DFP Actors August: Michael Hurst

NZ actors tend to end up in a lot of the same shows over the years it seems. I have a lot of fun spotting familiar faces, so I thought this would be a fun and silly little project, seeing which actors have repeatedly been in things that Deano was also in (not necessarily alongside). Just a bit of trivia. Enjoy!

Shortland Street (1996/2003)

Dean played Nurse Harry Martin in 1996. Michael played Greg Vicelich in 2003.

Xena: Warrior Princess (1996, 2000/1995-2001)

Dean played two roles: Homer/Orion - S1E13 “Athens City Academy of the Performing Bards” Wiglaf - S6E9 “Return of the Valkyrie”

Michael played three roles: Iolaus - S1E8 "Prometheus" and S2E13 "The Quest" Charon - S1E16 "Mortal Beloved" and S6E13 "You Are There" Nigel - S6E13 "You Are There"

Michael also directed several episodes!

Young Hercules (Movie) (1998)

Dean played Iolaus. Michael played "Jeweler".

Young Hercules (1998-1999/1998)

Dean played Iolaus in 46 of the 50 episodes. Miachel played Charon in E22 "A Lady in Hades".

Duggan (1999/1999)

Dean played Fergus MacLllwaine in S1E6 "Going Overboard". Michael played Michael Taylor in S1E3 "A Shadow of Doubt: Part 1" and S1E4 "A Shadow of Doubt: Part 2".

I can't find this show anywhere so no screenshots for you. If you know where I can watch it or buy a copy, please let me know!

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995-1998/1995-1999)

Dean played a few different characters on this show: Iloran - S1E12 “The Gauntlet” Young Iolaus - S4E3 “Regrets… I’ve Had a Few”, S4E11 “Medea Culpa” and S4E20 “Twilight”. Ruun - S4E7 “Prodigal Sister”

Michael played many roles as well: Iolaus - in 67 episodes from my count? His main role here! Charon - in 2 episodes, S2E8 "The Other Side" and S2E11 "Highway to Hades" Orestes - in 2 episodes, S2E19 "King for a Day" and S3E11 "Long Live the King" Orestes is Iolaus's cousin! Sordis - S3E1 "Mercenary" (voice, uncredited) Jean Pierre - S3E17 "Les Contemptibles" Jester Iolaus - S4E5 "Stranger in a Strange World" The Widow Twanky - in 3 episodes, S4E8 "...And Fancy Free", S4E12 "Men in Pink", and S5E15 "Greece is Burning". Paul Robert Coyle - in 2 episodes, S4E15 "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Hercules" and S5E9 "For Those of You Just Joining Us..." Dahok - in 2 episodes, S5E8 "Darkness Rising" and S5E10 "Let There Be Light" [IMDb has it noted as Dahok, but the fan wiki says Dahak.] Iolaus II - in 6 episodes between S5E13 "Stranger and Stranger" and S5E21 "My Best Girl's Wedding". Beggar - S5E15 "Greece Is Burning"

(I have done my best here, but if there's an error, lemme know!)

Michael also directed several episodes!

Legend of the Seeker (2009/2009)

Dean played Carver Dunn in S1E17 “Deception”. Michael played Amfortas in S1E13 "Revenant".

Michael also directed several episodes!

The Almighty Johnsons (2011-2013/2012)

Dean plays Anders Johnson (the god Bragi) throughout the series. Michael plays Kvasir in 4 episodes between S2E1 "And Then She Will Come to You" and S2E13 "Does This Look Like Asgard?".

Kvasir was such an interesting and weird character, and could have been used for various plots I think, but he also sort of became an easy out for the characters, so I think that's why they didn't bring him back in season 3.

Michael also directed 2 episodes ("Typical Auckland God" and "The Asparagus Is Kicking In").

Westside (2016-2017/2017-2019)

Dean played Evan Lace in 9 episodes between S2E2-S3E3. Michael played "Prisoner" in S3E8 and "Blood donor" in S5E6, uncredited (according to IMDb).

Michael also directed several episodes, including some that Dean appears in!

What's your opinion on s2? I loved it, of course I missed some parts from the book, but understand why it has to be that way. What do you think of Matthew and Teresa? Any thoughts about s3, what do you predict they will do with it? I honestly think they served every season and it will be bitter sweet ending. Hopefully covid will let them do press, I love cast and their chemistry and family like atmosphere.

(Taking a break from TLH theories to answer one or more ADOW asks! I say this because I know the name Matthew confuses people, lol)

Hi! I poured all my thoughts about season 2 here. I do think they did the absolute best they could with the little time they had. These books need more than 8-10 episodes to be adapted, but they did an amazing job regardless. Some things might feel a bit rushed towards the end, but it’s either that or cutting down more plot lines. There are a couple of things I would’ve done slightly differently, but I am 97% satisfied at season 2. 

Matthew and Teresa were phenomenal. I touch upon that too in my review. We owe so much to them and their chemistry. 

For season 3, I really wish they would be able to split it in two seasons like they were supposed to, before COVID happened. I know it’s impossible now, but I recognize that any narrative problem s3 could have will be due to this: they were planning for 2 seasons and had to resort to 1. I wish at least season 3 could have more than 10 episodes so they can tell the story and wrap up everything perfectly, but we can’t know that yet. But it looks like Deb just answered an IG comment yesterday saying it will only be 7 episodes. 

I would obviously love if they were granted an extra season to cover more material in TBOL and Time’s Convert. Officially, they haven’t cancelled the show yet, they just haven’t said it will continue past season 3 and everyone is sort of assuming it will end there, especially given all the delays that happened because of COVID. 

The actors themselves don’t hold much hope that the show will continue past s3 now - or can’t say what they know yet - because Teresa was asked and she just vaguely said that she’s ready to let go but she will be more than happy to continue if they can. But they must have signed deals for 4 seasons, if they were planning to split TBOL in two seasons. The problem might be that they were only under contract until a certain year (2021) and there will be no way to extend that. I’m just speculating here, based on my good enough understanding of television production. 

Plot-wise, I think they might actually include some bits of Time’s Convert (without the past parts, of course) because they’ll want Marcus and Phoebe to have their happy ending. If you think about it, Adelle is so often on set with Aiysha, and I don’t recall Phoebe and Miriam spending much time together in The Book of Life... maybe we’ll see the glimpses of the twins driving Diana and Matthew insane as they develop their skills. Maybe we’ll see Apollo, and Pip doing some magic. Maybe we’ll see Becca bite people. Hopefully we’ll get one of those family dinners at Les Revenants where everyone is happy and safe and together (except for my love Gallowglass). They will probably have to rush everything. Major plot points will have to be completely scrapped. 

I hope they do the book justice. I know we can trust them to do the very best they can despite the situation. Deb is one of the Executive Producers, and no one cares about these characters more than she does. We have to trust that these people who made magic happen for 2 seasons can do it even in such adverse circumstances, just like Diana and Matthew would. 

For now, let’s enjoy season 2. We can worry about season 3 when the time comes. By then, I hope we’ll finally be out of this pandemic for good and at least the cast and crew will be able to celebrate and do press together. It’s what they deserve.

Details of the first three. My Keenler seeds.

I’m waiting for Keenler to sink ships this season :)

I’ll continue posting these in detail as each episode airs. 

Episode One: Louis T Steinhil 

We had Red get drugged in the street, then taken to a fake hospital like Liz and Ressler were back in The Scimitar. Introduce Louis T Steinhil, an illusionist like Dr. Krilov. He led Red to believe he was paralyzed just as Krilov led Ressler to believe Laurel kidnapped a witness to the murder of Reven Wright. 

A return to 2x22 & 4x19: Liz’s second memory wipe

My theory similar to the playout. Liz getting drugged in the street by Tom, then taken to Krilov for her memory wipe. The opposite plays out. Red to get a truth, Liz to hide a truth. Again, in the opposite. Red realizes the truth in this episode. Liz still has yet to escape her illusion. 

There are several ways this memory wipe can be revealed to Liz. Dr. Krilov being brought in for a current episode, given Red wanted Louis T Steinhil and Katarina killed him. I feel this is unlikely because The Illusionist’s skill set is broad, unlike Dr. Krilov - specific to memory and Sinclair - specific to face. Liz suffering a flashback, which I feel is slightly possible because of Red’s own flashback to Katarina’s assault. However, not as likely because Red’s assault was recent, whereas Liz’s was back in S2. I think her flashbacks will come after her memory wipe has been revealed to her. We have the option of adding a character to that memory. Let’s say Liz went to Ressler’s apartment to get intel on Tom. If Krilov wiped that memory, Ressler bringing it up in conversation would alert her to memory loss. Unlikely unless Ressler finally gets the courage to tell her how he feels. Last option is Agnes, which I feel is where they’re heading. It’s far easier to reveal the big twist first because once that first hit comes, it won’t stop, it’ll be like a domino effect. That’s why I call it my domino theory. You go with the big bang first, then little bang after little bang after little bang. So what I suspect is Agnes getting hit, and her hospitalization revealing Keenler baby. The wipe would work backwards through each season until they land us back at S1. That’s why I feel Agnes’ hit will be perfect. The Townsend Directive explains why Red turned himself in, so you work Tom side-by-side like Garvey and the bones. A clue board on Tom instead of a clue board on Garvey. 

Episode Two: Louis T Steinhil, Pt 2 

We had Red escaping the warehouse where he was being tortured. A con created by Katarina and The Illusionist. Have Red believe he’s escaping to protect Dom when he’s actually leading them to him. Use Mila to track them should he learn about the tracking chip and remove it himself. 

A return to 2x18 & 2x19: Red’s shooting

Notice how long Red and Mila were at Dom’s house before Katarina showed up, and they were tracking him through the chip in her neck. I think Mila stated something like 20 minutes to half an hour. This woman gave them a head start, then gathered her team to head out. It’s not like she had to rush, she was tracking them. Different when you have Red showing up in the street and taking a bullet in less than 90 seconds after parking. That’s why I continue to say that Liz was being followed from the moment she left Toms warehouse. She wasn’t being tracked like Mila was. So you basically have Tom acting as Mila, conning Liz into his warehouse so the person he alerts can tail her once she leaves. That's how I believe the Cabal got a shot at Red. Tom was their inside man, the inside man Jasper spoke about to Samar. That's why he walked out of federal custody on the Harbormaster case. 

So let me paint this to current episode as I believe it played out. Red escaping a warehouse like Liz leaving Tom’s warehouse at the end of 2x18. Instead of Katarina tracking Mila through the chip in her neck, she and her team hop in the car and tail them as they drive. That’s what I think happened with Liz. Once they got there, it takes little time for them to get a bullet in Dom just like it took less than 90 seconds to get a bullet in Red. That’s what you have. Then you’ve got Red and Liz watching over Dom’s surgery like Dembe and Liz watching over Red’s. 

This is where things get interesting because Mila plays opposite two men. As Mila, she plays opposite Tom - conning Liz. As Francesca, she plays opposite Dr. Nik - saving Red’s life. Then what you have, is Francesca asking for a gun just like Tom asked of Baz. Not because he wanted to help, but because Liz chose to take Red to Tom’s warehouse to save him. It’d be no different than this imposter killing Francesca for warning Red. 

Episode Three: Les Fleurs du Mal

The end scene between Red and Francesca. Need I say more?

Reservations, sending a bottle, the Asian food Reservations, sending a bottle, Wing Yee’s Francesca having terrible judgment with men Liz’s wash - rinse - repeat with Tom

The comment Red made about needing a capable operative stands out to me because at the time in which I believe her memory was wiped, Liz needed a capable operative. She was heading to Andropov’s safehouse to clear her name. 

A return to 2x17: Liz’s birthday dinner

There’s a seed for Red’s flat, but it’s not Keenler, so I’ll leave it out. We’re taken back to Liz’s birthday dinner. Now imagine it playing backward, and I’m posting this because conception is questionable. From Keenler baby - to the “certain truth” about Red - to Liz’s second memory wipe. I kept with the timeline of the Orea bombing, but it’s possible conception was on Liz’s birthday. Especially if this is the true order in which things happened. 

I say this because of the Red - Francesca parallel. It all runs parallel except one detail: Red didn’t join her for dinner, she ate alone. So this opposite makes me question if Keenler slept together on the night of her birthday, and it’ll play out opposite for Red - getting his “yes” from Francesca later. Even more with Laurel’s statement to Ressler in Arioch Cain - red velvet cupcakes and red velvet cake pops. 

There are two more seeds to Keenler baby. Aram in 7x1 making the “swiping right” comment goes back to Alistair Pitt’s episode with Liz and the adoption lady. The “We?” in 7x2 that Liz asked of Ressler goes back to Red and Liz at the start of 3x16 as well as Liz at the end of 6x20 with Aram and Cooper. There could be more small seeds like this, but I’d have to rewatch to see.

Do you have any favorite scifi shows? Or any recommendations?

Well! This is a fun ask. Let me see…

So, I really like sci-fi, but sometimes I also don’t like sci-fi. I overdosed a little bit on spaceship stuff after my years of Star Trek obsession and then BSG (and like, I hear The Expanse is great but I just…haven’t been in the mood), and these days my favorite sci-fi is talky, high-concept atmospheric mystery stuff in a fairly realistic world where something is a little bit weird. What I really DON’T like is violence/shooting/chasing/action, and a lot of sci-fi, unfortunately, is that. (Westworld, I am looking at your ass.) I also am a LITTLE bit over sci-fi as sledgehammery social parable, again a la Star Trek. Even though I’ll always love Star Trek (and will get around to watching Discovery one of these days). 

Some sci-fi TV that I’ve enjoyed recently includes:

(hey surprise, this got very long! so it’s under a cut)

Dark. There’s just one season of this on Netflix right now, but I LOVVVVVED it. Talk about atmospheric. It made me want to move to Germany and live in a forest where it rains all the time. It’s in German – this isn’t a bother to me because I like subtitles, but it’s available dubbed as well if you prefer that. It takes place in a small town and starts with a missing child, and it quickly becomes clear that something strange is going on. Time travel is an element. A central part of it becomes about the way all the characters in the town are interconnected and how the events of the past affect the future. It’s part Lost, part Stranger Things, part Back to the Future. 

The Returned/Les Revenants. So there’s an American show called The Returned as well, and this is not that one – the one I’m talking about is in French (sorry…I swear some ones without subtitles are coming) and was on uh, IFC or something like that. One day in a(n extremely attractive and cinematic) French town in the mountains, a girl comes home from a class field trip…except she died on that field trip years ago, in a bus accident, and her family is completely shocked and freaked out. The same thing is happening all across town. Includes one (1) very creepy child. Very spooky and also super atmospheric. (One reason I loved Dark so much was that aesthetically it reminded me of Les Revenants.)

The 4400. I binged this show and had a window of time in my life where I was super obsessed with it. Premise is similar to The Returned, actually: A bunch of people (4,400 of them to be precise) who were believed to be the victims of alien abductions – across many years – are returned to earth all at the same time, all at the age they left. So you have a man who was taken in the 1950s (Mahershala Ali!) and a little girl from the 1930s, etc., all dropped back into modern-day America – and most of them (all of them? I forget) have mysterious powers of various kinds. Two police detectives (am I predictable or what) investigate. Things escalate from there. It is a little XF-y in a way I appreciate, while also being totally different (and much less arty than something like Les Revenants). 

Stranger Things. I might as well list it…everyone knows about this show but it really is pretty great. Season 1 especially. Huge ET vibes, creepy/Spielbergy, not a cop-out where it’s all a metaphor or something (pet peeve). 

Fringe. This isn’t so recent (well, neither is The 4400), but if you like sci-fi and you haven’t watched it, you should! It starts out being a liiiiiiittle bit of a less-hooky ripoff of XF (a group of FBI folks, including a retired mad scientist basically, investigate paranormal cases), but after a few episodes it finds its groove and it becomes its own weird and wonderful thing. It was a show I really enjoyed and it ended satisfyingly. John Noble as Walter Bishop is fantastic, and one thing I really loved about it was that it was not afraid to make things happen and shake up the premise if needed. 

Jessica Jones. I really, really am not into Marvel or any of the superhero stuff, but I like this show a lot. It puts the idea of having “powers” in a very grounded kind of gritty, cynical, noir-y setting and I enjoy that. It’s also woman-focused, which is nice, and it’s just different from other stuff on TV. I dig it. 

Orphan Black. Man, I loved Orphan Black. What a fun show, and – not necessarily the most important thing to me in a show, but hugely refreshing nonetheless – it’s also very woman-centered. The premise is that a woman named Sarah sees someone who looks exactly like her – right before the doppelganger throws herself in front of a train. And in unraveling the mystery, Sarah learns that she’s a clone and she has a bunch of “sisters.” Tatiana Maslany is FREAKING AMAZINGGGGG as all the various clones. It is definitely sci-fi, but it’s also a lot of fun and just a fast-moving, action-packed (but not in a way that makes my eyes glaze over) cool-ass show. 

Grimm. Grimm was a pretty silly network-y show, but my affection for it really never waned (though it also never really went too far above “mild”). Premise: Basically, that fairytale monsters (broadly speaking) are real and walk among us (disguised for the most part), and there are these people called Grimms who can see them and are supposed to fight them. Lots of ancient documents, old books, mysterious keys, etc. This one dude who is a police detective in Portland (it was shot in Portland and is basically the second Portland-iest show after Portlandia, as far as I can tell) finds out that he’s a Grimm, and he meets this guy who is one of these monsters but also a delightfully civilized clock nerd who becomes his friend and helps him learn about this hidden world, and it’s pretty much monster-of-the-week episodes every week (though there is a mytharc of sorts involving an evil cabal of European royalty or something, snore). I think it’s the people who did Angel (which I never watched; I’m not a Buffy person). It also started the same year as Once Upon a Time, so it was the “other” fairytale show.

The Leftovers. Technically, it’s sci-fi. It’s also just very imaginative storytelling, and is a good example of what I mean by high-concept and atmospheric and something being a little bit weird in an otherwise contemporary setting. (This is a post-Lost Damon Lindelof, and Damon Lindelof has learned from his Lost mistakes, with wonderful results.) The central premise is a sci-fi one (2% of the earth’s population mysteriously vanishes), but aside from that there are also just a lot of kind of fantastic imaginative leaps and surreal settings and…ah, The Leftovers. My standard intro/warning: Season 1, while really good, is VERY depressing; Season 2 becomes marginally less depressing while also changing things up considerably and in my opinion becoming much better; Season 3 is even better than that. Love you, show. 

Lost. I suppose I should mention it even though it’s another obvious one. I have rarely been hooked as hard as I was by the pilot of this show. It doesn’t necessarily deliver on everything it promises, and it’s interesting to think of it in terms of it being one of the first shows to, basically, cancel itself – to choose to end so that it could pace its story effectively and lead to a deliberate ending instead of just vamping forever and trying to keep sucking the audience in for one more season until that stopped working and it was canceled. However, before that happened there was some time-killing, and I think that maybe contributes to people’s perception that it didn’t know what it was doing half the time. A divisive ending that I did not have a problem with. If you watch it in the spirit of being taken on a ride and enjoying the feelings that the twists and turns give you in the moment, you’ll find it more satisfying than if you’re trying to solve every mystery and trying to make it all work out perfectly with every loose end tied up.  

The OA. This was a weird-ass motherfucking show on Netflix and I still don’t know what the fuck it was about. I feel like I dreamed it. It maybe involves angels? And stuff. 

Carnivale. Lord, talk about atmosphere. This was an HBO show several years ago now about a creepy traveling circus in the 1930s. Being on HBO, it’s very violent and dirty and twisted and stuff. I was obsessed with it, and loved watching it although I vaguely remember the ending being not super satisfying? I should rewatch it, really, because I have forgotten a lot about it beyond impressions (it started in 2003). It’s not that sci-fi, but it has kind of mysterious portents and shit like that all over the place. Anytime I see anything remotely carnival-y I’m like AAAHHH CARNIVALE

Westworld. Sigh…I’m having a lot of trouble connecting to the season of Westworld that’s currently airing (Season 2, on HBO). I loved Season 1. My opinion is that they blew their premise too quickly and now they have nowhere to go – it’s just been violent chaos of the sort that puts me to sleep. Literally – one episode a couple of weeks ago I tried to watch and fell asleep during TWICE – two evenings in a row – before I finally got through it on Day 3. Because it was just a bunch of shooting. But the premise is cool – in the undetermined nearish future, there is a giant elaborate theme park where extremely realistic robots interact with the superrich guests who pay to come and basically be super destructive and violent (this show doesn’t have a particularly high opinion of humanity) in an Old West-themed setting. Like Disney World if your dream was to fuck and murder everyone in the Hall of Presidents. It’s made by one of the Nolans so there are lots of twists and also you don’t know what the hell is going on half the time. But there are some high-budget groovy sci-fi set pieces in it, and if you like amazing piano covers of popular songs (sometimes but not always in the in-show context of the player piano in the saloon), that is a fantastic bonus (the music is terrific overall). ROBOTS.

Battlestar Galactica. Speaking of robots. I loved the hell out of this show, although I have my issues with it. I felt when I first saw it (this is the 2000s remake I’m talking about, not the 1970s original) that it was like Star Trek had grown up. It gets more and more high-concept the longer it goes on, and some people weren’t fans of where it ended up (I, again, was fine with it), but it starts out with a hell of a premise: Cylons (humanlike robots originally created by humanity, which then evolved) destroy almost all of the human race except for a few stragglers in a few scattered ships, who have to pull together and somehow survive. Great acting, great writing, big themes, Laura Roslin. 

Black Mirror. This is an anthology series, meaning each one is a short story basically, with different characters, a different near-future setting, and a different premise (often having to do with technology going wrong. In the words of Mallory Ortberg: What If Phones, But Too Much?) Some of them are better than others but if you can take some upsetting conceptual stuff, it’s really a super interesting show. Your bingeing tolerance may vary, but I personally could not handle more than a couple of episodes a night.

Roswell. Holy shit I was so into this fucking teen soap opera about aliens. Also not recent. They might do a remake of this I heard?? MAX + LIZ 4EVA

Millennium. Yes…Chris Carter’s Other Show. I’ve said this before, but in a weird way I feel like this show is…CC’s best work???? Without the chemistry supernova of Mulder and Scully dimming everything around it, the “scary stories” he’s always talking about actually have room to be kind of interesting. It also works with his inclination to do what is essentially an anthology series loosely connected via recurring characters that are almost more narrators/observers than participants. In XF, this makes me want to break things when it results in stagnated character growth and no continuity and endless reset-button-pushing. In Millennium, Frank wandering grimly through the show universe encountering fable after fable (grimmer than XF – less on the stretchy mutants and fat-sucking vampires and lake monsters and Reticulans and spooky green bugs; more serial killers and cults and angels and apocalyptic stuff) actually worked pretty darn well for me. It’s not that the characters aren’t good, but they are VERYYYYY archetypal (kind of like how M&S could have been if not given such aliveness and humanity by David and Gillian, and Morgan and Wong and Vince Gilligan at that). Frank Black is the tormented detective, he has a beautiful kind wife and an innocent young daughter and they live in a beatific yellow house and he has to keep them safe from the evils out in the darkness. You might say this is hammered home a lot. But: the kind of mythic tone of it is a much better fit here than on XF. Lance Henriksen is perfect as Frank, and some of the stories are really absorbing and emotional. I cried during WAY more Millennium episodes (I can think of three or four off the top of my head that I remember WEEPING openly over, one of which stars Darren McGavin) than I ever have at XF. 

Everything changes in Season 2 when Morgan and Wong take over as (I believe) showrunners – things lighten up considerably versus S1; there’s even a Darin episode! With Jose Chung! And the Spotnitz Sanitarium! – and then everything changes again in S3 when they leave. The show does suffer from a lack of cohesion in that sense, and frankly the “mytharc” parts never did a lot for me (loosely, the world is going to end in the year 2000 and a cabal of mysterious dudes something something). But there is a lot of cool shit in this show. There really is. Every few years I attempt a rewatch and never finish; I should try again. In late fall, which is the only time Millennium should be watched. 

 BONUS

Face Off. This isn’t sci-fi per se (it’s a reality competition show, on Syfy), but if you’re a sci-fi person you might love it. The way I describe it to people is very simple: It’s the exact same premise and structure as Project Runway, except instead of fashion, it’s FX makeup. The best thing about it is that everyone is NICE and HELPFUL to each other. It’s a bunch of creative nerds making monsters together and the competition element is there but no one is a dick and there’s no fighting and drama. Michael Westmore, who did the makeup on Star Trek: TNG among many other acclaimed projects, is the mentor (and the dad of the show’s host, McKenzie Westmore), and he pops in to give dad advice to all these starstruck dorks. The new season just started and it’s just a fun show. I have, at times, thought of it as my FAVORITE show on TV. 

Well, that was probably more than you wanted, anon! I feel like I’m missing some, too. TV! I like it.

Eight Questions With Harry Peter Hoblyn

It's been said for years that too much of a good thing is bad for us; I'd happily argue against that. Can you have too many holidays? What about too many meals out or sometimes too much Rosè with friends on a summers evening? Remember what that feels like? The euphoria of it all? The carefree attitude and ability to do whatever we want in the sunshine? So close but just that short nose away currently meaning targets have been dropped in class to Sweets and binge watching At The Races; but too much of both of those will never be too much! It was only 12 months ago that we had no racing at all. Meetings around the globe called off and courses shut down before being colour coded. Many fell into the dreaded Red in France, we were denied the Edmond Blanc, Fontainebleau, Djebel and a plethora of others at all levels.

Luckily the sunshine on the horizon is coming into focus on times that has challenged few, beaten some, given hope to more, courage to others and strength both of will and mind to many.  Those good things will return, as will the sight of green turf on a racecourse and the soft, glossy texture of a racecard in your hand and not forgetting the raspy tone of a bookmaker hollering his place terms and the price of the jolly canvassing your for those purple notes in your pocket. For now im happy to stick to my Red & Black gums and more French Racing on ATR so thanks all the same!

This week's guest Harry Peter Hoblyn of Hyphen Bloodstock and Racing Manager to the red and black stars of Al Asayl Bloodstock. I cannot thank him enough for the detail, time and effort he went into.

Eight Questions With.. Harry Peter Hoblyn!

AH (Ande Humphrey): We start off with a look back to last season and we have to start with The Revenant. What a horse he is for you and the Al Asayl team - how did it feel to watch him win the Prix Daniel Wildenstein and then follow up at Ascot?

HPH (Harry Peter Hoblyn): It was fantastic to see The Revenant land the QEII. His seasonal debut last year was scheduled just a few days after racing was cancelled in France which was unfortunate and then by the time racing was up and running again the ground had got too firm for him. We were a little nervous before the Wildenstein just because it had been so long since his last run but we needn’t have worried as he did it fairly simply. I was at Ascot in 2019 and although he ran a great race, no one wants to be second so to watch him go back last year and beat a strong field was amazing although it was a very different atmosphere to the year before. AH: Will he follow the same path as last year and have a nice long break until the autumn or could we see him out earlier?  HPH: He is set to run in the Prix Edmond Blanc on 3rd April at Saint Cloud, a race that he won in 2019. He will have a G1 penalty this year but Francis is delighted with how he has come through the winter and we are hopeful that he can start off his season in the right way. As far as targets after that both the Lockinge at Newbury and the Prix D’Ispahan at Longchamp are options. Obviously there are races like the Sussex and the Queen Anne through the season but both tend to be run on firmer ground than suits him. All roads will lead to Champions Day at Ascot and hopefully the successful defence of the QEII. I’d love to see him do a bit of globe trotting but we will take each race as it comes and go from there.

AH: If you could have any race back and run it again last season - which would it be? 

HPH: If I could run one race again from last year it would probably be the Euphoria’s listed race at Deauville on 22nd August. She was 2nd behind Makaloun who went on to finish 3rd in the Criterium de Saint Cloud. She’s such a tough little filly and pushed Makaloun all the way. It would have been great to see her get her head in front.

AH: The famous red and black colours have won a few times already this season with Dream Of Stars, Silver Quartz and Count Rostov - how pleasing is it to start so positively? 

HPH: We’ve had 6 winners from 19 runners so far this year which is one of our best starts to a year and hopefully we can build on that for the rest of the season. Silver Quartz seems to be improving as he gets older and is coming over to Lingfield for the Mile race on All Weather Champions Day on Friday (Hollie Doyle booked). He’s a dude of a horse who has found a place in the heart of everyone who has ever had anything to do with him so I’m sure there would be plenty of people who would be happy to see him run well on Friday. Count Rostov seems to be following in his brothers footsteps and improving with age. Their sister Irrepressible has just had her first foal (a Dabirsm filly) so it would be great if SQ and CR could provide a few updates this season.

AH: You've got Le Nomade in the Jockey Club and Grand Prix De Paris, La Viette and Tide in the Diane - we are a long way out but how does it feel to have entries in the Classics?

HPH: It’s great to have entries in those kind of races, that’s what you strive for as an owner breeder and you are using the upper echelons of the stallion ranks. Our goal has always been to breed and race at the highest level and I think that the past few years have shown that we are making progress in that department. Whether the horses that have those entries this year will get there is still to be seen but as you say we are still a good way out at the moment.

AH: Al Asayl have their horses with just two trainers in Francis Henri Graffard and Francois Rohaut in France - is there a reason for this? 

HPH: We have always kept our horses with a small group of trainers rather than spreading them out all over the place. We have supported Francis-Henri Graffard since the early stages of his training career and we have been rewarded for that support with Group 1 wins for The Revenant and Bateel. Bertrand Le Metayer refers to Francis as the ideal son-in-law because he is always so immaculately mannered and professional and I think that’s a pretty fair assessment although personally I wouldn’t let a daughter of mine date someone quite so short!! Jokes aside he has been very successful and in my opinion definitely has to be considered as a potential heir to the throne of French racing. François Rohaut is an exceptional horseman and his care for the horses is second to none. He had a great year for us last year despite all the Covid related setbacks and that success has been rewarded with some decent 2yo’s so hopefully that success can continue. He also trains our Arabians in France headed by Mujazif who won a Group 2 last year.

AH: You have plenty of two-year-olds in France this season and a few unraced 3yos - can you give us a few to follow and why? 

HPH: This year we only sold one yearling so we have sent a decent team into training. We have never been producers of very forward horses, a lot of our mares are quite classically bred and as a result require a bit of time. That being said there are certainly a few two year olds I’m excited to watch progress this season, François Rohaut trained Khaleesy (Galileo x Fleeting Spirit) and her first foal is a Ribchester colt called Life on Fire that had just entered training with François. François has also been pleased with Subtle Truth (Dariyan x Allegria) so far, hopefully he can show the same amount of promise as Euphoria did in her 2yo season. Of the slow burners L’Astronome (Frankel x Tymora) at Graffard’s is a great physical type and although he will need time I’m excited to watch him develop. With regards the unraced 3yos three year olds, a few to look out for are La Viette (Oasis Dream x Hazel Lavery), Kastaka (Dubawi x Elle Galante) and Esperanza (Invincible Spirit x Tereschenko) all three are raw fillies with terrific pedigrees and look like they are going to improve with age.

AH: Finally, what are the goals for Al Asayl and yourself in the 2021 season in France?

HPH: Our goals for 2021 are to continue to produce the best horses possible. Obviously The Revenant will be a big flag bearer for us this year and after he had such an interrupted season last year it would be great to see him have the full season we hoped he would have last year. We’ve got some exciting yearlings at Haras de Vieux Pont at the moment including Bateel’s first foal by Roaring Lion and The Revenant’s half sister by Saxon Warrior so it is important to us that we give them the best possible start before they go into pre-training. 

On a personal level I have developed a bit of a niche for myself managing and selling stallion nominations given to Jockeys upon the horses retirement. I’m working with some of the best jockeys in England, Ireland and France and I hope to build on that throughout the coming year. -

Back soon with another guest and 8 more questions!!

Crotone-Juventus: pre-match & training

After two weeks of national team matches, the championships resume their rights this weekend. For Juventus, whose last Serie A match dates back to September 27 at the Olimpico in Rome (2-2), everything starts again from Crotone this Saturday at 8.45 p.m. It faces a team which has certainly lost its first three matches but which intends to recover against the champions of Italy.

Things have happened since that last match against Roma: the victory on the green carpet against Naples, the arrival in bianconero of Federico Chiesa, the positive tests of Ronaldo and McKennie and therefore the new isolation of the group, the Ramsey's injury, Dybala's flu. All this makes tonight's trip very special but also more unpredictable and complicated for Pirlo and his men.

The internationals returned to base only on Thursday and they therefore had only two training sessions to prepare for this meeting and to revisit the ideas of their new coach. This also applies to Federico Chiesa who should still be directly thrown in the bath today given the absence of Ronaldo and the state of form of Dybala who is just recovering from a stomach flu.

It is therefore not in the best conditions that Juventus travels but the bianconeri are determined to get off on the right foot, to show progress after a mixed trip to Rome, to have fun but also to send a strong message: first to themselves, then to the competition and to all those who hope for a misstep from Juve tonight but also this season.

The team's primary objective will be to bring the three points home. The secondary objective, or rather the hope, is that the bianconeri can live up to the game. Not easy for a team which reunited only two days ago and which has not played anymore. official match for three weeks. All that this team needs for the moment is precisely to play a maximum of matches in order to improve the automatisms. It is therefore only over training and matches that Juventus of the Pirlo era will be able to evolve in the right direction.

Le programme de l'équipe prévoit un départ pour la Calabre ce matin, après avoir effectué un nouveau test au Covid 19 auquel devra se soumettre l'intégralité du groupe (joueurs et staff). Ensuite une mini mise au vert dans un établissement de Crotone en attendant les résultats des tests, avant le départ (uniquement pour les personnes négatives) pour le stade.

Au niveau de la formation, Buffon devrait être titularisé afin de permettre à Szczesny de se reposer après ses matches avec la Pologne et avant le déplacement à Kiev mardi. Devant lui, une défense à trois qui devrait être formée par Danilo, Bonucci et... Demiral qui devrait faire son grand retour au sein du onze de départ, permettant à Chiellini de souffler un peu. Au milieu de terrain, on devrait retrouver Cuadrado et Frabotta sur les côtés et le duo Arthur-Rabiot au centre. Bentancur revenant d'un long voyage, il partira à priori du banc. Devant, un trio d'attaque inédit formé par Kulusveski, Morata et Chiesa qui chercheront à trouver leurs repères et à parfaire leur entente durant la rencontre. Dybala n'étant pas encore au top de sa forme, il partira du banc, tout comme Bernardeschi qui a définitivement réintégré le groupe en début de semaine.

Les formations probables

Crotone (3-5-2): Cordaz; Golemic, Magallan, Luperto; Pedro Pereira, Petriccione, Cigarini, Molina, Reca; Messias, Simy. Remplaçants: Festa, Crespi, Cuomo, Crociata, Rojas, Siligardi, Rispoli, Marrone, Vulic, Eduardo.

Juventus (3-4-3): Buffon; Danilo, Bonucci, Demiral; Cuadrado, Arthur, Rabiot, Frabotta; Kulusevski, Morata, Chiesa. Remplaçants: Szczesny, Pinsoglio, Chiellini, Bernardeschi, Bentancur, Portanova, Dybala, Vrioni.

Arbitre: Fourneau de Rome
