“Leave the champion hurdle behind in january”
Come on 😂😂 one run a season before cheltenham is dreadful, absolutely dreadful nothing to do with the prior infection either, he’d have done this regardless.
The best part about it is, he wont be winning this, if your sitting on 10/1, youve done well, but hes 2/1 to make the race currently,
Lossiemouth will plaster him at cheltenham, her worst track is leopardstown and BDA’s best is early season leaopardstown, the only worry is if she’ll actually run as shes prone to a bad one at the drf, theyll run el fab against her and there has to be a chance he can improve on today, theres worse 50s pokes about than him currently
i despise the stable and i dont think he’s remotely good enough, the new lion at 5/1? Whos pricing this up…
Im assuming now Nicky is just accepting Constitution hill is gone at the game? 20s on the machine now. Hes still a better AP punt than sir gino
Need your heads checked betting him sub 3/1 currently
Majborough 110s, has to be a chance he comes back over hurdles given his jumping is butchering any hope over a fence
Sir gino absolutely will not win this 😂
“Come on 😂😂 one run a season before cheltenham is dreadful,”
Henderson will do what is necessary to have him at his peak in March. If he needs a run he’ll run if not he won’t.
“but hes 2/1 to make the race currently,”
Why’s that? Do you have in depth knowledge of the infection he had and the chances of it returning that you’d like to share with us?”
“Lossiemouth will plaster him at cheltenham,”
Sir Gino looks a proper 2 miler with plenty of speed, Lossiemouth is a good mare i don’t think she is as quick as Sir Gino. She might not even run if she loses at the DRF then will be plastering the mares instead.
“the new lion at 5/1? Whos pricing this up…”
The New Lion’s first run this season wasn’t as good as Sir Gino’s (who ran after a layoff too) and still has to prove he’s a proper 2 miler.
“20s on the machine now. Hes still a better AP punt than sir gino”
He keeps falling and it’s doubtful he runs over hurdles again so not the best AP bet to be taking.
“Majborough 110s, has to be a chance he comes back over hurdles given his jumping is butchering any hope over a fence”
He won’t win the Champion Hurdle in March.
“i despise the stable and i dont think he’s remotely good enough
Sir gino absolutely will not win this 😂”There’s a fair number of people who thinks he will including myself.
Sir Gino can win the Champion , however he’s no value and the worry I would have is that he’s not savvy enough for this , people keep saying Lossiemouth and The New Lion are to slow , they’re both festival winners though and you still have to get up that hill , I’ve played both ante post and will likely tickle again , the best form this year by a country mile is Lossiemouth heading betterdaysahead
I think the talk of Lossiemouth and The New Lion being too slow is nonsense. Just ensure there’s a strong gallop set.
Istabraq, Hardy Eustace, Faugheen, Annie Power and Honeysuckle all came back to the Champion Hurdle trip from 2m4f+ and it certainly didn’t hinder them any.
Take Sir Gino or Constitution Hill out of the equation and those are the two who’ll be battling it out for victory imo so they’re hardly too slow.
El Fabiolo might be a decent e/w shout also.
HDLG and GM23 I am saying I think Lossiemouth may not be as quick than Sir Gino over 2 miles. The New Lion might be not be as well. Not as quick against Sir Gino no imo, against everything else, probably. Only one horse can win the Champion Hurdle. If Sir Gino wins the Champion Hurdle then Lossiemouth and The New Lion weren’t quick enough.
I wouldn’t trust Mullins one minute before the off to run Lossiemouth
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Why is he the most likely winner , what happens when he comes off the bridle , there’s more likely favourites to come in
I watched the Christmas “Road To Cheltenham” on RTV this afternoon. Maybe I am reading too much into it but it sounded to me as though Ruby Walsh was very strongly hinting that Lossiemouth will run in the Mares Hurdle.
Henderson used to run See You Then just once before the Champion Hurdle. Henrietta Knight didn’t exactly over-race Best Mate. Was everyone here slagging off Willie Mullins when Quevega didn’t even run once before the Mares’ Hurdle every season?
“Lossiemouth , she has stronger form in the book”
OR: Lossiemouth 159, Sir Gino 163
RPR: Lossiemouth 160, Sir Gino 163
TFR: Lossiemouth 158, Sir Gino 164pSo no, Lossiemouth does not have better form in the book. The only thing her supporters can cling to is the mares’ allowance.
I get as pissed off about other trainers not running there horses until Cheltenham as i do about Henderson. Nicky has and always will be my favorite trainer, which makes it all the more frustrating when he wraps them in cotton wool.
The means to an end allows trainers to feel justified, but the games gone if horses run just once and then its off to Cheltenham. I appreciate there are mitigating circumstances around Sir Gino. Henderson is the victim of his own success, his horses become bigger than the game almost and he has had a conveyor belt of superstars for nigh on 10 years now.
TBH after the xmas hurdle last year he said CH would be put away to Cheltenham and then ran the horse in the unibet, as he was in too good form not too. So its hardly set in stone that Sir Gino wont be seen again till March.
Mike, any horse this far out is 2/1 to make the festival/ suspected targeted race, not just sir gino, if youd been around long enough, or had any semblance of punting, you’d know this. Hence why you dont understand why i said majborough at 110s or el fabiolo, or constitution hill are better punts at this stage, if any or all turned up, youd be in profit before they set foot on the track that day
The fact that you like him so much is enough to make him 12/1 alone 😂. All joking aside, why would who thinks he can win remotely make any difference to my opinion?
And theres a reason he left him in the champion chase decs today and its not because he thinks one will become easier. There both around equal in depth, the CH is arguably slightly easier currently.
Its because he knows he’s better suited to it.
