Triumph Hurdle 2019

Pic D'Orhy was bought by De La Hey (Danny Kirwan, Diego Du Charmil etc)

Thanks, that was a good guess then.

Did it say any ammount? I think 500k+ was a lenient guess as iv seen a french article where they'd turned that down after debut. And obviously he's gone on from there since
 
The amount of money he has spent on horseflesh would make most people wince.

Good luck to him, he's well overdue a superstar.
 
No amount mentioned just asked someone connected to yard
 
I can't say it in triumph terms as it would sound obsurd.
But if you took tiger tap tap, sir erec, adjali, quel destin all to auteuil and priced it up in France pic D'orphy wouldn't be bigger than evens aslong as beaumec de houlle diddnt run.

Beaumec De Houelle 8/1 2nd fav, lol.
 
Nrnb as well. Nice bet if you've got an account.

Someone's either took that literal and requested him. Or done so on there own backs. He deffinately wont run would be almost impossible to buy him.
Should be closer to 2/1 nrnb though. Pic D'orphy imo shouldn't be much bigger than that

I did laugh when I saw itm after what you said last night about nobody being able to buy him.

Still, I had as much as I could get on :highly_amused:

I don't mind them keeping hold of my money for a couple months, saves me donating it elsewhere.
 
What is the perceived pecking order then, including horses that won't run? (France)

Think he's injured . Very unlikely he'd run anyway as he's same owner/ breeder / trainer who sold adjali .... to Munir souede.

Interesting cheers. Is BDH far superior to Pic D'Orhy? I know he's beat him twice but not by loads, but has he shaped in your opinion to be much better? The first of the wins, i caught the video, i note Pic doesn't have the rail, you could argue that has helped BDH? Also, Pic seems to like to front run, hopefully he doesn't come over here and turn mad keen like the odd one has!

I also have seen a quote where the previous trainer of PD0 has said he thinks he likes softer going, which obviously would be a slight question mark (probably not drastic).

No, they're very closely matched. Only about a length in it. He's not mad keen he's versatile as they used to drop him in.

The only conditions are aged 4.
He wouldn't be eligible for the supreme.....
 
Jon Snow is ground dependant but might be out soon according to Joe Chambers...

Which type of ground is he dependant on? I'm involved in a network game on Championship Manager 0102 so haven't got time to check myself haha
