Arkle 2020

I've cracked and added him Jack. Don't need much on at 40/1 and will have the cashout option with PP.

Ok given first race back for 5 months but ....

Not for me
Place claims Arkle perhaps
JLT no
Just my opinion Jack

Of course it is- i think it's you that's questioning our memories Humble. :devilish:

As has already been said, he stopped alarmingly, either not staying or issue. Finished race ok today. They wanted to race him back at 2miles on Saturday.

I haven't even punted him for the race, but i think the general view of powers is wrong that the JLT is his race.

I'm on Bapaume for the Arkle as well at an average of 57.5. didn't see today's race but definitely see him more of an Arkle horse.

Could be a bit of a dark horse for this.
 
Thomas Darby to return to hurdles

Olly Murphy is leaning towards putting the chasing career of Thomas Darby on hold after identifying the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock as a potential target.

Last season's Supreme Novices' Hurdle runner-up has failed to inspire in two starts over fences, suffering short-priced defeats at Warwick and Kempton.
Although plans remain fluid for the six-year-old, the Wilmcote handler has earmarked the Grade Two contest as a potential target in a bid to salvage his season.
Murphy said: "We've had his wind checked and bones scanned and nothing has come to light. Plans are a bit up in the air at the moment, he is back cantering away but he will not been seen until mid to late January.
"If I was forced to make a decision now he would probably go back jumping hurdles and have a look at something like the Champion Hurdle trial or possibly step him up to two and a half miles over hurdles.
"He has never really looked confident jumping a fence and the last day at Kempton he was beaten a long way out - we are deep into the season and I don't want to be winning a beginners' chase in January."

Thanks for the post, I was holding onto my JLT and Arkle bets hoping for him to at least shorten enough for full cash out. Happy to take the small lose on the back of this statement and cashed out.
 
If Laurina goes anywhere at xmas it looks to me like it'll be the 2m1 g1.

Doubt she goes over 2m3 vs samcro and Faugheen.

Could obviously be kept off for mares company, and let Cash Back/RR/Tflyer test Fakir out!

The latter the most likely?

The Fakir camp will be wanting to make hay while the sun shines with the allowance.

Fingers crossed though for the clashes :)

“ fingers crossed for the clashes”
Yeah , hmm , mixed emotions , if there are clashes great to see and obviously increases form lines HOWEVER does that detract from Cheltenham?

Absolutely not... was out until 2am and had work today, I'm in bits still - so easily led astray :highly_amused:






...and no, it doesn't detract from Cheltenham you nugget :p

Get rid of the Tingle Creek and King George so we only see those horses clash in March?

Rematches are what we want to see at Cheltenham ideally :) Confirm or make Champions!
