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 [...]
Neptune Collonges wins Argento Chase
Jan 29th
He might be a few shades lighter than when he finished third in a Cheltenham Gold Cup, but Neptune Collonges proved that he is not a light of former days. The Grade Two Argento Chase at Cheltenham was meant to be the race that ushered Punchestowns into the reckoning for this year’s Gold Cup, with [...]
Master Minded wins Victor Chandler Chase
Jan 22nd
It may have lacked the swaggering style of some of his other six Grade One victories but Master Minded found the substance when he needed it most.

Binocular wins Christmas Hurdle
Jan 16th
It may have been the stepping stone to the real objective but it was one taken with real élan.

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. After a month when jump racing has been in the grip of freezing temperatures, it was the turn of fog to cause the disruption this time but there was no disguising the authority of Big Buck’s in the Grade [...]
Tony McCoy offered ride on Kauto Star in King George VI Chase
Dec 22nd
As a man who was born on December 24th, Noel Fehily is used to all things coming at once late in the year. But this year what could have been the greatest moment of his career has now been clouded by the darkest of days. The rider to whom champion trainer Paul Nicholls turned to [...]
Tony McCoy focussed on Binocular for Christmas Hurdle
Dec 18th
Tony McCoy may be the centre of attention before the nation votes for the BBC’s Sports Personality of the year Award but, as ever, the man himself is thinking about the next race. The champion jockey has gone on record as saying that he does not have many of the “Saturday horses” as he refers [...]
