2024 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)
Collapse

It wouldn't have made a difference but I'm not sure it was the greatest ride by Cobden.
With a run away leader you don't want to be off the pace of the second group like he was, you could see he has to tap into a bit of the tank to get round the back markers at the start of the last circuit. When someone goes off like that being at the front of the chasing pack is still similar to being off the pace.
He was also holding on to BR before they came round the bend, I wonder if he should have let him stride on and get up alongside Sir Gino much earlier.
On the plus side, more experience of jumping hurdles with horses around him.
As I said, it wouldn't have changed the result today but I would still look forward to a rematch (and I say that as a back of both)

Donnellys may be wanting Mundi to wait until next year now. Put him in a bumper this season and have the Supreme favourite next year.

Win win situation with him really though.. win the DRF g1 then he's the top IRE juvenile, if he doesnt then he's a novice for next season
the Triumph. If he wins the DRF and then gets beaten in the Triumph, they’ve wasted a potential novice campaign. Well not wasted, but you know what I mean.

He didn't get 1m4f on the flat
And in a strongly run race today didn't get home
Had he kicked earlier he'd have only been beaten further imo
