Placed twice at the Cheltenham Festival, Allaho hadn't shone in two runs earlier this season but appreciated the drop back to two and a half miles in the Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase at Thurles on Wednesday. Given a positive ride by Paul Townend, the seven year old had a slight tendency to jump to his left and went quick enough early - Balko Des Flos took him on during the early stages. Overcomi...
Donald McCain has enjoyed a very productive campaign with 48 winners on the board, including Grade 2 success at Haydock on Saturday courtesy of Navajo Pass. The Cheshire based handler has built up a good team of youngsters, especially in the novice hurdle division, and has plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks and month. Indeed, Donald intends sending a strong raiding party to Musselburgh'...
Despite 93mm of rainfall in 48 hours earlier in the week, plus heavy snowfall on Saturday morning, the seven race card at Haydock Park went ahead. It was a tremendous effort by all the groundstaff at the Merseyside track. I was working for Racing TV and, despite the fact an 8.00am inspection had been passed, it was still far from certain racing would go ahead when I arrived a couple of hours earli...
Jonjo O'Neill has enjoyed another productive campaign and Theme Tune provided Jackdaws Castle with their 52nd winner of the season at Ludlow on Thursday. Following his dispersal in September, owner Trevor Hemmings left three horses in training with O'Neill and they include Ladbrokes Trophy winner Cloth Cath and this lightly raced Fame And Glory gelding. Sixth on his debut in a bumper at Warwick ov...
Gallyhill provided the Top 40 Prospects in One Jump Ahead with its 35th winner of the season, although he gave his supporters a scare in the two miles novice hurdle at Newbury, which had been won by stablemate Shishkin twelve months earlier. Purchased for a hefty £450,000 in December 2019 by Henrietta Knight on behalf of owner Mike Grech, he was making his Rules debut following an absence of...
It was a low key day as far as the action on Tuesday was concerned but One Jump Ahead produced another couple of winners. Capodanno (10/11), who is included in the French Revolution section, had finished third on his Irish debut at Clonmel in early December. Willie Mullins' gelding returned to the same track and dropped back to two miles under Mark Walsh. Sporting a tongue tie for the first time, ...
Olly Murphy nominated Champagnesuperover as his horse to follow for the season in One Jump Ahead and the lightly raced six year old came good at the third time of asking over hurdles at Ayr on Monday. Runner-up on his jumping bow at Stratford in October (track and trip too sharp), he then finished fourth at Chepstow the following month. The Jeremy gelding underwent a wind operation soon afterwards...
Tom Lacey trained his first Grade 2 winner on Saturday when Adrimel (7/2) produced a gutsy performance to win the Leamington Novices' Hurdle at Warwick. The six year old was making it three out of three over timber and was almost certainly suited by the step up to two miles five. A winner at Sandown and Haydock earlier in the season, he was fitted with cheekpieces for the first time and, having ra...
I was bitterly disappointed with the only runner in the Top 40 Prospects on Thursday. Having held every chance after the third last, he lacked a change of gear and faded tamely. He must be better than that and I wonder if he was suffering with a physical issue.
It was a much better afternoon for the Talking Trainers section in One Jump Ahead with half a dozen winners. Anthony Honeyball stole the ...
Navan maiden hurdle winner Bob Olinger made a seamless transition to Grade 1 company when readily landing the rescheduled Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle on Wednesday. Henry De Bromhead's highly regarded youngster jumped better than he had done on his previous start and made good headway turning for home. It soon became apparent his only danger was the unbeaten Willie Mullins trained runner Blue Lo...
