Champion Hurdle 2020

Buvuer Dai'r looking a doubt, as his hoof has to grow back after the surgery.

Coming back this season could be 'pretty slim'
henderson just said on luck on sunday

make your own minds up.
 
Ruby alluded to their being plenty of improvement in KD so I'm clinging to the hope that he is still a big player in this

P.Power must agree , theyv'e cut K.D back to 3's today on Oddschecker.

Been the same issue with oddschecker and PP for over a month. They keep reverting to old prices which are untrue.

even though he's not definitely ruled out - does anyone think this should go on the out of festival thread ??
 
One word.....Binocular.

As it happens, horses will go quite a long way on adrenaline without feeling pain. This particular horse can't tell us what he felt but you can bet your life that Barry and Nicky will play it up.
 
He ruled Binocular out and he ran, so we can wait until an official statement comes out?

Then again, removed from markets.


and yeah they will play it up I agree :highly_amused:

What do you reckon the chances of laurina reverting are archie?

I think theres a big shout myself. Tempted to go in again @ 33s with cashout.

I know you've asked archie but,
If you think about it.
Willie has always seen her as a chaser, and almost ran her last year under sufference.

and she hasn't started her chasing career badly. She would need to have real problems in her next starts and the race (champion hurdle) completely fall apart I reckon,
Benie would be much more likely, if he loses saldier in particular.
at the moment he'll be happy he has the winner i reckon, so may need to lose a couple of his before then.

your 200+ to one should be fine

Because of the Supreme situation, I've less access to actual information but I get the feeling that Willie would dearly love to win the inaugural Mares Chase in 2021 and that Laurina is being campaigned with that in mind even now. Depending on how Klassical Dream, Saldier, Aramon and Sharjah go, I see Laurina going JLT but wouldn't bet my life on it until after the Dublin Festival.
 
If Envoi Allen wins today and wins nicely, GE will be tempted to come here I think.

Agree, could be 3 festival winners in this....looks like v weak race this year and looking at few longer ones left field. This maybe good shout

Had a bit at 28s while back and was not happy about price then....only 16s plus boost now and only issue is not sure of value left. But if he hoses up looking a world beater, interesting how market responds
 
365 pulled all cash out on bets with Buvuer Dai'r in. The buggers

Naaah he won't make the Samcro mistake again.

Slowly slowly.... win the Ballymore, go chasing.




The amount of money people are going to have lost backing Envoi Allen for the Supreme and CH is unreal :p

I've had a few quid on and will choose to stick or twist nearer the time.

He could be close to favourite if he won impressively today - big if though.

Be ridiculous though if that happens.
