Not much to say about this, except that 5/2 about Lossiemouth could be a pretty good bet.
BlueSky @pghenn.bsky.social
So don't run, just like the others always do
I’ll just take State Man on. No harm to him, just a terrific horse, but I’ll go Brighterdaysahead 10-3, and Sir Gerhard 33-1 ew
Skybet have State Man for £10 max bet at Evens if anyone wants it. An extra tenner in the kitty isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Gutted as I thought Lossiemouth was a cracking price , State Man should tot up however Sir Gerrard is to big so played him
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
I think state man should be 1/4 for this, hes 1/2ish and drifting, which i find curious, having been let down by CH next week ill give it a miss, but i wouldnt be against having a punt even at that price
As good as BDH is, she was beaten in the MNH, state man would literally have lapped them, she ran well lto, but i mean, shes going to have to run a mighty race if state man can still run to 169, nothing to suggest he couldnt still inprove either
Obviously shes the most likely winner should he fail, but its hard to seenit, hes the most underrated horse in training
Good race. State Man landed on all fours at the last after hitting the front and she bravely got back up.
Not entirely surprising as she had the race fitness advantage and SM looked a little burly beforehand but she simply can’t jump like that and expect to win or be competitive in a Champion Hurdle against cherry ripe rivals
She is now 4s (from 14s) for the Champion Hurdle……..they are having a major laugh – if she beats him again over Christmas when he is race and match fit then maybe but I expect SM will beat her next time.
I thought State Man looked a bit burly too LD.
State Man has won on reappearance before, but hasn’t really needed to be at his best to do so. Was giving the winner more than the sex allowance too. However, State Man will be 8 years old come March…And although Brighterdaysahead didn’t jump that well today, was also jumping constantly left-handed on a right handed track. Cheltenham should suit her better and could jump better that way around. She’s still improving
Value Is EverythingState Man may well reverse it at Xmas. Thinking what Ballyburn Fact To File and Galopin did after run 1 last season.
Difficult race to judge as only two of them were really trying so hard to know how much below his best State Man was and even then looked like he’d have had her measure anyway but for the jump at the last. There’s nowhere near enough evidence to say she should be 4/1 for a Champion Hurdle.
