very true, just hope there isn’t more to this than meets the eye
November 12, 2022 at 16:18 #1622806Probably not a bad move to have missed it. She would have to be very special to have beaten the winner.
November 12, 2022 at 16:21 #1622807Queens Gamble looked good coz Luccia weren’t there and race rival ducked out. ;o)
November 12, 2022 at 16:22 #1622808Yeah maybe she’s just not fully fit, she better be special anyway or she aint winning in March!
November 12, 2022 at 16:22 #1622809haha oh yeah forgot about that Mullins horse lool Brandy Love 2.0
November 12, 2022 at 16:25 #1622810“just hope there isn’t more to this than meets the eye”
It was the going BHA reported. Relax lol
Look at the non runners list coz of the going. Edwardstone out tomorrow as well.
Cheltenham clerk of the course didnt turn on the taps this time.
November 12, 2022 at 16:25 #1622811“Race rival ducked out.”
I doubt that made much difference.
November 12, 2022 at 16:36 #1622812Fair enough Mike, I guess I just always find it a little odd when there are Non-Runners yet all the fancied horses run to their merits, it’s not as though Luccia didn’t bolt up on soft at Sandown last year lol. Maybe Nicky just doesn’t want to give the mare a hard race.
November 12, 2022 at 16:49 #1622813“it’s not as though Luccia didn’t bolt up on soft at Sandown last year”
Soft then. Good today.
November 12, 2022 at 17:08 #1622816Ah wasn’t aware it was good ground today, it’s rained really heavily here on the south coast for the past week with it being more sunny today and yesturday, hence me assuming the ground may have been tacky. Not sure what all this means for the horses chances if it’s good ground come March then
November 12, 2022 at 18:07 #1622822He likely just didn’t want to start her on good ground
November 12, 2022 at 18:38 #1622827True FF, will be interesting to see if he sends her straight over hurdles now.
November 12, 2022 at 18:55 #1622830Hopefully he does
November 12, 2022 at 21:06 #1622859Thinking about it if Henderson was happy to run his other horses today/tomorrow but pulled Luccia out I think that bodes well for us, probably means he thinks she could be a bit special
November 21, 2022 at 00:22 #1624014Luccia entered in a 2m maiden hurdle at Newbury this Friday
November 21, 2022 at 13:28 #1624050As is talking horse jet powered, be interesting to see what nicky runs
November 21, 2022 at 13:47 #1624051The ground will have to be 100% perfect before Henderson allows her to set her dainty little hooves upon it.
