Personally i've never lost any faith on her after the fez last year and firmly believe she wasn't right at either Aintree or Punch and vaguely remember hearing RW and/or WPM/RR saying so as i've eluded to on here many times in the last couple weeks. Although i cannot find any literature to back this up on the world wide web i didn't dream it there is messages sent to a racing friend of mine from last August remembering these post race reviews
|

By:
Well her form before Aintree or Punch aint owt to write home about
|
|
By:
If there is a parallel universe where Limini can be represented as a 162 rated horse I want to live there because them dudes are smoking some real good sh1t
 |
|
By:
Limini has no chance, they'd know themselves by her homework if she was CH standard, apples jade had a freakish season last year, not the same horse this season, I'd be amazed if limini was even placed
|
|
By:
Her cheltenham win last year beating the 5 time raced hurdle maiden Dusky Legend doesnt get me wanting to back her @ 7s for the champion
Saying she was wrong @ Liverpool is rather strange as that looks her best ever performance but they have to put up excuses dont they and some even believe em |
|
By:
I think Limini is a trojan horse from the Mullins/Ricci combination in this race - a mickey taker.
|
|
By:
Will Rashaan be supplemented??????????
Beat Apples Jade /Petit Muchoir and ran a stormer beaten 5 and 1/4 lengths giving 8lbs to Tombstone and Jezki coming out beat @ the weights on that form he should be 12s  |
|
By:
best @ weights
|
|
By:
What a pick Geoff
 |
|
By:
Shinners on ATR just now - Skybet have Limini shorter than Petit Mouchoir.
Now that is crazy. |
|
By:
Indeed, but PM is not trained by Mullins, so not a complete surprise!!
|
|
By:
Complete and utter madness.

The crazy thing is she will get even shorter when a confirmed supplementary with Ruby as intended jock wouldnt be surprised if she goes pre day of the race fav |
|
By:
If so, lay Limini accordingly - she'd be out of her depth running here unless 5/6 principal protagonists are scratched; Mullins had been very forthcoming with the welfare of his sidelined superstars eg Annie Power and Faugheen, and some of his potential Festival runners eg Douvan, Melon and Meri Devie but extremely low key about Yorkhill despite he being 7/4 fav for the JLT.
To be perfectly honest I do not see Limin placed in this race with the above proviso. |

By:
So when Limini dot's up in this years champ hdl under a masterful ride by RW everyone will be instantly crabbing the top 2 mile championship hurdle race as weak as sh!t
 Think i need to give this forum up, either that or people who quite clearly pocket talk and don't give a jot about horses welfare ie calling them machines etc Not saying she will win it, just typing this just in case NO HORSE RACE SHOULD EVER BE PUT IN THE CATAGORY AS WEAK  |
|
By:
I have it on good authority that Limini does not read the forum so her feelings won't get hurt.
|
|
By:
If Limini dots up in this race, fairly and squarely, eg clear leader not falling at the last, I'll be gracious in defeat and shower Limini with the most appropriate accolade (if necessary) - I can assure everyone.
For goodness sake horse racing is mainly about opinions, and is nothing personal; just be bold and put one's head above the parapet to support one's thoughts and be shot at (if necessary) instead of (constantly) going with the flow and/or following the advice of the so-called professional tipsters who feed from the same trough as the bookies. Nail one's colour to the mast until new info suggest a change of tact or stance, I'd say. |

So when Limini dot's up in this years champ hdl under a masterful ride by RW everyone will be instantly crabbing the top 2 mile championship hurdle race as weak as sh!t Cry Dont have to wait for the result to see that STS. Never seen a Champion Hurdle with so many capable of getting a place and because its so average very few capable of winning if any Bit rich accusing others of pocket talk STS as your holding a 20/1 voucher so no financial interest clouding your judgement there then |
|
By:
We now have Moon Racer into 18/1 the worlds gone mad
|
|
By:
18.0 so that even crazier @ 17s
|
|
By:
Actually Geoff, STS is probably the most unbiased of any of us because he's sat on a 20/1 voucher for every horse in every race
 and he'll be going to Aus on the back of the festival, in fact he's recently been singing about ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwvazMc5EfE |

Waltzing Matilda waltzing matilda YOU'LL COME A WALTZING MATILDA WITH MEEEeeeeeee

Thing is people know i'm a good sport on here but it just ruffles my feathers a little bit describing any race as weak cos i understand guessing but possibly more than most on here how hard it is to win a race at the fez. Just to get a horse to the races at their absolute peak fitness not to mention the transporting of these horses etc etc so much can go wrong.
I suppose i can understand from a form reading perspective but i like all i presume on here just love the sport for what it is and have huge respect and admoration for all involved. |

By:
You're a good sport STS, actually, you'll come a waltzing matilda liminiii
|

By:
lol, good sport comment posted exact same time

Yes well life's too short to worry about banter that's aimed at you. Personally i hate this time of year as i'm so poor im living on pot noodles till the races start
and by the Friday i'm looking at what debt's to pay and holiday to book It's a funny old game isn't it? Everyone with differing sizes of pockets, opinions etc. Will be there on the Friday in the betfair enclosure anyways. Will have a walk around in between races well looking forwards to it. I plan on being by the rail during a couple of the races hopefully not too far away from the last or 2nd last where there isn't any crowd so can get a decent photograph etc. |

By:
Matt Chapman keeps telling us PM has no chance whatsoever, that for me is enough to back PM.
Funny though he keeps telling us what a terrible champion hurdle is then tells us brain power is the value but PM who arguably has the best form in the book has no chance. |
|
By:
I have it between the McManus pair with Fehily as a negative on Buveur D'Air. Yanworth surely powers on for the frame at least and looks the e/w bet but I'd like him to be a bit stronger in the market. If there's a star in it its Buveur d'Air obviously.
|
|
By:
I think that Yanworth is probably the most likely winner, but couldn't back him at the price....I'll be waiting for I/R like I do with every race anyhow
|
|
By:
Agree, I don't play I/R but I'm anticipating some pain mid-race for sure.

Regarding Moon Racer
Pipe in weekender " I must warn readers we are thinking seriously about the champion hurdle instead. He is already 8 and it might be wise to give it a go if the field continues to cut up.so we will have a look at the 5 day entries and make a decision then. |
|
By:
looks like Tombstone going for a wobble in the market or just drifting to a more realistic price??
Hcap mark for Coral Cup looks a far better alternative and save oleary a supplementary fee. |
|
By:
Elliott has just said at Betfair preview night that he can 'guarantee he'll be going for the handicap' (County Hurdle)
|
|
By:
yeah elliot kinda said he has a decent mark for the coral ,hinted that he would send him there
|
|
By:
sorry my bad the county
|
|
By:
on the betfair preview for those who missed it nicholls, elliot ,and blake went for yanworth ,yates went for brain power fwiw !
|
|
By:
Looks likely a decision on moon racer is imminent into 15 on here in champ being laid in supreme
|
|
By:
Looks like Moon Racer's taking the easy option - avoiding Melon!

By:
Rather an optimistic move from the Pipes.
