AvfcRigo82 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I know we have a thread on 'Gambling' but felt this would be an on going thread that deserved it's own. A place for everything horse racing for the NH fans amongst us, Tips, Info anything. So with the NH season firmly underway we witness the Showcase meeting at Cheltenham this weekend with a lot of promising novice hurdlers & chasers. Old Guard is one to keep an eye on this season from the Paul Nichols yard making his transition from hurdles to chases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 NH? Donkeys jumping over privets? Flat racing is far better Seriously though, it'd be nice to see a change from the Ricci/Mullins dominance in the big races 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, was shocked when I heard the news too. He was one of the top horses of the current generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thistlecrack absolutely hacked up in a farce of a race at the weekend. Other than that it was a dissappointing meeting. Tarquein de Seuil vs. Village Vic was a good contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 OLBG Mares' Hurdle A disappointing seasonal debut was enough for new trainer Elliott to draw stumps on ambitions to campaign last season's star juvenile, Apple's Jade, against the boys in the Champion Hurdle. There was even immediate talk of stepping her up in trip. Such an early capitulation is disappointing not only for the filly but potentially the entire generation she bossed from April onwards. Her 41-length Aintree demolition of Ivanovitch Gorbatov - who'd beaten her by a relatively narrow margin in the Triumph previously, when she had suffered an interrupted preparation in Mullins' hands - was one of the outstanding performances of the season. So freakish that perhaps it was merely freak? At Down Royal two Fridays ago, a horse rated 22lb inferior and conceding 2lb beat her by a length and a half. "That was disappointing," Elliott said, candidly. "She looked slow. I suppose the positive is she was only 80 per cent fit and we have not had her that long but is she a Champion Hurdle winner on that evidence? Definitely not. We will probably step her up in trip and she will win plenty of races. Ruby [Walsh] said she was flat out from a fair way out." If she does contest this race, she potentially faces at least one from a range of classy Ricci-owned former stablemates, including Limini (who didn't run on the Flat this season because "she got hurt" according to her owner), titleholder Vroum Vroum Mag and the shoulda-woulda-coulda winner of 2015, Annie Power, who infamously nosedived the last when clear before gaining - ahem - some compensation when winning an even bigger prize 12 months later. So it might turn out that Apple's Jade needs to elevate her form to pretty much Champion Hurdle calibre in order to win even this contest. Therefore 7/2 makes zero appeal. Good insight on things to come over the next few weeks/months. http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/article/465/10659384/lydia-hislops-road-to-cheltenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he wins the Gold Cup this year Coneygree will be match fit again by then! I like Cue Card but his last two races were bad so he looks to me like a hit and miss horse these days. Coneygree ran a good race when you think of how long he's been off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually called it on the morning of that day's racing, that Walsh would probably "drop it" if the first lot came in. A certain Irish bookie asked a family favour to stop him losing lots of dough - no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
