We are nearly there for the first Hunterchase of 2025 Season !! Taunton kicks us off on Wednesday 8th January 14:45 with The Geoffrey Bosely "Tally Ho" Open Hunterchase over 2 miles 5 furlongs and 150 yards. Entries should be up for all to view on BHA site from 4th January.
This promises to be a race to promote some discussion amongst us.
ITACARE will be hard to beat if turning up at Wadebridge on Sunday....
Think like last year that will be a strong form race. Harry spot on with the 3rd needing the run. Tim spot on in saying that the winner would come on for the very good Wadebridge 2nd and could be a Cheltenham horse and the market somehow getting the 2nd wrong and making it such a stupid price. Just impossible how it could have been more than double the price of A Jet Of Our Own
Ah well. Take All was 8-1 when I picked him and I honestly thought that’d be as big as he’d get so picked him win. Well done those who went ew, went out a long way in the end.
Winning time for the chase just run only 18s above standard so the ground as usual is better on the chase course than the hurdle course and shouldn't be that testing at all
Today's Front Runner email from the Post is about Angels Breath. Ed has got an exam this morning before he heads to Taunton. They are hoping to get the horse qualified for Cheltenham
Frero D'Armes E/W please
D’Jango non runner
Early contender for biggest rick of the season with 365 going 33/1 on Rewritetherules
A fascinating contest which I suspect might not even happen.
A really open contest, the two to concentrate on are probably the Skelton and Harry Derham runners but watching TAKE ALL cruise around Knightwick and of which would of probably won going away had he not run out at the last........looks to be a good each way play.
