2017 Mares Novice Hurdle

Airlie Beach ran with the choke out and ran out of gas because she never got a breather. Hopefully she'll learn from that.

Of all the horses I backed she was my biggest disappointment. I think she is a better than that ...thanks for report archie.
 
Happy with the 2nd behind Apples Jade archie? Almost impossible task taking on AJ but ahead of the supplemented Karalee?

Any idea about next season? Fence?
 
She ran ok to the second last at Fairyhouse bearing in mind that she scoped moderately and was slightly sore after the race. I was more than happy with yesterday's run especially as she was cut up on the bend by the winner.
Next season will be down to Willie. She could go hurdles, fences or even the breeding shed but my preference would be hurdles, maybe seeing if she gets a trip.
 
Interesting. Let us know any updates and good luck as always :encouragement:
 
Airlie looks to be heading for the Prix La Barka at Auteuil on Saturday.
 
And, right on cue, Willie has decided that Airlie doesn't go.
 
Thanks archie.

I think Kevin Blake did an article proving that being in foal brings out improvement within the last month.

Best of luck
 
Cheers Kev. My stepdaughter (with a masters in equine science) isn't convinced. I'd probably go with the view that, when you have a deadline, you're selective about races and do all you can to add value to the broodmare price.
 
Buying money tonight surely! Best of luck :)
 
I missed the race last night. I'll take a look now. Congratulations Archie! :very_drunk:
