I am delighted to announce that the February Update will include an interview with Warren Greatrex. The Cheltenham Festival winning handler, who operates from the famous Rhonehurst Stables in Upper Lambourn, has enjoyed an excellent season with 33 winners from 137 runners (24%) - his best campaign since 2018/19. The stable's inmates including progressive two mile chaser Mighty Bandit, Cheltenham w...
The frustrating run of seconds for the Top 40 in One Jump Ahead continued at Naas on Sunday. Thankfully, the other featured horses at the meeting came to the fore including Love Sign D'Aunou who propelled himself to the forefront of the antepost market for the Cheltenham Festival bumper. Featured in the Irish Pointers section, the five year old won the same point-to-point at Loughanmore over Easte...
Trials day at Cheltenham on Saturday was marred by the injury sustained by Sir Gino when pulling up after the third last in the Grade 2 International Hurdle. Unbeaten beforehand, the triple Grade 1 winner is suspected to have suffered a pelvic injury. Regarded as one of the most talented horses to have emerged from Seven Barrows, the six year old sustained an infection in February last year which ...
The French Revolution - Part II feature in the November Update has highlighted some hugely promising youngsters in recent weeks. They include FIRE WARNING, MAESTRO CONTI and QUIRYN, who scored on their British and Irish debuts respectively. The latest winner was FEEL GUT was readily saw off half a dozen rivals by upwards of six and a half lengths in the junior National Hunt novices' hurdle at Warw...
Prior to racing on Thursday, Gavin Cromwell hadn't trained a winner in Ireland this (0 from 44). However, that all changed at Gowran Park with the Cheltenham Gold Cup winning handler sending out a treble, including Now Is The Hour in the feature event the Thyestes Chase. A Grade 2 winning novice hurdler, the nine year old was getting off the mark at the tenth attempt over fences and is a second se...
The entries for some of the novice races at the Cheltenham Festival were published on Tuesday afternoon. They included the Turners Novices' Hurdle on day two and amongst those were Top 40 entry Starzand. Unfortunately, the Philip Hobbs and Johnson White trained fluffed his lines and may have ruled himself out of the Festival following his lacklustre effort at Leicester during the same afternoon. T...
Former champion trainer Nicky Henderson stole the headlines on Saturday with a big race across the card double. Jonbon claimed his eleventh Grade 1 victory when winning the Clarence House Chase at Ascot for a second successive year. The ten year old was forced to dig deep though only collaring the admirable Thistle Ask on the run-in. The Cheltenham Festival is likely to be next with a decision to ...
J.P.McManus had 6 winners from 46 runners over the Festive period (26th - 29th December) with Narciso Has his only Graded success in the juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day. During the last two days at Fairyhouse, his famous green and gold has been carried to victory by two highly promising youngsters who look every inch Graded class in the future. Twenty four hours after Proactif'...
There were a number of smart youngsters on show on Wednesday, including Top 40 entry Proactif (15/8) who made a winning Irish debut at Fairyhouse. Contesting the opening juvenile hurdle, the J.P.McManus owned runner had won on his hurdles bow at Auteuil in September when handled by Daniela Mele before being snapped up by Willie Mullins. Returning from a break of 123 days, the Masked Marvel gelding...
The cold spell put paid to the meetings at Fairyhouse and Warwick and, not for the first time, Ireland led the way in terms of rearranging meetings when announcing that the former's fixture will now be staged on Wednesday next week. It remains to be seen whether the Grade 2 Hampton Novices' Chase and Classic Chase at the former track will be saved and hosted elsewhere - don't hold your breath.
