Stayers Hurdle 2019

[ComplyOrDie]

Elliott has said Sutton Place will run in the Hatton's Grace this weekend. Ground is an issue with the horse but they were willing to run him at Punchestown in April 2017 on good to yielding ground and any type of soft in the ground in the Spring and I think they'll take their chance.

I can't help but feel there's still a huge race in him at some point in his career if he stays sound. Rated 160 after just 4 runs over hurdles as a 6 year old with the most noticeable beating of Supasundae twice giving him weight. Something went amiss in that Punchestown race but he was well fancied at 4/1 2nd fav.

Chasing appears to be put on hold this season. He didn't look a natural over fences but even then he beat Kemboy on his chase debut and went of 11/4 joint fav in the hottest Flogas Novice Chase for years.

25/1 with bet365. Seems a bet to nothing with the cash out?

Wonder if they'd drop him back in trip. CH tilt?

They tried him in the Punchestown Stayers Hurdle in April 17 and has raced at 2m5f both times since so I can't imagine they would.

It isn't like Barry is desperate for a ride in the CH either. He's on the two time reigning Champion right now...


On the other hand, he needs to find one better than Unowhatimeanharry for the Stayers?

Sam Spinner out on Friday

Would hope for a win but not expecting fireworks as the others have a race under their belt

 

[The Don]

Gonna throw this out their..... Samcro - travels like a dream but doesn’t have a change of gears and finds little off the bridle. A grinder not a speedster..... assuming Newcastle is too sharp for him I personally think this should be his target

Just went to top up on the 36/1 Sam Spinner placed a few weeks ago (I've got him down as the winner today), and he's now best priced 20/1. What happened there!

 

[Hurricane fly]

He was really overpriced at 33/1, 20s is about right and I’d imagine he’ll be into 14/1 when he wins today

Penhill can go back to sleep till March

Haha yeah, but even so, what a run by the old boy!

 

[bobbyvalentino]

Glad I couldn't get a price. What a woeful division.

 

[Quevega]

Momella was looking interesting.

 

[Middle_Of_March]

Every race like this shows what a poor division this is.

Thistlecrack surely goes close if he jumps poorly again in the KG.

Faugheen must have a shout too.

They've both got no chance IMO. Too old.

Step forward... If The Cap Fits :highly_amused:

 

[mayo]

is Yanworth favourite yet

 

[Quevega]

Like I said earlier, Momella was looking like making a decent fist of it today before crumpling. Obviously one that Skelton lost to Fry.
Another I like as a second season novice and also a mare is Roksana. chases home Santini at aintree and looked better horse every time she stepped up in trip.
Anyone any news on this horse ??,
I assume it's still with Skelton.

Anyone think Champ will end up here? Its a division that looks extremely light and JP has plenty of novices to throw at the ballymore. Might be one that heads to cheltenham new years day

No chance.
Add him to the exchange if you fancy him.

Mentioned it on Ballymore thread, not sure he'd run new years day though.

 

[TC2]

relkeel would be an option - same route as More of That. Didnt look like he had a hard race yesterday. Will keep an eye on entries, before taking a flyer :encouragement:

It wouldn’t be the worst idea ever given what they did with More Of That. Champ actually has more experience than More Of That did the year he went on to win the Stayers.
