2024 Cheltenham - the odds on offer.

Highly impressed by tullyhill on only his second bumper start

Didn't have the gears of the winner

Could be one to follow over hurdles

Agree. Looked immature and has loads of scope for improvement. Looks a Stayer to me. The winner is very, very good. Supreme looks his race. 5 Bumper wins out of 5.....has that ever been done before??

Looked like he’d excell for a step up in trip to me. Anyone else have a view on trip for Tullyhill next year?

Perhaps they should target the NHC with GW? He may get away with it in that race as opposed to against classier types in the BANC ?

Ummmmmmm....... interesting.

Bartlett. Bartlett. Bartlett.

I’ve not seen him display a change of gear needed for the Ballymore. But he races really relaxed and is a big unit so he covers the ground well. Martaline has also sired two AB winners previously too.

Yep agree. Ballymore or Albert horse for me. Let's see them all over a hurdle first though. That could change everything!
 
Surely Gaelic Warrior goes Browns and not Stayers? I suppose he could go Stayers then Browns. Hadn’t even contemplated that before today. To me he would improve for a fence and that was impressive today. Notwithstanding the LH/RH argument.

A dream to share is a proper flat bred so interesting if he continues to improve or takes to jumping
 
There is a small rick on the exchange in that Apples of Bresil is down twice. The correct spelling has gone unnoticed at around 40s. The incorrect spelling is close to market value of 25s.
 
……Klassical Dream into a best 16-1 Stayers.
 
Some money floating at the sales tonight.

Qualmita the highly impressive mares goes 500k to Robcour

I really liked her PTP win. But I liked Kudasheva and Between Waters too. Watching brief for me.

Deeply Superficial another big priced tagged mare to not back it up under rules. I posted about this on the General thread and, whilst I’m against PTP mares for the MNH, this lady may see me break that rule.

Ahhh don't do this to me. I'm easily swayed. 33/1 won't last long though given her price at sales.

JackieMoon33 Do you know what the highest rated PTP run by a mare is? 91 does seem very high.

I don’t but I can’t recall one higher than that or even in the 90’s before for a mare.

Her page is really impressive which leads me to believe she’ll be a sharper type than some of those PTP mares which I tend to disregard usually. Also, Walter Connors knows the time of day so his connection is another positive.

Understand your caution JackieMoon33 - Telmesomethingirl the only ex ptp horse to win the MNH in its eight-year history.

She won a point over 2m 4f and only turned up in the MNH two years later.

Also, Gordie yet to win it so a few things conspire against her.

Thought the point Qualimita won was a bit of a strange race which completely fell apart on the final circuit.

But she couldn't have won any more easily and it was easily the fastest time of the day and - as you point out - she is certainly bred for the job.

Best price now 25-1 with 365 from what I can see.

I'm so reluctant to go back down this road again....but very tempted:boxing:

I’m incredibly stubborn myself but getting tempted.
 
The nature of PtPs is that they cater for stores on their way to racing under rules. As such, a PtP mare is unlikely to be sharp enough for the MNH and most of the successful 2m mares will have come from France with earlier racing experience. Of course, Honeysuckle might have changed that stat if she'd gone in 2019.
