    The bonfire will be if WP doesn’t target her at the race Stilvi – which looks more likely now rather than any lack of ability on her part. She handles Cheltenham well, goes on the ground etc. she’ll be a short priced favourite for the Mares Hurdle at least even with Whiteoak in there.

    How many ex-French do you want nrunning for you in the Champion Hurdle, Martin? 8)

    Quevega clearly needs further than 2m and Hurricane Fly has a killer turn of foot the same trip. The only thing that will need looked at if Mullins targets the mare at the Champion Hurdle, is his grey matter. He already has the winner warming a box in his yard, and the only danger is today’s winner. :wink:

    Just the two will do for me – though one will be good given it’s the winner :)

    Hurricane Fly and Mikael D’Haguenet are two completely different horses so it’s fairly pointless to go comparing them. It’s very unlikely their ever going to race against each other anyway.

    You can shout all you want about Hurricane Fly but this is much better horse than him or any other young pretender around!

    Only a muppet would suggest he knows with absolute certainty, the level of both horses.

    I think I’ve pretty much proved myself on here spotting horses like Binocular 25/1 ew Zarkava 7/1 Kauto Star 7/1 5/1 Master Minded 11/4 6/4 Kicking King 25/1 ew Don’t Push IT Needs 3 miles etc etc for you to have the manners not to call me a Muppet Grassy.

    I am saying the horse is a star of the future and he’s done more to prove that than Hurrcane Fly. If you don’t agree with that by all means say so and back it up withyour reasons but cut out the muppet shyte..

    If you insist, Fist. 8)

    You have suggested all season that Cousin Vinny is essentially a shi*te hurdler. You are now suggesting that Mikael D’Haguenet, despite being fully ridden-out to beat said Cousin Vinny yesterday evening, is definitely a better horse than Hurricane Fly.

    I’ll be honest with you, I was a little bit disappointed with Mikael D’Haguenet yesterday. He had to work harder than I would have expected (the write-up he gets in the Racing Post is, frankly, a misleading joke), and anyone suggesting that yesterday’s effort

    proves

    more than Hurricane Fly did in either of his last two runs, is wrong.

    IMVHO, of course.

    Only a muppet would think that :lol: Gotcha ya fooker :wink:
