Re: Horse Racing
The mighty Sprinter Sacre finishes second at Ascot to Dodging Bullets.

Quote:
Sprinter Sacre was beaten by Dodging Bullets on his comeback in the Sodexo Clarence House Chase at Ascot .
Nicky Henderson's superstar travelled with his usual fluency and drew gasps from the crowds with some of his leaps in the hands of Barry Geraghty, but he had no answer to the Tingle Creek winner.

Re: Horse Racing
Vautour back in business.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Vautour assumed clear favouritism for the JLT Novices' Chase at Cheltenham after getting his fencing career back on track with a facile success in the Leopardstown Killiney Novice Chase at the Dublin venue.
Willie Mullins' six-year-old put in a good clear round to make amends for his defeat at the same course over Christmas, where a bad mistake all but put paid to his chance.

Re: Horse Racing
Djak is six of the best for Mullins.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Djakadam booked his ticket for the Betfred Gold Cup and finally lived up to the hype in providing Willie Mullins with a recording-breaking sixth win in the Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase at Gowran Park.
At the beginning of the season the-then five-year-old was viewed as a possible for the blue riband event at Cheltenham in March and he was set the stiff task of taking in the Hennessy Gold Cup on his first run of the season.

Re: Horse Racing
Saphir sparkles in Cleeve.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Saphir Du Rheu evoked memories of the great Big Buck's with victory in the galliardhomes.com Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Winner of this Grade Two in 2009 and 2012, Big Buck's, like Saphir Du Rheu, was owned by Andy Stewart and trained by Paul Nicholls, and t he similarities do not end there, as Saphir Du Rheu was reverting to hurdles after he fell over fences - just as the great staying hurdler had done before he embarked upon a breathless winning run.

Clouds claims Cup glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Many Clouds showed class and bravery in equal measure to win a fine renewal of the BetBright Cup Chase at Cheltenham.
Oliver Sherwood's Hennessy hero added to his sizeable Newbury haul in November with a superb round of fencing under Leighton Aspell.
Smad Place and Dynaste gave chase late on, but the always-prominent Many Clouds (4-1) had enough in reserve to keep the former at bay by a length and a quarter.

Re: Horse Racing
Faugheen fancied for Walsh mount.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Charlie Swan expects Ruby Walsh to desert Hurricane Fly in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, despite his historic fifth victory in the Irish equivalent on Sunday.
Swan partnered Istabraq to four wins in the Leopardstown Grade One between 1998 and 2001, as well as steering Aidan O'Brien's charge to three triumphs in the big one at Cheltenham.

Re: Horse Racing
Henderson happy with Sprinter.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Nicky Henderson can see no reason why Sprinter Sacre should not improve on his comeback effort in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot.
Once regarded as unbeatable, the nine-year-old was having just his second start since the Punchestown Festival of 2013 when second to Dodging Bullets at the Berkshire track.
