Pride of Dulcote ready for Cheltenham exam
Feb 4th
The search for the next Irish-trained winner of the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup may not bear much fruit this weekend.

Nick Scholfield ready to take his chance
Feb 2nd
Patience and youth does not always sit comfortably but Nick Scholfield has waited for his moment.

Hennessy Gold Cup preview

Denman pulling his weight once more
Nov 30th
Earlier this year the great and the good of British racing launched Racing For Change, their latest vessel to carry the sport through the choppy seas of mass-public indifference to the promised land of packed grandstands.

Weight of evidence on Denman’s side
Nov 27th
A certainty or the first to be safely crossed off the list? This year’s renewal of the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury has been dominated, in more ways than one, by Denman. The topweight has to carry 11st 12lb, the same weight that he made light of to win the race two years ago. However, [...]
