The six-year-old trained by Willie Mullins and owned by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede has had an impressive record, winning the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham last year and adding a Punchestown Grade 1 to his achievements. This season, the decision was made to continue racing over hurdles, but he suffered a defeat in the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle and was […]

Fox had been absent since injuring his shoulder when his mount, Clovis Boy, slipped up at Ayr on January 2. Fox missed a host of high-profile rides including Ahoy Senor at Cheltenham on Trials day. But the dual Grand National-winning jockey added another marathon contest to his collection when helping Inis Oirr justify 9-2 favouritism. Fox jumped off in front […]
We never doubted his class. He just needed to add consistency. The fact that this decisive victory over old foe Fastorslow arrived just 37 days after his stupendous Savills Chase display means that we can now add the word “reliable” to his remarkable repertoire. Don’t get me wrong, this wasn’t as flamboyant as his overgenerous Christmas gift. There was a […]
Trained by Charlie Johnston, the four-year-old recently returned to the track after a 129-day break, winning at Newcastle on New Year’s Day. He crossed the finish line a length and three-quarters ahead of the favorite, Nine Tenths. This marked a second Listed win for Dear My Friend, and Prince, the director of operations for Middleham Park, is optimistic about the […]
The Dublin Racing Festival Day 2 took place at Leopardstown. In a race of contrasting fortunes, O’Keeffe managed to wind up the 11-year-old to come with a sustained effort from before the last to score by three and a half lengths from the mares Magical Zoe and Zenta. Despite his odds of 40-1, not many would have begrudged this consistent […]

Her strong traveling ability suggests she could excel at Prestbury Park, and there is potential for even more success in the future. While she may not be suited for the Triumph […]
Willie’s nephew has proven himself time and time again as the ultimate super sub, gobbling up whatever scraps Paul Townend leaves behind. She is also owned by Kenny Alexander. The similarities are striking. Gala Marceau chased home Lossiemouth in the Triumph Hurdle, and Kargese is now Sir Gino’s biggest rival in the market, being cut to 6-1 (from 12) by […]
