The champion hurdle/gold cup double

Would be great if she could emulate the great mare

she certainly has the hallmarks of being a great mare lots of scope, speed and stamina

anyone know where we might be able to get a price on the famous double??

i for one would have a few sheckles

can she do it??

Calm down lads! no doubt she is a good one but there is a long long way to go. Plus if she did win the champion hurdle whats the chances of her going chasing?

No doubt in my mind she will go chasing at some point,seeing her close up she looked a chaser to me anyway.
Next season I reckon, and this season hopefully will go for the Churdle(got nice prices),although if i'm honest she don't hurdle quick enough to win one.

You maybe right but honestly don't think they'd risk her chasing especially if she was champion hurdle class. Then even if she did Gold Cup? we will see but I'm not holding my Whoops

budd - I am in same place with a few nice prices. I am convincing myself that the faster she went the better she hurdled. Reckon a fast run CH with a tough finish up that hill should suit her really well………and maybe add in a bit of soft going and she looks even better.

The other thing is the Champion is looking a hot contest this season but even with the weight she was receving it was a decent performance to beat Zarkander who is no mug! Her hurdling can improve so wouldn't be to concerned about that aspect but just think thoughts of the holy grail double are very premature!

it was a thread started for a bit of fun slower...

how many mares are this good slower?? or even good enough to contest a champion hurdle?? not many i can tell you that for sure

she will get 7lbs in the champ hurdle...she will jump a fence in time and looks like she will stay well so is it inconceivable she would never get the chance to jump a fence... a long poke i know but you know if she wins the champ hurdle everyone will start talking of dawn run and could she emulate her achievements

anyway i am interested in some big odds if anyone knows where we can get some??

anybody know what's going on with Annie Power?

I see she's been taken out of both Woodies DIY hurdle and Ryanair hurdle at Leopardstown.
