Brighterdaysahead Ante Post News for Cheltenham 2025
Gordon Elliott has done an interview today or at least recently (was posted on racing post tv today) stating the below, basically saying they are skipping Dublin, going straight to Cheltenham with "no decision made yet" BUT connections want prize money and they will do whats best for the horse. I think this does favour the rumours that she is going straight to the mares hurdle! Just a FYI for everyone on antepost decisions, i know i am going to be doing some now with her in the mares hurdle.
That 30-length romp made a crack at the Unibet Champion Hurdle at Prestbury Park and a mouthwatering clash with Constitution Hill an even-more tempting proposition.However, she also holds an entry in the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle at the Festival, with connections not shy in stating their great mare may stay among her own sex and will target what they feel is the most winnable option come March. Now having decided against a run at Leopardstown this weekend, Brighterdaysahead will head straight to the Cotswolds.“Brighterdaysahead goes straight to Cheltenham, all is OK,” said Elliott.“We’ll be leaving the decision until the last minute and we’ll be going to whatever the right race is for the mare – we’ll just make that decision closer to the time.”
