Foxhunters 2019

The winner of that race today? He's not qualified as of yet.

I think he is qualified Scooby

These are the conditions:

which, are qualified to run in Hunters' Steeple Chases
under Rule (F)41 and which, since October 1st, 2016,
and before February 25th, 2019, have been placed FIRST OR
SECOND ON TWO OCCASIONS in a hunters' steeple chase in Great
Britain or Ireland OR have WON TWO OPEN STEEPLE CHASES at
Point-to-Point Meetings (i.e. Gentlemens, Ladies or Mixed Open
Races) in Great Britain or Irelan
d OR have WON ONE OPEN STEEPLE
CHASE at a Point-to-Point Meeting in Great Britain or Ireland and
have been placed FIRST or SECOND in a hunters' steeple chase

Fenno's Storm won two Open PTP's in April and May last year (as well as yesterday) so appears to be qualified.

Would
April / May last year count?

Because previous winners ie salsify failed to qualify even though hed won the previous year...

Looks like it's been charged since.

First time post. I joined as there are far more knowledgeable people on here than me. My question is Fagan appears in most bookies lists. He hasn't run since last April as far as I can see. Does he even qualify?

Good question. You made me go back and check! Salsify ran in 2011,2012,(won) 2013 (won),2015 and 2017. I think he may may have been injured in 2014 as he didn't run between December 2013 and February 2015. For 2016 the equivalent dates would have been 'which, since October 1st, 2013,
and before February xxth, 2016, have been placed FIRST OR SECOND .......'

Salsify had won at Cheltenham in March 2013 and again at Punchestown in April 2013 but had not been placed first and second since.

Thankyou very much.
 
Anyone got any trainer comments regard his spring targets? Does his form go deeper than just yesterday’s win?

No and yes. He's had a runner every year with his son riding. None with the form of this feller
 
That’s surely a tip in itself.. worth a point at 20s with 365 till any further news breaks

Sorry Ribocco , I don't know the answer to your question , I'd say Scooby might know ??.

He has never run in a PTP or Hunter's chase. He needs to have run in at least two before 25th February. He needs to either a) win two Open PTP'S. b) finish 1st or 2nd in two Hunter chases or c) have won one Open PTP and been 1st or 2nd in Hunter chase. Any of these would qualify him. Time is running out.
