Triumph Hurdle 2021

[Outlaw]

I didn't even look at the cards as I rarely find festival winners at Fontwell. However, is it just the loose connection with Goshen that makes him appealing or is there some substance there too?

Too early to say but the ease of it coupled with the speed figure he would of won the C3 hcap hurdle on the card yday.

I'll try and delve a little deeper

Kotkijet knows his onions when it comes to juveniles but I'm not about to hand him my bank to select my horses for me - I like my losers to be selected by myself

That's a fair point Jackie. I'm much the same.

I'll write up the splits & conpartives tonight if you want? Got them saved into Kinovea but won't be until this evening.

Might even do it vs Goshens Fontwell facile victory last year albeit different ground & marginally different yardage even thou different days is of little actual use.

Substance, is what I've been told.

Same owner who has Botox Has, who I was told would have been Triumph bound if it wasn't for Goshen. Nassalam finished not far behind Hemevoici on hurdles debut in France, who then ran in a race that has produced the best Juvenile in France so far this season, Theleme. Nassalam has the potential to be very very good, whether Goshen level, I'm honestly not sure, but I believe the yard think so.

On the breeding side he's by the sire of Botox Has, but also Klassical Dream (festival winner), and his Dams Sire produced progeny like festival winners, Annie Power and Minella Rocco, which would add weight to his staying ability, usually required for a Triumph.

Also worth noting his time yesterday was less than 6 seconds slower than Goshen last season, racing on 'Heavy' as opposed to 'Soft' ground that Goshen encountered.

It's very early days, and I don't think he had an awful lot to beat, though Shentri, of Dan Skeltons, was very much more experienced and a multiple winner in France.

Everything angle is good to have

Sounds like a good thing to me. Juice in that 25/1

I thought Nassalam would be more a Boodles horse than Triumph. I think the connection with Goshen apart from same trainer is that the race at Fontwell was Goshen’s first race for Gary Moore? I’m sure that was mentioned by the race commentator mid race

[Run4Home]

All I have backed in the Triumph is Quilixios

Of the rest the main ones thinking of backing , depending on entries etc would be

• Heross Du Seuil
• Saint Sam
• Bring on the Night

He could also end up there depending how his racing goes from here on out. I just know he is thought very highly of. It was Goshens first run over hurdles for Gary, as it was Nassalams, but I wouldn't read too much into all of that. Comparing one with the other is unfair, and not a logical way to backing a horse.

Bring On The Night could be one that he aims high on debut and if he doesn't win, retain his novice status for next season.

BRING ON THE NIGHT
He's a three-year-old that we got from Andre Fabre earlier in the season. He's a nice type of horse that I think we'll only bring out in the second half of the season.

Coming out in the second half of the season is no major issue I guess. Pentland Hills won the Triumph after only appearing over hurdles for the first time in February

The one point on Heross is Hendo has said may run in bumpers, so would await an entry first
