Seems like no one is interested in State Man V Lossiemouth or Ballyburn in what should be a cracking meeting.

My own take is that Rich Ricci wants to know the time of day to find out just how good his charge is.

If this is the case he's better knowing now than waiting until March to find out she is out of her league or she is a serious contender.

Seems like no one is interested

I reckon a few are still digesting the U.S presidential election, Tan!

Come on guys, the real racing has started, let's get posting.

No disrespect to State Man, but I'd like to see Lossie win.

Especially for my ten to follow.

Ballyburn is indeed a star attraction

PT couldn't gte off State Man could he

The mare won't be all out for tomorrow but interesting that she is intended to run

 

[edgt]

I have a few tickets for Sunday if anyone is interested.
Cannot get there myself alas.
Message me pls if interested.

Very generous Ed

I'm in a far away land but am sure they will find a home

Anythoughts that Lossiemouth is only here for the beer should be shelved immediately. Sge's now fav to win the Champion Hurdle so someone thinks she's as good or better than State Man

 

[granger]

But based on what?

she isn't. not on the exchange at any rate.

 

[jinnyj]

Lossiemouth is out

 

[Truncheon]

They had no intention of running her, only left her in incase something happened to State Man

She won't run in the CH either if State Man stays fit and healthy

 

[granger]

Lossiemouth is out

No great shock

 

[Frankel]

She will.

 

[granger]

As two wise men once said

State man wins the champion hurdle

 

[Truncheon]

She will.

She won't

Mullins wants to win as many races as possible at Cheltenham

Lossie runs in the mares and State Man runs in the CH- he can win both, not one

Bet365 super boost State Man 1/1

 

[Tanlic]

How many racegoers made arrangements to go to the meeting because the expected clash?
Hope they still enjoy their day out which now has a less exciting look about it

 

[viking]

Fairly routine stuff from Ballyburb there. Little more than showing us fences weren’t going to be a problem for him

 

[Tanlic]

Fell asleep and missed it LOL waiting for replay

 

[Tanlic]

Wouldn't be my idea of an Arkle winner if they go 1/1 I would be laying him

 

[granger]

Beginners chase. He done fine.

A lot hopefully under that engine

 

[Frankel]

She won't

She runs

 

[viking]

Well that’s a turn-up.

 

[Frankel]

Is it!

 

[granger]

Great, we will see it again over Christmas hopefully with Lossiemouth off to kempton to take on sir gino

I know BDA is very highly regarded by Elliot but this was a top performance to rally and outbattle SM today. Think race fitness helped with the mare as SM did look a little tubby to me. That said don't take anything away from her - she's very good.
