2023 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)

[Faugheen_Machine]

At least that puts to bed the nonsense of Gala M going to the Boodles

Willie absolutely slamming Paul Townend here

Never seen a trainer absolutely furious just after winning a grade 1 before

[Kevloaf]

Hardly surprising

He's lost his Boodles horse in the process

Haha, I didn't reply to that earlier as I had literally nothing nice to say about it

[ComplyOrDie]

It does, and Willie is livid about it

He did say he expected Lossiemouth to have an easy race today.... quite confident


At least she'll be a price for a bit now, she'd have gone odds on and we don't want that....

Exactly. I can't imagine that has burnt many fingers, and if it has those fingers will be getting a better price about her now!

What did he say?

[Kevloaf]

What did he say?

That he should not have given her such a hard race ... what was the point in slapping her .... better to have gone hands and heels ..... hope it hasn't taken it out of her with a view to the Triumph



Not word for word but that was the gist.




Sour grapes from Ricci as well ..... I think they'll reverse it in March FWIW.

[Sprinter Sacre]

With it being her second race of the season I backed Gala Marceau today with a cover bet for 2 places thinking she could overturn the result from Christmas – obviously got very lucky with Lossiemouth - she's clearly got the bigger engine - but glad I've got them both + Blood Destiny covered for March.

[Lobos]

Lossiemouth looked unlucky but don't think reversing the result with the winner will be that easy. GM pulled like mental for most of the race but still had plenty at the end. Hard to split the two but thankfully on them both early doors so happy to see either win. Both had hard races though so that could have an impact come March and others may benefit.

I really like Gala Marceau, like I said she would be Willie's Triumph horse but I'm still very much believing it is between Lossiemouth & Blood Destiny now.

I think Lossiemouth wins that by at least 5 lengths or more if she hadn't been impeded.

[Kevloaf]

I can't shake Willie blurting out that he thought Lossiemouth would get an easy race today.

I like her more now after being beaten than I did before the race.



That can't be smart, and not likely to 'go in' again but it did feel telling about his pecking order. Which is probably 99% conjecture on my part.

Thoughts on Blood Destiny mate?

I know you was pretty impressed LTO, straight after the race, and the form lines through Nusret have him extremely close with Lossiemouth.

Super impressed with Blood Destiny. If they'd have taken a chance ont he price I'd be going crazy talking it up as an each way bet to nothing.... but they went about right.

Ultimately, when a horse hasn't been seen in a battle, I refuse to go overboard...

Yeah, fair enough mate

I think the thing that struck me, and I haven't done the sectionals, but was the way they came back to him then he scooted clear again like he had just started the race.

Like you, I'd like to see him in a battle, but think he could just be a proper talent.
