Triumph Hurdle 2021

[Pendil]

Thanks guys, I should have gone in right away and cashed for profit. B365 have now caught it and cash out not available

[PresentingPercy]

I can't help but wonder if Solo's performance last year in the race and subsequent poor form has also played into that decision. He has looked a shadow of what he produced on UK debut, he was one they highly regarded at the time and maybe feel the race set him back.

Do you know if we can trust the twitter source

Sorry Pendil, was on a work call and only seeing this now when its too late.

Thanks KSS for getting it out there, my own fault in not reacting quicker

[Run4Home]

Nice win today

Given the profile of the horse and Nicholls comments earlier in the season wouldn't be inclined to back as I think there is a good chance won't be a horse he runs at Cheltenham

I guess PN was true to his word months back!

Quilixios, Youmdor & Autumn Evening all with entries on 16th Jan at Fairyhouse (12.30 race)

[Bonjers]

Tritonic ready to go and is being aimed at two starts, inc the Adonis, before a Triumph spin.

No Quilixios (perhaps something to do with Elliott being out of form but wanting to get a run into Teahupoo?) but a white hot contest nevertheless.

Done a preview here if anybody is interested.

Kotkjet.

Thanks for the latest update on this Juvenile division, as always enlightening and useful.

[Rooster Booster]

Kotkijet...kind of in awe of your knowledge here. Do you have a view on Josh D’id running at Fairyhouse tomorrow?

Daniela Mele has supplied just one horse to the division thus far in the fairly useful Stratagem, and Josh d'Id could be another useful recruit. His sole run to date came in an ordinary conditions event at Saint Brieuc in mid November. Initially steady and untidy at his jumps, he lost his prominent position along the back of the second circuit. However, his jumping improved by the time they reached the final lap and he pursued the clear leader before taking his place on the turn for home. From there, he did not have to be ridden hard and though he was green, he ran out a comfortable twelve length winner. Being a race of its nature at a provincial venue, it probably took little winning. Nevertheless, the runner-up had previously been beaten a shorter distance by Houx Gris at Auteuil, and the thirty-eight length fourth won next time at Nantes. Sire Joshua Tree is on his second crop in the division and though he has yet to be tested in Britain or Ireland, he has done well in France thus far and already has a listed winner to his name. The immediate damline has only minor winners, but leading juvenile Don Lino appears at 4/2, with useful sorts Olofi and Gumball at 4/3. Gavin Cromwell has a healthy winners to runners rate of 25% although he is without a win from eighteen runs this term and his recent form is modest. Nevertheless, Josh d'Id is clearly held in some regard as he is entered for the Spring Juvenile, a race the trainer has had just three runners in Jer's Girl, Espoir d'Allen, and Wolf Prince who won this contest last season. Incidentally, he is also the only JP McManus owned horse who holds an entry. A compelling recruit to the division, Josh d'Id would be a most compelling contender in any ordinary contest. However, this is a strong race of its type and while his immaturity last time is not a major concern, the form of his stable tempers enthusiasm. Furthermore, the contest he won in France was run over eighteen furlongs which would not be conducive to elucidating the suitability of a sharp venue like Fairyhouse.

Many thanks Kotkijet and apologies for not finding it originally.

Interesting that Ruby, without prompting, mentioned Youmdor potentially putting himself in the Triumph picture tomorrow when talking on the Road to Cheltenham

Looks to have a serious engine but will have to jump a lot better to have any Triumph aspirations.

Agreed. Very possible though. Will be an interesting race to watch at lunchtime tomorrow.
