Mares Hurdle 2018

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.
It is hard not to be taken in by how bold you feel about it...

I see she is 12/1 NRNB without Apple's Jade

I refuse to have AJ beaten... but 12/1 seems a nice price to be wrong at, I can sacrifice the 4 pts :highly_amused:

She's very unlikely to run but 2% chance she gets bought 2% chance they want to win the race. It's nrnb and that 12s would be odds on.

I'm sure in the future one of the Irish horse will go over there to take her on. So you might get a chance to see how good she is. Would deffinately be worth a watch.
 
Interesting to read about this horse I had no clue about, seems a superstar. Some formline with your horse from today as well Kev (well done with that one), in Auteuil back in April she stepped up in trip and ‘Saint Calvados set a blistering pace to take her out of her comfort zone. It failed... she won on the bridle’

I don't want to tie money up in a horse I'd never heard of until today, but kudos for making me consider it :highly_amused:

GAME CHANGER.

ALL IN:devilish:

Right, I will have 2 pts 12/1 W/O and get my money back ready for Day Two :D

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


Seems to have disappeared from the betting. Any news?
 
Now there is no way of being proven wrong ....

"No chance Scooby, they're running scared, you're clueless"

:highly_amused: jokes aside, that kind of insight to French reaching is great. Certainly an angle NRNB. Not come off this tone but nothing lost at all!
 
I was reading through this page thinking ‘blimey Scooby really fancies this French mare. 12/1 NRNB on his say so is worth a bet’.

So I was about to back a horse I’d mever heard of. Then scrolled down and saw she wasn’t entered. Would’ve been worth a go.

I’d genuinely never heard of her but I wonder why they’ve never bothered running her over here. I would’ve thought the French still regarded the festival as a massive thing even over there.

I think Apples Jade will be very hard to beat here
However,like most of you I suspect,I have missed the boat on the price and cannot back at them odds
Does anyone think Lets Dance has a chance here ?
Good winner of the mares novice last year
Mullins record with mares is incredible,especially at the festival
Won her comeback race ay Xmas when the stable was not firing on all cylinders
Guaranteed will be primed for the day

I still think 4/5 with Hills any race isn’t a bad price for Apple’s Jade and have been chipping away for the past few weeks, considering she will prob go off at least 4/7 I think on the day, and I also get a boost each bet so just shy of Evs

Let's dance has no chance of beaten apples jade.. bar a fall.

Look at their careers side by side.
As 4yos AJ was superior.
Last year AJ was winning stronger, open grade 1s while LD won novice grade 1s
This year Apple's jade has performed to a higher level on dicey run than LD's one run.

LD isn't a worthwhile each way price ante post either now ....
 
Hoping Gordon Elliott gets a run into AJ before the festival the only time she's looked vulnerable was in her festival prep run last year alarm Punchestown coming off a break. She strips race ready fit after a good blow. I've read quotes that there planning on going straight there which doesn't make sense to me

I know apples jade has much better form than let's dance
However,horses do get injured,fall,rerouted
If I missed the price which I did on this occasion I am just looking for a viable alternative
I missed the price on Douvan last year so I had a few quid each way on special tiara
Never thought I could win really but I will not back any horse at odds on at cheltenham

A horse can still be value at odds on .... however can appreciate if you've got a rule and evens is the cut off you stick to it.

Kayf Grace is the one I like for the places

I still think let's dance might go stayers if she goes for the galmoy hurdle and shapes well to avoid AJ. La bague au roi also likely to go stayers if she wins today. You get your mares allowance and arguably you have a better chance of winning a championship race than the mares. With looking like a win win that your going for the big one rather than avoiding Apple's jade.

Could AJ need further than 2.5m now? She looked beat last season before staying on really well inside the last 200 yards, and lto she needed every yard of 3 miles to beat Supasundae.

She looks very difficult to beat but I just wonder if there is a slight chink in her armor.

It's more down to opposition with me personally. There's nothing there really that should be beating her. I'm going to have to leave this race completely alone personally as I see no value anywhere.
