The 2014 World Hurdle

[granger]

The old ally recast as assassin - Allistar Downs brilliant summary bit there on channel 4

 

[clivex]

no issue with staying imo

nichols last 19 runners have all lost

They are not running badly though

 

[EC1]

They are not running badly though

no..but just not getting heads in front..a few big prices as well

not performing like we know they can though

Wonderful Charm, Irving and Dodging bullets all disappointed a little.

true...normally you would have expected one of those to do the business

 

[clivex]

Dont get that EC. I worry about stable form if they are running crap at short prices not if touched off a big prices.

I think AP will win if settles and stays but too short. The Paddy Power offer makes BB good bet at current price

Only Irving disappointed for me. Didnt run his race. I backed DB (worst bet of week) and he ran to my expectation. Hes a there or thereabouts horse. Same for WC. Nothing negative or stand out about him.

they never come back Clive..he's had his day imo

 

[clivex]

They do sometimes and he's the master trainer for doing so. I also think they are "coming back" more frequently these days. A dated view perhaps?

Im against him in many ways, but backable with that offer

i am dated though Clive..good post on the other thread by the way

 

[EC1]

she stayed..but beaten by a better horse

 

[icebreaker]

Bazza truly one of the all-time great jocks. Not just based on this win, but his performances this week have been fantastic.

he's one hell of a jock..awesome this week

 

[granger]

Winner definitely on the up.

More to come.

 

[clivex]

Dated but true. ! Best horse won and no real staying issues

 

[Hamm]

Delighted, Mullins got exavtly what he deserved,she would have hosed up on Monday. Have to protect the 'legendary' Quevega's achievement...

 

[Harbinger]

How many horses have won an all-aged Grade 1 at the Festival on their *5th* run?

(How many have even tried?)

 

[sunybay]

Good winner

mare running in the wrong race

This will put Mullins back on earth and not trying to be a legend


Annie Power should have won the mares race and who knows what would have happened with UDS in the CH.

 

[granger]

Strange seeing people get delight out of a mare losing a grade 1 narrowly having a good field well behind her.

Winner could be very good

 

[JamesRB]

BB retired

 

[Harbinger]

Bug Bucks understandably retired.

 

[Maxbet]

Must be a track record...EC1 ?

 

[EC1]

to be fair..is a horse that runs so well in a world hurdle actually going to have speed for a CH..i'm not seeing it tbh

 

[clivex]

She wasnt beaten far and possibly by a very exciting horse. No reason why she should not have run

 

[EC1]

Must be a track record...EC1 ?

can't see it on that ground Max..new course slower than old...maybe under the new 3 second quicker timings it may be
