Champion Hurdle 2026

[WandererSkyLight]

So it’s champion Hurdle day

I’m currently working so can’t watch all of day one (nor most of the Cheltenham festival) but I’ll keep tabs on the other races

All you groupies are surely lumping on the 9/2 Golden Ace without 2. She's essentially got one horse to beat and that horse has ground and track concerns.

If i were to have another bet I'd be backing Poniros to finish in the first 4. Around 7/4 for small money on Betfair

Tutti Quanti has run to a rating of 7. I hope this helps the number crunchers.

Golden Ace is a bag of shite.

Golden Ace is a bag of shite.

Life and death to beat Anzadam at Newcastle. She should have been 25/1 again.

 

[Robicheaux]

She did that well ! Shame Alexi fluffed the last. Might've cost him 2nd place that

Brighterdaysahead probably ran her best race ever at Cheltenham, the ground was no bother, but it wasn't Leopardstown, Lossiemouth loves the Cotswold gaff and was on it like a car bonnet and, in truth, daylight was second.

What else?

Oh, yeah, once a ponderous aquatic vehicle with all the speed of an oil tanker, always a ponderous aquatic vehicle with all the speed of an oil tanker....

I’ve never been Lossiemouths biggest fan but I have to say she deserved that today.

Odds on The New Lion to win the BetMGM Cup at the next festival?

Lossiemouth made it look like a walk in the park today, great to see. Could see she had the spark in her today in parade ring and parade to start, she was ready to do her thing. Whereas at Punched town she didn't have ground to her liking nor did she seem herself before the race

Lossie was positively glowing. I mentioned that she was bucking in the video and she looked great in the pre-parade. Fully deserved but Alexei - yeah OK he only managed 4th but he ran a blinder until that last fence mistake or he would have been a fine second. I am thrilled that he ran as well and vindicated my faith in him since I saw him in that charity race with Tom Malone.
