The French Champion Hurdle

[Mumuqa]

Thought Nicholls said a few years back that he wouldn't entertain running his horses on the attritional ground served up by Auteuil on a regular basis. Obviously changed his tune.

Thanks guys and well done Suny.

Great to see the horse show what he can do - talk of NDB sending him to the World Hurdle next year but that will be a different test entirely, important that he follows up in the Automne in November first.

It would be great to see him back from his tendon injury in machine form !

The D'Automne is a great race.....Caesar's Palace and my old fave Prince Oui Oui in opposition to Gemix, make it a very compelling event.

Don't tell me Reve de Sivola won. Just don't.

Wow. Wonder if they went IR on Betfair.

One hundred and sixty six thousand euro to the winner, well done indeed to Nick Williams.

 

[Grasshopper]

Good on him for having the sense. The race was worth about five times as much as the Graded 3m hurdle at Wetherby.

Don't tell me Reve de Sivola won. Just don't.

36/1 -I feel your pain.

 

[Euronymous]

No frickin way.

shades of celestial halo eh Euro?

best miss a winner than back a loser though

I only considered backing him for like five seconds. Couldn't see past Gemix.

Missing Trading Leather in the Irish Derby because I was hungover in Benidorm hurt a lot more.
