Triumph Hurdle 2019

Just got in from Rasen today first time there and seen this Adjali. very easy well done fellas, i noticed Dan Skelton walking down into winners enclosure first thing he did was to shake Jacobs hand and say good horse that etc. Skeltons runner was breathing very very heavily after that but you could see he was disappointed i reckon he fancied his today a fair bit.
 
Onwards and upwards, think how good he will be on Chepstows stiff galloping track!!! lol
Big result today phew!

Did the money come for Skelton's horse in particular, or was Adjali just weak in general?
 
Adjali was 8/11 at around 10am then drifted to 11/10 about 15 mins before. Late money came and went off 4/5
 
Interesting race on Tuesday at fontwell. You've got fusil raffles who's a good horse, giving away a 7 pound penalty. But you've also got Fresno emery who's representing the form of FARID who he was 3rd behind last time. If they both run, will be an interesting contest.

with Fresno emery being in a small yard I might have a small few quid ew should he open up too big.

This has probably got a bit lost with the Adjali win but does anyone think the Skelton horse could be one for the FW. Had a mark of 127 before today likely to drop I'd imagine. Would appear Skelton had his eyes on this and then a decent race around Christmas time. With the huge market support, I think he might be one to keep an eye on if that mark is minded.

Well bloody 02 was down all morning and i left from an early shift so couldnt see morning prices i did notice he was circa 1/2 last night thou , got on course at 11.55 and Adjali was around 8/11 had quick look in pre parade walked down he was 6/4 briefly but 5/4 readily available to my amazement given form lines trainers juvenile record here ( last 5 won here now ) Plenty of the crowd seemed to be on Skeltons and was as short as 6/4 himself at one point :confused:
Wouldn't surprise me if Skelton did a little wind op on his runner going forward as he was really blowing in winners enclosure after.

An interesting thought, he looked to be giving it everythnig he had to get him into 2nd place? 'One for the cameras/hanidcappers' from the jockey perhaps? :devilish:
 
Finally got single back after 02 nightmare... watched the race and very happy with my tickets... wouldn’t mind this bolting up at Cheltenham on the friday

Appreciate you sharing this with us Billymag , Thankyou , and Thankyou Scooby for pointing out the Horse in the first place.
Just hope Adjali makes it there safe and sound. :encouragement:
 
Hi guys, anyone know much about the form of the French horses at the top of the market in the juvenile race at Sandown today? I’m keeping an eye on Caswell Bay with a view to the Fred Winter so keen to find out what he might be up against today

It's nothing special. They might be looking at the fred winter themselves.
 
Hi Scooby91,

Just like to say thanks for all your input, its of great value and your very kind to share it.
 
We unleashed a couple of our juveniles as well and what surprised me most about those that ran on the day was that*Style De Vole,*who made hard work of winning his race, blew for a good 20 minutes longer than the rest so he obviously wasn’t as fit as I thought he was. He got very tired so can clearly be expected to strip fitter next time.

Adjali*was impressive at Market Rasen yesterday and is a very good horse. I see he is now favourite for the Triumph, which is still a long way off, but he couldn’t have done it any better there and the whole point was to try and get a run in before heading to Chepstow for the G1 Finale Hurdle on December 27th.
