Mares Hurdle 2024

Blimey! Was she even trying?
 
Christ

Thought she might be vulnerable today but I guess I'm wiping the Mares Hurdle off as a watching race as I've not a bean on her
 
How many do they want in the Mares Hurdle? Get her in the Champion FFS.
 
Ricci says Mares this year, ‘a race in France’ and CH next year.
 
Thought Ruby W got it right earlier on ITV. Lossiemouth like all 5 year olds is still learning. Sensible approach by Mullins. No need to get her out pre - Christmas.

She'll be a much stronger horse next year, and as a 6 year old will be able to put it to CH. Follow the Honeysuckle route to the Champion Hurdle. Every chance she'll be in 2 or maybe 3 Champion Hurdles.

She looks up to Champion Hurdle standard already. Get her in there!!

She certainly does but Mullins and Ricci will play the long game. Can't see it happening this year. You backed her for the CH this year?
 
Ref Lossiemouth the key question is will she stay 2m4 or is she all about speed over 2m ? Never been beyond 2m. Love Envoi, Gala Marceau and Ashore Diamond have all won over 2m4. It's not done and dusted in my opinion. But she did look fantastic today. Performance of the day on a great days racing. Followed by Sir Gino, Jade de Grugy and Ashroe Diamond.

To be fair there have been some impressive performances today, we have been spoilt !
