  • Cheltenham SUPPLEMENT
    Cheltenham SUPPLEMENT Day One Tuesday 15 March Going: The ground for the first day is expected to ride generally good to soft, with good patches. The forecast for the next few days is for dry conditions, with cloud cover, and temperatures of around 10 degrees, so there is the prospect of watering towards the end of the week. 1.30: Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) Min has been weak in the market over the last 36 hours or so, with 9/4 readily available and bookmakers expected to offer a variety of price boosts or concessions on this and later races. One of the better offers is from Paddy Power who, I believe, are offering to refund the stake on any race at Cheltenham if the favourite wins. My advice is to shop around for the best offer before placing your bet assuming, of course, that the various options are available to you. I am encouraged to see that Buveur D’Air, my ** bet from the Bulletin Book, has proved fairly solid in the market in the last couple of days. The five-year-old had been weak last week and over the weekend, but he is now 7.8 on Betfair and a top price of 13/2 with the bookmakers. Nicky Henderson will be hoping that the ground retains some moisture for him as he prefers cut underfoot. I loved the way he travelled and quickened to win at Newbury in November and he finished almost three lengths ahead of Altior when they ran behind Barters Hill in a Listed bumper at Newbury last season.

  • Sizing John a Golden First for Harrington Cont
    SATURDAY, 18 MARCH, 2017 SIZING JOHN A GOLDEN RECORD EIGHT-FIGURE HORSE TOPS HK INTERNATIONAL SALE by Alan Carasso FIRST FOR HARRINGTON The annual Hong Kong International Sale is truly one of a kind, as it brings together 3-year-olds bred and sold in both hemispheres to be offered exclusively to members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. On paper, the 2017 renewal of the auction, held under the lights in the parade ring at Sha Tin Racecourse Friday evening, would have plenty to do to compare with the previous get-together, which produced an HK$8.5-million topper and a true contender for this Sunday=s Hong Kong Derby in the form of Pakistan Star (Ger) (Shamardal). Only time will tell if the racetrack results match the sales sheets, but records tumbled Friday evening when a striking son of the late Hussonet eclipsed the eight-figure barrier when selling for HK$10.5 million (,1,095,462/US$1,352,222). The average of HK$4.51 million was 7.8% ahead of last year=s figure, while the median price jumped by 20%. Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Sizing John gets a congratulatory kiss AWe are very pleased with tonight=s results which clearly from jockey Robbie Power | Racing Post photo exhibited the enthusiasm of our owners and their recognition of the quality bloodstock sourced by the Club from the world=s top By Emma Berry sales,@ commented Anthony Kelly, Executive Director of Racing There was much pre-race publicity about Lizzie Kelly becoming Business and Operations for the HKJC.

Tuesday 16th 1.20 Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) 4yo+ 2m½f SLH: Metier, Soaring Eagle and at big odds Grumpy Charlie are the pick of the British trained horses. Metier was a decent performer on the flat in Ireland and has progressed from race to race over hurdles since moving to Harry Fry. He is a strong stayer who performs well on soft ground. It is taken as fact that the course will be prepared to ride no firmer than Good to Soft on the opening day. Soaring Glory showed marked improvement when impressively winning the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. He appears to be less dependent on ground conditions than Metier and looks sure to figure. On soft ground Grumpy Charlie could run better than his odds suggest if allowed to take his chance. Despite not being totally straightforward, he is improving with racing experience. DMC: At the start of the season, it looked like Appreciate It was going to be Willie Mullins’ Ballymore Hurdle horse, and that Ferny Hollow was going to be his Supreme Novices’ Hurdle horse.

  • Cheltenham Festival Guide 2021 Daniel Watkins
    Cheltenham Festival Guide 2021 Daniel Watkins www.lapoftheodds.com Cheltenham Festival Guide 2021 Introduction The annual quest for winners sees me routinely holed up in a back bedroom, hunched over a keyboard and monitor for interminable weeks on end, hardly seeing a soul and rarely out of my pyjamas. What was a nerdy niche is now pretty much the working mainstream. Welcome to my world, one and all… With such trying external circumstances, and so little to look forward to in the short term, it seems that the pull of the Cheltenham Festival has grown exponentially greater again this year. This humble guide started for a few friends in 2004 and is now in edition number 18. If you are looking for views and predictions, they are now myriad over social media. There are some very insightful nuggets amongst the deafening cacophony of “this can’t be beaten” over-confidence. It is great to see such interest stimulated, and whilst hearing many views has the dangers of being dragged towards consensus (and there’s rarely profit there), it also helps temper the unfounded runaway confidence that can come from being in too much of a bubble. Thanks as always to the long-suffering Tanya, whose annual support for my selfish Springtime obsession is only partly offset by the knowledge that she is my obsession throughout the year. No-one should have had to witness the petulant tantrums when the Novice handicap chase was dropped for the mares chase, and I can only plead forgiveness!! Please stay in touch by subscribing, following or liking my blog, Lap of The Odds (www.lapoftheodds.com), and watch for daily articles during festival week, where non-runners and weather may result in some changes to selections.

  • ANGLO-IRISH JUMP CLASSIFICATIONS 2018-2019 This Is the Twentieth Full Anglo-Irish Jump Classification
    SUPPLEMENT TO THE RACING CALENDAR MAY23rd 2019 1 ANGLO-IRISH JUMP CLASSIFICATIONS 2018-2019 This is the twentieth full Anglo-Irish Jump Classification. It classifiesthe beststeeplechasers and hurdlers that were trained in either Britain or Ireland during the 2018-2019 season, or in France if that performance was achieved in Britain or Ireland. It is not ahandicap but aretrospective measurement of best sustainable performances during the recent season so there may be differences from current handicap marks.
