Re: Horse Racing
New team expect pace to tell.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Nigel Twiston-Davies believes The New One's acceleration could prove to be a key factor in the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.
At a press day at his Naunton stables, Twiston-Davies pointed out that his stable star had covered the last furlongs faster than Champion Hurdle winner Hurricane Fly when landing the Neptune Management Investment Novice's Hurdle at last year's Festival.

"Fabulous" Conor exciting Hughes.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.aspx?hlid=542750&lid=&raceid=&title="Fabul ous"+Conor+exciting+Hughes&ref=PA+Racing+Feed&nav= home&sub=%26quot;Fabulous%26quot;+Conor+exciting+H ughes&day=Fri
Quote:
Dessie Hughes wishes the Stan James Champion Hurdle was next week, such is the condition of his representative Our Conor.
Hughes, who won the race as a jockey on Monksfield in 1979 and already twice as a trainer with dual winner Hardy Eustace (2004-05), is banking on a return to Prestbury Park as the springboard to enable his five-year-old to turn the tables on the current champion, Hurricane Fly

Bobs Worth to swerve Newbury gallop.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Bobs Worth will gear up for his Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup defence with a spin on the Lambourn gallops on Sunday.
Nicky Henderson had been considering the possibility of sending the reigning champion to Newbury for a racecourse gallop, but testing ground at the Berkshire venue has forced the trainer into a rethink.

Re: Horse Racing
Simenon makes Dubai debut.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Willie Mullins' globetrotting star Simenon makes his Dubai debut in the District One-sponsored Nad Al Sheba Trophy at Meydan on Saturday.
Narrowly beaten by the Queen's Estimate in a thrilling Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last summer, the seven-year-old was carefully prepared for a tilt at the Melbourne Cup and ran with great credit in the Flemington showpiece to finish fourth.

Re: Horse Racing
Milan takes Grimthorpe spoils.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Night In Milan (14-1) put up a superb display of jumping to run his rivals ragged in the William Hill Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster.
Keith Reveley's eight-year-old won on Town Moor on his penultimate start but was pulled up in the Sky Bet Chase back there a month later in soft ground.

Tom Scudamore had a hairy moment before capitalising on a rare ride for the still all-conquering Venetia Williams stable in the StanJames.com Supporting Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury.

Re: Horse Racing
Triolo given Gold go-ahead.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Triolo D'Alene is set to take his chance in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup, said trainer Nicky Henderson.
The Hennessy Gold Cup winner has a clutch of entries at the Cheltenham Festival, but a promising workout on Sunday morning convinced connections to go for the big one.

Re: Horse Racing
Mullins eyes World rule with Annie.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Unbeaten mare Annie Power is set to take her chance in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham next week with Ruby Walsh riding.
The six-year-old also holds entries in the Stan James Champion Hurdle and the OLBG Mares' Hurdle, and her target at Prestbury Park has been the subject of speculation for many weeks.

Re: Horse Racing
Walsh: Annie can go the distance.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Ruby Walsh is confident the step up to three miles will not be a problem for Annie Power when she tackles the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham next week.
The potential Festival target of Willie Mullins' unbeaten mare has been the subject of much debate in recent weeks, with the Champion Hurdle over two miles, the OLBG Mares' Hurdle over two and a half and the three-mile World Hurdle all considered.

My Tent suffers 'tender' sole issue.

My Tent Or Yours' Cheltenham Festival preparations have taken a jolt after trainer Nicky Henderson said the Stan James Champion Hurdle aspirant suffered "a discreet puncture" on the sole of a hoof.

Re: Horse Racing
More Of That ride up for grabs.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Connections of More Of That will wait as late as possible before deciding who will come in for the ride on the Ladbrokes World Hurdle candidate.
The Jonjo O'Neill-trained six-year-old burst on to the scene this season with an impressive display in a Haydock handicap in November, and a month later he was stepped up in class for the Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham, where he was a cosy winner under JP McManus' retained jockey Tony McCoy.

Re: Horse Racing
Rizeena given dual Guineas options.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Clive Brittain insists the Qipco 1000 Guineas remains the preferred option for Rizeena, despite also giving her an entry for the 2000 Guineas.
Winner of the Moyglare Stud Stakes last term, Rizeena was last seen finishing second to the ill-fated Chriselliam in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket in September.
