I think connections mentioned chasing, JLT or RSA then.

Assuming she comes out of the race ok then she will go on to Punchestown next where she will get a chance to show that the performance yesterday was not a reflection of her true ability.

Well she had everything go for her,BD falls,AJ rubbish,and ground ok.
So either something not right with her,or shes simply not good enough at that level of hurdling. Lets face it she had no form at that level,it was all hope. They could give her another chance i guess, but Ruby looked very disappointed after the race.Got the impression they might have thought she was better than she is? Next entry will be interesting,and the performance next will be as well. My take on it fwiw.....she jumps like a staying chaser and thats where she will go next season. |

It will be more interesting to see where Benie des Dieux goes next season. She would surely have won very easily and although I don't think there are any mares around that can compete with the best geldings over hurdles, she is the best of them at the moment.

her price was puzzling because she had beaten trees but she had beaten them easily , espoir d,alen as someone on here said had been winning "egg n spoon" races , yet one was 3/1 the other 20s ,obviously the mullins/walsh factor was also key but a big disparity considering we didnt know how good both were or could be . the media machine had people beleving this was a 3 horse race and the rest were merely bit players making up the numbers . often pays to keep away from all the hype /previews etc that fill ya head with shyte .

My thoughts were exactly what Walsh confirmed, I'm a big fan of hers and wanted her more than any other horse to win, but I was wondering what he had under him from early on, she didn't seem comfortable at the pace even on that ground the worry about the horses jumping came to fruition also.
Had the race been run on the more usual quicker ground those frailties would have been even more emphasized. She is still relatively inexperienced and her jumping can be improved upon, but having to travel quicker throughout a race comfortably seems a problem that would be difficult to remedy. I hope she can still be top class but she couldn't have had things go any better than they did the other day and she simply wasn't up to it. |

A quicker pace in a 2m Champion Hurdle race when she's more of a 20f+ horse (consensus wise) understandably could have exacerbated her frailties, and got her out of her comfort zone badly. Yet, she was trading odds-on in-running post the fall of BD coming to the 3rd last cantering (if memory serves), but found nothing soon after.
She's shortest for the Arkle, and much longer for the Champion Hurdle, JLT or RSA - very peculiar. |

She broke a blood vessel at Leopardstown. All is not lost (yet).

any more news on her.
tia Ronnie. |

Pulled-up again - poor jumping; something badly amiss I believe. I'd be very surprised if she goes to Cheltenham.

Not too late to arrange a covering for this season. Retirement beckons.

These situations are fascinating because twice now this particular horse has run like a drain, so how does the horse disguise this on the gallops, presumably in the morning everything looks fine but on the race course there's nothing there.
The performance is so bad you wonder how it doesn't manifest itself off the track more obviously  |

Another Yorkhill, and from the same stable too. Coincidence? Or was it because I backed it today she ran disinterested?
|

By:
Don't blame yourself imp if anyone's to blame then it's me I nailed her to the floor as soon as I started the thread
 I've gotten to work on Andy Dufresne now, no cheltenham entries |
