Triumph Hurdle 2019

Real shame shed have been really exciting to watch. She's in no mans land when sge returns as lost her novice status for next year now too.

Nope. Still a novice. Came 3rd in only run this season.
 
It's Adjali or nothing for me in this race now currently.

Will look to add an alternative, possibly Jon Snow, once I see a declaration.

Anyone know what juveniles Sullivan has this season?

What is everyone’s take on the performance of Torpillo at Sandown today?

He doesn’t bring the same level of French form to the table but that was still a taking performance. I know a lot will be quick to dismiss the performance versus Adjali’s because of the amount of followers of his, but the owners have two live ones for sure.

They've got better than torpillo. Fret destruvals deffinately better than him imo. And fusil raffles could well be.

And obvioisly adjali is very very good.

Considering most of their other recruits had more experience than Torpillo (only one previous start), I think he has improved a fair bit from his French form. It will be interesting how he fares when he has similar experience to the to the others.

He could have done you never know. Id like to see him on some decent ground. His French run he literally fell in receiving weight and nothing of substance behind him. . According to Jacob he's mad keen at home, that's why he wore the hood today

Yeah I caught the interview with Daryl. As he only had the one run in France it’s impossible to know how wound up he was on the day but the performances would appear to be night and day. The ground angle will be interesting for sure as he may have just handled it better than the others today.
 
Does anyone know whether a horse called Jack Regan is likely to go for this? Beat Cracker Factory in it’s only start over hurdles. Maybe worth a flyer at 100/1 Bet365?

One they may try and sneak into the Fred Winter with perhaps?
 
2 pts lost on Never Adapt. Took 36/1 boosted with WH.

(I believe that was still left after 365 had cut his price) OR his "any race" price had gone.



Not that I'll need to remember, but so far out I should always be using 365. Got too much in WH already this season due to their "better prices".

You have to take the best price though Kev, don't you?

Would you take 33/1 (boosted to 36/1 with hills) or 25/1 with B365?

I'd take the bigger price every time. B365 allow you to cash out if things go wrong but in the long term you are surely better off taking the bigger price.

If all things are equal, then b365 are obviously the way to go.

I'm not sure. I'm trying to figure out how I can track that through the season.

The 'fact' is, she was 16/1 with 365 this morning, so I could have cashed out for a small profit.

I imagine I'll have the highest number of non runners of anyone on the forum, but because I do back more thsan 1 in a race, the security and fluidity is worth a fair chunk.

I am not seeing it clear cut, maybe as I am on the 'wrong side' of one?
 
Definitely got to take the bigger price.

I'm convinced a horse I cash out pre-cheltenham after disappointing, will pop up and win come March!

Always been a pessimist :heart-borken:
