hurricane fly

Oh please not again [:(]

tell me about it heard it from a man in the know hopefully its just a cut

I'll be sick if he doesn't get to Cheltenham this year!

LTO, the horse just about beat Solwhit on going that was far too quick for Solwhit, a horse who is easily a stone better on going with "give" - but even then is still 20lb behind Binocular.
Solwhit confirmed the Champion Hurdle form with Medermit at Punchestown, yet in 3rd was an OR140 rated handicapper.

There was a novice hurdle won on the same card over C&D with the winner also carrying 11st 12lb in a time just 2.60 secs slower (about 10 lengths), yet the winner of that race was given an RPR rating of just 146. That suggests Hurricane Fly should have been given a rating of OR156 max (in line with his speed rating of 153), but was actually awarded RPR164.

I would rate the horse about 152.

You forgot the mention on his first start for five months! [:)]

tell me thats not true - would love to see him with a clear run at the season

I would have imagined that there would have been a drift by now, if there was any serious injury setback...[:x]

Is the horse made of glass please?

No, the horse is not made of glass FFT, it's a rather silly thing to think. But that would be amazing if we could though make a horse out of glass that could win grade 1's

Had more injuries than Fernando Torres though [:o]

Really? I didn't know that, is that why my antepost bets for the past two years didn't come in? I thought he RR or RO both times while I was deciding whether I could tie my shoe laces fast enough before the off.

On closer inspection they were loafers

The intention was not to anger you CV

Hope he stays fit and well, top horse on his day no doubt

I'm messing with ya FFT, you can't anger me mate. I need to include smilies, more smilies.

Hope he's fit for Chelts, I am hoping for 3rd time lucky, ap voucher from prior to that magical day at Punchestown.

We need Bino vs Fly as Denman vs Kauto has run it's course.

totally agree with wayward lad
think the fly is 10lb below champion hurdle class

you're going to be dissapointed when Peddlers Cross has an 8 length lead over the last and isn't stopping CV.

I appreciate your points on what he has acheived, yes he has to find a bit - however it is a sign of Mullins as a trainer (and the horse) that he has got him to win what he has.  I think of all the contenders to Bino's crown this is the one that has the potential to improve and give him a rattle

Your second post Quevega and you start this thread. I hope nobody gave you the price you were looking for. Quite a few of these threads started by posters with low post counts.

Thats why this forum has gone down the toilet year on year Graeme

There's a poster who's posted 20 times or so and said McCoy said Get Me Out Of Here jumped like a stag, even though there's an article earlier on the thread that says he didn't school well

Do they think the layers who post on here a morons who will react to people who post unfounded "news" in here? Honestly? Stop wasting time.

He did not even work this morning and is only cantering anyway.

Had more injuries than Fernando Torres though Surprised

the horse?

Temlett, when should we expect to see Sivota out again? And how's Mikael D'Haguenet?

Whether injured or not, you can't see this horse having any more than 1/2 runs before Cheltenham. No doubt he'll come good at Punchestown though.

I'd take Solwhit over Hurricane Fly in big races in Ireland any day, prior to the Punchestown Festival.

I have no information on either horse COM.

I think a half fit Hurricane Fly proved who was the better horse at Punchestown with regards Solwhit.

half fit come on now !!!!

Definitely shaped as though he needed the run. Cantered all over him but lacked the finishing kick we all know he has, Solwhit not even in the same class in my opinion.

I agree with Howdi and Duke - came there cruising, took him a while to wind up but in the last 50 yards you can visibly see him quickening and is pulling away.  Would love to see Mullins get a clear run at the season with him - he could really threaten Bino i think.
Anyway Temlett - whatever happened to you?

Hf if fit can trouble Binocular,and i could give Go Native another chance.P cross is an interesting one that could figure with expected improvement.Dont see any other horse that can win the CH nextmarch.

just goes to show ye exactly how highly mullins rates him when he had him entered in the irish champion stakes at leopardstown last season

Something amiss here?? - has drifted slightly in the last 10 hours

this fly is def drifting last day or so
