2024 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)

Hard to say he's ran to form there for me personally..

But yeah, will definitely be interesting if he ends up taking on say a Sir Gino once hes won on debut..

The key has to be if Milan Tino ran to form and we’ll probably never know.
 
Burdett Road has to be eyecatching performance of the weekend for me. Not forgetting the start he had at the beginning right out at the back- just aswell mind or could have been carried out like other horse.
Soon as Cobden gave a nudge down back straight to close gap with front group BR is away.
Long season to go to see if just a hype horse but very happy to get this fella on the team sheet. Interesting next run if same tactics riding cold out the back.
 
He's definitely not just a hype horse is he. He'll probably be the most talented race horse in the triumph hurdle if he lines up like, his flat rating will tell you as much. That's not to say he'll be the best juvenile hurdler that day like but he's definitely not 'hype'. He's proved his class on the flat and is now 2 from 2 over hurdles.


Always going to be the concern of how he settles. But I wouldn't have the course as a concern. Wasn't exactly stopping was he and every chance it'll be better ground for the festival.

A nice recruit from France. She's been working nicely and will run in a juvenile hurdle in the coming weeks.

Are you still ruling her out due to the trainer?
 
No I'm willing to give her the chance on her debut at least JM. Henry finding some consistent form too which he hasn't had for a while now too!
 
Made a change for a couple of bookmakers to hold a price on Kala Conti today. She beat nothing but done as well as she could have. Think 25/1 is decent enough as I imagine she could be Gordon's number one for the Triumph.

Friend of a friend is a new owner within GE's, has bought former juvenile horse Wolf Prince + more interestingly Bottler'secret...Set to start all being well at Leopardstown over xmas. Sounds like they like him + his flat form looks pretty positive indeed. One to watch out for anyway, had a quick scan of the results for the juvenile maiden at xmas + Gordie doesn't often send a star to it- unless i'm missing one or two.

BURDETT ROAD given a 133rpr for Saturday.

Five of the last six Triumph winners hit a minimum of 141 after 2 runs according to Sax's stats.

If you completely ignore his Huntingdon run and use Cheltenham as his seasonal debut then he still only ranks joint sixth of the last 9 Triumph winners/

My view - for what it's worth -is that he's a loose cannon and is very hard to access.

He's a very slick hurdler some of the time and then he'll just walk straight through one or two.

Still pulled a bit on Saturday but he seemed a lot more tractable than at Huntingdon.

And to come from off the pace in that ground on Saturday and win by so far shows he has a load of talent.

But strikes me there will always be a touch of Goshen about him.

Certainly wouldn't want the mortgage on him - but he is very much the joker in the pack.

Whilst I agree with much of this ….tbf, it’s hard for an English horse to get a high rating given the poor competition here in juveniles

I do think BR is the best Triumph hope we have had for a few years

It does look like Gordon doesn’t have much as they usually run at DR if he has a good one ….so all eyes on Willie as usual
 
I can't believe I backed Far West instead of Our Conor
Neither went off fav....

Bonus point for the name of the horse who went off fav (without checking)

The only other horse I can remember from the race was Diakarli but don't think he was the favourite?
 
I've just had a look, not going to lie I would never, ever, have got it :highly_amused:
