Tony McCoy believes a burning desire to ride 300 winners in a jumps season affected his judgment over how he handled a recent injury.

The 19-times champion jockey was initially sidelined for a short spell after taking a crashing fall at Worcester on October 9, but aggravated an old rib injury at Exeter earlier this month.

Cue primed for Betfair defence.

Colin Tizzard is hopeful history can repeat itself as Cue Card aims to retain his crown in what promises to be another thrilling renewal of the Betfair Chase at Haydock Park.

The eight-year-old might be a dual Cheltenham Festival winner having annihilated the opposition in the 2010 Champion Bumper and landed last year's Ryanair Chase, but his brilliant display on Merseyside 12 months ago was arguably a career-best effort.

New One excels in Haydock romp.

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

Quote:

The New One cemented his position as a strong Champion Hurdle contender with a crisp performance in the inaugural running of the Betfair Price Rush Hurdle at Haydock Park.

An unlucky third in the Festival showpiece last season, the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained six-year-old maintained his unbeaten start to the new campaign by easily taking this valuable prize over two miles.

Faugheen turns on the style.

Ante-post Champion Hurdle favourite Faugheen toyed with his rivals in the Coral Hurdle at Ascot.

Ruby Walsh made most of the running aboard the Cheltenham Festival-winning six-year-old, who is now unbeaten in seven starts, and was in no particular hurry at the head of affairs, but his companion largely jumped accurately and with economic purpose.

Walsh cool on Faugheen odds.

Quote:

Ruby Walsh feels the bookmakers may have overreacted in cutting Faugheen's Champion Hurdle odds following Saturday's Ascot win.

Walsh was nearly motionless in the saddle as Willie Mullins' unbeaten star got his season off to a perfect start in the Coral Hurdle, but the jockey feels it was only what several other top quality hurdlers would have done.

Stiffer tasks await Faugheen as the season progresses and although Walsh is of the belief his mount could be well up to mixing it with the best later in the campaign, he still has a bit to prove as yet.

Jonjo O'Neill's unbeaten More Of That will face six rivals as he makes his eagerly anticipated return to action in the bet365 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on Saturday.

Having started last season at a lowly level, he progressed through the ranks to win the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Ferstival.

Connections of Irving are hoping he gets his career back on track in the StanJames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on Saturday.

A smart performer on the level in Germany, he quickly emerged as one of last season's best novices , but Paul Nicholls' charge disappointed at the Cheltenham Festival and took a heavy fall upon his return to action at Wincanton in the Elite Hurdle.

The British Horseracing Authority has welcomed what it described as "extremely positive news" that the Government will look into replacing the current levy system in the new year.

A new 'racing right' was not mentioned by Chancellor George Osborne in his speech on Wednesday but it was within his Autumn Statement document.

No dodging Bullets at Sandown.

Dodging Bullets had the right ammunition to take the 888Sport Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.

With crack two-milers Sprinter Sacre and Sire De Grugy on the sidelines, the way was clear for a new name on the Grade One roll of honour and Sam Twiston-Davies and his mount were full of running two out.

Going on from Somersby, who had been to the head of affairs throughout, the Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old never looked like stopping up the hill. Hinterland was third for Nicholls in the hands of Noel Fehily
