CHAMPAGNE FEVER naas tomoro surprised to see it trading at 1.35

just beaten by Jezki last time, he is atop class beast who will probably win the Neptune. 1.35 looks right to me

Zuska franked the form on the last day of the Leopardstown festival,think that 1.35 will be long gone by tomorrow.

think rule the world and minsk both have chances to upset the fav..........he is a worthy fav but its the price i disagree with

think jezki improved for the better ground and zurka won a mares only race she was fully entitled to win.......

Will be taking him on with Rule the World. An under rated horse imho

think jezki improved for the better ground

Jezki has been impressive on bad ground, actually rated above 3lb higher than CA...

There is really nothing in the field that should trouble CA here.

*C/Fever

koi......we all know CF has an outstanding chance but 1.35 imo is a dreadfull price and both trainer and jockey said jezki enjoyed the better ground....think the time was about 12s above standard....every thing is about price and i think CF s price is too short

Price maybe too short...but cant see it beat..

A race to watch..no need to get involved.

A better odds on shot (backable) is     MARITO in the 1.05

jumped well on its debut & the one that will be suited best to the 2m with ground no problem,

MOUNT BENBULBEN & JENARI need farther, & with both, the jumping leaves a lot to be desired....neither of them are naturals...just cant see then having the pace to trouble Marito & can see them readily outpaced at the business end...if they are still on their feet.

koi.........if you think it cant get beat 1.35 is a gift ........you should sell your house car and sling it all on him...i would if i thought it couldnt lose

He never said cant get beat he said cant see it beat,I also agree with him about Marito.

portman...as you know there are no certainties...thats why its called gambling

but he cant see it getting beat

Just because I cant see it getting beat doesnt mean it cant/wont be beat, thats just my opinion...i have been known to be wrong before....

as for putting "the lot" on a horse race....well..

koi........no only winding you up......myself i dont bet below 2\1.......ive fancied horse below that and its hard not to bet them when you think they should win but she have got to stick to  your guns

Naas - January 2013- Cert
Cheltenham - March- 2013- Sun Alliance Winner
Cheltenham - March 2014 -RSA Chase Winner
Cheltenham - March 2015 - Gold Cup Winner

NAP!

smh...........now youre just being silly

I dont really rate CF but respect him, he looks rather one paced and doesnt look a natural over hurdles.

He is open to improvement and the opposition tomorrow isnt much.

Neptune winner 2013 and will win tommorow like 1/10 shot

Beat Jezki over the minimum trip. Would have been a different story at tomorrow's 2m4f. Not sure there are any better novices over this distance than CF.

before he has even run over it glossy, that is quite some statement.

I would think Coneygree and Taquin Du Seuil are better prospects at the moment, and they are only 2 i can quickly bring up.

if you want a proper bet tomorrow back Uncle Tom Cobley in the 2 mile handicap chase. Can see it going off much shorter tomorrow, 10/1 is a decent price

Think this one is a proper animal. Like koi, can't see it beat, but won't be touching at the price.

Sonko, I'm assuming that Coneygree will go for the Albert Bartlett.

Not convinced by what Taquin Du Seuil has beaten yet and I've got a few nagging doubts about his high knee action - could turn out to be a little quirky IMO.

Looking back it was probably a bit of an OTT statement (and I'm not even drinking tonight!). I'll revisit this tomorrow.

Makes me laugh when people say its a proper animal but wont be touching it at its price, if it were Frankel you would jumping on it so you've got some sort of negative feeling just like the op, you can always put it as your banker with any other bets tomorrow if you cant see it being beat to boost your funds!

Champagne Fever bar a fall will win as he likes to further enhance Jezkis outstanding claims for the Supreme -cant believe you can still get just over 4/1 for next years Champion Hurdle winner-yes i think hes that good-outstanding performanc by CF to get as close as he did imo last time out -wonder what HFs thoughts would be if he was playing -personally think he would smash into it

You need to look further than just a mullins hotpot, his first race when 1/8F the second has been beat 94 lengths since! Thomas Edison what beat CF has been beaten out of sight since and has no entries for any race currently!

Conclusion, CF might win tomorrow but I would lay him for any race at cheltenham.

frankel didnt have hurdles in front of him to be fair.

Minsk only 'danger', more suited to this trip but as the price reflects cf is much the likeliest  winner.

But Istabraq did but he was like Frankel a cert, CF is Im afraid another talking horse.

CF was beaten by one of the best novices to grace either shore in many a year -just look at the depth of the race at Leopardstown over Xmas to back that point up

yeah, istabraq was never beaten at short odds.

Istabraq never ran against Jezki or anything of his ilk/class in his novice season -loved him as a horse and Jezki still has to get the stamps on his passport as it were but i firmly believe its only a matter of time -anyway time for bed cos Green Bay have put the game to bed

The depth!!!!! Please look at that race again

CF is a chaser always was, what he did in his bumpers were just a bonus how you can put Jezki anywhere near Istabraq at this stage is unreal, you need to stick to the Green bays.

You gone bed fair enough but just for you, Jezki has beat a chaser(CF) and the biggest talking horse for 10 years(Minsk) and you think it can win 3 champion hurdles and it would of been four if it wasn't for foot and mouth!!

Beaten twice in its racing career & raced over a trip well short of what it needs....wish I had one of those talking horses

it is short, but i rate,jezski,very highly.

Im on to collect a lovely 35% interest rate! Win on bridle and should be 5's on. Nothing to beat.

i agree with most and i think its the most likely winner its the likely i disagree with........whatever happens 3s on is silly

Just to add though, Istabraq would have been 33/1 on in this!! Awesome hurdler that has pride of place over my fireplace!!

im on his next ride.

sorry marito.db.

got ruby beat in run,1.3

A bit closer than expected...

yep,i put in a small lay 1.3,to green up.

might do same in this in run,depends on opposition though.

Market and everything says this is a 'good thing' but I have layed it anyway..I think Minsk and rule the world can give it a good race. Might leave a small back bet in-running

one pace

1.3 bagged.

stopped like it was shot.

irish racing , dont ya just love it


results only service would more than suffice

Backed Walsh in the 1st laid walsh in 2nd race and backed him on that.My day is done

maybe a BBV?

I take it back Sonko.

I need a drink!

Had it to prove stepped up to 2m4f, on that basis 1.3 at the off was too short

Never travelling at any stage. You could reasonably expect a horse who makes all in a Champion Bumper to open up a clear advantage and then coast home - never looked like it. Can't get carried away about the winner because he probably ended up having nothing to beat. Bookmakers must be laughing - probably taken as much on this for the novice hurdles as anything else. Now probably means those who were clever and backed Pont Alexandre for the Albert Bartlett have also done their money.

Steps up 4f in distance and makes the running?irish racing rotten to the core,more money to be made laying these long odds on than the prize money on offer sad but true

Never travelling at any stage.

Yep. Clearly not right

Seems to be a few with something not quite right at the mo

the winner beat minsk far easier than CF  did last time so i dont think he would have beaten him anyway

Winner a serious horse. CF needs a fence and doesnt hurdle well enough. No surprise now Mullins was contemplating going straight over fences.

That was a slow motion finish.

The Irish Field ‏@TheIrishField
Champagne Fever was found to be suffering from a respiratory tract infection following his run in the Slaney Novice Hurdle.

like the icon turnip.

There was obviously something up. Race might as well have a line drawn through it as far as CF is concerned.

It may be wrong but I do laugh my nuts off when these smug money buying dunderheads do their lot

They are the ones that act like everyone is stupid when one of these thin'ns win and you have not backed it

D'oh

does anyone make money backing these shorties......you would have to have an amazing strike rate to make it pay

although promising, treat the winner with cauntion, thought ruby and minsk did each other no favours up front and the race fell in the lap of the winner.

Just to add. I am plenty up on this site and still going strong. YOU?????
