I have been trying to contact Matt Chapman to tell him that Vauban,that he fancies for the Champion Hurdle has the Triumph Hurdle hoodoo hanging over him. Since 1967 only TWO Triumph Hurdle winners have gone on the next year and WON the Champion Hurdle,i believe those are the facts. Having said that,the Triumph Hurdle is not the race it was,now less competitive,so maybe it will change.But it is one hell of a stat to overcome!!!!!.He will need the race run at a breakneck speed so that the pace collapses when they hit the hill so that he can pick them off. Nobody seems to know a lot about anything these days.About as much chance of a winning 2 year old at Royal Ascot winning a Classic the following year!!!!!!.
1971 Mill Reef,Waterloo,Generous and Doctor Devious finished Second,Sayedatti won on the lesser Ascot Heath sat meet.Rock of Gibraltar badly hampered, Tender King finished 3rd in 2000 as i believe Dutch Art.Then Henry the Nav won the 2000 in a photo,then Dawn (Approach ?)in what was virtually a match race.
