Mares Hurdle 2019

[Kevloaf]

I took the 3/1 with 365
Cashout no brainer.

2/1 now - they were a bit slow on the uptake then!

 

[Innoko]

Wow.

I imagine when NRNB comes out we can all jsut have the Buveur D'air, Apple's Jade double on, and be done with it

Like last year :highly_amused:

Cashout profits a fair wack too already. But I'll let her run. Touch wood.

*******
It was, they've adjusted it. Did tempt me.

Tried to get on for stayers with B365 - but she was greyed out:grumpy:.
Think she'd have a better chance in that as Willie unlikely to send any of his mares to the stayers, and penhill will be vulnerable this year as they surely won't allow a steady gallop for him for third year in a row.
I know Gordon will say the usual. She'll go to the mares stuff.
But he may be persudaded, as he fucked up with her last year in second half of season and could have won an irish champion with her. Which he's admitted too.

Brilliant performance

Wow ... anyone just seen the interview to o’leary On at the races after the race ?

Just went in on the 3/1 as well. Shocked she was that price.

Have to say I lost a little faith with Apple's Jade after the end of last season. She was my biggest fancy of the entire week, thought she was unbeatable. Even after Cheltenham I thought she'd turn the tables round with Benie des Dieux. BdD emphatically beat her again though and I questioned and wondered how she could reverse the form going into this season.

My word she has stepped up to another level this year.

Today shows the level Apple's Jade can get too. As good as Benie was in the Mares races she couldn't have done what AJ did there. And AJ has been doing this throughout her career,

8 Grade Ones (including 2 after her juvenile season which is incredibly hard to do)
She's faced the boys in 11 races - 12122111111

I lost faith in Apple's Jade but i'm well and truly back onboard now!

Superstar

No. What did he say?

 

[Kevloaf]

Like last year :highly_amused:

E/W 19/1 the double.... landed nicely


I needed Apple's Jade to win me over again, that was it.

I'd back her against Benie Des Dieux or Laurina over 2m4f, one of them would need to put in a RIDICULOUS performance now for me to change my mind.

Why don’t you run her in the CH?
You go for the race you can win
But nobody wants to see that
I don’t care, she’ll probably go mares

 

[thistlecracker]

Also talking about Ge being a smaller trainer, mentioned again about Millie Mullins arguements they had over fees and implied if they sorted the price then easily could see him switching back. GE was standing right next to him, also made a few digs at him being the one to blame for not getting apples right last year

Nothing surprising in that at all.... never changed has it.

I think you've missed O'Leary's sense of humour there Thistlecracker

Was very tongue-in-cheek!

They've openly said they have no issue with Willie and if he lowered his training fee's he'd have horses with them again...

Don't read anything in to it

Apples Jade v Laurina in the mares what racing fan wouldnt like to see that match up.

Me. Gordon and michael/ eddie oleary.

I wouldnt be overly scared of her. But An easy a race as possible for AJ will do me.

Buy you do agree the mares race is the right race for Laurina, must have a better chance of beating Apples Jade as opposed to Buveir.

I don't think we know whether she'd have a better chance against BVD over 2m than Apple's Jade over 2m4f yet to be honest.

They're both superb at their trip, so whichever trip suits her best will tell us?

 

[Old Vic]

Ted Walsh very keen for Apples Jade not to run in the Mares - I wonder why

Saying samcro would be a nice pace maker for her. Wonder who that would suit.
