Few years late, just wandering, says altior as a novice hurdler was rated 169p in this video. Yet when I watched the champion hurdle last year highest rated horse was Sharjah with a rating around 160? Had the handicapper changed his yardsticks? Or was he a genius in rating these brilliant horses?
Most grade 1 wins in a field since... maybe Faugheen's Champion Hurdle Total so far is: Altior 10, Min 4, Buveur 8, Supasundae 3, Petit Mouchoir 2, Bellshill 5, Silver Concorde 1 - that's 33. 7 different horses - most since Long Run's Gold Cup?
Insane to say, but I reckon altior could have been a champion hurdle 4 timer! He was absolutely electric on the old course, and I’ve seen the interview after he won the supreme where Nicky stated ‘ you can go hurdling or Chasing, he’s gonna win either way’
Who trains him m8 and what price roughly is he just now ? Because ive got 2 jobs now I've no had the time I used to have to keep on top of everything cheers
The best novice hurdle race in the last decade at least
Exactly my thoughts. Amazing form line! Much better than the last two years anyway.
Agreed. Even bellshill who finished 13th is a grade 1 winner and in the mix for this year's gold cup!
Agreed Chloe, however it lacked a horse of the caliber of the 2017 Supreme winner.
Great field. But I would suggest Sprinter Sacres supreme was marginally better.
Without s doubt
When you look at who ran in the race it was littered with quality.
Form!!! Just look at what horses raced in this race. Amazing!
he keeps his form even when he's knackered ....brilliantly powerful jumper
Oh altior what a awesome horse
What a field for this Supreme.
Just wow.talent everywhere
We didn't know it at the time but this was a race of some quality when you look at the horses who ran in it.
Monster performance in a monster of race.... Some serious engines in this one!
Given JP eventually bought the 3rd, I'm sure Mrs. Pugh must have turned down some eyewatering cash for Altior.
