RFC55 107,764 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Pretty low key this year Imo. No kauto, no sprinter sacre and ladbrokes refunding losing bets up to 25quid if hurricane fly wins or finishes 2nd in the champion hurdle makes ne wonder if the fly has a problem.really like our Connor and Irving so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready1873 3,864 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 No Cue Card either which could have had a good festival. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROOMIERD 308 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Just had a look at the champion hurdle, only 11 left in the race so will be the smallest field for years. Looks a cracking race. If Mullins runs ANNIE POWER it would be a big clue as she has easier opportunities. I will probably back MY TENT OR YOURS and lay off for a profit in running,,will travel well and probably look like the winner at some stage before getting outbattled late on by ???
