Re: Horse Racing
Henderson perfectly happy with Tent.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
My Tent Or Yours confirmed his well-being ahead of the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham with a pleasing workout at Seven Barrows.
Nicky Henderson said the dual Grade One winner has now recovered from a wound in the sole of a foot which had led to a slight concern over his participation in the big race on the opening day of the Festival.

Re: Horse Racing
Faugheen looms over Neptune field.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Faugheen heads a seven-strong team from the Willie Mullins stable for the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham on Wednesday.
The six-year-old tops the betting for the two-mile five-furlong Grade One on the strength of a perfect record to date in three races over the smaller obstacles, plus a bumper and a point-to-point.

Quote:
Big Buck's and Annie Power are among 16 confirmations for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday.
Big Buck's will be aiming to secure a remarkable fifth victory in the three-mile Grade One, having missed last year's renewal through injury.

Re: Horse Racing
Al and Dynaste top Ryanair field.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Al Ferof and Dynaste top a total of 21 possibles for Thursday's Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Al Ferof, a former Festival winner for Paul Nicholls in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, has won one of his three outings this term, finishing a distant second in the Denman Chase on very testing ground at Newbury most recently.

Re: Horse Racing
Fallon hits Meydan heights.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Former champion jockey Kieren Fallon was in cracking form at Meydan as he teamed up with Saeed Bin Suroor to land a double highlighted by the success of Prince Bishop in the Group One Al Maktoum Challenge Round Three.
The seven-year-old (5-1), winner of Round Two last time, burst through to lead inside the final furlong and take the honours by a length and a quarter from Sanshaawes, with Surfer third and Cat O'Mountain fourth.

Re: Horse Racing
Soumillon strikes on super Shea.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Shea Shea put up a scintillating display under a great ride from Christophe Soumillon as he lifted the Group Three Meydan Sprint in Dubai for the second successive year.
Soumillon took a gamble as he switched Mike de Kock's speedster from stall six in the centre of the course to the near-side rail.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Hurricane Fly will face eight rivals when he bids for a third victory in the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday.
Willie Mullins' brilliant 10-year-old will be aiming to secure an incredible 20th Grade One success in the feature event on the opening day of the Festival.

Re: Horse Racing
Cheltenham team monitor ground.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Cheltenham clerk of the course Simon Claisse has refused to rule out the prospect of watering for the final two days of the Festival.
Following one of the wettest winters on record, it seems remarkable the taps may be turned on at Prestbury Park, but that is a possibility as the ground is drying up and there is no rain forecast for the coming days.

Re: Horse Racing
Quinn targets another Triumph.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Countrywide Flame gave John Quinn one of his biggest wins to date when landing the JCB Triumph Hurdle back in 2012 and, two years on, the Yorkshire-based trainer has two leading chances in Pearl Castle and Rutherglen.
The Paul Gaffney-owned Pearl Castle has enjoyed a good start to his career over obstacles, with two wins and a third from his first three races.

Re: Horse Racing
Suspensory problem sidelines Chris.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Captain Chris will miss Friday's Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup and the rest of the season after suffering a setback, his trainer Philip Hobbs has revealed.
The 10-year-old has been in fantastic form this season, building on an encouraging comeback third in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon with brilliant victories at Kempton and Ascot.

Re: Horse Racing
Judgement day beckons for Fly.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Ruby Walsh reports Hurricane Fly in fine shape after giving the dual Stan James Champion Hurdle winner a spin on the track ahead of Tuesday's showpiece at Cheltenham.
With a world-record 19 Grade One victories to his credit, the Willie Mullins-trained 10-year-old now bids to become only the sixth horse to land this sought-after prize three times.

Re: Horse Racing
Special One bids for Champion glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
The New One attempts to enhance his excellent course record when he goes for the Stan James Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday.
The six-year-old has saved his very best efforts for the Prestbury Park circuit, winning four of his six starts there, and was arguably most impressive when showing scintillating acceleration to win the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at last year's Festival.

Injured Maguire out of Festival.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Jason Maguire will miss the Cheltenham Festival after he suffered a fractured sternum and bleeding on his liver in a fall at Stratford on Monday.
The Grand National-winning jockey was partnering the John Quinn-trained Scots Gaelic in a two-mile handicap hurdle when he was unseated at the second flight and was kicked in the stomach by another horse.
