NTF - The road to the 2014 Cheltenham Festival: Big Bucks is back...

Published: Thu, 01/23/14

Can Big Bucks really claim his 5th World Hurdle crown?


In the immortal words of Sir Mix-A-Lot...

"I like Big Bucks and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny... Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!), Shake those healthy reins! Bucks got back!"

Yeah that's right, Big Bucks is back on the World Hurdle trail this Saturday in the Cleeve Hurdle. 

He is now an 11yo and has been off the track for almost 14 months so is he there for the taking or will he simply saunter to his 5th World Hurdle crown unchallenged...

What do the stats say about Big Bucks?

As always I dig into some of the stats surrounding the festival race and I also take a bit of a closer look at the horse himself...


Will Big Bucks come back as strong as ever or will age have started to take it's toll?


I also have a poll in today's post that I want you ALL to take part in. It is a simple YES or NO question but I want to see what the NTF massive think...


Make sure you take part in the NTF poll
