Champion show from super Fly.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Hurricane Fly landed his fourth consecutive BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown in a thrilling finish.
Sent off the 4-7 favourite as he again took on young pretenders Our Conor and Jezki, the Willie Mullins-trained 10-year-old was settled in second by Ruby Walsh as the veteran Captain Cee Bee took them along in the Grade One contest.

Re: Horse Racing
Trifolium surges to Arkle glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Trifolium proved jockey Bryan Cooper right with a brilliant display in the Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown.
As Gigginstown House Stud's new number one jockey Cooper could have ridden the better-fancied Mozoltov, but instead sided with the Charles Byrnes-trained 7-1 shot despite the fact that the seven-year-old chased home reopposing 11-8 favourite Defy Logic in the Racing Post Novice Chase over the course and distance last month.

Re: Horse Racing
Hughes retains Conor faith.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Dessie Hughes is confident Our Conor will head to the Cheltenham Festival with a "fighting chance" of claiming Champion Hurdle glory after making Hurricane Fly pull out all the stops at Leopardstown on Sunday.
Last year's devastating Triumph Hurdle winner was firmly put in his place by Hurricane Fly in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown's Christmas Festival, but with improvement expected,

Re: Horse Racing
Jezki team eye Champion redemption.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Jessica Harrington admits Jezki ran far too free to do himself justice when finishing a close-up last of four in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle.
The four-times Grade One winner was second behind Hurricane Fly in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown's Christmas Festival and having encountered some trouble in running, connections were optimistic of at least getting closer to Willie Mullins' charge at the Foxrock track on Sunday

Certify set for Dubai return
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Certify is one of three Godolphin entries in the Cape Verdi at Meydan in Dubai on Thursday.
The unbeaten filly has not raced since the end of her two-year-old campaign, having been one of 22 horses suspended from racing during April and October last year in relation to the Mahmood Al Zarooni scandal which saw the trainer banned for eight years after administering banned steroids to horses in his care.

Re: Horse Racing
Cross to bid for World domination.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
At Fishers Cross will head straight for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival after bouncing back to form at Prestbury Park on Saturday.
The seven-year-old looked a staying hurdler to be reckoned with when winning at Cheltenham and Aintree last spring, but disappointed on his first two starts of the new campaign in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury and the Long Walk at Ascot.

Re: Horse Racing
Rain pain for Nicholls.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
The weather could scupper Paul Nicholls' plans to send Calipto to Musselburgh for Cheltenham Festival Trials Day on Sunday.
The French import made a sparkling start to his British career when scoring at Newbury and is as low as 10/1 for the JCB Triumph Hurdle.

Re: Horse Racing
Ruby could head straight for Arkle.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Rock On Ruby could head straight for the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham without the aid of another run.
The 2012 Champion Hurdle hero made a smart start to his career over fences when scoring at Plumpton in mid-December, but trainer Harry Fry has been forced to sidestep subsequent targets with his stable star due to the prevailing soft ground.

Certify back with a bang.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...s&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Certify made a triumphant return from 489 days off the track when maintaining her unbeaten record in the Group Two Cape Verdi at Meydan.
The Godolphin filly, trained by Charlie Appleby, was held up towards the rear of the five-runner field and, despite running free in the early stages, travelled ominously well on the outside as they turned for home.

Re: Horse Racing
Henderson eager for Whisky run
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Nicky Henderson is praying Sandown is given the green light to allow Oscar Whisky to continue his education over fences in the Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices' Chase.
The top-class hurdler was narrowly beaten by Taquin Du Seuil on his chasing debut at Cheltenham in November, but has struck twice at Prestbury Park since and will aim to complete the hat-trick against just two opponents in the Grade One feature.

Re: Horse Racing
Bravo for Oscar in Scilly Isles.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Oscar Whisky landed the odds in the Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown Park, but he had to work hard to take the Grade One contest.
Nicky Henderson's nine-year-old was sent off the 1-6 favourite to beat two rivals, but for a long way his backers will have been fretting as he jumped sloppily at the back for Barry Geraghty.

Re: Horse Racing
Saphir sparkles in thriller.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Saphir Du Rheu continued his winning streak with a game display in the Burns Pet Nutrition Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las.
Wins at Sandown and Kempton have seen him take a big hike in the weights and he was conceding nearly a stone to his main market rival, Whisper, who is owned by Dai Walters, the Ffos Las supremo.

Re: Horse Racing
Ricci leaves Annie call to Mullins
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Leading owner Rich Ricci trusts Willie Mullins to make the right call over which race Annie Power should contest at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
The six-year-old stretched her unbeaten record to 10 with another dominant display at Doncaster last weekend and is in the rare position of being considered a major contender for the Champion Hurdle over two miles and the World Hurdle over three.

Re: Horse Racing
Ferof ground concerns for Nicholls
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Paul Nicholls has warned Al Ferof could bypass the Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury on Saturday if the ground is too testing.
Should he miss the Grade Two over three miles, the grey would go straight for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup or possibly the Ryanair Chase.
"I'd like to see decent ground for him and I suspect if it's testing he will end up waiting for Cheltenham," said Nicholls.
