|
|
By:
has to be my nap for the meeting his lto run really impressed me and i think him and rolling star will fight it out..
|
|
By:
he nevr got further than a mile on the flat....7f was prob his optimum trip....cannot see him gettin up de hill mate....is quite a handy horse too not sure how he will cope with de hussle and bussle of such a fiercely run 2m race
|

By:
its between our conor and far west.

By:

i know what you mean snap..but all the jocks said the lep race ran like a good one..only rolling star will put it up to him imo..hes by Jeremy..but dessie hughes thinks he.ll have no probs with staying..so i,ll go with him..i spoke to richard hughes on wednesday in the parade ring and he said they fancy it big time.

By:
I really fancy it as well, performance at Leopardstown was very special and the best form on offer. I am having a mixed week but really confident he can win.
|
|
By:
I,m with him as well,thought his last run was very impressive as well,Mullins had no hesitation nominating Diakali after his second win for the triumph, hard to see him turning it around.

Bit of a mixed message from his last race granted he won easy, Blood Cotil (4th) Ruacana (3rd) ran well enough in the Fred Winter finishing 6th and 7th respectively albeit fairly well beaten, the well beaten 5th that day at Leopardstown the disingenuously campaigned Flaxen Flare hosed up in the Fred Winter, suggests if he was in that sort of form at Leopardstown he'd surely have frightened the life out of Our Conor on a strict reading of the form?.
For the most part the Hughes horses have been performing with great credit all week so that has to be positive when you consider Our Conor was by far his best chance of the meeting going in. Paul Nichols is having a mare of meeting thus far which hardly screams back Far West, as for Henderson I know he's had 3 winners 2 certs and an outsider, but other than that his horses have in the main been disappointing. I would be tempted by Stocktons Wing who wasn't beat miles by Our Conor at nearly 6 times the price but its ridden by McCoy who would stop a freight train at the moment. I like the look of Hidden Justice 16/1 for in form trainer John Quinn bolted up in his 2 runs to date, I know they were only class 4 but the form has worked out reasonably well and with Countrywide Flame running a cracker in the Champion might be worth chancing?. |

trainer insists he wont like too much cut in the ground, so fingers crossed the rain stays away for him.
|

By:
I think Diakali might reverse placings with him as long as they don't try to make all tomorrow. Suicidal stuff trying to win something like the Triumph from the front.
|

By:
Just had another look at that Leopardstown race there. In fairness Our Conor was very impressive so might have a little saver on him.
Just in case like! |
|
By:
If Cooper can get him switched off will have a big chance.
|
|
By:
Diakali haring off like it's the Nunthorpe!

It's going to be some Champion Hurdle next year. The old guard finished. Our Conor, MTOY, Jezki, Champagne Fever all on the up. Another TRUE golden age of hurdling awaits.

Delighted for the connections , Great to see the little man get a good one ..That's why the national hunt game is so popular.....
|
|
By:
To what 'little man' are you referring workrider ?
|
|
By:
Well done all winners, and special word of thanks to tony,(for putting a very strong positive to this fellow), I'd say this fellow would be alot more like the great little horse Monksfield, no offence to punchestown, just an opinion..........
|
|
By:
Meant the performance JayTrump and not in appearance
 |
|
By:
jesus i thought the horse would win but that was fantastic..like always im kicking myself for not lumping on..but i have to be happy with the win...delighted so many of the lads fancied the horse also..
|
|
By:
Will be a lot of people following this one until its beaten . Very impressive from horse and jockey , missed it myself although I fancied it . No bet , apart from a little in running . Price actually put me off backing it , couldn't believe the price .
|
|
By:
Man that horse has to be doped tested, ****g hell guys that was mighty, vanquished!
|
|
By:
OK punchestown, he does look smallish, though very neat, bit like Monksfield I thought, but you could be right he could be another GC, probably find though that it may have been a poor Triumph, but boy was he impressive..........good man tony...........
|
|
By:
Seriously Champion Hurdle written all over, I've never been as impressed since Istabraq demolished them first time, what a HORSE!
|
|
By:
Slow down silver, lets hope he stays sound.......
when is the flat starting silver ? looking forward to laying APoB's early on as he strives to get them fit........has been profitable the last few years...... |
|
By:
Jay come on that was effing impressive, only a silvergreaser could kill the moment?
|
|
By:
Racing Post in running analysis;
"Chased leader and always travelling well, upsides 2 out, soon led on bit, effortlessly drew clear between last 2, pushed out when well in command run-in, impressive" Impressive? absolutely! |
|
By:
On a line through Diakali he is still improving and he has shown that in each run to date. Some potential with him. Think you have put it very well Jadeturtle.
|
|
By:
Hurricane Fly is a genuine grade one performer but if put in against Istabraq he would'nt have seen which way the great Istabraq went.
Our Conor bar injury the world is at his feet. |
|
By:
whats his best price for nx yrs champion?
|
|
By:
Kav, you can get 5/1 Hurricane, 6/1 Conor and 8/1 The New one and MTOY'S.
By xmas Conor will be 6/4. |
|
By:
