Jan 7th
The new-found mood of flexibility within British racing, that has seen several of the major races that had been lost to the weather rescheduled, has not satisfied everyone.

Away win for C’Monthehammers at Exeter
Dec 5th
By mid-morning there were a few people ready to pour cold water on the idea of racing taking place at Exeter. A sudden drop in temperature at around 5am left parts of the course frozen and the four fences down the back straight were ruled out because the landing side of each obstacle was untraceable. [...]

So far Imperial Commander has proven that he can win beyond three miles, when he won last season’s Cheltenham Gold Cup, and then that he could do so away from the confines of Cheltenham, when he won the [...]

Imperial Commander wins Betfair Chase
Nov 23rd
A winning margin of one-and-a-quarter lengths over a horse who has not won a steeplechase in over two years is hardly an earth-shattering performance.
