Super Kenny Triumph Ante Post Gamble.

February 10, 2010 By

Nicky Henderson may have a surprise for the Triumph Hurdle up his sleeve in the shape of SUPER KENNY. With powerful owners you would expect him to be a quality sort but the word is that this is pleasing at home.

Henderson trains Super Kenny

Looking at the four year-olds we have seen to date it is fair to say SUPER KENNY would not need to be the best Triumph winner ever. He has not yet made his debut, but will need to do so very soon if he is to go to the Cheltenham Festival and the Triumph Hurdle. The word though is that this is the one from Seven Barrows for the Triumph Hurdle.

Stan James go 16/1 from 25′s before he has ever run over hurdles, but reports are that this is one to be on. We will see! You can get a £25 Free Bet from Stan James for the Triumph Hurdle.

Ascot Racing Club Looking for Cheltenham Festival Glory

January 25, 2010 By

The Royal Ascot Racing Club have already had a winner at the meeting that bears their name and in the Derby at Epsom – now they are dreaming of success at the Cheltenham Festival after Advisor booked his place in the JCB Triumph Hurdle with victory at Ascot on Saturday.

The four-year-old, who moved from Michael Bell’s stable on the Flat to join champion jumps trainer Paul Nicholls, is around 16-1 for the juvenile crown.

“It was a real thrill to kick off in the jumping game for the Club with a horse as exciting as this one,” said racing manager Harry Herbert. We were going to have at least one as a jumper and this horse was in training with Michael Bell and was the obvious one rather than buy one at the sales. We had one under our noses who would have improved a bit and still won nice handicaps on the Flat, but also with the thought you can hope he might be a classy hurdling type. He’s quite a big animal who is only now starting to fill to his frame. He’s a different shape to the horse who was running last year. There was a huge difference between the horse that won at Newbury in the unsaddling enclosure to the one we saw on Saturday. There was a huge improvement and that is what Paul had said, judged on his homework and the way he was schooling. The horse is really enthusiastic and enjoying his hurdling. Paul thinks he will improve significantly with his races and also a field that goes a bit quicker would be to his advantage. That does point encouragingly to a crack at the Triumph and hopefully having a fun day out for the members. He’s going straight there. He’s very good over his hurdles and schools well. We have had some tremendous success over the years with Motivator in the Derby and a winner at Royal Ascot. So to have a winner at the Festival would be phenomenal.”

Triumph Hurdle Market Hots Up

January 3, 2010 By

Recent French recruit Notus De La Tour landed the At The Races Sky 415 Novices’ Hurdle at Plumpton in the style of an above-average performer.

David Pipe got hold of the four-year-old after an easy win in an Auteuil claimer but he looked to have plenty on his plate with a couple of hurdles to jump as 4-11 favourite Ranjobaie and Tony McCoy appeared to be travelling better.
Plumpton winner Notus De La Tour earned a quote of 33/1 with Stan James for the Triumph Hurdle after his facile success at Plumpton on his British debut.

Head of PR Charlie McCann: ” The David Pipe trained juvenile could hardly have made a more impressive British debut and, having landed his previous start at Auteuil by 20l, he is clearly going the right way.”

Carlito Brigante could have his prep for Cheltenham’s JCB Triumph Hurdle at Musselburgh on February 7 as long as the ground is suitable.

Gordon Elliott’s charge is a top-priced 14-1 for the juvenile championship after slamming Alaivan by 11 lengths at Leopardstown on Boxing Day on his first start for the County Meath trainer.

“He’s come out of the race very well and we were delighted with him,” said Elliott.

“He may go for the race at Musselburgh in February if the ground is good. He has to have good ground, then hopefully it will be Cheltenham after that.

“He’s a nice horse, the ground is the key to him and he’s improving all the time. He’s a horse to look forward to.”

Olofi Quoted at 25/1 for Triumph Hurdle

December 13, 2009 By

Olofi was introduced at 25-1 for the Triumph Hurdle by Sky Bet after he outstayed George Nympton up the final hill in the Cheltenham Military Charity Ball Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle.

Tom George’s grey had acquitted himself well when third in a Grade Two hurdle at the Open fixture and in scoring by two and three-quarter lengths under Paddy Brennan demonstrated his liking for a battle. There were still four in with a shout at the last, including the 2-1 favourite Ultimate, but it was Olofi who found the greatest resolve.

George, on hand to greet the 100-30 winner with father-in-law John Edwards, said:

“We’ve had him since he was a yearling and he was jumping at two. He’s a young and improving horse that will keep improving, and although he has a good Flat pedigree this was always going to be his game. In his work he’s got better with every bit he’s done.”

Veiled Aimed at Triumph Hurdle

December 3, 2009 By

Jeff Pearce feels he may have a Triumph Hurdle candidate on his hands after Veiled made a winning debut over obstacles at Leicester.

The daughter of Sadler’s Wells hit the target three times on the level for Sir Mark Prescott before being snapped up for 48,000 guineas by current connections at October’s Tattersalls Sales. Sent off the 11-8 favourite in the hands of Wayne Hutchinson, Veiled was pulling double approaching the final obstacle. Although she met it on an awkward stride, the three-year-old picked up again to score by 10 lengths from Zepnove.

“I’ve never had a Triumph Hurdle horse and I think she could be very special,” said Pearce.

Bookmakers Stan James quote her at 33/1. Charlie McCann of Stan James said “she was very impressive”.

Triumph Hurdle Winner Set for Ascot Reappearance

November 17, 2009 By

Victor Chandler expects Zaynar to relish the step up in trip in Saturday’s Coral Ascot Hurdle.

The bookmaker heads the syndicate who own the JCB Triumph Hurdle winner who faces a clash with Katchit at the Berkshire track.

Chandler said: “We were obviously delighted with the brave performance of Zaynar in the Triumph Hurdle particularly as he looked like he may get tapped for toe at Cheltenham.

“This step up in trip to two miles three and half furlongs should suit him and I understand he has been ticking all the right boxes during the summer break.”


Nicky Henderson’s charge has been installed as the 5/2 favourite for Saturday’s race by the sponsors.

Starluck is set to run at Haydock on Saturday rather than wait for the ‘Fighting Fifth’ a week later.

Connections hope the ground doesn’t get too testing but feel the Tune Into Timeform Radio Hurdle is the ideal target for their progressive four-year-old.

“He’s in at Haydock on Saturday and if the ground wasn’t desperately heavy he’ll go there rather than the Fighting Fifth,” trainer Alan Fleming told At The Races.

“It looks a more obvious stepping stone to the Christmas Hurdle so we’re hoping to run him on Saturday.

“We discussed the Fighting Fifth in terms of the WBX bonus but there’s no point taking the big boys on yet. We’ll have a crack at them at Kempton on ground and a track that might suit us better.”

Festival Hopefuls Win on Saturday

Triumph Hurdle….
Picture

Nick Williams has another bright young prospect in Pistolet Noir, who stayed on best of all in the Prestbury Juvenile Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.

An inexperienced French-bred running against mostly more worldly-wise opponents, the 7-2 shot travelled like a dream for Daryl Jacob just off the 5-4 favourite Barizan.

Pistolet Noir was in charge by the final flight and although he drifted across the track, he had nine lengths in hand by the line.

Williams was not present but his wife Jane said:

“It was only his second run – he ran very green at Chepstow but he came on for it. It was tough to take on Flat-bred horses but because he’s jumps bred, he went on the ground. He’s only tiny but he has a hell of a stride on him.”

Boylesports and William Hill were biggest about his Triumph Hurdle price, offering 25-1.

Dunguib..

This afternoon’s meeting at Punchestown has been given the go-ahead.

Course officials delivered the pleasing news following an 8am inspection.

Although the track was hit by 12 millimetres of overnight rain, the ground remains heavy.

Cliff Noone, Irish Turf Club press officer, reported: “It’s testing ground, but they have not had as much rain as was expected.”

Punchestown are also due to be in action on Sunday. Fenton said:

“That was grand. He wasn’t really concentrating over the first two and he learned more today. He jumped with enthusiasm. We’ll find out more two weeks tomorrow in the Royal Bond. The ground out there was loose rather than tacky which was okay. Roll on Fairyhouse.”
