Triumph Hurdle 2021

[Run4Home]

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

Unfortunately costs his the jumping again after actually going well early on.
looks a serious prospect though if he can sort it out

Shame really - he was travelling all over the eventual winner.

Very interesting to see.... you wouldn't say Teapuhoo was definitely beaten there? While Paul was going best, he'd have been off the bridle after that last and the winner seemed to be responding

On both, but wouldn't say it was a certain win for Youmdor? Wonder what the bookies will do.

Youmdor matched at 1/33 in running for 1100

[Run4Home]

I thought he had him well covered to be honest

[Kotkijet]

Thankfully, he got up OK and was carefree when playing with Merry Poppins after Rachael Blackmore got hold of him so I don't imagine he will be too hurt by the experience.

Have only seen it once as it happened, but although it wasn't a brilliant jump at the last, did he land on a false patch of ground? Quite sure I saw a large strip of turf fly up as he landed.

edit - FWIW, I probably would have had Youmdor about seven to two on at the last. Won on the bridle at Gowran as well and Teahupoo isn't shy of a battle but Youmdor was going very strongly.

Hard to take that fall and chances are he would have won, but we will never know. Wonder if they will find an egg and spoon for him now as we dont want him going there on a back of a fall.

Nice run by Autumn Evening ready for the Boodles

Matched at 1.03 in running before the last (just saw your edit)

Definitely wasn't a 1.03 even if he jumped it.

I think people might get carried away there...

Hopefully Teahupoo gets another run and runs in the Boodles though, well in.

Thats just what I was thinking. Even if youmdor had got the better of him after the last, it still would have been a very nice run from teahupoo. Its easy to focus too much on the fall, but that was only the second run of teahupoos life and first run for elliott, and he jumped well and was putting it up to youmdor, who has had a lot more runs than teahupoo. I backed both of them last night with the idea of cashing out the loser but now im unsure

[Eggs]

....Youmdor a best priced 18-1 for this, Teahupoo 16-1 Boodles.

Buckled on landing, the strip of turf was his attempted second stride after the last

[Lobos]

None of those will be troubling the judge in the Triumph. Just top up on Gordon's big 3 every week until the Fez.

I wouldn't cash either.

Might go to the DRF next?

[Redbridge]

I see that French Aseel is entered in the Spring Juvenile under new ownership, I wonder which is WM first choice.

[Craigy14]

Youmdor looks to have a serious engine.

He was pulling a fair bit as well until the race got going at the 6f pole.

I wouldn’t disregard him at all, may even back him now nrnb.

Mullins won it last year with a horse who couldn’t jump, so although he’s fallen today it wouldn’t worry me come March.

Edit - unless he fell on his next run then obviously that would be a concern
