Mares Hurdle 2020

BTW, for anyone 11/4 Honeysuckle right now

Considering now we know the landscape of the race, i'd be much more interested in a bet. Not sure if it's Honeysuckle though.

I personally still think she has it to prove. Apples and herself will probably want to lead. I wouldnt be surprised to see Killultagh Vic up there just to annoy them. He's lead in the past and stays further and this is probably a pipe opener.
Penhill + Bacardys then pounce late

Fairly confident Honeysuckle wins the race Sunday.
Unless apples jades has her roller skates on again.

Yeah she's been brilliant in her career so far, i just think there will be absolutely no hiding place come Sunday. Competition for the lead, late pouncers etc. Proper test for her.

Right that does look an inviting price, has anyone heard if shes due to run, obviously if shes fit she'll run but wonder if all hasnt gone well?

3 places as well at 1/5 could look a nice play, wouldnt shock me if a few are scared off this year and we are left with less than 8 runners

6 runners now so very happy with the 5/1 and 3 places, really hope they have her at her best
 
Benie picked up minor injury. Nowt serious apparently.

I agree with most of that Scooby, but with Epatante instead. And of course I've backed the shorties too.

Just hoping Epatante can settle, think she'd not be without hope at 33's also.

Cracking run from the girl. Settled well, ran on so well that a further trip wouldn't look a problem, very happy with that.
 
Yep,
good outsider to have on side. and won well off that mark. She could be good

Can't help thinking it's the worst thing that could happen though, for all the followers from last year, as the whirlpool of the sexy Nicky Henderson mare sucks everyone in again.
 
Just added Epatante with Marathon Bet at 25/1

That was not easy to do - what a horrid little website :highly_amused:




In her defense, that's better than any of his sexy mares have ever produced after their novice season isn't it?


Did Apple's Shakira ever do anything?

Hendo did mention she didn't want anything more than 2mile post race when the mares was mentioned..

Plenty of time until then, she looks like she'd be fine at 2 1/2 to me, being realistic shes not going to win a CH. And she'd be near top weight for a county. So I cant think of much JP has for the mares with some sort of legit chance. So we will see.
 
Elimay is going chasing. (Could still run)

Countister unlikely to be good enough (could run)

Dame de compagnie same as countister above.

Never adapt is a lunatic and wont get the trip.

Epatante won well today ( cant particlularly see why she wouldnt run)
 
That puts epatante in perspective
 
Lobos told you you should have slammed it as did Jack
Hope you had something on her?
 
Honeysuckle 4/1 added with Marathon bet.


Way shorter than I'd usually back at this time, but she's clearly waaaay better than loads of good horses.
