Triumph Hurdle 2019

he also said his Triumph horses had "no chance" in an interview I heard.
 
25/1 NRNB, what do we do?....go back in? cash out fusil?.
Back either of them for the Fred winter?........im so confused lol

adjali rated 145 i think.
but high for fred winter i reckon.
he was 75's on exchange yesterday.
took bit if it
just in case
but got a feeling now that henderson talking up all his novices a bit too much and they're not all that. they all look a bit weak and immature. will all be good but nor sure about cheltenham this year.
except maybe champ who's second season and a bit stronger

Did you get the same feeling with Epitante Q??? plenty of ability but so immature again the other day. Not sure she'll cope with the hustle&bustle. Any views...
 
Where was this?

sporting life podcast i think,
He basically conceded to J O'brien.
then fusil ran well though and he got all chuckly again yesterday

100 percent.
honeysuckle looks far more business like
 
JP will win it and it won't be one of mine.

My interpretation from that is "no chance" and I agree with that.

May well be the Case Doc , Or are they getting like the Football Manager's and playing
a few Mind Games , Nicky must have had half an idea of how F.R would run yesterday ??.

"it was a really good performance, particularly as I've hardly trained him as its been so stop-start , although there's a very strong Irish challenge in the triumph and JP has a fantastic hand"

Hendo on fusil raffle.....seems he has a lot of love for sir Eric.

Or gardens of Babylon :devilish:
 
Fusil out.
hendersoen just tweeted.
 
Wrote off my adjali bets, wouldn’t mind seeing a huge resurrection after the battering my AP has taken this week
 
With Fusil now out and Fakir looking Supreme bound, surely 12/1 Pic very generous

I agree. Adjali definitely not out of it just yet either, only a neck between him and Quel Destin, price difference is somewhat insulting on that one piece of form. Can forgive one run LTO, where he overreached and was giving the field 5lbs, and Hendo has been kind about him on Saturday too. Still an interesting player IMO.
 
Perhaps a question for Scooby but has Pic D'Orhy shown better form in France going into this than Zarkander had before winning this in 2011? I know Zarkander won the Adonis at Kempton, but referring specifically to France.

Zarkandar was a flat horse coming over from France. Pic D'Orhy has done it over hurdles in France already. Completely different. PD is 'ready made' for want of a better phrase, for the race.
