@5s

Not even with the free bet sitting in me account am I touching Laurina.


Lord of the Lodge (15:40 Newc) and Adrimel (17:02 Donc) double @5s.

Ive backed Surin in that first race w/o laurina and elfie at 6/1 on bet365. Needs to return to form but thats 2 big in a 3 horse race.

Laurina was odds on last night. The paper price is 4/6.

Now available at even money..... just gone 11/10.

She has over a stone in hand on hurdle ratings and has been pulled up the last twice. Given how things have capitulated since her beginners chase romp at Gowran you would have to be worried. You couldn't be backing her.

I have backed Black Tears.

if she hacks up ( i hope she does) does she come into the Mares reckoning??

No, on the basis that her ratings indicate that she should be hacking up. She should be stuffing these mares by a stone.

I reckon she is regressive Rog, it happens. If she hacks up she will merely become "inconsistent". She is a hype horse, a bookies favourite.

In a bumper with plenty of unknowns Line Break shaped with plenty of promise before falling in a juvenile hurdle last time. Big fan of hurdlers dropping back into a bumper and is worth chancing at 12/1

RivetingRoger

If she is beaten today, I propose a new race, the "whatthe****happenedthere" Hurdle
Run over 2m, featuring once seemingly great horses who lost their way!

Heading the market we have Samcro, Yorkhill, Laurina, Klassical Dream, Limini, Ivanovic Gorbatov and I am bringing back Capri for the craic!

Right man on board too
Hoping he stays on OK Corral in a few weeks

Laurina will finish last or pulled up and the excuse would be that she bled again. We will find out in 5 mins time. This mare should not be running full stop.

What to do with her now

Desperate

Shes a nice mare that Elfie

not so long ago she was hammering stormy ireland , something badly amiss

Laurina needs a wind op and come back again next season. However WP Mullins is not sold on wind ops etc. But if we are to see the very best of the mare then such an operation is an absolute must.

RivetingRoger

This time last year she was the second coming, Fergal O'Brien chose her as the one horse in training he would love to have on SSR

Christ lads, tis a shame

She doesnt need a breathing op! She needs to stop bursting! Unfortunately that more than likely wont happen.

The mares novice hurdle at Cheltenham should be downgraded to a handicap. It is a donkey derby, don't make the mistake of following winners or placed horses from this race, it is worse than the bumper.

The Laurina saga is now over. Stop backing her, she is finished. When good ones go wrong they never come back, especially mares.

The grade 1 she won at the Fairyhouse festival does not amount too much either, a grade 1 in name only.

There is a link between bursting blood vessels and have issues with either your wind or breathing. That's why a wind op is a solution to solve such issues and certainly the likes of Paul Nicholls, Nicky Henderson and Colin Tizzard are in such agreement with me, as they have no issue of having their horses operated on to solve wind or breathing issues, if they see a horse not finishing their races or make noices.

Hopefully come next season we will see the real Laurina as this has been a write off of a season.

Pogue eile

Ah here! If it was a handicap so what rating would you have giving Laurina after she beat the 152 rated Maria's benefit by over 20 lenghts?

The race is only 4 years old and plenty of good horses have come out of it; Laurina, Epitante, Verdanna Bleu, La Baque au roi, Maria's Benefit etc.

Mare's are just very fragile and more vunreable.

stretchaq

is relegate a really well handicapped horse if Colm Murphy has her tuned up for today or just a first 6 to qualify for chetenham job??

What was Maxwell doing on Captain Cattistock in Doncaster.

Made way too much use of the horse for most of the race and got himself ****ed over the last fence for good measure. He went "lickety split" as Mick Fitz would say.

Legitimate pocket talk I feel.

Surely you know you're receiving little help in the saddle when you punt one of his mounts, no point complaining afterwards.

I'll have a little nibble on Arctic Vega and Al Badr double for the evening races.

Just penciled Arctic Vega into the notepad. Very sound debut.
