Triumph Hurdle 2018

Backed a few.

Espoir d'allen 33s
Malaya 33s (still hold hope)
Gumball 33s (after beating Malaya)
Melody of Scotland 40s
Stormy ireland 40s (mullins)
Demopolis 33s
Apple's shakira 33/1

Add in act of valour 40/1.
A couple of dudds but look pretty decent book.
 
Anyone fancy je suis charlie today the trainer saddled the 2nd behind act of valour last time and reaposses today with je suis charlie. Whether he thinks he has a chance or knew the race would cut up for prize money in not sure.
 
Act of valour went out like a light.. very disappointing

Very disappointing seemed too bad to be true. But would have helped if there was something in the race from last time.
No excuses though.
 
Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Hope to be a contributor from now and thought this was a good place to start just to say cheers to Scooby for the insight on the Juvenile Hurdlers. That was a cracking performance by Stormy Ireland today in what is always an exciting division leading up to the Triumph. Look forward to seeing a few of the others out in the coming weeks to make this less of a one-sided market!

Style de garde now entered up for henderson
He has superior form to we have a dream who was well held in France by many of the horses waiting to come out.

Welcome VF :encouragement:

I am surprised Stormy Island not shorter... the Triumph is such a specific and quite limited set of parameters in terms of what horses will be able to run and where you can get information from, completely agree with you about scooby who seems to have this all covered which is invaluable for plenty of people (myself included) who don't put much effort in to this race above and beyond what is reported in the usual racing media...
 
We Have a Dream was so impressive yesterday. Loved the way he traveled through his race, he looked very professional. I might have to have some of him along with my other hope Espoir Dallen.
 
Agreed Doc . W.H.A.D repelled all attackers nicely there .

If henderson dosent have better than we have a dream at home I'd be shocked. He stayed on well in France and caught the eye but well held on milultiple starts By
style de garde/ sao/ Demopolis / melody of scotland and others. And they are 5 times the price. Stle de garde deffinately one to watch in the week. Henderson was crying at the start of the season that he only had 2 juveniles and no chance he'll win the triumph so highclere went out and paid big bucks for style de garde who finished well in front of we have a dream before winning his next contest easily

Scooby,
Be ready to be shocked. I'll bet we've seen the triumph winner already. As with the last five winners all out by December. If you fancy a wager on that I'm up for it. Over to you....

What price will you give me. There's 5 good ones not out all above 33/1 .
Melody of scotland
Demopolis
Style de garde
Saldier.
Sao
Also stormy ireland was only out yesterday.
I'd also place a bet on style de garde who's 40/1 finishing in front of we have a dream currently 8/1. Evens would be harsh.

Scooby,
Its a simple bet. Im saying as of yesterday we've seen the triumph winner already. if you disagree lets have a wager.
As you've got all these brilliant horses to come out shall we say £100?

So you want the whole book apart from 5 33/1 - 50/1 shots for even money :highly_amused:

You've been telling us that we haven't seen the winner race yet. All those good things yet to show their hand. If you're that confident have the wager. Ive stuck my neck out. Your call.

Hardly sticking your neck out saying 90% of the book can win. Did I say the winner hasn't been out yet? I'd be hoping iv already backed the winner. Ehat I did say was there was strong hands still to come out. Stormy ireland as you seen yesterday was one if the ones I mentioned. When demopolis comes out if that's in January does that mean he can't win because the stats say so.? It makes no difference imo whether he comes out last week or in a month if he's good enough he's good enough.

Style de garde runs next week. What difference woild it have made if he came out and won midweek the previous week?

Plenty yet to come out. Might see 1 or 2 this weekend at Doncaster or Cheltenham. Id personally have espoir d'allen over Apple's shakira assuming she went triumph. But just to reiterate we haven't seen 25% of the triumph horses out yet.

So I've got a little over 25% and you can have the rest. Im happy with those odds. Shall we say £100?
