  • Champion hurdle could be a cracker!
  • Bought my father in law a share in a racing syndicate for his 70th Birthday present, the horse has it's first run tomorrow, it is trained by Paul Nicholls and runs at Ludlow called Miranda, it also has a speculative entry in the Triumph Hurdle so will be interesting to see how tomorrow goes.

    laurina, apples and bvd going to the champion - great race but blows a few of my ante posts as i had laurina going for mares - which imo she wins, benie des deux is now a backable price the mares so have had a go on that.

    1 ive heard a few shouts for the supreme is Fakir d'loudairs joeseph obrien trained 12/1 most places 7/1 on sky as nrnb

    Think Laurina will still go for mares and I’ve heard the same shouts about Fakir too
    Also strong mentions for Paisley Park stayers and for whatever race Krystal Dream turns up for

    O'Leary is a stubborn man and I wish this still stood:

    is ballyward not going RSA route now though?

    If Willie tells me that it's raining, I'll be looking outside. Unusual if he doesn't have a runner I'd think.
    I have it on very good authority that Ballyward will take his place in the National Hunt chase at 4.50pm on the Tuesday of the festival and will be ridden by Patrick Mullins.

    Don't think anyone sends a mare to Galileo hoping to get a Champion Hurdler.

    It's all about hope when it comes to race horse breeding. The old saying is 'breed the best with the best and hope for the best!'.

    Well fancied today according to the market.

    I think the market is dictated by the syndicate all having a flutter first time out, the message from the syndicate itself was should run well, but beware as French imports take a little time to settle in, they believed market value would be 7/2, it is currently 6/4, I thought it would be short just due to everyone having a little go, I would expect it to maybe lengthen when it opens on the course.

    pleased with that, I think she was declared in Dunhallow Catle's race at Taunton originally on Monday, which I think was a stronger race than this but can't beat a win. Thought she looked good, then before the last thought she had blown it, but the leader flattening it helped, think she will come on from that.Father in law is happy though, he absolutely loves horse racing and has never been in a syndicate, had his £40.00 on it so is a happy chappy right now.

    All racing cancelled on Thursday due to equine influenza

  • Very worrying. Hope it doesn't escalate. Certainly don't want a repeat of 2001.

  • This could last months going by previous outbreaks in Australia. Strange decision to race in Thurles today

  • It appears that the horses in question are trained by Donald McCain as the BHA have stated that horses from the affected stable had runners at both Ayr and Ludlow yesterday and I believe that he is the only one that had entries at both.

    I live just down the road from Bank House - no wonder I'm sneezing!
