2015 Triumph Hurdle

[loveracing]

I'm a very, very recreational bettor (sp), and only bet in pretty moderate stakes, but over the last few years I've really gotten into the sport, and love the jumps festivals.

I looked at the Betfair forum, and whilst there are some interesting posters, it just seems to be people abusing each other on the most part.

I'm rambling now, so thanks, and good luck to yourself, too

Never heard of the forum you mentioned above.

One thing about the BFF is it seems a lot busier than here. We need to somehow get this place rocking.

Couldn't find a new member thread, so I'll say hi here

Very informative, and friendly forum, guys, congrats!




In the same boat, but the other way around... I've got Hargam at 20s and 14s.

Managed to get P&C in a double with Un De Sceaux right after P&C's last win, but just before Boylesports cut him.


Hopefully one of us gets paid anyway, so gl.

I hope one of us gets paid too, in fact I hope it's me,,,, lol

This usually happens when you have a big fancy and a hefty bet on the horse. I had a dream that RTR won the GC, lol.

I can see Ap winning 2 or 3 races on the Friday.

I have those dreams too but rihanna or Shakira are usually riding the horse, and they're not wearing much, might not win the race but it sure puts a smile on my face

Haha, very busy, but not as much legible content.

I'm sure this place will be rocking come March!

I'd settle for either horse winning the Triumph, so no probs...

Elliott sending most of his to the Fred Winter.

Donn McClean likes the filly too

neither with the market’s choice. Petite Parisienne surprised a few people when she landed the curtain-raiser, the Gala Retail Spring Juvenile Hurdle, but not everyone. Strong in the market beforehand, she was a little out to her right at a couple of her obstacles, but she picked up nicely in the home straight, and she stayed on really well to get the better of her better-fancied stable companion Kalkir on the run-in.

This race has been a really good pointer to the JCB Triumph Hurdle in recent years. Unaccompanied won the race in 2011 before going on to finish second to Zarkandar in the Triumph. Countrywide Flame finished third in the Spring Hurdle in 2012 before going on to win the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham, where he was chased home by Spring Hurdle winner Hisaabaat.

In 2013, Our Conor completed the double, winning both the Spring Hurdle and running out the most impressive winner of the Triumph that you had seen in your life, with Diakali, runner-up in the Spring Hurdle, finishing fourth. Then last year, Tiger Roll, second in the Spring Hurdle, won the Triumph while Guitar Pete, winner of the Spring Hurdle, finished third in the Triumph.

There is a sense that this year’s Spring Hurdle form is held back a little by Prussian Eagle, who was beaten a total of just about four lengths into fourth place. Admittedly, Prussian Eagle looked a little exposed going into the race, a 66-rated horse on the Flat on turf who had run five times over hurdles and had won just once. However, he has progressed with each of his runs over hurdles, and Sunday's run was a career-best.

The time was really good, the fastest comparative time on the day, and Kalkir was really highly regarded going into the race. Add that to the fact that this was just the Montmartre filly’s second run over hurdles, that she will probably progress for it, and she deserves her new-found position towards the head of the Triumph Hurdle market.
