Now that we at the halfway point of the 2009 flat season. I noticed a on a few posts on certain racing forums are starting to talk about the 2009/10 NH season. Has anyone seen any 3 year olds on the flat that might make a good juvenile hurdler and could see perform well in the Triumph Hurdle in march. I have seen a few 3 year olds which might be interesting. The King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot is a sort of race that might produce a decent young hurdler and last years Triumph winner Celestial Halo ran in the 2007 renewal. I have seen 2 horses that look like decent triumph hurldle types. The first is owned by the Queen – Highland Glen who is by Monjteu I can see her sending him to Nicky Henderson in the autumn who he completes is ban. The second horse I have seen is called Brunston who is by High Chapperal who I have since seen stay on to take a place at a handicap at Hayock he is owned by Seasons Holidays who have horses trained by Paul Nicholls and they also sponsor the Champion Chase. There is another 3 year old I have seen who is also by montjeu this time round he is trained by Sir Mark Prescott called Fortuni. What are the chances we might see Fortuni being aimed for the triumph hurdle for Wylie/Johnson. Of course I would love to see a "big name" 3 year-old go hurdling in the winter something like a Harbinger or a Jukebox Jury but I can dream of course. So anyone seen a 3 year old you like to see at the fesitval come march?
Souter Point was being touted as one by Roger Charlton today! He is the type who might love a flight of hurdles to break up the monotony of running!
Any Amanda Perrett horse bred to stay a mile and a half should do the job. All really good physical specimans, all well bred expensive yearlings, and she won;t have got the best out of any of them. Cry For The Moon is one such type, as is Classic Vintage.
Richard Hannon’s Lethal Glaze has done nothing but progress over the last 12 months and would surely make a pretty useful jumper.
Temple Lord and Sway in France are already up to Triumph standard and have been bought by J P McManus. FWIW.
There might be an error or two in this list.
This is a list of 3yo horses that are owned by the Aga Khan, trained in Ireland, and have run this Flat season (hence no Arazan).

HassunaI suppose we could chuck out the fillies, as they will on the whole be kept for the paddocks. I think this essentially consists of eliminating all the horses ending with an ‘a’.
I did a little bit of work on past Triumph winners a few months ago, and my first thought was ex-Aga Khan horses.
I’ll do a little bit of profiling this evening, in terms of what RPR or OR Triumph winners achieved as 3yos on the Flat, etc.

Shhhh – was trying to keep those quiet
I was thinking that, reading between the lines and on balance, they were odds against to run here. But if they
were
to be aimed at the Triumph: blimey!

21/21 are male-tail descended from Eclipse. I’m sure you’ll all find that a useful piece of information.
20/21 are male-tail descended from Birdcatcher, so the Irish can claim them all as theirs (see earlier thread after the Kentucky Derby). The exception was Commanche Court (St Simon route), and he was certainly Irish as well.
19/21 are male-tail descended from Phalaris.
3 are from the Native Dancer line, and 16 from Nearco.
Of these 16, 5 are Nasrullah (4 Mill Reef), 9 Northern Dancer and 2 Dante.
What I was most surprised about a few months ago when I did this was that 3 are male-descended from Be My Guest.
Running lots of times as a 3yo on the Flat is a plus – it shows that the horse is sound, and means that the trainer only has to teach the horse to hurdle.
About a quarter were brought up in France. Of the others, these
tended
to have a maximum RPR of between 80-95.
I think that although a horse might have occasionally only been competing over 8f so far, by September it ought to be competing over 10f+.
My Public expect me to include Racing Post Flat Stamina Indices in a study like this, so I’ll append them later. 19/21 had a Sire FSI of 9+ furlongs and 17/19 had a Damsire FSI of 10+ furlongs (2 don’t have one).
As I said, 19/21 Sires have a FSI of 9.6+ furlongs, and only two Damsires have a FSI of less than 10.2 (I had looked King Emperor up before – although he has a very-heavily sprint influenced Dosage profile, he won the Stuyvesant H’cap, which was a 1 mile race in the year he won it.)
Using my slightly dodgy method of allocating a FSI of 15 to any stallion that doesn’t have one, and then adding the Dam and Damsire figures together, only 2 of the 21 Triumph winners had a combined figure of less than 19.9

The Damsire FSIs seemed to be being made fun of by the horses, so I had a look at the Mare Conduit Profile Indices as well. (The latter are basically a female version of Dosage. I really need to read the book.) Low CMP Indices tend toward stamina.

1.26 1988 KribensisIt is gratifying to see that Penzance’s low Conduit Mare Profile Index counteracts his low FSIs.
Agree with
Anak
, thought he was very impressive at Ballinrobe. He has juvenile hurdler written all over him. Presumably the horses-in-training sales beckon.
Alaivan
is another that would be very interesting
A dark one here.
Cross Appeal
trained by Noel Meade. Owned by John Corr who has owned the likes of Aran Concerto and Moscow Express. Throw
Morning Time
into the bargin also.
Causeway King, ex-Mark Johnston, caught the eye on his debut for Alan King when mid-division in a 1m Kempton handicap earlier this month. He should improve when stepped up to 1m2f+ and looks the type to land a couple of small races on the Flat before being switched to hurdles.
Thanks for working through my list of Aga Khan horses, Sunshine Street; I hadn’t looked at them yet.
