Binocular wins Contenders Hurdle
Feb 5th
Nicky Henderson started the day with two contenders for the Stan James Champion Hurdle. He finished the day the same way and possibly only a little bit the wiser. To ready the full story: http://horse-racing.bettor.com/binocular-still-has-champion-hurdle-in-his-sights/news/1338650
Medermit wins Challengers Novices’ Chase
Feb 5th
The ultimate destination may be a few weeks away but Alan King reached another milestone on what has been a long, and sometimes frustrating, journey at Sandown Park. Last season’s total of 78 winners – which was barely half the number of the previous campaign – is already in sight but King’s yard is about [...]
Heroes Handicap Hurdle preview
Feb 5th
Some of the main events may be short of betting potential but there is always something to fall back on for a Saturday. The totescoop6 Heroes Handicap Hurdle at Sandown Park has 20 runners but a number of them look relatively exposed at this stage of their careers. That cannot be said of Kilcrea Kim. [...]
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. The Grade One Hennessy Gold Cup, run at Leopardstown on Sunday, has seven home runners none of whom make more than a feint blip on the radar of the market for Cheltenham yet the one [...]
Tony McCoy focussed on Binocular
Feb 4th
A year ago Tony McCoy walked away from the winner’s enclosure at Sandown Park with a perplexed look on his face. The champion jockey had just won yet another race, which is usually enough to satisfy a man who is addicted to the drug of finishing first. However that transient high was lost amid the [...]
Henderson hurdlers ready to advertise claims
Feb 3rd
Wanted: top-flight hurdler. Must be resident in mainland Britain. Senior position available for right applicant. A little fanciful perhaps however, runners for this weekend’s two Champion Hurdle trials are looking thin on the ground. Donald McCain had both Peddlers Cross and Overturn entered for the William Hill Welsh Champion Hurdle, although Peddlers Cross was more [...]
Bold Silvano wins Al Maktoum Challenge
Feb 3rd
Mike de Kock had to wait for his 100th UAE winner after drawing a rare blank at last week’s meeting of the Dubai International Racing Carnival. But he was back in the winner’s enclosure more than enough times to make up for that on the fourth night at Meydan. The South African trainer ticked another [...]

No decision yet on Cue Card
Feb 3rd
Colin Tizzard may not be ready to decide which option he will take with Cue Card at this year’s Cheltenham Festival but neither looks particularly easy. Cue Card has already proved himself sufficiently in three runs over hurdles this season for Tizzard to make an entry for the Stan James Champion Hurdle and the five-year-old [...]
