Triumph Hurdle 2019

Yesterday POLIRICO won a grade 2 and today BEAUMEC DE HOUELLE won the grade 1. The form of ADJALI keeps being franked

Looking forward to watching these when they emerge. I wont be backing any of them pre race. Coeur Sublime is the best Ive seen thus far. Early days.

The 1st 2 stay in france just franked the form of the latter.
 
Not that I'm aware of :)

I’ll have to track down the posts. This guy had an incredibly similar prose to you and an identical view on horses too. You don’t have a twin do you?
 
I think Quel Destin has been the best juvenile Ive seen so far, wasn't that taken with Coeur Sublime.

But you'd have to think Adjali has him well covered based on his two comfortable defeats of him and QD has paid him a significant compliment.

Ah on TRF. I haven't been active but I know what you mean. VTC runs an excellent competition I really wish I'd have his effort and mentality to organise something simular. The man does a serious job on there.

As a backer of Adjali I put more faith in the subsequent French form than that of Quel Destin since he moved to Nicholls. Early season juvenile races in UK are notoriously weak and Nicholls tends to mop them up every year without challenging come the spring festivals these days.

Yeah some good posters there but it lacks the depth on here.

Couldn't agree more Jackie. As an Adjali backer, it was still nice to see a horse he has beaten comfortably come out and do that though. We havent seen any of the top juveniles yet for my money.

Somebody should go over and try and lure them over here :highly_amused::devilish:

VTC on that forum is superb from what I've seen. In terms of Cheltenham I find this forum second to none, but have a lot of time for certain posters on that site. I know a few of our members post on there too so hopefully more come over.

I did see one thread they have that VTC has done (none Cheltenham related) about backing Midnight horses and it's got an incredible +/- level stakes! Well worth reading in my opinion!
 
Bits of blue for Never Adapt today, suspect an entry is imminent.

Noted that JP & NH are now registered on RP & ATR as owner & trainer combo, so maybe this may have had some influence too.
 
I wonder if he be entered at the paddy power meeting next week at Cheltenham.

Yeah, I think it was Scooby who suspected she would start off here, and you'd think that would be the case given the money for her now.
 
I backed ADJALI 33's and Never Adapt at 25's. May go in again with me free bet on Monday on Never Adapt. Before it runs.
 
Never Adapt is entered in the Triumph trial at Cheltenham on Saturday

That's a red hot race. Cracker factory, quel destin, montestrel, fret destruval a danger. He'll be as fit as a flea, just came to A king straight from maccaire off the back of 3 recent runs.
