Last Ran: 14th March 2008
The JCB Triumph Hurdle is a Grade 1 race run during the Cheltenham Festival in March. It is a race for four-year-old novices, and is run over 2 miles 1 furlong.
Winning this race can sometimes be a burden, because the next season the winner will still be a young horse (five years old is young in jumping circles) - and if entering handicaps the horse will carry a heavy weight. In addition to that, five-year-olds have a terrible record in both the Champion and World Hurdles.
This burden is shown by the 2000, 2002 and 2003 winners never winning another race of any sort.
