Can someone put up a summary of the OJA thoughts on juveniles please...

The following are in the top 40 prospects:

In My Teens
Manlaga
Narciso Has
Proactif

High praise for all them 4

bit on unraced Ricci Juve ...

KARAK DE FAUST (FR) 3 b f Zarak (FR) – Katkobella (FR) From the family of Grade 1 winner Kotkikova, Willie (Mullins) and Harold (Kirk) were keen on her at the Goffs Arkle Sale in June. She possesses a real National Hunt pedigree and, all being well, she will make her debut in a bumper in the spring.

Others for Rich..

MANITA (FR) 3 gr f Moises Has (FR) – Mastermambo (IRE) Another daughter of Moises Has, she is a fine looking filly. Previously trained by Yannick Fouin, who supplied us with Lossiemouth and Min, she finished runner-up in a conditions hurdle at Auteuil in March. It looked a strong contest with the winner (Manlaga) being subsequently bought by J.P.(McManus) and has joined Nicky Henderson. She is hopefully one to look forward to in juvenile hurdles.

MADNESS D’ELLE (FR) 3 b g Moises Has (FR) – Voulay (FR) One of two three year olds we have acquired from France by Moises Has, he finished third on his hurdles debut at Auteuil in May when trained by Daniela Mele. Beaten around six lengths, the form looks solid with the winner (Shannon Maestro) finishing runner-up in a Listed event next time. I would imagine Willie (Mullins) will look to run him in a juvenile hurdle around Christmas time.

The FR revolution section with James Reveley mentions most the juves bought

Bertutea, Dschingis desire, Blue Seabhac, Gold Cast, Kai Lung, Kaldoun des rocs, Limier d'arthel, Macao, Macktoad, Madness d'elle, Mange tout, Majolique, Manita, Manoir de mirande, Marco du seuil, Mille et une vies, milpat, mino des mottes, mode avion, mont star, nightmare has, precious man, parchment, pourquoi pas papa, senator, shinago theysss, thewoodcorner, zekret

Hopefully mine has dropped on the mat whilst I am sat here in the canteen slurping my coffee. Nice to know that about Karak De Faust about only coming out in the spring. I had that one down in the bumper section. Maybe more one for the Irish bumpers after Cheltenham.

Thanks again.
Look like the DM feature for me has disappeared, maybe when the update took place ?
I've already backed the horse but it would be good to see what is said about Manlaga - much appreciated.

@Kevloaf anyone else mentioned this ?

MANLAGA (IRE) 3 b f Maxios – Tornada (FR) (Ballingarry (IRE)) OWNER: J.P.McMANUS TRAINER: Nicky HENDERSON. Lambourn, Berkshire. CAREER FORM FIGURES: 1 CAREER WIN: 2025: Mar AUTEUIL Heavy Hdle 1m 7f Nicky Henderson has won the Triumph Hurdle on a record breaking seven occasions. However, the Seven Barrows team haven’t had much good fortune in the Grade 1 event during the last couple of years. The unbeaten Sir Gino was denied the opportunity to line up when ante-post favourite in 2024, while stablemate and compatriot Lulamba was headed in the shadows of the post by 100/1 hurdling debutant Poniros last spring. Granted better luck, the tide could turn next March following the acquisition of another French three year old, Manlaga, who was purchased by J.P.McManus following her impressive win at Auteuil in March. The Prix Auricula is the first race of the season over hurdles for three year old fillies at the Parisian track. Trained by Marcel Rolland, who also handled another good mare, dual Grade 2 winner Allegorie De Vassy (in foal to the now deceased Jukebox Jury), she was a €35,000 foal and is a halfsister to Venetia Williams’ 141 rated chaser Martator. Fitted with a hood and tongue tie, she faced eleven opponents and was ridden by Ludovic Philipperon. Racing enthusiastically on the outside, she was positioned in midfield before moving up towards the end of the backstraight. Still in fourth jumping the final flight, Manlaga picked up strongly to lead on the run-in before bounding clear to score by three lengths. The fourth (Olga De Kiev), who was beaten eight lengths, has won at Grade 3 level since. The fifth and sixth have also won subsequently. Two fillies, namely Burning Victory (2020) and Lossiemouth (2023), have won the Triumph Hurdle during the last six years and Manlaga could make it three next spring. J.P.McManus and Nicky Henderson have been responsible for some top-class hurdlers over the years, including Binocular, Buveur D’Air, Epatante and My Tent Or Yours. They may have unearthed another one.

POINTS TO NOTE: Probable Best Distance Preferred Going - - 2 miles Good/Soft Reveley’s Remarks: “The Prix Auricula is always a very good race and the form is strong. I rode Action Du Berlais, who is a nice horse, and we were beaten a fair way.”

If someone has an issue with it I'm sure they'll voice their concerns.

Otherwise don't see the problem myself, unless people who bought it don't want others getting it for free?

If anyone doesn't have it, give us a shout

I only mentioned it as this has come up before and I’m pretty sure Kev et al said we shouldn’t be posting or sharing stuff like this that’s a bought service, if I’m wrong apologies.

Don’t care myself others seeing it was more the fact it’s being shared on the open forum.

According to the below they have bought Prix Pride of Kildare winner Macho Man, 3yo.

The book is about £10. I would imagine the author puts in a lot of effort and research. If we want him to keep producing the book then it’s probably best that people buy it. I’m not looking for a big debate but FWIW I think most people can afford £10.

I get what your saying, its only a couple quotes ive shared on here, not the end of the world.

No doubt the quotes are already plastered all over twitter already, not something that can really be policed.

And where do you draw the line, RP tours always posted up on here, I'd say many are thankful for them

Posts on this forum May drive custom for the publication. I always purchase and stack by the toilet. Often they throw up a few winners for the festival in a couple of years time.

As posted in my Diary,


Charme De Faust - Triumph Hurdle - 50/1

Reasoning:
Given a very educational ride through the Prix Finot, this Goliath Du Berlais filly settled at the back of the field throughout the majority of the race and was steady enough at her hurdles whilst edging out a touch right but warmed up nicely as they went out on their final circuit. Down the backstraight, the ultra impressive Maskina got to the front and was probably the guts of 15L ahead of Charme De Faust at this stage and wasn't for catching but rounding the home turn Felix deGiles was still sitting quiet enough on the filly and only went after her at the 2nd last. She made a horror mistake at the last but still swiftly got on top of the eventual 3rd and 4th horse.

On finding out she was exported this morning I did some side-by-side time comparisons of the boys and girls race, and from the jumping the 1st hurdle down the back straight at the same time (Charme De Faust & Proactif) the below picture shows how they finished which is pretty much side by side. This was off level weights (CDF will get the fillys 7lb allowance in the future) and taking into account the horlicks of a blunder at the last, she was definitely good value @ 50/1 w/ cashout taking into account Proactif is ~12/1.
