The WBX Hurdling Triple Crown once again takes in the three Grade 1 2m hurdle races run in Britain each season: The WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle, Christmas Hurdle at Kempton and Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Any horse that wins these three races in the same season will land connections a £1 million bonus.

Last year’s WBX Hurdling Triple Crown saw what has been dubbed the most expensive fall in history, with Punjabi’s fall in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton costing connections £1 million.

The £1 million bonus for winning the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown would see £700,000 awarded to Go Native’s owners the Docado Syndicate, £150,000 to trainer Noel Meade, £100,000 to the responsible stable lad or lass and £50,000 to the remainder of the team at Tu Va.

Go Native is due to face Binocular on Boxing Day who he beat comfortably in the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on November 28th. 

World Bet Exchange also offers two markets relating to the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown: “Will The First 2 Legs Be Won?” and “Will It Be Won?”

Go Native is currently 2.84 to back that he supplements his victory in the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle with a win at Kempton on Boxing Day in the Christmas Hurdle.

Looking further ahead, Go Native is 24/1 to back to become the first winner of the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown.
