Similar to the CH market, there is a "without" AJ market with 365 NRNB

BEnie Des Dieux 3/1
Colin's Sister 9/2
Kayf Grace 6/1
Augusta KAte 8/1
LA Bague Au Roi 10/1
Jer's Girl 10/1
ANyone fancy any of those?
I quite like the look of Jer's Girl at 10/1. Was only 2L behind Apple's Jade earlier this season on 12/11/17 at Navan over 2m4f and Apple's JAde was ridden out to win.
JG got beaten over 3m by the likeable La Basgue Au Roi, but I can see some juice in Jer's Girl at 10/1 w/o the fav....

My taxi driver who took me to Leopardstown on Boxing Day in 2015 tipped up Jer's Girl to me that day - so one I always have an eye on because if nothing else it makes a good story!
I trhink I'm going to take the chance on her at those odds. :encouragement: Injury was only minor from memory??

Apples looks a good thing , probably will win in hack canter. Do like progressive form of Colins Sister as E/W alternative
“You could go to the Stayers, run a great race, and finish third. You could go to the Champion Hurdle, run a great race, and finish third. But guess what; you’d have won the mares hurdle. So what’s the point? I don’t see why people get so excited: there’s a mares programme, a mares race, and we’ll go in that direction,” said O’Leary.
Apple's Jade
Eddie O’Leary welcomed that clarification but stressed that Apple’s Jade would only be kept in the Stayers in case “something goes awry in the mares, like she whips around at the start, which is something that can happen.”

This has always been Apple’s Jades race. No way Elliott or O’Leary would want to give Mullins a free winner which is what they would be doing if they switched her to the Stayers. Absolutely no love lost there.
JUst seen it is 6 weeks she's out for... would leave 3 at best so I've cashed it out.
I'm assuming no chance she will go. Unless iv missed something
De bon coeur who's 16/1 nrnb
Would go of close to fav if she ran here and would have every chance of winning.
I assume someone requested her to be added
I remember a French mare running against quevega and glens melody. I'll have a little look into it.
I remember the trainer entering the stomp in the county hurdle. And has also ran Alex de larredya over here though the latter owned by Simon munir

Worth looking in to, as this race/thread is all over as it stands :highly_amused:
I don't think she will the prize money is not enough. She would cost an astronomical fee to be bought.
but i if she did get an initial entry she would be my biggest bet of the week. Iv seen her there in the betting all year but only just remembered again since nrnb.
Iv been waiting about 3 years for someone to buy blue Dragon and stick him in the champion hurdle.

Is there any collateral form at all?
What would make you so confident?
I know notrhing about French racing, so I am all ears...
She's very very good.
She would be the best young NH horse there is in any land imo.
The only race a British raider came over (bapaume) she fell. But nothing has got near her to date in her 8 wins, And she has taken on the best around her.
I'd love to see her run over here.

I remember that French mare. She was 66/1 on the morning of the race and gave Quevega a scare, finishing 2nd in the end iirc.
Assuming you can't get on 16s NRNB then?
Any idea what she'd go off? Can't imagine she'd shorten DRAMATICALLY.... certainly AJ and a Mullins horse shorter?
I can get on now. But I can't tie up what id put on. will wait for entries as it's very unlikely she will get one. I'd say dramatically but not on entries. Close to fav I'd say. If it was in France 100% she would be fav over Apple's jade.

Would the fact that she’d have to carry 11’5 be of any significance?
Just looked through her races to see if there was anything I could pick a form line and noticed that she’s never carried more than 10’8.
I don't think so but interesting all the same. Prize money is so good over there. I'm not sure if the owners would view it as " prestige" and have any interest
