Triumph Hurdle 2019

IF Pic D’Orhy hoses up in this, we do owe Scooby. Very early call when at a big price before the market even picked up on news of the sale.

I was the first to mention him. Look at the first Nicholls thread.
 
"Best novice chase prospect for next year and most exciting horse in your yard to not make the track yet?"

PN: "Novice Chaser - It's hard to say, because we've got lovely novice hurdles, Grand Saucy (presume he meant Sancy), could be nice"

"Pic D'Orhy is exciting"

Saw a few mention SIR EREC on Twitter today:

Sir Erec now owned by JP and with JPOB, has entry in a maiden hurdle on 27th. Surprised APOB didn’t hold onto him for another flat season, won’t be too many higher rated ones going hurdling.

SIR EREC, last seen when finishing a close up third behind Stradivarius on Champions Day, is now with Joseph O'Brien and owned by JP McManus, entered in the opening Maiden Hurdle at Leopardstown on 27th December, same race connections won with Ivanovich Gorbatov three years ago.

Very interesting imo..

Agree on us all congratulating scooby and others who notified us of the Pic dohry purchase
As long as we all apologise to myflutters.
If Sir Erec wins.

I really like what I see, but we haven't committed him to the race yet. PN on being asked by someone if he should smash into Pic for TH

he also mentioned sending pic dohry to france in the spring
 
Is it just me or is there a lot of questions getting put to him on the Q&A and next to none getting answered by PN?

That doesn't sound like an 'if he's ready in time he goes' answer. More like they are considering whether the TH is the right option / route for him at this stage. In my opinion not as positive about him running as we were surmising following Harry Durham's comments on the FF podcast.
 
First to mention a horse...

First to make a case for a horse...

Quite different?

They pay the same whether you find it first or not though :highly_amused:
 
Quel Destin 15-1 inc boost with ladbrokes is worth a saver for anyone who's not covered it yet, so i have.
if things fall right it will be lot shorter (if no fakir or pic) or erec
 
Adjali is entered for the Fred Winter; did I see somewhere on here he wouldn’t be going to Cheltenham or was that just for this race?
 
These bets don't come off all the time, but another excellent NRNB opportunity IMO today from the Adonis:

Ecco - 40/1 - NRNB

Nicholls has confirmed this is him blog:

Ecco is a lovely big horse who won on the flat in Germany before finishing in the rear in the German Derby at Hamburg. He took a while to get over being gelded after joining us and is definitely one for the future. He is going forward now and worked nicely at Wincanton on Monday. If he goes and wins this then he could go straight to the Triumph Hurdle. If not then we will probably keep him for next season.



2x 1 pt e/w (option to cash one out if shortens dramatically)

I like these bets too. But with this one I’d like to have seen Nicholls nominate it as his most exciting unraced horse rather than another one that’s going for the same race (Pic)

I'm not suggesting he's better than Pic D'orhy, but if a Paul Nicholls wins the Adonis, it's going single figures regardless of what else he has unraced.
 
That’s true. I’d be tempted to join you, and even though there’s no real risk I’ve been burned enough by the triumph this year so am leaving it till the day!
 
I think the point Kev is trying to make is, it's like backing the horse to win today, with less risk. :)

The Triumph is irrelevant.
 
Petit Palais 50/1
Fusil Raffles 33/1
Ecco 40/1
Giving Glances 40/1

You could argue the same for all 4
 
You could argue AB in the supreme is also a free punt for those not on. :confused:
 
Just reading the trainers comments in The Festival Magazine. Mentions CDO, Pic D’Orhy and Friend Or Foe. I assume this had to go to print a while ago given it’s just out. I doubt he is repeatedly mentioning Pic D’orhy as 1 of 3 to follow without him being quietly confident he goes here with a good chance.
