Re: Tuesday 3:20 > Champion Hurdle CHAMPION HURDLE TRENDS 2014 - [ thanks to r/caller for use of these trends ] The highlight of the first day of Cheltenham’s 4 day Festival, which kicks off on the 11th March, is the Stan James Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy, the big one for 2 mile hurdlers. Since 1998 ten winners have come from Ireland and last year Hurricane Fly became only the second horse ever to regain the title after winning it in 2011. He now looks to follow in the footsteps of the great, Sea Pigeon, and become only the second horse in last 50 years to win this aged older than 9. Based on the trends from the past 10 years you are looking for a horse: - Gelding aged 6 to 9 - Won last time out (or placed in grade 1 or 2) - Posted an RPR of 160+ last time out - Run 2 to 5 times this season - 2nd or 3rd season hurdler or finished in first 3 in 2013 Champion Hurdle - Finished in first 3 on last 4 runs in 2M-2M 1F hurdles races with 10+ runners - Previously won a grade 1 hurdle - Finished in first 3 in 2013 Champion Hurdle or won another race at 2013 Festival - Won the Punchestown Champion Hurdle - Irish-trained that finished in first 3 in Irish Champion and/or Istabraq Festival Hurdle - British-trained that finished in first 3 in Fighting Fifth and/or Christmas Hurdle - Ran in Kingwell, Contenders, Red Mills Trial or Irish Champion Hurdle last time - Trained by Nicky Henderson or in Ireland.
