2024 Triumph Hurdle (Juveniles)

[Benjy23]

Yep only 5 lengths off a classic placed horse (who likely would have gone closer had he not boiled over in the preliminaries). Trouble is he even pulled against group horses on the flat so not sure how much chance there is of getting him to settle over nh pace.

Yea, it rarely goes well when this type comes off the flat... But I still like to see it tried. Think letting him go from the front may be the right decision.

 

[Kevloaf]

I get the JP thing but I'd be surprised if he was there with the intention of getting a handicap mark. Although I fully appreciate it he's beaten that's what will be getting said. :rapture:

​​​​​​

Could win and still get put away for it ... depends what mark he already has (haven't checked)

He has to be one of the highest rated Flat horses to have run over hurdles in many a year surely?? Great to see. Will he get away with pulling like that with Cheltenham undulations though ? If he does and wins punters will be saying what a great price he was !!

Was going to say, it's one thing pulling like a train on a flat track like Huntingdon against seriously inferior opposition but he won't get away with that at Cheltenham, no chance.

Agree. If he does then he's some serious Triumph prospect. For you Betfair guys he's probably a good 'in running' bet.

 

[Benjy23]

Agreed, that's why I said it could be over in the first half a mile in the initial post.

Hopefully he goes from the front and settles better, as he seemed to when he got in front last time. Cobden keeping the ride a positive as well, in that regard.

 

[Benjy23]

Apparently he doesn't need to go from the front at all haha. He's just a really good race horse.

The mug punters get one over on the shrew French racing experts... :beguiled:​​​​​​

 

[AaronLad]

Think there might be a british triumph contender this season

 

[FinalFurlong91]

If that doesn't win ride of the season it'll be a robbery

Cobden must have a serious set of hands on him to get that horse to settle

 

[Atlantic Viking]

If he learnt to settle and jump he'd win going backwards. Just small 'ifs'... Seriously impressive engine.

 

[Bonjers]

That was quite something. Incredible the way he lengthened after the last.

Yep, looks that way.
Very impressive

 

[Quevega]

Can get 13-1 Ladbtokes which is worth taking I reckon. I have,
Jumped some hurdles really well, some not so much.
But was very impressive "against what" is the difficulty I suppose.

Likely handicappers but nice performance, onwards and upwards for backers of him at least!

That’s gone now.

 

[Carnage at Taunton]

Missed prices, will definitely be one for next double odds offer for me

 

[FinalFurlong91]

The question is will Nicholls have a runner and expect cobden to ride

Could end up with Skelton on him :boxing:

 

[Lobos]

Very impressed. Superb ride. He'll be better on better ground as well you'd think. Mullins and Gordon's to come though.

And possibly Nicky too. The question will be whether Milan Tino ran to his French form or not.

Going off the price he did I'm assuming so. The mission now is to get his mark down for the boodles you'd imagine. The winner might just have too much speed for the jumpers.
