2025 Triumph Hurdle

Have a read of this Yosser - Fou De Toi gets a positive mention :encouragement:

I like that. That is the chap that was on LTR last week. Seems a very knowledgeable fellow. The form sounds better than i thought. Rated 130 on debut after being hampered by a faller and penned in on the rail. I'd say this is a live one. Nice work Fouroverthrutwo. Good find. I have bookmarked that site. Going to have a good muddle through that tomorrow.

The only thing I will say RE. Fou de Toi and Adam, is that he only gave the write up on him after Charly Milpied stated his excitement for the horse.

Whoever has done the scouting for the Donnelly's in the last few years hasn't got many wrong. It's an intriguing division. My most profitable race last year.
 
Not a peep. Maybe you’ll get a repeat of last years Boodles.

No chance :excitement::boxing:

Have Mulryans slowed down on purchases? Don't seem to see many from them nowadays, especially french recruits.

Naturally Nimble same connections... Not much similarity beyond that mind. But could make a decent hurdler.

JOB has an early starter for JP today as well. But doesn't seem particularly fancied.

Half sister to Zanahiyr currently fav for Elliott. Won it with Wodhooh last year and gets 17 pounds from JOBs other horse

Was going to ask plans on that horse but then looked at the ped - Too Darn Hot so didnt bother:indecisiveness:
 
Blue Lemons is going hurdling for Willie and Bloodstock. 97 rated on the flat. By a young sire, Blue Point, who’s never had a jumper. Out of a Galileo mare. It’s not clear to me if he’ll be suited to hurdles and there will be a question mark about stamina given he’s only raced over 1m. But he looks to have the class to compete in a Triumph. I’ve taken a stab at 100/1 with Paddy Power.

That’s another sprint sire progeny going hurdling. Going to be interesting how they all get on.

Another sprint sire progeny. The times are changing.

Yeah seen the mention of the Blue Point earlier too

Either the times are changing or these fuckers have no chance getting up that hill :watermelon:
