I was watching the racing yesterday and remembered that I’ve got an ante post ticket on the win-less Black Jarcari for the triumph hurdle
Has any maiden horse ever won at the festival?
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Long time ago, but I have good reason to remember it, Heighlin was a maiden over hurdles when he won the Triumph in 1980.
The good reason being that I was sat with the trainer when he bought the horse at Newmarket the previous October.
Not the Festival but Commanche Court was a maiden over fences when he took the Irish National (don’t think there’s too many Festival maiden winners so he’s a big race maiden winner for you
)I’ve got Black Jacari at 16/1 also after his first run over hurdles at Rasen.
Fancy a pint??
2 maiden winners at the festival…..

Wilson is wrong i am thinking of Highland bud for the Sheikh, although
Melnik did win a race at Cheltenham as well as losing a few!Wasn’t that the year that Bear Claw won the EBF Final when they had a non-festival day on the Friday? In which case it doesn’t strictly count.
Dead right Rory- wasn’t a Festival day- I was there and it had a very "after the Lord Mayor’s Show " feel to it, no atmosphere!
Melnik was bred by Sheikh Mohamed by Nashwan.
So did run in the Sheikhs colours on the flat, i shall take it back about me being wrong then! just wrongish!!
