Re: Horse Racing

Toormore claims Craven.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:
Toormore extended his unbeaten record to four with victory in the Novae Bloodstock Insurance Craven Stakes at Newmarket.

Richard Hannon's colt, champion two-year-old last season, was carrying a 3lb penalty for his Group One success in the National Stakes and was handy throughout under Ryan Moore.

The Grey Gatsby kept him company up front and was his only serious challenger inside the final furlong, but connections will have been pleased with the way he knuckled down close home to win by two lengths as the even-money favourite

Wonder-ful double for Godolphin.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:
Godolphin's great start to the season continued as Sudden Wonder edged out Observational in Newmarket's Ł200,000 Tattersalls Millions 3-Y-O Trophy.

Trainer Charlie Appleby won two similar contests last season with Wedding Ring, and Sudden Wonder brought some smart maiden form to the table having raced against fellow Godolphin inmates Outstrip and Pinzolo.

Ready to undergo heart scan.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:
Godolphin have reported Be Ready was suffering from an "atrial fibrillation" when he flopped as second-favourite in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday.

The colt was having just his third run having shown smart form as a juvenile and trainer Saeed bin Suroor had spoken of him in glowing terms in recent weeks.

Re: Horse Racing

Classic redemption for Grandeur.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:
Grandeur atoned for his expensive defeat in the Winter Derby by claiming the Coral Easter Classic All-Weather Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes at Lingfield in the final stride.

Ryan Moore had Jeremy Noseda's grey in the perfect position throughout, but for much of the home straight it appeared that he could not quite catch John Gosden's Dick Doughtywylie.

Re: Horse Racing

Guineas hope Ertijaal delivers.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:
Ertijaal continued his progression when winning the 32Red All-Weather 3 Year Old Championships Conditions Stakes at Lingfield - but he was made to work pretty hard by Passing Star.

From his draw in stall four Paul Hanagan was keen to have the 4-5 favourite handy, and the William Haggas-trained colt sat in fourth or fifth in the early stages.

Rebel all set for big Powers test.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:
Michael Winters is hoping Rebel Fitz can blossom on the big stage over fences when he tackles the Grade One Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The Cork handler has always felt the nine-year-old would come into his own over the larger obstacles and he enjoyed a fine campaign last summer with five wins on the bounce

Fitz powers home at Fairyhouse.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:
Rebel Fitz is set for a busy summer after capitalising on Ballycasey's fall to lift the Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse.

A mixed bag such as the Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary in July and the Galway Plate over fences two weeks later could be on the cards for the versatile and talented nine-year-old.

Re: Horse Racing

Door bags National glory.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:
Jonjo O'Neill won the Boylesports Irish Grand National for the second time in eight years as the well-backed 8-1 favourite Shutthefrontdoor prevailed in a thrilling finish at Fairyhouse.

It was the first time Barry Geraghty had managed to get his hands on the famous prize, and he was close to the pace and travelling well in the JP McManus colours for most of the three miles and five furlongs.

But the Dessie Hughes-trained Golden Wonder made an attempt to slip the field on the home turn and it was only on the short run-in that Shutthefrontdoor poked his head in front as Golden Wonder settled for second, just ahead of Saoirse Dun and Jamsie Hall.

Rizeena thrills Brittain on gallops.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue

Quote:
Rizeena had her trainer Clive Brittain purring with enthusiasm after she turned in an electric workout on the Newmarket gallops as part of her preparation for the Qipco 1000 Guineas.

The ante-post favourite for the fillies' Classic delighted all onlookers as pilot Ryan Moore partnered her over a mile on the Al Bahathri Polytrack on Tuesday morning, accompanied by her regular work companion, Afkar.

Hannon triple-handed in Guineas.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue

Quote:
Richard Hannon has confirmed he will be triple-handed in his bid to train a Classic winner in his own right at the first attempt with Night Of Thunder and Shifting Power joining leading light Toormore in the Qipco 2000 Guineas.

While success at the highest level is nothing new for a man who assisted his father Richard to three of the last four British titles, there is still high expectation ahead of the showdown with Kingman and Australia at Newmarket on May 3.

Exciting Bunker given Dante date.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue

Quote:
Bunker will test his credibility as a possible Investec Derby contender in the Betfred Dante Stakes at York on May 15.

As he is owned in partnership by Al Shaqab Racing, the Hurricane Run colt is a major ride for Frankie Dettori, who helped him to beat subsequent Prix Jean Luc Lagardere winner Karakontie in a Listed race at Deauville last August.
