She would have walked the champion hurdle and because you are thick she went for the stayers instead. Ha Ha!Pride before a fall CommentRich Ricci has lost none of his trademWPM has always said novices for novices. Can ruin a horse going to the well too soon and miss out on winning good novice races such as Arkle, JLT and RSA and whatever else at Aintree and Punchestown. Cant see him going that route with anything tbh.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30221637/rich-ricci-serves-you-right?post_id=538582313#538582313WPM has always said novices for novices.

The gentler tempo and the fact she will be able to fill up in mid air will help her. It's not like she doesn't stay 3 miles either.Vautourhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30221637/rich-ricci-serves-you-right?post_id=538576161#538576161She could still be a 3 mile horse over fences.

We know she didn't win the race they opted for and we know that the owner kept her over hurdles to have a shot at racing immortality in the champion.
