Its been awhile :LOL: not on here much. Yeah Curragh Tuesday for the majority!

It has. Hope you're well!

Listening out for word Lossie worked the place down and heads to the Champion Hurdle then 😂
 
Still waiting for nrnb refund from PP
Guess they wait until final decs ?
Not looking likley!! Although something in back my mind, last year or year before they played the game and day 2 of confirmation they refunded? But I might have just made that up and being hopeful lol
 
Still guessing what runs and where 5 days out from the festival. It really takes something away from th build up of Cheltenham. Hopefully in the future they set a week out for final declarations

Jade ran in the Mares Hurdle last year so not sure she is much of an indicator re: Lossie

Thought process is pretty simple.

Jade De Grugy has no impact on where Lossiemouth runs at the festival.

I can see the simplicity
I could also see them both running
Other factors make me doubt it though.
Still stuff that can happen to upset plans also.

It's the other way around though isn't it?

Lossie might have an impact on where jade runs. If lossie was going mares hurdle, then jade could go for the chase, given lossie beat her easily last year, and wodhooh is there too now this year.

So if the current thinking is that jade's going for the hurdle, that might be an indicator lossie is going champion, and jade would become the stables number one in the mares. At a guess.

Its a good sign for sure
Even if wodhooh got pulled it’d be a pretty shitty trick to play on jades owner.

I would say it does more so than not.

WPM decides where they run and why waste sending Jade to the mares hurdle just to get beat of Lossie?

She’s been in a chase campaign all season as well. Would say it’s the biggest indicator that Lossie goes champion that we have had, if, it’s true.
 
Been put in an all day training session on Tuesday, 10-5....managed to get out of Wednesday but my first time ever not being on AL for the festival is not going well
Plenty of time for a mystery illness to crop up. Start coughing badly on Monday HF ;)
