Sheikh awaiting inquiry "truth".
http://www.attheraces.info/article.aspx?hlid=541342&lid=&raceid=&title=Sheikh +awaiting+inquiry+"truth"&ref=PA+Racing+Feed&nav=h ome&sub=Sheikh+awaiting+inquiry+%26quot;truth%26qu ot;&day=Mon
Quote:
Sheikh Mohammed insists "the truth will out" as Lord Stevens continues his inquiry into the ruler of Dubai's equine operations.
The owner's Godolphin operation hit the headlines last year when trainer Mahmood al Zarooni received an eight-year ban from the British Horseracing Authority after admitting administering banned steroids to a number of horses in his care.

Re: Horse Racing
Hughes expecting Conor progression.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Dessie Hughes insists Our Conor "couldn't be better" ahead of his second crack at Hurricane Fly in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 26.
The Barry Connell-owned youngster burst on to the scene last season when becoming the most impressive winner of the Triumph Hurdle in recent years. A minor setback picked up when having a pipe-opener on the Flat meant he did not reappear until the Ryanair Hurdle over Christmas, where he conceded race fitness and experience to Hurricane Fly and Jezki.

Re: Horse Racing
Mullins targets Ascot and Haydock.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Willie Mullins appears to be preparing another assault on this weekend's British action with entries at both of the principal Saturday meetings at Ascot and Haydock.
The champion trainer stated his intentions at the start of the campaign to send more of his horses on their travels and has been as good as his word, saddling runners at Aintree, Ascot, Cheltenham, Kempton, Newbury and Warwick this term.

St Nicholas Abbey dies.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
St Nicholas Abbey, Aidan O'Brien's triple Coronation Cup hero, died on Tuesday morning, confirmed Coolmore.
The brilliant seven-year-old, winner of six races at the highest level, had to be put down after he suffered a bout of colic.

Very sad news as he was such a brave racehorse.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Frankie Dettori is set to return to competitive action "within the next 10 days", said the jockey's business manager Peter Burrell.
Dettori has been sidelined since October 2 when he suffered a fractured ankle in a fall going down to the start before a race at Nottingham.

Re: Horse Racing
Fly spearheads Champion entry.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Defending champion Hurricane Fly heads 18 entries for the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on March 11.
The Willie Mullins-trained 10-year-old will be bidding to become the sixth three-time winner of hurdling's premier event and the first since Istabraq - successful for Aidan O'Brien in 1998, 1999 and 2000 - and also the first not to achieve the feat in successive years.

Re: Horse Racing
Rankings joy for Toormore team.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Middleham Park racing manager Tim Palin is still pinching himself after the syndicate's Toormore was crowned champion two-year-old in the European Thoroughbred Rankings.
Middleham Park Racing is one of the fastest growing ownership groups in the sport, but the team have not had too many horses capable of mixing it at the top level.

Re: Horse Racing
Chriselliam recovering well.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Chriselliam is reported to be "well on the road to recovery" from a poisoned foot that has halted her training schedule.
The filly, rated the champion two-year-old of her sex in the European Thoroughbred Rankings on Thursday, is making good progress in the Valley Equine Hospital at Lambourn.

Re: Horse Racing
All eyes on Tout at Haydock.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
David Pipe unleashes the second most expensive jumper ever bought at public auction at Haydock when Un Temps Pour Tout runs in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle Trial.
New owners Professor Caroline Tisdall and Bryan Drew went to Ł450,000 for the five-year-old in November, which means only JP McManus has paid more for a National Hunt horse when forking out 530,000 guineas way back in 2004 for Garde Champetre.

Re: Horse Racing
Super Sire puts on Ascot best
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Sire De Grugy continued his domination of the two-mile division in the absence of the brilliant Sprinter Sacre with a superb display in the Sodexo Clarence House Chase at Ascot.
Winner of the Tingle Creek and the Desert Orchid on his last two starts, Gary Moore's stable star was sent off the 5-4 favourite to add a second Grade One event to his impressive CV and always travelled well for Jamie Moore as Kauto Stone set the pace.

Re: Horse Racing
Melodic passes Champion test.
Quote:
Melodic Rendezvous got his season back on track with a game success in the stanjames.com Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock Park.
Jeremy Scott's stable star was found to have torn a muscle after finishing fifth in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and returned to his best by capturing the scalp of the smart Ptit Zig.
