Race of the Festival

[Euronymous]

Was it the Champion Hurdle last year, I can't quite remember? Anyway, both novice chasers look well up to scratch and Kauto vs Denman round 3 means this could be close

 

[granger]

It was the champ hurdle I believe

Arkle is a race i'm relishing this year. I have Sizing Europe backed at all sorts of prices.

 

[Guest_]

Arkle for me closely followed by the clash of Punchestowns and Long Run.

I have loved the build up to each Kauto Star and Denman races but both have been pretty unsatisfactory in terms of a clash or living up to the hype imo

Have you bothered covering?

 

[granger]

I'll prob do a bit on Tuesday. I think late money will come for him

[LUKE]

I'm with Granger -have lots of dockets with Sizing Europe written on them.

 

[Guest_]

In a normal year I would be all over Sizing Europe - still think he has an excellent chance but hard to be sure with any number of top class prospects in there.

 

[Euronymous]

I'm not sure there's much value now. I think most of his followers were tucking in back in the Autumn when he was over 20/1.

 

[LUKE]

For what its worth I would have him at 7/2.

 

[Gearoid]

Im going to do a €20 patent tomorrow with Hills - Sizing Europe 13-2 Punchestowns 4-1 and Kyber Kim 9-1.

 

[Euronymous]

Each way? Tis a bold call with Khyber Kim.

 

[Gearoid]

Each way? Tis a bold call with Khyber Kim.

I kind of thought about doing an each way trixie but think a patent is the best option at the prices. Kyber Kim is speculative in fairness, I fancy Punchestowns most of all. Have you any fancy multiples?

 

[Euronymous]

No, i'll be having around a dozen singles and hoping three or four win.

 

[Gearoid]

What would be top bets of your list?

 

[Euronymous]

Sizing Europe
Tranquil Sea
Karabak (without Big Bucks)

 

[granger]

Have you any fancy multiples?

Trixie - SE, Tranquil Sea, Long Run

 

[trackside528]

Trixie ~ Somersby - Punjabi - Schindler's Hunt -

 

[Euronymous]

Is a trixie just an each way patent then - 14 bets?

three doubles and a treble

 

[Sheikh]

I'm thinking about the trio for the Champion Hurdle.
Punjabi
Go Native
Medermit

 

[Grey]

My trio would be Go Native, Starluck and Punjabi

 

[Sheikh]

My trio would be Go Native, Starluck and Punjabi

I've only changed my mind 334,000 times. That's todays trio.
If you tell me starluck will stay at champion hurdle pace than that's good enough for me.

 

[Grey]

I think he probably will. He's finished strongly in races at Cheltenham in October, at Kempton at Christmas and Kempton aw last week.

He's a year older than last year and they all finished slowly in that Triumph Hurdle, even Zaynar.

Not to be pedantic, but Starluck emptied and Mourad came home really well.
