Road to the 2013 World Hurdle

Quevega will eat him alive

Ten inch nail

Quevega has already seen a good view of Solwhit's rear-end. She'll be up against a proper horse - not hammering mares and the likes of Mourad.

Twelve-inch-nail

We will duel in a few weeks Mr Grasshopper

 

[Grasshopper]

I personally consider the gloves to be off already.

Quevega has no chance

Quevega has no chance

How is that

 

[Bar the Bull]

When was her last Grade1 standard performance?

 

[granger]

Last April at Punchestown.

on that occasion the allowance was less ..and Q is now a 10lb better horse

And.. I cannot believe that Solwhit is the same horse as then. Also the chance that he bounces

Will monksland be back or is he out for the season?and by the way hae would have hacked up last thursday aswel.

 

[granger]

Celestial Halo should travel over too and hold up the WH form

 

[fonz]

why is it they have never sent big bucks over for a showdown in the last 3 years?

Aintree usually falls nicely into their calendar and WM never too keen to send the queen to Liverpool.

And oh ya. Ruby... Ruby... Ruby.....rubyyyyyy

 

[fonz]

aah of course that all important detail escaped me just then!!bb would probabley break his heart like evryone else though.

 

[fonz]

*her heart

Big Buck's would have won on the bridle this year . Look at how far behind him Reve di Sivola was in November . A great shame . If he comes back and wins next year the roof will come off

Punchestown would be either his 4th or 5th run back, granger - if he was going to bounce, it would have happened before now.

 

[granger]

Tethered along until Cheltenham though.

At his peak for Cheltenham and remains to be seen what effect going 3 miles will have had on him.

I really like Solwhit as a horse but I think Quevega will have his number at this stage.

See - you're confused already. Get on-board.

 

[granger]

Ha

[granger]
