To win TODAY and at the Festival

Faugheen KG / GC would be great

Just because it would be amazing to see him in the KG as much as anything

If he won a King George they might retire him on the spot!

He's a ridiculous horse. Would he have whipped you in a CH both at your peak though HF?
 
In a CH I think he beats Hurricane Fly

A Morgiana / Irish Champion Hurdle would be tighter. I could sit here and blame Ruby for his defeat to Rock on Ruby and I’d have a valid point, but I think it’s unquestionable they Fly was better on home turf where as Faugheen tore up Cheltenham.

I get the feeling that if Mullins was to send Faugheen over for the King George it would only be because he has better chance/horses for Irelands Christmas races, Faugheen is almost impossible to place, they even ran him in a Stayers Hurdle because there was nowhere else for him to go before embarking on the latest chasing campaign in racing history...

No disagreement from me with any of that. :encouragement:

The King George does make a lot of sense for him though? More-so than any of the Irish tracks around that time?


Bang him and Saldier over :applause:
 
KG is a classic step from Marsh to GC, see Vautour.

Plus he’s won at Kempton before and won over 3m. Massively reaching here just because I’d love to see it on a personal level.

Yeah it'd be absolutely magnificent to see.


The 'retire-them' brigade are quiet... thankfully.

I'd love to get that 'Any Race' in case he ends up not in the RSA (which would be my best guess).

I don't think we'll get such a generous price though. Tomorrow is no forgone conclusion.

Agree Kev- my main interest here is getting a solid price about any race as he was also handy enough at middle distance last season.

Also 16/1 for today and any race

Hmm, I do want the any race but I can't even see him quoted for the Marsh atm, maybe the RSA is better
 
It’s the NHC that’s making me consider any race over RSA specifically. Already got both covered and the prices today aren’t massively tempting me to go in again (that’s not to say I won’t :highly_amused: )

Reactions: Saxon Warrior and Ballyfitz
The Lisnegar Oscar and Delta Work prices are tempting me I have to admit. The Samcro and Easy Game price difference is interesting given their respective prices tomorrow.
 
When did Easy Game get cut? 33s alone was available not so long ago, even after It won recently.

I like Delta Work and have it in a few Yankees at 25s, 40s would be nice and I'm hoping he can win tomorrow but wasnt great in the race last year! So might just let that one go by...

Interestingly the majority of the others, prices are what we could have got or even shorter. I know we were a bit trigger happy with some over lockdown but nothing really appeals to me as either have it at bigger or being stubborn as know had chance to back it not so long ago.

Bar maybe Samcro the 16s if ever was any was snapped up pretty quickly, was at the track last year and cruised round, but definitely stiffer competition in this race. See how Gordys arsenal gets on today first!
