Has already won over hurdles so will not be a novice next season so id imagine they would want to use her this year likely in the triumph if good enough.

Won in July this year so isn't that classed as this season? If so she can still run in the Novice races.

What I mean is yes this year shes still a novice but she wont be a novice the year after as shes already won so it was in regards this festival coming to soon if they want to run her in novice or juvenile hurdles races then theyll have to take the chance this season for example in the triumph as next year she wont be eligible for any on the novice or juvenile hurdle races.
 
Ruby on Mullins best chance Cheltenham 2020 'BDD - she'll take some whacking in the mares hurdle'
 
Does anyone know what the plan for Kalashnikov is this season?? I’ve not read much about since he won at Aintree?? I read that Summerville Boy was schooling well over fences. Interesting to see if both can progress this season. I know many of you don’t rate the form of the 2018 SNH but I still think there are some big races to be won with both of these horses.

I'd imagine they might have a crack at the Bet Victor with Kalashnikov but there are plenty of options available to him.
 
That Ruby RTV question thing was painful. They need to format it better, he was answering the same questions about the "stars" over and over. Get questions in beforehand, weed out the repeated questions and do the live stream.

RTV knew exactly what they were doing. Ruby is never going to be overly free with information and the reason they conduct a Q&A in the middle of the day on Facebook is because it gives them good press and he's asked a bunch of questions by amateurs that don't really probe for information.
 
There is no real information to give in October. Most of the winter horses are still two or three weeks away from a gallop and they all look 'grand' while they're cantering.
 
There's plenty more than he could've been asked i think. Some of the winter horses from last year that didn't make the track etc could've been probed/asked more. Rather than asking about 5 times about Altior. It's not even just about finding out "info" it's the repeated questions, and the ones that don't even resemble English that he was having to read out + answer.

Should have someone doing all that for him in advance...
 
I see the theres some stable tours on ATH (Hobbs,Skelton,King,de Bromhead)
