Seven days after a blank Saturday for jump racing in Britain, the track is preparing for its last eight-race card before the festival. This event will feature significant warm-up races for the Gold Cup and Champion Hurdle. The clerk of the course, Jon Pullin, assessed the conditions and stated that the track had experienced freezing temperatures last week, reaching as […]
Paragraph 1: Despite being the favorite for the Cheltenham Festival target, Allaho had questions to answer. He had been sidelined for 561 days due to a bleed on his spleen before his successful reappearance at Clonmel in November. Additionally, he was now ten years old and had been beaten for the first time since the 2021 Punchestown festival in the […]
The 12-year-old horse had been performing well in his recent races, finishing in second place three times in a row. In his latest race, he showed great courage and skill by beating out competitors who were carrying significantly less weight. His trainer, Kim Bailey, expressed her admiration for the horse, calling him unbelievable and saying she has never had a […]
Tizzard’s horse, JPR One, secured a half-length victory in a race that was described as a “comfortable watch” by Tizzard but caused anxiety for owner John Romans and jockey Brendan Powell. Matata, the left-jumping runner-up, caused a fall in the first fence and led to the favorite, Djelo, being taken out of the race. However, JPR One took the lead […]
L’Homme Presse’s Gold Cup credentials are being questioned. While he may have been rusty over the first few fences, he started to pick up speed and looked like he might have a strong chance at winning. However, his lack of peak sharpness became evident, and he will need to improve. Despite this, there are several reasons to consider him as […]

The runner-up, Stay Away Fay, had an impressive performance in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival. Since then, the horse has won both of its starts over fences. Mahons Glory, who finished fifth in the same race, comfortably won a Kempton handicap on Boxing Day. Twig, the sixth-placed horse who was beaten by Park This One, […]
It was the strongest evidence yet that Allaho is no spent force at the top level. This performance saw him cut to 5-2 favourite for the Ryanair Chase. Although he only beat Stattler, who was running over the wrong distance, the race still provided a tough challenge. Allaho’s previous race in the King George also contributed to his strong form […]
From Tuesday to Saturday, only Southwell had managed to escape the freezing weather in Britain. Sunday’s weather was not ideal, but at least it wasn’t freezing, allowing Lingfield to host the final day of its Winter Million. Thurles also had a significant card. This week should be smoother, as long as local tracks haven’t been damaged by 90mph gusts. The […]
Paragraph 1: One key takeaway from the week is the impressive performance of Bective Stud’s six-year-old in a race. Despite some issues with jumping, the horse showed great determination and beat a potentially talented rival. This victory has led to speculation that the winner could be a contender for the Albert Bartlett race. However, it also brings attention to a […]
