Re: Horse Racing
Irving not certain for Betfair
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Conditions at Newbury by this Saturday could have forced Paul Nicholls into a reshuffle of troops for the Betfair Hurdle.
The ground is already very soft at the Berkshire course, with further rain on the horizon, and the trainer's reluctance to risk ante-post favourite Irving in such conditions has seen stablemate Irish Saint leap ahead of him in the sponsors' market.

Re: Horse Racing
Walsh booked for Tidal Hennessy run
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Paul Nicholls and Ruby Walsh will be reunited when Tidal Bay tackles the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown on Sunday.
Walsh became available after his intended mount, the Willie Mullins-trained Rubi Ball, was a surprising absentee from the five-day declarations for the Grade One feature, returning lame from a schooling session at Punchestown.

Re: Horse Racing
Magnificent seven for Moriarty.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Carlingford Lough, Champagne Fever and Don Cossack are among seven possible runners in the Dr. P.J. Moriarty Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday.
The John Kiely-trained Carlingford Lough was last seen winning the Topaz Novice Chase at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting, while Don Cossack's most recent appearance was his victory over Carlingford Lough in the Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse at the start of December.

Re: Horse Racing
Henderson keen on Sacre day out
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Nicky Henderson hopes to banish any "bad memories" for Sprinter Sacre when he parades in the paddock at Newbury on Saturday as part of his continuing rehabilitation from a heart condition.
Last year's Queen Mother Champion Chase hero suffered his first defeat in 11 starts over fences when sensationally pulled up in December's Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton, where it quickly emerged he was suffering from an irregular heartbeat.

Re: Horse Racing
Star tops Betfair field.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Rolling Star heads the weights for Saturday's Betfair Hurdle at Newbury after Jeremy Scott did not declare Melodic Rendezvous for the valuable handicap.
Barry Geraghty's mount is one of three runners for Nicky Henderson as he defends the title won by My Tent Or Yours a year ago, with Tony McCoy booked for Gibb River and David Bass for Vasco Du Ronceray.

Re: Horse Racing
Iht girl puts down Classic marker.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Godolphin's Ihtimal could bid for a far more famous Classic after proving her evident superiority in the Listed UAE 1000 Guineas at Meydan.
Campaigned busily in Britain last season by Saeed bin Suroor, she had won both the Sweet Solera and May Hill Stakes before posting a thoroughly respectable third behind Chriselliam in the Fillies' Mile.
The 5-4 favourite was settled in mid division by Silvestre de Sousa as Magroora made the running but Ihtimal gathered momentum towards the centre of the track and scored by three and a quarter lengths going away.

Re: Horse Racing
Hills stunned by Chriselliam death
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Leading Qipco 1000 Guineas hope Chriselliam has been put down after failing to recover from a foot infection.
The Charlie Hills-trained daughter of Iffraaj triumphed in the Fillies Mile at Ascot last season from the classy Rizeena, before connections took the brave decision to send her to the Breeders' Cup.

Its very sad news to lose such a talented horse.

Re: Horse Racing
Ginge grabs Betfair glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Splash Of Ginge put up a game front-running display to spring a 33-1 surprise in the valuable Betfair Hurdle at Newbury.
Ryan Hatch made the most of his 7lb claim and his horse's light weight to land the spoils for the Nigel Twiston-Davies team.
Splash Of Ginge kept on strongly from the final flight to take the prestigious handicap by a length and three-quarters from Dell' Arca (15-2), with Irish Saint (6-1 favourite) third and Cheltenian (8-1) fourth.

Re: Horse Racing
Harry comes out on top
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Harry Topper demonstrated his endless reserves of stamina with an emphatic victory in a slog for the Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury.
Katenko set the pace until just before the run for home where Jason Maguire, who had driven Harry Topper (7-2) to keep up to his work, set sail for the line.

Re: Horse Racing
Last takes Hennessy glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Last Instalment put up a superb performance as he jumped his rivals into the ground in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown.
A brilliant novice but off the track for nearly two years until he returned with a promising third at Thurles last month, Philip Fenton's nine-year-old tracked Roi Du Mee into the first two fences but jumped so well that Brian O'Connell found himself in front, and there he stayed.

Hales - Options open for Al Ferof.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
All Cheltenham Festival options remain open for Al Ferof despite his defeat at Newbury, according to owner John Hales.
The Paul Nicholls-trained nine-year-old was beaten 25 lengths into second by Harry Topper in the Denman Chase on what was just his second try over three miles.

Re: Horse Racing
My Tent straight to Cheltenham.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
My Tent Or Yours is set to go straight to Cheltenham after connections decided not to give him a prep run in the Timeform Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso on Thursday.
The Nicky Henderson-trained seven-year-old will instead have a racecourse gallop ahead of his bid for the Stan James Champion Hurdle next month.
"I'd say he won't be going there," said Frank Berry, racing manager to owner JP McManus.
