The Horse racing thread

Barring a disaster Hurricane Fly will win. Should even be shorter than his current odds. I can't believe that so many are making a case for a few horses that aren't in the same league as him. He'll make Zarkandar look like a canal boat.

Quevega will probably be 1/3 at the off if the Fly and Scotsirish do the business.

DH... In short, lump on HF and Quevega Double for the tuesday?

Was just planning my Cheltenham strategy there. On the 1st day i can't get away from lumping on Hurricane and Quevega. Don't know whether to take prices now or hope  that the bookies take on the Hurricane.

Always do a pre Cheltenham ante post accum and for ther 1st time ever i'm fairly confident it will come in.
Hurricane Fly, Quevega, Sizing Europe, Big Bucks [ plus i added Crossmaglen for all ireland at pre semi stage ] 17/1

Very difficult to see either of them beaten. If I could only have one bet over the four days it would be on Quevega.

Fans of Kauto Star might be interested in the 22/1 at Paddy Power on HF, Quevega, Big Buck's and the Star. For a small punt, it could turn into a decent sum on the old boy for the Big One. And I do realise sentiment shouldn't come into betting but in this case I'm willing to make an exception.

Im sure u will have your eye on the weights today DH? Anything in particular you are keeping an eye out for? I remember last year you said Sir Des Champs was the best hanicapped horse in Ireland which was some shout!

I haven't even looked at the entries yet to be honest but I'd be very interested to see what mark Moon Dice gets in the County Hurdle. He was given a poor ride by Tom Doyle in the Greatwood getting him into all sorts of trouble in running but he was still only beaten a few lengths. The new course will suit him even better and he'd be a cracking e/w bet if he's off the same mark that he was back in November.

Noticed White Star Line in the Novices Handicap Chase.  He was one you followed once DH ? Patsy would be patient enough to plot one too.
