Re: Horse Racing
Court just champion for Power play.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Trainer Martin Keighley is in confident mood as he prepares Champion Court for Saturday's Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Fourth in the King George last season, the eight-year-old fared even better when winning over the same course and distance of this weekend's highlight in April.

Re: Horse Racing
Nicholls big guns ready to roll.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Jockey Daryl Jacob has a huge decision to make on Saturday week as two of Paul Nicholls' stable stars are set to reappear on the same afternoon but at different ends of the county.
Last year's Betfair Chase winner Silviniaco Conti is due to defend his title at Haydock, while Nicholls' first Paddy Power Gold Cup winner Al Ferof is on target to run at Ascot in the Amlin 1965 Chase.
Al Ferof has not been seen since his success at Cheltenham a year ago and has the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day as his first major target of the campaign.

Re: Horse Racing
Fab Fly holds sway in Morgiana.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Hurricane Fly is one of nine remaining possibles - six of which are stable companions - for Sunday's StanJames.com Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown.
The dual Champion Hurdle winner has had this race as his aim since the summer and took the first Grade One hurdle of the season in Britain or Ireland 12 months ago

Re: Horse Racing
Geraghty keeping Grandouet faith
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Barry Geraghty believes Grandouet will have learned plenty for the experience at Sandown on Saturday when the classy hurdler got rid of his jockey at the final fence.
Nicky Henderson's six-year-old was expected to take high rank among the novice chasers this season.

Re: Horse Racing
Commander braced for Hennessy.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Imperial Commander is set to take his chance in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on November 30, rather than the Betfair Chase at Haydock a week earlier.
The 2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero has been lightly raced in recent years having suffered various setbacks, and was pulled up in the Grand National in April.

Re: Horse Racing
Treve has Ascot option.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Treve could grace the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot next year after being named Cartier Horse Of The Year on Tuesday night.
Trainer Criquette Head-Maarek believes the mile-and-a-quarter Group One would suit the unbeaten Arc de Triomphe winner on the way to trying to defend her Longchamp crown next October.
"She will have a prep race in France, maybe the Ganay, and then I'd like to go to Ascot during the Royal meeting. The Prince of Wales's Stakes would be a good race for her," she told At The Races.

Re: Horse Racing
Big guns in Newcastle entry
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Zarkandar, The New One and My Tent Or Yours are the star names in the StanJames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle after 22 entries were revealed for the Newcastle showpiece on November 30.
The Paul Nicholls-trained Zarkandar only met with defeat once last season, when fourth in the Champion Hurdle, and regained the winning thread in beating The New One at Aintree

Re: Horse Racing
Clonmel starting point for Arvika.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Connections of Arvika Ligeonniere are looking forward to starting the eight-year-old's second season over fences in the Clonmel Oil Chase at the County Tippperary course on Thursday.
The Rich Ricci-owned gelding showed himself to be a tip-top prospect by winning all five of his completed starts last term culminating in the Ryanair Novice Chase at Punchestown.

Re: Horse Racing
Arvika strikes Oil at Clonmel.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Arvika Ligeonniere got his campaign off to a flying start with a clear-cut success in the Clonmel Oil Chase at the County Tipperary course.
The Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old took over from the pace-setting Rubi Light before the second-last fence and then saw off the challenge of Toner D'Oudairies.
Ruby Walsh pushed out Rich Ricci's second-season chaser, who was sent off the 4-5 favourite, on the run-in to pull away from the opposition. Texas Jack was third.

Re: Horse Racing
Taq on track for Cheltenham date.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Trainer Jonjo O'Neill should learn a lot more about Taquin Du Seuil's capabilities as a jumper after his clash with Oscar Whisky at Cheltenham on Friday.
The Steel Plate And Sections Novices' Chase is usually a good starting point for future stars over fences and has been won by the likes of Dynaste, Imperial Commander and Denman in recent years
