2024 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)

[Carnage at Taunton]

Who's spending 400k and sending it to greatrex??

I was thinking similar, seems a tad strange

[That Horse]

Yes and specifically that they may bypass the Triumph for the MNH at Fairyhouse

Might change that now seeing as they didn't reacquire Mighty Bandit. Jack Kennedy would need a ride it seems for the triumph unless Wodhooh is their number one

Naas entries for the juvenile race aka boodles winner race are up for Saturday. 4 of the last 5 winners have come from this race. 3 won it with the exception being jazzy last year finishing 4th. Obviously Lark in the Mornin been well touted and would have to respect both of Elliot’s

I like Joseph’s other one for the Boodles, ran Woodhoh close so if he’s declared might have to pull the trigger.

Edit - Cossack Chach, was 6th in the Xmas Grade 1 as well.

Yea was giving woodhoh 3lbs too. Joseph went this route with band of outlaws, could be a good shout

Burdett Road looks like he's out of the Triumph...if the exchanges are to be believed.

He's been weak and like that for a few days now, so was Kargese.
Someones been keen to lay everything except Sir Gino.
But his movements look most ominous.

All fine according to ATR

Given why James was asked to leave John Fergusons yard all those years ago, this exchange stuff for Burdett Road is......interesting.

Paddy Power trimmed Salver’s odds for the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham to 10-1 from 14-1, while he is 8-1 from 12-1 with the same firm for the Boodles.

However, Moore junior revealed his Festival participation will be ground dependent.

“I think he will only be going there if it is soft or worse than soft. You’d definitely want to be seeing soft in the going description anyway,” he added.

“If it’s a good ground Triumph I can’t see him running there. It’s quite a big occasion for a young horse, there’s Aintree afterwards and you’ve got the option of France as well.

“There’s lots of options and we wouldn’t be in a rush to make any decisions. He’s a nice horse

….to me, it doesn’t sound like ‘Lark’ is certain to run in The Boodles;

Ground permitting, Banbridge will captain O'Brien's team at the festival next month, and he has some decent chances elsewhere, none more so than Lark In The Mornin who is currently favourite for the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle.

He has been a late non-runner on three occasions in recent weeks, most recently at Gowran Park on Saturday, and O'Brien remains keen to get another run into him before the spring festivals.

He said: "Lark In The Mornin has a few different options and his next run will tell us more about him. He could still run in the Triumph, or he could stay at home too, but I would like to get another run into him soon and then make a plan from there.

"We wanted to run at Gowran on Saturday, but the ground was officially heavy and it looked even heavier than that, so we decided the best thing for the horse was not to run."

I'd say thats Joseph being coy myself. He didnt enter him in that Hcap for no reason and I was told the Boodles was the plan (albeit prior to his 3 withdrawals) but no doubt IF he can get into the race, he'll be in IMO.

[Silverbirch]

I have him covered but Sir Gino is awfully short isn't he. He's rightly favourite but 8/11 is a pretty horrendous price, he's shorter than GDC is for the gold cup - mental.

Lets be honest, he's smashed Burdett Road, but that IMO doesn't warrant 8/11.
Id love nothing more than him to win btw but 8/11 stinks

Does sound like he wanted to get another run in though doesn't it. That must be a negative if he does turn up.
