Champion Hurdle 2014

Dessie Hughes in today's Weekender Stable Tour,
Our Conor
"I expect him to carry on improving as he came on a lot last spring and we have strong hopes for the rematch, particularly if the ground is a bit better. He acts on soft ground, but it was very soft on Sunday and his best form is on quicker. Also the course at Cheltenham will be more suited to Our Conor, whereas Hurricane Fly is exceptional at Leopardstown. It has certainly teed it up great for Cheltenham and I am quite confident that we can do it. We have trained him for the one big day and fingers crossed he will be spot on."
 
It is, but just as Hurricane Fly is a vastly superior horse to Katchit so MTOY is to most Supreme runners-up (at least from a hurdling standpoint)
 
Even Jose M is getting involved...

""Two horses and a little horse that still needs milk and to learn how to jump. A horse that next season can race," was the Portuguese's assessment of their chances."
