Ahoy Senor, a two-time Grade 1 winner, has historically performed best in the second half of the season. In the recent Cotswold Chase, he displayed a return to form following subpar showings in the Coral Gold Cup and Charlie Hall Chase earlier in the term. The upcoming 2m5f trip at Ascot will mark Ahoy Senor’s shortest distance attempt since his […]
The most successful trainer in Cheltenham Festival history, with 94 winners, expressed his amazement at his own achievements. He is heavily favored to reach the century mark next month, which comes as almost no surprise given the quality of the horses he has at his disposal. Ante-post favorite runners for half of the 28 races at the festival are under […]
In 2017 and 2018, he topped the charts at back-to-back Cheltenham Festivals. Since Nicky Henderson’s seven-winner haul in 2012, he has been the only trainer able to stop Mullins from hitting number one. Last year, Elliott came away with three winners – Jazzy Matty, Delta Work, and Sire Du Berlais – but left disappointed. It wasn’t that his horses ran […]
In the past, I used to tip horses every day, but that was in a different era when Teletext was the latest technology. I will refrain from sharing my predictions for the Cheltenham Festival or analyzing the action from last weekend’s Dublin Racing Festival. However, I do have a strong opinion about one race at Cheltenham: the Close Brothers Mares’ […]
At 2.30pm on Saturday, the Irish Arkle at Leopardstown was won by Il Etait Temps, with the Cheltenham Festival ante-post favorite finishing fifth of the six runners, beaten by ten and a half lengths. The winner had previously landed the 2m Grade 1 novice hurdle on the same card 12 months earlier, demonstrating a strong performance at this meeting.
Aqui observamos como a influência de seu estábulo Closutton cresceu. No início, o Leopardstown criou o Festival de Corridas de Dublin ao realocar diversas corridas já existentes, como o Irish Gold Cup, Irish Arkle e Irish Champion Hurdle, e adicionando uma ou duas, para formar um gigante de duas dias e 15 corridas de alta qualidade, composto por sete Grade […]
La Marine Nationale est largement favorite pour l’Arkle au Festival de Cheltenham, tandis que Gaelic Warrior est coté à aussi peu que 8-11 avec certaines entreprises pour le Turners Novices’ Chase, et il était supposé qu’ils courraient sur des distances différentes cette saison. Cependant, Mullins est désireux de défier la superstar invaincue de Barry Connell et a déclaré mardi que […]
Il settenne ha portato la sua forma a nuove altezze sui recinti con due vittorie su tre partenze, incluso il rinnovato Towton Novices’ Chase a Wetherby questo mese. È quotato 9-2 con Coral per dare al trainer vincitore del Cheltenham Festival, Snowden, e alla famiglia Glyn Davies la loro prima vittoria al livello più alto. Il Colonel Harry è di […]
“Why is your entire year built around the outcome of a few races run on a particular strip of land on the edge of the Cotswolds every March?” he was asked. His response: “It’s as close as fat, old, middle-aged men get to playing in the Premier League.” The mere mention of ten letters together has become a cause for […]
Gerri Colombe, a winner of three Grade 1 races last season and another at Down Royal in November, is considering competing in other major spring festivals to add to his successes. Having only been beaten twice, he is now a 10-1 shot and will likely skip Leopardstown and head straight to Cheltenham, with Aintree and Punchestown as potential future options. […]
