For those that don’t know there are TWO jumps horses in training called Lossiemouth – the more famous three-time Cheltenham Festival winner and also a Polly Gundry-trained 10 year-old who sports exactly the same name – and early Sandown Park entries suggest they could go HEAD-TO-HEAD this Saturday in the Grade 2 Select Hurdle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Punters Might Get Confused As Lossiemouth and Lossiemouth Could Clash At Sandown<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Horse racing jumps fans will be familiar with the talented star mare Lossiemouth,<\/strong> who was last seen winning the Aintree Hurdle at the Grand National Meeting in early April (watch below).<\/p>\n

While before that win, the Rich Ricci-owned grey was winning at the Cheltenham Festival for the third time. When running away with the Mares’ Hurdle back in March.<\/p>\n

Trained by Willie Mullins, she’s one of the best hurdlers in training and at the age of just six still has many more big targets ahead of her.<\/p>\n

There has been talk of the Punchestown Champion Hurdle on May 2nd – however, with her trainer Willie Mullins locked in a fascinating jumps trainers title race<\/a> with Dan Skelton – she could head to Sandown on Saturday to take in the Select Hurdle.<\/p>\n

And in the process set up a class with another horse called Lossiemouth.<\/p>\n

Confused? Don’t be – as we’ll try and clear all this up below.<\/p>\n

Mullins Readies Strong Sandown Team Ahead Of Final Week In Trainers’ Title Race<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This 2m 5 1\/2f race is worth \u00a345,560 to the winner and with not a lot separating Mullins and Skelton in the prize money stakes. So this contest could easily be the difference as Mullins looks to defend his British trainers’ title that he won for the first time last season.<\/p>\n

But should the better-known Lossiemouth head to the Esher track on Saturday – punters and the best horse racing betting sites in the UK could be in for a bit of confusion as she could take on another horse with the same name.<\/p>\n

Yes, for those that don’t know, there is ANOTHER<\/strong> horse called Lossiemouth – who is trained by Polly Gundry and is four years older at 10.<\/p>\n

This 10 year-old is rated 29lbs inferior to the more-famous Lossiemouth, but on a plus has winning form at Sandown when landing the Grade 2 Winter Novices’ Stakes there back in December 2021.<\/p>\n

At this stage, Mullins also has other star names entered in the Select Hurdle – El Fabiolo, Jade De Grugy and Kitzbuhel. With the final entries for the race out on Thursday 24th April.<\/p>\n
