Why cos they don't exist ?
|

By:
Be such a waste if Faugheen goes for the World Hurdle. If Vautour isn't making into a chaser then surely aim the both at the Champion Hurdle originally. One could be injured etc then they wouldn't have a runner in at all otherwise

Indeed, hopefully common sense prevails!

"If Vautour isn't making into a chaser then surely aim the both at the Champion Hurdle originally"
What, and expect Ruby to have to decide between the two? What a ridiculous notion. Rich "Blank Check" Ricci has given WPM/Ruby free rein and they'll exploit this as much as they can even if it means running Faugheen in the WH. Bring back the real NH owners who's ultimate goal is to win the prestigous races at Cheltenham i.e. CC, CH and GC. F Ricci and his "i just want to win any race at Cheltenham" nonsense. Go buy handicappers then you ****. Rant over!!!!! |

If Vautour stays hurdling I'd rather see Faugheen go chasing than go the World Hurdle route.
|
|
By:
If you cant work out the FAUGHEEN is a 2 mile hurdler, and VAUTOUR may stay over hurdles to, then man up and go for Champion Hurdle just like JP MCManus would. KIV he had My Tent or Yours and Jezki both going for CH last year, and no-one thought it anything other than sensible.
This Mullins-Ricci stupidity is getting ludicrous, SELL ONE TO JP and lets see a proper Championship race. |

By:
I wouldn't see the point in keeping two future chasers over hurdles if you owned both. Why not let one get on with things over the larger obstacles and have a go at the Champion Hurdle with the other.

When seeing faugheen behind the parade ring after it won at Cheltenham it did not look like a chaser to me !

CHAMPION HURDLE favourite Faugheen has been pencilled in to make his eagerly anticipated return to action in Saturday's Grade 2 Coral Hurdle at Ascot.
Boasting an unbeaten record, Faugheen justified favouritism in last season's Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham but it was his 12-length obliteration of Grade 1 rivals at Punchestown in April that propelled him to the head on the Stan James Champion Hurdle Market. Trainer Willie Mullins and owners Rich and Susannah Ricci will be bidding for back-to-back wins in the 2m3½ event after crack mare Annie Power handed out a five-length drumming to Zarkandar last year. "I'll go through the entries for the Ascot race before making a final decision but the intention is to run Faugheen on Saturday," said Mullins. "It looks a nice race in which to start off his season." Faugheen's entry provides a timely boost to the race and its sponsors, who were angered with the announcement in September that Haydock was to run a new £100,000 class two weight-for-age race over two miles on the same afternoon. Among Fugheen's potential rivals are Champion Hurdle seventh Melodic Rendezvous and exciting four-year-old filly Aurore D'estruval, who turned her last race at Wetherby into a procession at the start of the month. Also among 11 five-day entries are Cheltenham Festival winner Lac Fontana, who followed up his win in the County Hurdle with Grade 1 success at Aintree. Nicky Henderson could run Blue Fashion, while Gordon Elliott has Coral Cup third Bayan engaged. Coral Hurdle betting Paddy Power: 4-9 Faugheen,5 MelodicRendezvous,6 LacFontana,7 BlueFashion,12 AuroreD'Estrival,16 Bayan, 20 Hint Of Mint, 25 Ballyglasheen, 33 First Avenue, 66 Fair Dilemma, 200 Houseparty |

Boyles go 4-1 he wins tomorrow and the Champion.

By:
Hardly a massive carrot that. Welchers.
|
|
By:
Both nervous and excited to see the machine back in action today!
|
|
By:
It will look ok when he hoses up today though Sint!
|
|
By:
4/1 will never look ok in my eyes CCM. He's going to have another 3 or 4 races after today before March!
|
|
By:
People knock TNO's jumping but Faugheen aint much better, if at all imo.
|
|
By:
Slow pace here tho..
|
|
By:
Can't be having him over 2m on Good personally. He's like Oscar Whiskey in regards the trip, caught between 2m and 3m for his best distance.
|
|
By:
One thing noticeable today was that although they crawled, he seems to have learned to settle much better.
|
|
By:
For all the prep runs he will have between now and march, the one big question mark against him will only be answered on the day itself, how much ground will he lose and how will it affect him if and when he whacks one going that much quicker.
|
|
By:
not like oscar whiskey at all imo. two miles absolutely fine.
|
|
By:
based on what Wicket? His novice run at Pumchestown?
