Re: Horse Racing
Faugheen in line for Kempton.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
British racegoers are set to have another chance to see Faugheen in the flesh over the festive period after trainer Willie Mullins nominated the William Hill Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day as the likely target for his exciting charge.
A brilliant winner at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring, Faugheen stretched his unbeaten record under Rules to six with a dominant comeback victory in last month's Coral Hurdle at Ascot.

Re: Horse Racing
International test for New One.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Sam Twiston-Davies believes The New One needs to win the StanJames.com International Hurdle at Cheltenham to keep his Champion Hurdle dreams firmly alive.
The six-year-old was a luckless third in last season's two-mile blue riband, flying up the famous hill having been badly hampered by the fatal fall of Our Conor, leaving connections wondering what might have been.

Re: Horse Racing
Frankie claims Caspian Gold.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Niceonefrankie turned the usually competitive Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at Cheltenham into a procession.
Venetia Williams' eight-year-old jumped his rivals into submission under Aidan Coleman to take the big handicap at odds of 16-1.
Niceonefrankie was at the front for a long way and though he grew weary late on, he was still six lengths too strong for Barrakilla, with Edgardo Sol another half a length away in third.

Re: Horse Racing
Mullins banks on Faugheen progress.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Willie Mullins expects "huge improvement" from Faugheen in the williamhill.com Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.
A stunning winner at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring as a novice, the six-year-old leapt to the head of ante-post lists for next year's Champion Hurdle with a brilliant return to action in the Coral Hurdle at Ascot last month.

Re: Horse Racing
McCoy adds to Lesters haul.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Tony McCoy took his Lesters haul to 23 when he added three more accolades to his record tally as Britain's leading Flat and jump jockeys were honoured at a unique ceremony in Birmingham.
For the first time, two years of the Stobart Lesters were awarded on the same evening and the star of the show was McCoy.

Re: Horse Racing
Super Silvi grabs Kempton gold.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Paul Nicholls tightened his stranglehold on the William Hill King George VI Chase when 15-8 favourite Silviniaco Conti provided him with a record ninth success in the Boxing Day feature at Kempton Park.
Following up his success in the 2013 renewal, Noel Fehily's mount made every yard of the running to score by four and a half lengths and five from Dynaste and his own stablemate Al Ferof.

Re: Horse Racing
Choice lands Welsh thriller.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Venetia Williams grabbed a second feature handicap of the season as Emperor's Choice narrowly prevailed in a thrilling finish to the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow.
Just weeks after winning the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup with Niceonefrankie, Williams and stable jockey Aidan Coleman proved once again that with a target to aim at, there are few better big-race combinations.
