Probably the most sensible synopsis of the Champion Hurdle result I've seen.
Just watched the race back. it's not what it seems (imo) and, like so many wide margin soft ground winners, Esporie...
There is no 'technology' for furlong-by-furlong sectionals save those produced by ATR (which went out of the window for Irish racing when they jumped ship to RTV) or from Meydan and the odd tilt from...
So you could see inside her lungs, and thus knew exactly when her distress started? :lol: .Spare me, ffs.
I've little time for NH sectionals, moreso those produced by a relative tyro, mostly on...
If that's a pop at me, you can stow it, James.
Apples Jade may well have scoped badly as the result of a hard race.

Connections made the point beforehand that Samcro would need a strong pace, hence the presence of 2...
Harumph !!!
From KB's Blog - ATR: Over at Leopardstown on Saturday, the Ryanair Hurdle did produce an easy winner that could potentially be a contender for the Champion Hurdle, but it was a race...
From OH's Blog - ATR:
"I suppose with Buveur d’Air being outspeeded at Kempton, that Samcro, who he readily outpaced at Newcastle in the Fighting Fifth, was found out in what developed into a speed...
He, and she, would've netted me a tidy sum in forecast bets.
As I was saying - Ouch!
Both beaten by a boil-over that, apparently, even the stable didn't fancy.
