County Hurdle 2018

Almost feel obliged to back Duca De Thaix for Gigginstown/Elliott/Kennedy now.

VERY happy to see money for Flying Tiger - fingers crossed!

looking at mohaayed for the skelton's, who love a handicap, 33/1 nrnb currently, ran in this race last season finishing a running on 7th, and was slightly hampered 2 from home.

Has been tried pretty highly over winter, latest finishing within 6 lengths of buveur d'air in the christmas hurdle, and before that just 1/2 a length to the extremely game and consistent mare, irish roe.

Don't really have many other fancies just yet, and this one at a nice price is worth a bet for me.

Think Sandsend was a bit unlucky going well before it broke down... Sad but I think that horse will be put down :(

Well done who ever picked that one...
 
Chesterfield at 33/1 sneaking in to 3th as well.

I thought he was 5th :)
 
Ground on the hurdles track appears easily the worst of the four days.

I backed him (Mohayyed) in this race last year as Hugh Taylor (ATR) put him up as a 2 pointer. I know HT is more of a flat expert but I always back his 2 pointers. Mohayyed ran a cracking race in this last year and if he had pinged the last would likley have finished in the places. Incidentally I recall a HT 2 pointer on Next Sensation for the Grand Annual in 2014. Went off a well supported 7/1 finishing 4th, came back the next year (when I didn't back him of course) and won the same race at 16s, which ties in with one of Jono's stats. Anyway won't be making the same mistake with Mohayyed if he turns up here.

Note to self: if you say you won't make the same mistake twice ... don't :) Fully intended having a good bet on him until the rain came, was under the impression he needed decent ground.

Yeah I came on to say how thrilled I was with my decision and then remembered you'd gone the other way and didn't want to rub salt in the wounds.

Completely agree though, that is betting sometimes.

For me, Ivanovic Gorbatov AND Mohaayed ground had gone against them, could have cashed both out.... could have left both.... one won, the other was pulled up and hated the ground... swings and roundabouts isn't it!
 
Well done on this one - I looked at the posts and hovered over the winner but didn’t take the plunge.
