Champion Hurdle 2015

[granger]

The thread of last season can start this year with an update on the reigning champ.

"He's done amazingly well over the summer," beamed Harrington. "He's come back in looking really, really good. He's just doing loads of canters now and the lad who rides him every day says he's just asleep, he's that relaxed.

"That's all he's doing at the moment, but I'd say logically he'll start out in the Morgiana and then run again at Christmas - that's what I would see him doing."

I'm on at a high of 130 for the Stayers.

In terms of the price contracting, Irving is the one, I like.

Should win fto, seems to be in good health and capable of better than he showed last March.

Aniflet looked the best juvenile over here last year but was never off the bridle and has it to prove again.

Top four in the market are all tight enough.

Big clashes over Xmas on both sides of the sea will tell a lot.

I had a play too.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will never change. Best of luck old chum.

May the Force be with us, granger.

Wilde Blue Yonder is out for the season with a tendon injury. Sore one for the syndicate.

[chroniclandlord]

Very disappointing.

Wilde Blue Yonder is out for the season with a tendon injury. Sore one for the syndicate.

Bitterly disappointing. A horse I followed closely last season and backed to a place in the supreme at a massive price.
I was very much looking forward to seeing him this season. Commiserations to all concerned.

I was talking shite, granger. I'm on at a high of 34 for the Stayers - it's the Champion Hurdle I'm on at 130 (no laughing at the back - or, indeed, the front).

[tiggers1972]

Just knew you had to have had a bit on for the Champion Grasshopper, and you called us fishwives!!!!

yep - was wondering where you had pulled the 130 from

I haven't backed him for the CH, maybe I should

[Ivantheterrible]

Any word on Analifet's recovery/reappearance?

[Grasshopper]

A fishwife is a serial doubter. I'm more yer cannae-let-go-complete-muppet type, Tiggers.

[EC1]

not another load of fishwife stuff...got a bit tiresome last year..wore thin really

[granger]

Any word on Analifet's recovery/reappearance?

Injury wasn't thought to be too serious.

Haven't seen anything on her yet but no news is good news
