Triumph Hurdle 2020

[Scooby91]

I’d be worried about Micro Manage now. The RP stable tour was very comprehensive and none of the main protagonists were missed off. No mention of Micro Manage at all..

I'm pretty sure he was mentioned in the irish field as had a fracture and hoped to get him back, so either way deffinately not a positive

[FaugheenTheMachine]

Got a fracture in June and they hoped he be back after Christmas last update we had

Statistically it’s very possible for the Triumph winner to be able to emerge from a first run or two in Jan/Feb to win the race, so a late start is not a negative for this race.

However I am not sure any late starting Novice Hurdler or Novice Chaser should be seen as a positive for a Festival win at their new discipline in any of the Festival Novice races.

Pentland Hills being a good and recent example. I tend to ignore the race myself and trust the judgement of others on here well enough to have the odd poke at something when the case is made but generally keep my powder dry for the reason you state.

On a slightly different note, does anyone know if JOB has anything of note coming off the flat for this?

His stable tours did not reveal anything although I've not dug any deeper than that. Sometimes it's not always the highest rated flat horse that proves best either and they seem to be more fragile too.

A couple to keep an eye on whether this year or the next, brought by Willie and PB Bloodstock today from the Arqana sales, Ganapathi & Gaillard Du Mesnil. Not much other information than that as of yet, but possible Supreme horses if not Triumph this season.

An early, big priced fancy of mine.

The Olympian
3g Olympic Glory - Basira
JP McManus
221- (Flat)
RPR 84f

Interesting prospect for juvenile hurdles. He is lightly raced on the Flat, a 10f maiden winner at Newmarket as a two-year-old, and I’d expect him to improve with experience over hurdles. Is not too far off a run.

What do you make of the 3yo race at 1307 - Compiegne today Scooby? Garfield running 7/1 at minute?

[ComplyOrDie]

Collateral form would have Garfield beat by Chaptal today, but obviously being unbeaten he could improve plenty further yet.

Chaptal & Falstaff the two that interest me at the minute.

Sorry, I'm not Scooby, but my thoughts anyway.

Very strong race, that's the strongest juvenile race all season in france. If I could have a free bet, I'd couple falstaff and garfield both EW at 7s.
There could be a superstar in there somewhere though.

Thanks Scooby

Chaptal done that nicely, staying really well to the line, beating Garfield in the process!

Well Done COD, I just had Garfield to place so happy

Thanks Paz, nice one on your winning bet too

It means more funds to waste on the festival now
