Triumph Hurdle 2019

You'd be crazy to cash the 40/1 out now. He'll still be entered in the triumph until the 5 day stage so I'd be waiting if I was in your enviable position.

You are right. Tbh 365 will probably still offer a cash out after they say he goes supreme
 
Do we think fakir May go elsewhere then ? Due to Sir Etic no doubt... Run then both.. Fantastic chance of a win for JOB

At the moment they're more likely to aim them both here, and see how the land lies the week before.

If something looks incredible in the Supreme, they may not want to take it on...

Joseph might win the Adonis with another of his, and have yet another dart for this...


I wouldn't play Fakir without NRNB now though
 
If JP has bought him it wont be Joseph's decision.
 
Can a colt run in all races at the festival excluding mares races obviously or is it just certain ones.

Entires can run in any non mares only race as far as I know, though rarely are they risked especially over fences...

An RPR of 147 has got to be bonkers. I don't see how you can get a rating that high till you go outside of juvenile company

He would be an interesting outsider poke, but competing for 2nd fav NRNB - no thanks

Yeha, they seem to get the ratings wrong across the board year after year but it doesn't change.

He'd get the 8lbs, so it comes down to what you actually think his rating is...

I'd want to see him do it again tbh Kev, I struggle to form an opinion based on one run where the fav didn't appear to show up

It's not like he has proven ability from France either

At 16 or 20/1 he'd be an interesting outsider in a Supreme but unfortunately the hype train has got him now
 
Picture up on Nicholls twitter this morning of Pic working with Bryony .... quick recovery then .
 
Just seen it. Pictures of him schooling. With a wee thumbs up to a tweeter saying the horse is the apple of his eye lol.

Saw that, lovely stuff. HD mentioning him along with pics and comments like that from PN has to leave anyone fairly confident he is well and it’s all systems go for the triumph.

Would be nice, hope so. And good to see.
 
Let’s just hope Nicholls can get him to run to his French form and not replicate My Way
