Oh dear. Sharjah bad. Shudve trusted my ground instincts. Or he was just bad.
Honeysuckle Mares Hurdle best chance.February 1, 2020 at 15:18 #1481604Well done Euroalien, and All Jeff with that good ew.
What a good mare.February 1, 2020 at 15:19 #1481605Yes wd winners.
February 1, 2020 at 15:33 #1481612I suppose the bare form is not that good but she would have won more easily with a good jump at the last.
It is a thin year and I still think she wins the Champion if she runs in it. If she goes down the Mares route she will have to take on Benie, who is better than anything in the Champion.
I thought Rachel was brilliant on her and on Notebook. If the media want to raise the profile of women in sport then they should pay more attention to this young woman. 2 Grade 1 winners today, neither of them steering jobs and she regularly defeats men on a level playing field.
February 1, 2020 at 15:35 #1481613She must be some horse to win despite putting in one of the worst rounds of hurdling you’ll see in a grade 1
Had she jumped the last she was going to clear away and probably be 2/1 fav for the champion hurdle
But they have a lot of work to do on that jumping to win any race at Cheltenham
The mares chase in 2020 looks made for her
February 1, 2020 at 15:37 #1481615Yes two good rides. Glad Henry de Bromhead is having a good season too rather than Mullins and Elliott winning everything.
February 1, 2020 at 15:38 #1481616Imagine if bryony frost had won 2 grade 1s in a day
The first 20 pages of the racing post would be plastered with her
I hope Rachel blackmore starts getting the credit she deserves
She is right up there with robbie power and paul townend as the best jockeys in Ireland
February 1, 2020 at 15:46 #1481620Agree with that regarding RB, deserves way more credit, im a townend fan, always have been, i like power, but shes as good as anyone
February 1, 2020 at 16:48 #1481632Rachel Blacknore gets regular credit and quite right. Its just not over the top like ITV do it for Bryony.
February 1, 2020 at 16:58 #1481634Tricky one for owners now, clearly should go here, but she wasn’t very impressive. Darver Star, what a run.
