Re: Horse Racing
Conti to contest Bowl.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Silviniaco Conti will try to improve on his Cheltenham Gold Cup fourth in next week's Betfred Bowl at Aintree.
Paul Nicholls' King George hero was beaten just a length and three-quarters at Prestbury Park and the Ditcheat trainer has admitted he is unsure whether Silviniaco Conti was caught out by the Cheltenham hill that day.

Re: Horse Racing
Al Shaqab swoop for Ruler interest.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Al Shaqab Racing has purchased a "significant interest" in the Coolmore-owned Ruler Of The World, last season's Epsom Derby winner.
The four-year-old Galileo colt will remain in training with Aidan O'Brien and will continue to be ridden by the Ballydoyle handler's son, Joseph.

Re: Horse Racing
High-class Scottish Champion entry.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
My Tent Or Yours and The New One are among a classy entry of 55 for the QTS Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr on April 12.
Second and third behind Jezki in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, both camps felt they had excuses with My Tent Or Yours refusing to settle and The New One being hampered by the fall of Our Conor.

Re: Horse Racing
Scudamore books Carberry for Dude.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Michael Scudamore has secured the services of Paul Carberry for Monbeg Dude in the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday week.
Carberry, who won the world's greatest steeplechase in 1999 on Bobbyjo, trained by his father, Tommy, was in the saddle when giving Monbeg Dude a fine waiting ride as Scudamore recorded his biggest training success to date in last season's Coral Welsh National.

Re: Horse Racing
Telescope has Sandown in sight.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Sir Michael Stoute will tread a tried-and-tested route this season with Telescope as the Great Voltigeur winner returns to action in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown next month.
The four-year-old was one of the talking horses of last season but missed the Derby and did not return to action until July when he won a three-runner race at Leicester by 24 lengths.

Re: Horse Racing
Straight to Newmarket for Ihtimal.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Saeed bin Suroor has confirmed Ihtimal will make her return to European action in the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on May 4.
Winner of the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket and the May Hill Stakes at Doncaster, the daughter of Shamardal brought her juvenile campaign to an end by finishing a creditable third behind the ill-fated Chriselliam in the Fillies' Mile.

Re: Horse Racing
Lynam Power-ed up for big night.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Eddie Lynam is back in Dubai with two of his stable stars in a bid to finally strike gold at Meydan on Saturday night.
Balmont Mast seeks to improve on last year's cracking second in the Golden Shaheen, while Sole Power also returns following a close fourth in the Al Quoz Sprint which came just 12 months on from his second in the same race.

Re: Horse Racing
Sheikh outlines Tapeta concerns.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum is concerned the "inconsistent" nature of Meydan's Tapeta surface could count against Mukhadram when he goes for glory in the Dubai World Cup on Saturday.
The William Haggas-trained five-year-old mixed it in some of Britain's top middle-distance events in 2013, landing the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown and the York Stakes as well as being placed in the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the Coral-Eclipse.

Re: Horse Racing
Hunt set for National challenge.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Hunt Ball is "99 per cent certain" to line up in the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday week.
The nine-year-old was bought by American-based ownership syndicate Atlantic Equine last May, having previously carried the colours of Anthony Knott to a number of victories, including at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival.

Re: Horse Racing
Cavalry charged up for Gold repeat.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Saeed bin Suroor is confident veteran stayer Cavalryman can successfully defend his crown in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan on Saturday.
The Godolphin team do not have too many eight-year-olds in training, but Cavalryman has already proved his worth this year, running away with the Nad Al Sheba Trophy on his return to action at the start of the month. He was a comfortable winner of this two-mile contest 12 months ago and will be favourite to get the job done again under Silvestre de Sousa.

Re: Horse Racing
O'Brien forecasts World rule.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...d+rule&day=Fri
Quote:
Joseph O'Brien, the man in the hotseat when Ruler Of The World makes his debut for new part-owners Al Shaqab Racing in the Dubai World Cup, believes the colt has the scope to enjoy a long and prosperous season.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien's son reached Meydan ahead of his father specifically to partner the Investec Derby winner in some light work on the Tapeta track. The Coolmore horses went out just before 7am on a beautifully warm morning and Ruler Of The World enjoyed himself in a swinging canter, with no questions asked

Re: Horse Racing
Stellar names in Aintree Hurdle.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Hurricane Fly and Annie Power are among the potential opponents for The New One in the Doom Bar Aintree Hurdle on Thursday.
The New One was narrowly beaten by Zarkandar as a novice in the two-and-a-half-mile contest 12 months ago and is set for a second crack at the Grade One prize following his luckless third in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Re: Horse Racing
Lieutenant lines up Bowl repeat.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Last year's winner First Lieutenant is among 14 entries for the Betfred Bowl Chase at Aintree on Thursday.
The Mouse Morris-trained nine-year-old got the better of Menorah 12 months ago and is in line for a return to Merseyside after being a late withdrawal from the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup, having not eaten up on the morning of the race.
