Mares Novice Hurdle 2019

Allez dance on a big drift this morning
Bit of money for Galilean,ex Aidan o brien horse
Might just be they priced Allez dance up too short yesterday
 
That will most certainly do from Allez Dance, being off the track for as long as she has.

Jumped and travelled sweetly. Couldn't really ask for more at this stage.

Just waiting on Willie now to shatter the dreams, as per normal!
 
Not much of a market reaction.

Laurina was 16's (possibly bigger in places) after her first win. Not saying she will be as good but market sometimes slow on the non Ricci ones.
 
Double green colours, she has a sexy profile. Surprised she hasn't halved in price tbh.

She has with 365...

I liked her. Wouldn't go over board though.

Comments will be telling.


I'd chance her ew at that nrnb price tbh! Sexy connections worth at least 7lbs haha

True she was available at double figures for a while after limerick as Salsaretta (I think) was thought to be the ‘the one’
 
I covered at 25's each way NRNB.
And backed her today.
But taking into account what Billymag warned about possibly not going to Cheltenham.
And the satisfactory but not spectacular victory against probably below average horses.
Doubt she'll be put on the boat.

Don't sound like he's sending just any old horse over this year does it ?

I'm just waiting for WPM to burst the bubble.

Plenty more to come from her though, whether she ends up at Cheltenham or not.
 
Townend on Allez Dance - "I couldn't have been happier there and she can only improve"
 
Nice performance, pretty much hands and heels from PT.

I have her covered NRNB so no damage if she doesn't make the boat but would be nice if she does. Hopefully Willies says some positive stuff about her, that will probably shorten the price a bit more if so.
 
Mullins said the following on Irishracing.com about Allez Dance - link beloow

“she looked like a nice mare but has had her problems. We’ve run her quite fresh and I wasn’t expecting her to be that good but she obviously has natural ability.

“In France it seemed the more she ran the worse she got, so I said I’d run her fresh and I’m pleasantly surprised to see that she could win a contest like that.

“I hadn’t really thought about it before today but we might give her an entry in the mares novice hurdle at Cheltenham. That’s what she would have been bought for two years ago.”
