Horses for Cheltenham 2020

I agree with you about Goodboy Bobby, I followed him in bumpers and did well although he was often at short odds but I think he will develop into a decent chaser
 
Hello,

My apologies as I wasn’t sure the best place to pose this Question and didn’t want to start a new thread either.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books? or Articles on National hunt breeding and progeny. I’ve got very limited knowledge in this area, but i’ve Started to take more of a keen interest in this side of things. I want to know why breeders choose certain Sires and what breeding does well! There seems to be limited information around so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks
 
Fully aware it won’t happen but Laurina v Apples Jade v Benie v Honeysuckle in the Mares Hurdle would be some race
 
Interested to see how Quick Grabim runs today. Does anyone have any info/quotes on where he may be targeted next year?
 
No but that 66/1 for the champion hurdle looks too big

My thoughts exactly KS. If he wins today what price is he? Just wanted to see if anyone had heard if he would stay over hurdles because similarly if he wins today and then goes chasing he might be an Arkle contender.

Klassical Dream really is an impressive animal, I hope they stay over hurdles

That really impressed me and hopefully they keep him over hurdles. I can't imagine why they'd send him over a fence after this season.

I think he's a champion hurdle winner in waiting. 7/1 is fair enough for me. One I'll be chipping away at over the next few months

What happened to Buveur D'air? :p



I won't take much convincing to get fully behind Klassical Dream for the CH over Espoir D'allen.

Will want to soak it all up for a few weeks before I start chipping away at anything though, see what the prices are after the dust settles.

Only a fool won't change his opinion, especially 10 months before the festival:devilish:

Still a big Buveur D'air fan but I think Klassical Dream could be very special.

Like many I was keen to have Klassical Dream on side at some point, but that performance tipped me to backing him although I think I jumped a bit too soon. Had a few points at 5.4/1 Any Race with Hills (they kept giving me additional boosts for some reason) but then heard Willie's comments and wish I'd at least split stakes with the Champion Hurdle at the bigger price ideally with 365. Anyway one I'll be chipping away at over the summer. Btw love the way the horse runs with his head bowed, I've really taken to him
 
He’d O’keefe has shared a picture of Sam Spinner jumping a fence...not one for me given how many top Irish horses will be in play for the RSA
 
Hi all, new member here, signed up before this years Festival after being a long time lurker but finally decided to take the plunge and start posting!

Anyway not exactly under the radar but I was impressed, not for the first time, with Colreevy at Punchestown. I was keen on her for this years Mares Novice but obviously she didn't run. My only concern is whether the trip could be a bit sharp for her but on the new course I think she could grind away from the front and turn the screw between the last two. The other thing nagging me is that with Willie's apparent lack of quality amongst his bumper horses this season whether she would be pitched into one of the open novice hurdles instead. I haven't seen her priced up anywhere as yet but one I'm definitely keeping an eye on especially with some free bets at my disposal.
