Sheikh Mohammed insists "the truth will out" as Lord Stevens continues his inquiry into the ruler of Dubai's equine operations.

The owner's Godolphin operation hit the headlines last year when trainer Mahmood al Zarooni received an eight-year ban from the British Horseracing Authority after admitting administering banned steroids to a number of horses in his care.

Hughes expecting Conor progression.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:

Dessie Hughes insists Our Conor "couldn't be better" ahead of his second crack at Hurricane Fly in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 26.

The Barry Connell-owned youngster burst on to the scene last season when becoming the most impressive winner of the Triumph Hurdle in recent years. A minor setback picked up when having a pipe-opener on the Flat meant he did not reappear until the Ryanair Hurdle over Christmas, where he conceded race fitness and experience to Hurricane Fly and Jezki.

St Nicholas Abbey, Aidan O'Brien's triple Coronation Cup hero, died on Tuesday morning, confirmed Coolmore.

The brilliant seven-year-old, winner of six races at the highest level, had to be put down after he suffered a bout of colic.

Very sad news as he was such a brave racehorse.:(

Middleham Park racing manager Tim Palin is still pinching himself after the syndicate's Toormore was crowned champion two-year-old in the European Thoroughbred Rankings.

Middleham Park Racing is one of the fastest growing ownership groups in the sport, but the team have not had too many horses capable of mixing it at the top level.

All eyes on Tout at Haydock.

Quote:

David Pipe unleashes the second most expensive jumper ever bought at public auction at Haydock when Un Temps Pour Tout runs in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle Trial.

New owners Professor Caroline Tisdall and Bryan Drew went to £450,000 for the five-year-old in November, which means only JP McManus has paid more for a National Hunt horse when forking out 530,000 guineas way back in 2004 for Garde Champetre.

Sire De Grugy continued his domination of the two-mile division in the absence of the brilliant Sprinter Sacre with a superb display in the Sodexo Clarence House Chase at Ascot.

Winner of the Tingle Creek and the Desert Orchid on his last two starts, Gary Moore's stable star was sent off the 5-4 favourite to add a second Grade One event to his impressive CV and always travelled well for Jamie Moore as Kauto Stone set the pace.
