Has anyone heard anything regard Black Hercules.?
Is he still owed by Wylie and trained by Mullins etc, not ran since Jan 2017
I see on oddschecker he is quoted for this raceBlackbeard to conquer the World
Not heard anything Nath, but I had clocked those quotes myself.
The last two seasons there were definitely quotes that he was “back in”, but those came to nothing.
Always a ropey race to get involved in before the entries, as the market is usually full of horses who still have to qualify, or aren’t eligible (though I’m a wee bit ignorant of the full qualifying conditions)
Ps I’m still in shock at you starting a thread for The Foxhunter lol
Haha yeah, I was going to put a Black Hercules thread up on the main board but thought I’d kill two birds with one stone. At this stage with no sound bites Id want over 100/1 but just interested to see what might happen.
Black Hercules a big favourite of mine from when beating Lami Serge and Bristol De Mai all those years ago and both myself and brother had a fair lump on him and both shouting at Ruby on the TV to get him home.Blackbeard to conquer the World
Nath, Black Hercules out at Down Royal on Boxing Day, in The Bluegrass Hunters.
Cracking line up apart from Hercules, and as good a line up as you could hope for.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Edwulf, who looks to retain plenty of ability, and he’d be my #1 right now for this.
Thanks Vtc
I was just looking at it myself
I see Black Hercules ran 32 days ago in an Irish PTP so at least he has had a run since that long breakBlackbeard to conquer the World
Wee bit disappointed with Hercules today Nathan, but plenty of time for him to bounce back.
I was a lot happier with Edwulf though. A lot to work on, and I’m happy to see his price holding, but not willing to bet him just yet.
Not yet Nenni. Think he has to win another Point, or finish second in a Hunter, but I do get mixed up with this race.
To be eligible a horse must have finished first or second twice in hunter chases, or have won two open point-to-point races, or have won one open point-to-point race and finished first or second in a hunter chase.
Struggling to find the conditions but I am sure I read somewhere that it was his third place in last year’s Red Mills that disqualified him.
Caryto Des Brosses and Wishing And Hoping my early picks.
Former finished second to last years winner and the latter is a relentless galloper who’s been spanking his rivals into submission on the PTP circuitNenni, I was thinking of what he had to do to get in, rather than what was stopping him.
I thought it was first two in a Graded Chase, but I think you’re right about first three.
I’ll just put him back on my Cross Country list now.
Caid Du Berlais won a Grade 3 prior to his renewal but qualified via points.
You can’t run in a hunter chase to qualify if you’ve been placed in a Grade 1 or 2
Hazel Hill at 8s is very decent imo.
He has an excellent point record, won from the front last year in a race notoriously fast paced and suited to the late closers, came back to win at the track in April and clearly has one target.
8/1 – a good price if you ask me.
Hazel Hill @ 8/1
Wishing And Hoping is an absolute weapon
Took 20/1 as he jumped the last.
Him and Hazel Hill will do me
