Irish Champion Hurdle Betting Guide

Jan. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Willie Mullins’ 8 year-old will face four other rivals at Leopardstown at the weekend, including stable mate Thousand Stars and Dermot Weld’s classy mare Unaccompanied, who was runner-up in last season’s Triumph at the Cheltenham Festival.

Ruby Walsh will head over to Ireland after riding at Cheltenham on Saturday to take the ride – He said in the Racing Post in the week……….

“He worked well at Leopardstown. Emmet Mullins rode him that day. I sat on him last week and he was in good form. It’s like any horse coming back from a long break. It won’t be easy to take on horses who are fit, but he’s an exceptionally talented horse. He has speed, stamina and jumps – I’m really looking forward to riding him again.”

Hurricane Fly, who will be bidding to win Sunday’s race for a second year in a row, will need to be at his very best to see of some of the new kids on the block, but let’s not forget he’s three-from-three at the track, while after winning the Champion Hurdle last March on quicker ground then he’s as versatile as they come in terms of the underfoot conditions.

Being odds-on in the betting then the bookmakers clearly think he’s up to the job first time out, while a comprehensive victory will surely see the current quotes of around 2/1 for the Champion Hurdle disappear without trace.
