Happy with Oscar yesterday mate?

Looked fair enough to me. Do you think Oscar will run on News Years day at Cheltenham?

Yes mate,jumped well found plenty and not stopping at all at the finish.
The runner up is a bit of a rogue i feel,but useful on his day.

Think his next race will be Ffos Las over 2m and then the WH.
And if thats the case we wont know about him staying 3m till the day.
It was great to hear the jockey saying that the WH is the plan,as i was starting to get a tad concerned they may go back to 2m.

The ownwer also said OW would go for the WH when interviewed on Cheltenham radio.

better hope that HF turns up at the festival to take the temptation away.
Report Howdi December 11, 2011 1:58 PM GMT
if HF didnt turn up he'd be fav for champion for me.
Report strontium December 11, 2011 7:32 PM GMT
In any case, imo he's got more chance of beating HF than of beating Big Buck's.
Report buddeliea December 11, 2011 7:48 PM GMT
maybe they know he cannot beat his stable mates over 2m,let alone HF.
personally think If he can still have a turn of foot after 3m hes a major threat to Big Bucks,he certainly has the class to threaten.
Whichever race he ran in its a huge challenge to beat either of those 2 for sure,but if they want to run at the festival it has to be one of those.
Its possible hes stuck between the 2 as his form at 2 and half is top class.
Going for the WH is great for us and adds some excitement and intrigue to the race,well does for me anyway.

Howdi,
you think he might run new years day?
Report Howdi December 12, 2011 6:14 PM GMT
possibility i would have thought - this welsh champion hurdle race will not help his camp[aign.
Report strontium December 12, 2011 6:16 PM GMT
yeah but he's highly likley to run in it given who owns the horse and track.
Report buddeliea December 12, 2011 6:17 PM GMT
thats what i think,but he definitely goes for the Welsh CH.
Maybe he will run again before then,he does seem a horse that takes his races well.Last season he held his form for a long time and ran well at both Chelt and Aintree as well as Ffos Las

If he did run in the CH it would certainly be a headache for Geraghty

Spirit Son, Grandouet or Oscar Whisky - think I'd play rock, paper, scissor to decide.
