Has beaten nothing but handicappers (with the exception of Peddlers who was found to be off) and has only won on flat tracks. Has a large number of significant trends to overcome and has found nothing off the bridle whenever he's been asked - and he certainly will be asked a week tomorrow. No wonder the bookies are taking turns to take him on. Who will be next?! Horses Hurricane Fly has beaten that have won Grade1 races Solwhit x6, 1000 stars x2, Binocular x4, Unnacompanied x2, Oscars Well x2, Oscar Whiskey x1, Menorah x1, Peddlers x2, Dunguib x2, Kyber Kim x1 ... and probably more but thats enough to make the point Won't even go into the Bridle argument, he finds plenty - idels in front. Where did he win his champion hurdle last year? Which flat track?  |

Sorry, the post related to Sprinter Sacre - was reading the thread about the 5/4 on offer and forgot I'd switched threads.
My most sincere apologies to all involved  |

5-4 gone ages ago especially now as peddlers doesnt run! had nice bet at 2's today so can lay bet off and still have free bet at evens! cant lose! think he'll romp though!

lol I knew that was what happened
Sprinter is facking nailed on now though what trend has he got to overcome then? |
|
By:
Actually surprised no-one picked up on that from my arguments, usually a sharp bunch on here.
Happens to the best of us after a long day at work. |

serioiusly glossy what trends has sacre got to overcome?>
|
|
By:
OK fair enough then - i retract my mug comment in that case!
I thought you were knocking a proven Grade 1 horse ... |
|
By:
I thought you'd realise what it was judo.
 I think we spoke briefly about it last night. The favourites trend is one but the more significant stat relates to the hurdles rating of the Arkle winning profile. He has a few in front of him in that respect. |

pfft hardly gonna stop him is it? and I totally ignore betting market trends so you can forget that

hills offer went bout 9 hours ago! the ship has sailed!

I see Cue Card running a very aggressive race to try and catch SS at it coming up the hill. The increased pace helps Menorah and he jumps better than ever. They come up the hill with Cue Card just in front but then fades quickly. SS is level but off the bridle and finds very little. Menorah stays on in the last furlong and wins by a couple of lengths.

Paddy, this convo was meant to be happening on the thread dedicated to that offer! I realise it's not longer available!
|
|
By:
haha menorah have you seen his jumping sure the pace cue card gona go if he misses 1 he wont get away with it! no chance
|
|
By:
Yes I've seen his jumping thanks. There's a school of thought that feel the faster pace and bigger field may actually improve it though. Less time to think and ponder his fences - it happens. That coupled with the time spent with Yogi could definitely improve him. It's a horse that does well at Cheltenham, has genuine 2m speed comes up the hill and should be written off at your peril.
|

By:
no peril whatsoever, won't see which way the monster went

I guess we'll see in not too long now! Anyway, that's all I have to say on this HF thread.
Apologies to the OP for accidently derailing the thread! |
