2015 Triumph Hurdle

Has anyone mentioned Karezak for this? I have a contact who rears his head every so often with info and i've had an email today advising a bet on this horse for the Triumph and I know nothing about him, around 20/1, just wondering if anyone is read up on him, or has heard anything.

A few bits in Waynes column

Before Peace & Co

I start the day on Karezak in the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial and he has been very consistent all season in against some of the best of his age group.

He ran another very solid race at Chepstow last time in a Grade 1 where he came up against a decent horse in Bristol De Mai and has been very well and in good order since then back at home.

He wears the blinkers again and they seem to have ironed out the problem of him hanging to his left so this will be another good piece of experience for him hopefully on the way to the Cheltenham Festival.


After Peace & Co

It was another very solid run from Karezak in the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham in second behind Peace And Co, who looks very smart so he lost nothing in defeat.

The blinkers have definitely helped him on his last couple of starts and he is a good solid juvenile. He will have a freshen up now and then head straight to Cheltenham for the Triumph.

I think that race will suit him as will better ground as he has only been racing on the mud this winter. A strong gallop will carry him along in a fast-run race and with stamina on his side, the way the Triumph is run will be better than he has had so far.

He has followed all the good ones home who are short in the betting for the race and I think that Karezak at the moment looks overpriced.
 
Thanks for that OV, he sounds quite interesting doesn't he. I might try to get a cheeky bet on him by doubling him up each way with Rajdhani Express tomoz, would be a nice place pick up with both 20/1.
 
Karezak definitely the type who could run into a place In Cheltenham.
 
I've just stuck that double on, ew, 18 on RE and 20's on Karezak, not bad, place pays around 33/1, win just under 400/1, going for the place really, if RE is second tomorrow I can then think about a few quid to win on Karezak with the place taken care of, big if at this stage of course.
 
RE not running now so that leaves me with a near pointless bet on Karezak, will have to rethink that one
 
Another impressive win from Top Notch, yet another Henderson Triumph contender, owned again by Munir, didn't beat much but did it well
 
Maybe top notch is reason Daryl thought Bristol should wait for Aintree

Donn has added her :)


Petite Parisienne

Petite Parisienne put up a really nice performance to win the Gala Retail Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.

Settled back in the field by Bryan Cooper through the early stages of the race, the Gigginstown filly made nice progress around the outside to move in behind Kalkir at the second last flight. She tracked the Willie Mullins horse into the home straight, picked up impressively to join him on the run to the last, jumped that obstacle well and battled on well up the run-in to get home by two lengths.

The fact that the 40/1 shot Prussian Eagle finished a close-up third may hold the form back a little in many people’s eyes, but Charles O’Brien’s horse is progressive and this was a career-best from him on the fastest ground that he has encountered over hurdles. Also, the front three pulled miles clear, and the winning time was good, the fastest comparative time on a top class day’s racing, almost three seconds faster than the handicap hurdle and almost bang on Racing Post par.

A winner and a close-up third in a listed race over a mile and a half on the flat for Jean-Claude Rouget, this was just the Montmartre filly’s second run over hurdles for Willie Mullins. She probably should have won on her debut too at Punchestown, she just allowed another Gigginstown horse, Chatham House Rule, too much leeway in front and she couldn’t reel him in. She had that horse well behind her on Sunday.

The Spring Juvnenile Hurdle is an excellent pointer to the Triumph Hurdle, having produced the last three winners, Countrywide Flame, Our Conor and Tiger Roll. Petite Parisienne is a leading player in the Triumph Hurdle now. She showed battling qualities on Sunday that should stand to her at Cheltenham and she handled the better ground well. Fillies have a good record in the Triumph Hurdle from minimal representation, and she should progress again for Sunday’s experience.

Surely got to be one more horse out this who we havnt seen yet. Usually is in this race.
 
Might be worth a £5 each way on him at 33 before entries are out tomorrow for the Adonis. Me tip worked with Mullins odds as shrunk.

Surprised Henderson got another 1 he has 3 already at top of the market.
 
The ratings are interesting with Top Notch, who I'm sure won't run in this, being 11 lbs behind P & C on the OR's, it could be that this one is the good thing that we are all looking for but, because it's the Triumph hurdle and favs rarely win, we are over thinking the race, time will tell I suppose.

He was very disappointed with Bivouac after Peace & Co race at Cheltenham. Devilment could be an improver. Skeltons horse was rated 86 on the flat so might be interesting. He shown he has a good way with them this year.

No I think your in good shape if you have backed Peace and Co, real class. I think Hargam is capable of beating Peace and Co but will need good ground to have a chance of doing so.
