It is our job to provide the most vibrant marketplace for horses at every level, and the Open Yearling Sale is a strong sale in its own right, with increasing attendance by buyers from home and abroad, and the extra time afforded by the late October date definitely benefits many of the yearlings.” A colt by Fountain Of Youth out of the winning Major RACING REVIEW Cadeaux mare Jive.

  • Bulletin Book Extracts
    Bulletin Book Extracts Continuity with the Dark Horses Annual … In my Dark Horses Guide I made out a case for Nichols Canyon, now the winner of seven of his 10 starts over hurdles. A genuine and classy performer for John Gosden on the Flat, with two Listed victories and a Group 3 placing to his name, he landed four Grade 1 races as a novice last season without getting the credit he deserved. This season he became the first horse to beat Faugheen, where the close proximity of Wicklow Brave in third suggests the favourite underperformed, before winning his sixth Grade 1 race when beating Identity Thief in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nichols Canyon ran the worst race of his career just under a month later when he trailed home 28 lengths third to Faugheen and Arctic Fire in the Irish Champion Hurdle, possibly feeling the effects of his tussle with Identity Thief in the heavy ground. Nichols Canyon’s greatest asset is his tenacity. He is not the sort of horse ever to win on the bridle, but he handles any ground and has strong winning form over two and a half miles – always an asset in the Champion Hurdle. Willie Mullins says the horse reminds him of Hurricane Fly – a great compliment - and there is a case for saying he has the best overall form in the race, even though the ratings suggest otherwise. Strong Opinions … I have no doubt that My Tent Or Yours is one of the most talented horses Nicky Henderson has ever trained.

  • November 2014 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the November 2014 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead These are the golden weekends of the National Hunt season. Morgiana Hurdle/Paddy Power Gold Cup weekend has just passed, and the schedule over the next few weeks now, leading up to the end of the year, is just about as good as it gets: 22nd/23rd November: Ascot Hurdle, Betfair Chase, Troytown Chase 29th/30th November: Hennessy Gold Cup, Hatton’s Grace Hurdle, Drinmore Chase 6th/7th December: Tingle Creek Chase, John Durkan Chase 13th/14th December: December Gold Cup, International Hurdle 20th/21st December: Long Walk Hurdle, Ladbroke Hurdle 26th-29th December: King George VI Chase, Lexus Chase, Christmas Hurdle, Paddy Power Chase, Welsh Grand National Over the next few weeks, we are probably going to see Sprinter Sacre, Simonsig, Cue Card, Silviniaco Conti, Faugheen, The New One, Djakadam, Smad Place, Bobs Worth, Lord Windermere, Vautour, and just about every other top National Hunt horse in training. The six-week period that runs from now until the end of the calendar year is probably the most exciting six-week period of the season! Looking back After a good end to the Flat season, Private Clients of Donn McClean Racing have also made a good start to the National Hunt season. Open Eagle (advised ante post at 12/1) ran out an easy winner of the November Handicap at Doncaster to ensure that the Flat season ended on a high, and the National Hunt season got off to a good start with the Open meeting at Cheltenham last weekend.

  • Cheltenham Festival Winning Profiles 2017
    Cheltenham Festival Winning Profiles 2017 (Races to be run Tuesday 14th March to Friday 17th March) www.againstthecrowd.co.uk Page 2 Key trends point to Festival winners The Cheltenham Festival represents the pinnacle of National Hunt racing. The G1 Championship races that take place at the venue every March are designed to find the best horses in specific divisions of the jump racing game. • The Champion Hurdle run on the Tuesday is designed to find the best 2-mile hurdler. • The Queen Mother Champion Chase is designed to find the best horse over the bigger obstacles at the minimum distance of 2-miles. The race is run on the Wednesday of the Festival • On Thursday Cheltenham Stages the Stayers’ Hurdle designed to find the best staying hurdler over a trip of 3-miles. • Thursday also plays host to the Ryanair Chase – a race which has become a Championship event for chasers specialising in a trip of 2 miles and 5 furlongs. • On the Friday of the Festival, we have the Gold Cup – the staying chasers’ Championship event run over 3 miles and 2 furlongs. These races are difficult to read. All the most talented horses in each division – at least those which are fit – tend to show up. All the major yards are represented. Every single runner is trying. Nothing is being saved for another day. The championship races are invariably run at a red-hot pace. This, in combination with the specific demands of the track, means that only horses at the top of their game, horses tuned to the moment and horses in receipt of luck in running, can prevail on the day.

  • Atc Chairman's
    ATC CHAIRMAN’S COMMUNICATION TO MEMBERS JULY 2016 WINX & CHAUTAUQUA RATED WORLD’S BEST AFTER THE CHAMPIONSHIPS There were many great highlights from the Sydney Autumn Carnival, but the performances of two horses further served to highlight the strength of Sydney racing. Winx was rated the world’s best miler and best horse on turf by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities after The Championships. This followed her unbeaten Autumn campaign in Sydney where Winx took out four of our best races - the Optus Business Apollo Stakes, Precise Air Chipping Norton Stakes, China Horse Club George Ryder Stakes and that amazing victory in The Star Doncaster Mile. At the time of writing Winx remained equal second on the overall World’s Best Racehorse Rankings, and second best miler behind Japan’s A Shin Hikari. We look forward to seeing Winx in Sydney again during the Spring of 2016, where her trainer Chris Waller has already mapped out three races – the Pro-Ride Warwick Stakes at Royal Randwick on 20 August, the Tattersals Chelmsford Stakes at Royal Randwick on 3 September and the Group 1 Colgate Optic White Stakes (George Main) at Royal Randwick on 17 September. Chautauqua – who won his second successive Darley TJ Smith Stakes with an incredible last to first finish – was rated the world’s best sprinter after this win, a ranking he retains at the time of writing. He went on after The Championships to beat a world-class field in the Group 1 Hong Kong Chairman’s Sprint at Sha Tin. Congratulations to Chris Waller and Hugh Bowman for their handling of Winx, and also to Team Hawkes and Tommy Berry for their great work with Chautauqua.
