limini win quite questionable as true form, and WPM in interviews seems to be thinking this i believe as well ( even if he doesn't say it) it is impossible he will run the two!

Just it normally isn't the done thing in the yard to have 2 runners from the same owners, especially when both would be fav!
 
Who goes from the front to harass Apples Jade?

Who sits behind Apples to pick up the pieces?

2-pronged attack to hold the title from Willie

Rich Ricci:

"What you can do is to be too clever by half, spread yourself too thin and walk away with nothing. I'm not interested in that after the year we've had so, although it wouldn't be my usual stance, I wouldn't be against both Limini and Vroum Vroum Mag taking each other on.

Both are working well, there is still a week to go and we won't be calling that until the weekend I'd imagine."

Surely not?!

Rich gets a bad rep but there you go...that was last week.
 
Struggling to work this puzzle out now.

Limini looked awesome the last day. Is she best fresh? Will AJ come on massively for it as she did earlier in the season? Not ideal for AJ to front run, and essentially become a sitting duck either. But it was Liminis first run in ages, and i was really expecting AJ to win going from the front.

VVM faces them- does this mean a) having had AJ last season, they really fear her? b)VVM hasn't been firing and she'd be going elsewhere if she was? Therefore, you'd be siding with Limini? c) They are really questioning the Limini previous race and think AJ is a certainty to improve past her?

Basically, I could back all 3 for reasons, so I'm in a bit of a sticky one lol
 
What a fascinating race if they all turn up. Interested to see how they price it up.
 
I am skeptical that both will turn up. VVM sparking, turns up to defend her crown. Limini kept back for Aintree? They'll say she wasn't working quite right.

OR the other way round?

:confused:

I think if they do both line up, the only thing I'll have got right is that WIllie is going absolutely all out to ensure he wins this race, and Gigginstown and AJ don't!

As a single race I actuially have a nice spot, VVM *Any race) 8 points 11/4 and Limini 1.5 points each way at 10/1 .... but for multiples I absolutely need VVM to win!

She was my banker for the day, and if Ruby doesn't ride I will be in a mnuch worse position than I'd expected to be in!

They will all now turn up FM, complete change of attack from Ricci in allowing two of his to take each other on but that's what he's doing, great for racing....
 
Anyone know where Colin's Sister is heading?
After her last race they intimidated she wants further than 2m so I don't think she will race in the Mare's Novice.
She's also entered in this and the AB.
I've liked her runs and she may be one to take on the well thought of Irish runners at a big e/w price?
 
According to Paddy Power, Brennan is booked for the Mares Hurdle, 20/1 still available... Might help myself to a slice...
 
Thanks SMB. I took some big prices on the exchange after her last run and also 25/1 each way.
Will probably look to lay her off for a free bet on the day, but I think she still has a chance despite the Mullins big guns.
 
Ruby jocked up on Limini. Paul on VVM!

Limini looks to be the bet then I guess if ruby thinks she is better than VVM

I still can't believe this is happening. I still can't see them both runbning...I think VVM might not go! haha
 
What's RR second colours? That will be interesting in itself.
I wonder if Mrs Rickie is busy sewing :highly_amused:
