What is the Triumph Hurdle?
The Triumph Hurdle is the opening race on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival, Gold Cup Day, which is traditionally held on a Friday in March. A Grade 1 juvenile novice contest over hurdles, the race is run over two miles and 79 yards, and is for four-year-olds only.
The history of the Triumph Hurdle
The Triumph Hurdle was established in 1939, though was originally run at the now closed Hurst Park and only became part of the Cheltenham Festival in 1968. The race has an esteemed roll of honour, one which includes the dual-Grand National winner Tiger Roll, who won the race in 2014. Four winners of the Triumph Hurdle have gone on to win the Champion Hurdle later in their careers, Clair Soleil, Persian War, Kribensis and Katchit. The race is currently sponsored by JCB, who began backing it in 2002.
What happened in the 2021 Triumph Hurdle?
Henry de Bromhead's Quilixios was a fine winner of the Triumph Hurdle, as the Irish raider pulled well clear of David Pipe's Adagio, with the Willie Mullins-trained raider Haut En Couleurs finishing in third spot.
Who is the most iconic winner of the Triumph Hurdle?
Several illustrious names have won the Triumph Hurdle over the years, though only four have been able to win the Champion Hurdle at this meeting later in their careers, with the most recent being the 2007 Triumph winner, the Alan King-trained Katchit. Having completed a Grade 1 double in the Four-Year-Old Hurdle at Aintree the following month, connections set their sights on the Champion Hurdle for Katchit, and he built on victory in the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton to win the 2008 Champion Hurdle, defeating the David Pipe-trained Osana and the Nicky Henderson-trained Punjabi - form that worked out particularly well, with Punjabi going on to win the 2009 Champion Hurdle.
Are there any trials for the Triumph Hurdle?
There are several trials for the Triumph Hurdle throughout the season, including three at Cheltenham, in November, December and January. There are also key pointers for the race at Doncaster, Kempton, and Sandown during the season, while Kempton’s Adonis Juvenile Hurdle is another key pointer. Over in Ireland, it could be worth keeping an eye on the Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle and the Spring Juvenile Hurdle, both of which are at Leopardstown.
Who is the most successful jockey in the Triumph Hurdle?
The most successful jockey in the history of the Triumph Hurdle is Barry Geraghty, who has ridden five winners of the race, with Spectroscope (2003), Zaynar (2009), Soldatino (2010), Peace And Co (2015) and Ivanovich Gorbatov (2016).
Who is the most successful trainer in the Triumph Hurdle?
The most successful trainer in the history of the Triumph Hurdle is Nicky Henderson, who trained seven winners of the race, courtesy of First Bout (1985), Alone Success (1987), Katarino (1999), Zaynar (2009), Soldatino (2010), Peace And Co (2015) and Pentland Hills (2019).
