Stayers Hurdle 2020

Mares is an easier race than the stayers regardless of what happens pre festival (apart from injuries of course) imo.

Honey is only potential one to beat in the mares imo.

Stayers you have pp itcf Summerville boy city island and possibly even champ.

She did look brilliant but day 1 grade 1 on the board is Mullins normal way of thinking.

Champ doesn't have an entry mate.

My mistake - he's entered! Very little chance he ends up here though, all eyes on his run in Feb.

Aye if he wins he’s RSA he loses or doesn’t look great I reckon a switch is very possible considering it’s the only 2 entires he has.
 
Ruby says Paisley Park is the best horse in training !!!

What Ruby says on TV and what he actually thinks are probably not always the same thing.



Listening to Ruby's opinion on who the best horse in training is, is so far down the list of interests that I have in this sport :highly_amused:





Before Altior and Cyrname ran, who were AP and Ruby talking up as the best horse in training?

Essteepee I expect !
 
Looks in trouble again but just finds it in the last furlong, don't think anythings getting close
 
Sumerville Boy backers will be pleased.

If The Cap Fits backers won't.


Paisley Park backers have another huge tick in the box!

Lobos 100% gets banned if he continues to ignore my advice about stating opinions as facts.

:highly_amused:

Laughing, but not joking.


To go over WHY..... the post you've just made will invite a number of comments pointing out that you don't KNOW that for 100%..... it's a waste of everybodies time to read...

All you need to do, is state "in my opinion" if you want to make these opinions public, and back up WHY you think it.


This is not the first warning. :rolleyes:

Not in a million years does Benie come here! Ruby said it this morning on the morning line how willie Mullins approaches these sort of debates he just wants to win a race... Doesn’t care about the battle. Same debate with quevega same with vautour.
 
Mullins interview on Thursday showed that he wants Benie to go Mares so no way she comes here. He gave the options saying softer on Tuesday but then Gary said are you favouring the Stayers and he nearly laughed and said eeeehhhhh. Basically he went through the options and then indicated that Mares is his strong prefernence.

Additionally, if Honeysuckle wins Irish Champion she will go Champion Hurdle and if she loses she will be a far easier proposition than PP.

Bookies should really be paying out on PP now! Just hope there is a strong pace at Cheltenham to see PP at his best. Has improved his jumping no end - bombproof.
 
To try and move it on from being pointless.... let's answer the hypothetical... (if you don't think there is ANY chance of it happening, don't get involved)

If Benie Des Dieux and Paisley Park ran in the Stayers Hurdle...

Who would you expect to win (both even money)


I'd actualy side with Benie Des Dieux now I reckon :congratulatory:

I'd argue that as a response to Kev's mild admonishment of Lobos.
Your Million years comment without an IMO added.
Is a million times worse.
You naughty boy.:highly_amused:
 
PP did what BB couldnt do winning back to back at trials day in Cleeve Hurdle :( But won't win 4 in a row World Hurdle/Stayers!! Big Bucks was 11 and coming to the end of his legendary career.

But I underestimated Paisley Park last year, and not this year!! BANKER!
