Arkle 2020

Laurina will not be going Arkle. Match up v Samcro in JLT will happen and the girlie will come up trump's.

Thanks willie/ Noel

So she's not going for the racing post chase at christmas then?

You sure?
 
Lobos said:
Maybe, but she will go JLT. You know it as well.

I don't know that at all.
She should win the racing post novice chase and go short for the arkle.

If she doesn't, dont be surprised if she goes back over hurdles, As she can go back chasing any time,

with the soft touch of the mares chase next year, it matters little she's lost her status.

She certainly won't be going back over hurdles and will never run over 2 miles at Cheltenham v Fakir. She would get murdered. JLT is her target and that is where she will end up.

I don't think others are that stupid. Everyone knows how passionate I am with my bets and I don't sway until I have to. I follow my gut and knowledge and stick with it. Move from that and I end up like a lost sheep.

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




...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!

Young boy like you:devilish: , cmon on

In a v conciliatory mood this evening , til I read Lobos :devilish:

Bin the Tingle Creek and keep King George

Rematches , JLT last March supports your argument there
 
If Laurina is going to go JLT then why run over 2 miles at Christmas when there’s a trip that’s more suited to the JLT trip? You know something we don’t ?

Mullins does it all the time...and no, like everyone else on here, it's all educated guesswork.

I think you’ll find it’s this .......... Fakir has a 7lb weight allowance as a 4 year old. This will not be applicable come March so if Laurina finishes anywhere near him they’ll take the chance in the Arkle on better terms. If she gets blown away by him she’ll go JLT so if I was you I’d be hoping she gets smashed by Fakir.

I wouldnt rule it out completely, but i think you are in the minority Lobos and my 'guesswork' would say she is more likely to go for Arkle, signs stirring us in the face! Besides, if Samcro stays up she wont beat him anyway! (my opinion obviously)

Agree with this ...... I’m already counting my cash on Samcro

Major confidence there then....if Samcro stays up? That's a good start. Laurina wins going away. Love her to bits and will excuse her one blip in the Churdle which clearly was not her running.

Without getting in to a big debate. Just out of interest.

In your opinion, What has she achieved to think that's not her running in a champion hurdle?
