24 HOURS to the big day & ive finally made up my mind on “The champion hurdle”
SP Fairbets
So what are we liking for the champion hurdle ???trying to decide myself & torn between head & heart,but this drying ground & lovely weather is swaying me into one direction…..
Iam almost tempted to just watch and enjoy,have a small punt with not worrying in the slightest if i lose.Just hope the race which looks the best in recent years,lives up to its billing.
So my heart has always told me to go with “The fly ” and if he could pull this one off will surely be up with the true true greats in racing history.He is a truly great horse,but one more champion against this field at his age would cement his place at somewhere near the top.
I though since pondering this for a while have just played OUR CONOR at 15 points place at 1.93 and 5 point win at 5.7 on betfair.Reason being think its value & i think the dessie hughes magic had been put in place for this one.The drying ground i think is going to suit him really well.
Also if you remember what Dessie hughes did with HARDY EUSTACE,didnt win a race of any significance before his champion hurdle wins but was primed to the max for the big one and i see this happening.This feeling has grown stronger in the last couple of days and think he will surelly go close.So again iam going 15 points place @ 1.92 on betfair
with 5 points win @ 5.6 on betfairIf Hurricane fly wins or any of the others,i will not be unhappy in the slightest because these races are to saviour & lets pray that all have a safe journey round & come home safe
