Does anyone know of the plans for this won?

He impressed me a lot at Southwell the other day, effortlessly scooting through two horses to really stride out and accelerate on the run-in.

Trouble is, Nicky Henderson has such an embarassment of riches in the novice hurdle department that it's hard to know where Bear's Affair is in the pecking order. His bumper form looks excellent though.

Yeah exactly. I had him added to the Supreme Novices's market just out of curiosity at his price and last I looked, the 65's had me tempted. Just wish I knew what his plans were.

Very impressive as you say to go between horses and picked up very well when an inch of rein was let out. Bumper form solid (champion court running again this weekend).  Even tho NJH has an abundance of horses this has to be right up there and i think one more run in Feb then on to Supreme (hopefully).

We get a guide to the form of his last win in a minute with Basford Bob up against Cavite Beta and King Of The Night at Donny.

cavite beta good hurdler, missing out 6 (i think) hurdles played a big part for me, a farce

BIffa - stop looking for value and just back Cue Card Laugh
Report Alvarado January 28, 2011 7:20 PM GMT
why would he want to back cue card at 5-2 whenwe know how good he is no scope for improvment a genuine 150 horse who knows what most on the list i put up could be for all we know BA could be 190 horse

Cue Card has "no scope for improvement"...what a bizarre statement. I'll bear in mind that a horse's ability tops out after 5 runs then Laugh
Report Alvarado January 28, 2011 9:50 PM GMT
im not saying BA will e 190 im just saying nobody knows do they horses who are unbeaten could be anything

we know were we stand with cue card he was beaten fair and square last time hence he is exposed as a genuine 150-155 horses now that may be good enough to win a supreme or most probably wont be who knows
Report R Carver January 28, 2011 10:04 PM GMT
Alvarado - i think its more likely his price will go to 190 - he is currently 150 - terrible drift. Any news?
Report Joist January 29, 2011 2:25 AM GMT
Ignoring the fact that you're retarded enough to think a horse is exposed after 5 runs, a rating of 150-155 is easily a Supreme winning rating when you look at the previous recent winners- Go Native 139, Menorah 147.
Report Alvarado January 29, 2011 3:15 AM GMT
yeah but what are they rated now
go native 161
menorah 164

just proves he wouldnt of won the last 2 runnings u always like to think of a supreme winner to be a champion hurdle winner the following season but IF cue card wins the supreme which he may well do he cant win a champion hurdle cos he cant beat menorah hence he is exposed as being very good not top class
Report Joist January 29, 2011 12:28 PM GMT
He's had 5 runs in his lifetime...He was only a few lengths behind Menorah, why is it so inconceivable to you that a 5 year old with 5 runs in his life can't improve a few lengths?!
Report Alvarado January 29, 2011 12:47 PM GMT
cos menorah went by him like he was a selling plater and idled and was value for 10l and menorah might not even be placed in the champion personally i think he,ll win it
Report Masterminded January 29, 2011 1:07 PM GMT
ffs if the highest rated horse won the champ hurdle or supreme every year then the game would be very easy. stupid argument

Biffa I can absolutely promise you that if Bears Affair runs..... you should back Cue Card [;)]
