Big Buck’s wins Long Walk Hurdle
Dec 29th
Some things became clearer after racing at Newbury. At least the results made some things clearer.

Ghizao wins Andover Novices’ Chase
Dec 29th
Ghizao stamped himself as the leading two-mile novice chaser seen in Britain so far this season when he won the Bathwick Tyres Supports Heros Andover Novices’ Chase at Newbury.

Owner hopes that new twist is not a problem in Peterborough Chase
Dec 14th
Seven of the horses who were originally engaged in the totesport.com Peterborough Chase, when it was abandoned at Huntingdon on Sunday, will turn out for the rescheduled version at Newbury on Wednesday. The biggest surprise was the omission of Nicky Henderson’s Riverside Theatre but the switch from Huntingdon to Newbury provides more than a simple [...]
Peterborough Chase switched to Newbury
Dec 13th
If the weather relents this week jump racing can look forward to an early Christmas present on both sides of the Irish Sea. After the brief respite, when Cheltenham’s International meeting came through unscathed by the elements, what has become an all-to-normal disruption to service resumed when the card at Huntingdon on Sunday was lost [...]
