2026 Champion Hurdle

I would tell him to his face (a bit more politely maybe :censored:)
The reason why ?
Because I'd expect him to have self awareness.
I wouldn't expect that of everybody, but I think he knows who he is.
And there is nothing wrong with it. It's just in his character. Which I'd also make clear.

in which case I’ll have the pint that he bought for you rather than him just sending it back to the bar :)

This has to be some sort of sick joke.

The sooner that horse is retired, the better off racing will be

Never seen so much shite publicity of the horse in my life.

The circus surrounding this is ridiculous
But the horse being retired if he’s still capable of running in big races is not what I’d like to see.
I hope he wins well and gets on with a life on the flat, and the media circus calms down……..eventually!!

After this evening see if Nicky can have a word with the BHA and get him a run in this years Derby. Special exception entry.
 
Is this race not overly simple?

If CH hit every hurdle on a 1m 4f hurdle race I'd expect him to beat DLL comfortably. His one issue is removed and he's odds against to beat him and a horse that has a record of 3rd in a class 5 maiden and winning a subsequent one or Tripoli Flyer who isn't within a street of a champion hurdle.

If he just goes out from the front and bosses it he'll win. If it becomes a dash then probably not.
