If anyone is betting on the Champion Hurdle then really, imo, you should watch the race to see the runs of the horses that finished.
Resner, the form is not worthless when you have a horse that was priced at 4/1 and 7/2 which is no longer running in the race. It is actually very relevant. |

I can see your point Sint, and obviously anyone who wants to watch the race can, and if they feel it necessary to from a form perspective should.
In my view, and apologies as I probably should have made it clear that it was just that, Darlan was about to go and win the race as he pleased. If that had happened I'm not sure that many would be looking to the other two as probable Champion Hurdle winners. With both the other horses likely to improve for the run, for better ground and the Cheltenham course in a lot of ways yesterdays form doesn't really tell us much in my view, aside from we lost the best horse and a potential future champion. |

For those who haven't watched the race - Watch the race to know how Darlan was gonna pi$$ up - pause the race just before the last and shuttle forward about 10 secs to see the closing stages. They didn't focus on the stricken Darlan for too long. It's a sickening fall and nothing to be gained by watching it.

I wanted to watch the race to see ROR as was thinking of him as a back up to my main bet in Zarkandar. But I will not watch it and will form my opinion on the reports on here and race reports.
Betting for me is recreation and if not watching this race means I miss out on a winner then so be it. |
