One Horse Town Sets Sights on Triumph Hurdle: A Bright Future Ahead

In an exciting turn of events, Harry Derham’s promising horse, One Horse Town, is gearing up for the prestigious Triumph Hurdle, following an impressive performance on Festival Trials day at Cheltenham. The decision to focus on this significant race speaks volumes about the horse's potential and the confidence of its trainer.

Impressive Track Record Fuels Ambitions

One Horse Town has shown significant improvement over recent months, achieving a remarkable four-timer, including a Grade Two victory at Prestbury Park last November. Despite a third-place finish in December, the horse's recent second-place finish behind a well-regarded competitor has encouraged Derham to take his shot at the Triumph Hurdle.

Strategic Decision for Success

Derham, in his strategic approach, believes that entering the Triumph Hurdle provides a better chance of success than participating in the Adonis Hurdle. He insists on the importance of not overexerting One Horse Town ahead of this key event. "If Maestro Conti is around 8-1 and we’re 33s, then to me that makes no sense and we’re going to go and have a go," he explained, showing his commitment to aiming high for the future.

This decision highlights the importance of nurturing promising talent in the racing world while providing an opportunity to shine on a grand stage. As fans and enthusiasts eagerly await the Triumph Hurdle, One Horse Town stands as a beacon of hope and ambition in the racing community.
