The second day of the Paddy Power meeting at Cheltenham was decimated with 29 non runners due to the frost overnight, which ensured the track couldn't be watered, and the prevailing dry weather. However, it didn't prevent Meetmebythesea adding the feature event, the Paddy Power Gold Cup, to his growing CV. Successful in the Jack Richards Novices' Handicap Chase at the Festival in March, Ben Paulin...
Despite the Microsoft outage during Thursday evening and Friday morning, all orders for the November Update have been emailed to clients. My emails were working intermittently during Friday but appear OK at the time of writing - Friday afternoon. It is still possible to order a copy of the November Update - please head to the Publications section of the site.
Unfortunately, there were no shortage...
The 24 page November Update, which includes a full index of over 115 horses, has been emailed to clients (4.24pm). If you haven't received it, please let me know as soon as possible.
In addition to full analysis of the action at Cheltenham's Paddy Power meeting on Saturday and Sunday, there is a 24 horse stable interview with the in-form Tom Lacey. Bloodstock agent Jerry McGrath, who was re...
Very sad news broke on Wednesday that former jump jockey Tom O'Brien had passed away at the age of 39. One of the most likeable members of the weighing room, the Irishman formed a formidable partnership with Philip Hobbs riding Thyme Hill to Grade 1 success. Thoughts are very much with his wife Hayley and their two young sons.
Just a reminder that the November Update will be emailed to clie...
There are few trainers in better form than Tom Lacey at present - the Herefordshire based handler's last six runners have produced form figures of 111215. Sea Tempest was an impressive winner on his hurdles debut at Uttoxeter on Saturday and is a smashing young prospect for novice events this season. I am therefore delighted to say that the November Update, which will be emailed to clients on Thur...
The Top 45 Prospects in One Jump Ahead has made a fine start to the season and the trend continued on Saturday with Taurus Bay (13/2) winning the rescheduled Grade 2 Rising Stars Novices' Chase at Aintree and Chicks For Free (10/11) landed some hefty bets on her Rules debut in the mares' bumper at Uttoxeter looking a very smart prospect in the process. I am looking forward to catching up with Gavi...
You can't keep a good man down and Paul Nicholls continued his terrific run of form at Aintree on Friday. Stable stalwart Rubaud gained his seventh Grade 2 victory when providing his trainer with a record breaking ninth win in the rescheduled Haldon Gold Cup. The eight year old ran creditably in the Listed Panoramic Hurdle at Carlisle last month and was gaining only his second success over fences ...
The good action over jumps continued at Newbury on Thursday with three more winners for the Talking Trainers section in OJA (plus one at Plumpton). They included Presley (85/40), Wordfromhome (5/4) and Radiant Walk (16/1) - the last two named won the two divisions of the bumper at the Berkshire track.
Presley looks another nice long-term prospect for champion Dan Skelton. The five year old showed...
There was some excellent racing on Wednesday with a host of promising youngsters being unleashed. There were two winners from as many runners in the Top 45 with ex-pointers New Rules and Palinca scoring impressively at Chepstow and Wexford respectively. It is great to see Paul Nicholls with another potentially high-class horse and the 14 times champion trainer will have been delighted with New Rul...
Pic D'Orhy didn't have much trouble going one better in the Grade 2 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on Saturday having finished runner-up twelve months ago. In doing so, the former Paul Nicholls' trained inmate became the first eleven year old to win the three miles event since Durham Edition prevailed in 1989. Transferred to Dan Skelton last spring, the triple Grade 1 winner made a mistake at the ...
