2014 Champion Hurdle

Soft Falling Rain

The excitement is really starting to build for me. I just hope if nothing else Hurricane Fly goes down fighting. If he wins, well....I look forward to seeing all of ye give the horse its due on here tomorrow.

How can anyone think Jezki can possibly win.

Perhaps because you don't know half as much as you think you do.

You've done nothing but ridicule people on this forum for an age yet you've been talking more tripe than anyone. You come across as some clown to be fair.

Jezki is gonna just lurve that ground

It will be a nice day out for him, MTOY and Cee Bee are travelling together in the Bentley horsebox, Jezkis horsebox has 3 wheels.

Sure he'll get nice tan at the very least.

Barry's been fairly bullish about Jezki's chances in any of the preview nights he's done. Not a man to talk ****e either.

Fantastic renewal though.

Mtoy is the worst price I have ever seen.

Same with Our Connor. Only one 5 year old winner in the last 19 years.

JP :eek:

I had a sneaky place bet at 38s. If they go a frentic gallop he could be passing walking horses and is worth a small interest at that level.

He beat Binocular on the other course on GS, albeit 25 years ago

He won't be passing anything though, he will be in front from the off, thats why he's in the race

Our Conor wasn't a normal winning Triumph hurdle winner last year, he is not a normal 5 year old this year.

Race reminds me Comedy of Errors when going for the 3rd Champion hurdle win but a young horse called Night Nurse age 5 snatched the crown

Only one might have won but in the last 10 years triumph winners tend to out run there odds.
I think his price is very very fair and by no means to short he is 11/2 with 1/4 odds is an exceptional ew proposition in my book.

Although he was visually impressive it was an absolute shocking Triumph Hurdle. He isnt getting any weight allowances also today whereas he has on his last 2 starts (ratings say he would of finished last if he was on level weights last time out). I would be shocked if he finished in front of Hurricane Fly or Jezki.

Malarkey121

Disagree that it was shocking Triumph hurdle - I already went through it in detail every horse and runs since and posted previously with the amount of winners that came form the race plus it wasn't just a normal win by 2-3 lengths.

I would only take into account his last run out, previous before that was basically first run of season after getting kicked in flat race and put out of action for awhile without work on that run 2 lengths to find, I wouldn't just brush it aside by using the 5 year old age stat then naming a 10 year old, your selecting stats to suit (last 10 year old to win?) you can pick holes in everything if look hard enough.

best of luck in your punts today, stick a fiver each way on Our Conor 11/2 you know it makes sense

Slattsy

Our Conor - lay lay lay

Your too man, I went with Jezki each way something is telling me he is going to run a cracker today, only for a bad jump at the last in last years supreme he would of gone very close. Will love the ground and a proper run race :cool:

Re: the ground and Jezki - I thought before last years Supreme they were all saying he needed it to be on the softish side to have a chance?

I think the pace on a soft surface wouldnt be as fast as he would want, goodish ground and its sure to be a real good clip, I think the fast pace will make him settle and jump better.

allthedoyles

Ceebee was supplemented to create a fast pace , and make ideal conditions for MTOY to pounce .

Hope it dont work out for JP this time , as I have backed HF .

Our Conor the only horse at the top of the betting never to have made a mistake hurdling!
He is the chosen one!!

Anatom

Jezki takes it! A great race and the Fly is beaten. End of an era?

Soft Falling Rain

What a stormer from Jezki, respect to Slattsy and his unwaivering faith
faith.

Disappointed for HF, for a moment it looked like the stars were aligning.

Hope OC is ok, TNO can count itself desperately unlucky.

Gringo180

What a game horse Jezki is really stuck his head out to the line. Super ride by Barry.
