Cheltenham Festival Issue 7
Gold Cup Preview GOLD CUP PREVIEW Plenty of comparisons have already been made between Arkle and Best Mate, and they’re bound to become even more popular should the best staying chaser of the present day complete a hat-trick of Cheltenham Gold Cup victories in mid-March. Just for the record, the following paragraph from Chasers & Hurdlers 2002/3 may help to put into perspective just how good Arkle really was:- ‘In the 1965/6 season, Arkle ran four times before his third Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, starting off with a twenty-length win under 12-7 in the Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown in November, setting a time record which still stands for the course and distance. Later that month, Arkle took his second successive Hennessy under 12-7, winning by fifteen lengths from Freddie who received 32 lb. Arkle made it three wins from three starts with victory by a distance in the King George VI Chase before again winning the Leopardstown Chase on his way to Cheltenham. Arkle conceded 42 lb to the second and third at Leopardstown; runner-up Height o’ Fashion, who went down by a neck, did most of her racing in Ireland but was worth a Timeform rating of 168+ whilst third-placed Splash, beaten a further fifteen lengths, had won the previous year’s Irish Grand National and earnt a Timeform rating of 157. Arkle gave them a 43 lb and 55 lb beating respectively and was 10/1-on when making it five out of five for the season when taking Best Mate jumps the second last in splendid isolation twelve month ago 1 Cheltenham Festival Issue the Gold Cup in a canter. -
Day 3 - Thursday
NTF Weekend Notes – 2019 Cheltenham Festival Days 3 & 4 Day 3 - Thursday 1.30 JLT Novices’ Chase – Grade 1 Novices’ Chase – 2m4f – Good to Soft – 10 ran Blindly following runners from this next time out when running again in the same season isn’t quite a profitable ploy – 12/47 | 26% S/R | -£3.31 BFLSP – 2% below expectation – and those entering a handicap next time out (before end of season) are a rather poor 0/10, 1p. Concentrating on the following, however, could be the way to go...ran in JLT LTO | Non-Hcp Chase | 3/5 starts in current season...which gives...10/23 | 43% S/R | +£14.45 BFLSP – W&P 15/23 | 65% S/R – 36% above expectation. Won’t make you rich but it does seem the place to find next time out winners from the JLT. 1st – DEFI DU SEUIL For a wee man he can fairly jump his fences and he looked comfortable and in control throughout this contest. This took his record off a break of 60 days or less to 1211111111 (9/10 – compared to 1/4 off longer breaks) and he clearly relishes being on the go. I’d expect him to be a Ryanair horse rather than a Gold Cup horse next season. 2nd – LOSTINTRANSLATION Jumped for fun on the front end as always and although this was far from a poor effort it does irk me that he’s only won 2 of his 11 starts. He’ll appreciate the step up to 3 miles when it comes but I think, unfortunately, talk of him being a Gold Cup contender is wide of the mark, a future Gold Cup winner would have found his way to the winners enclosure plenty more times in 11 starts than this lad has and that, I fear, will always be his downfall. -
Cheltenham Festival News
Cheltenham Festival News Sleepy heading to the Champion Hurdle Hughie Morrison reports Not So Sleepy in grand form ahead of a potential tilt at next week’s Champion Hurdle. “Lots of rain and you never know”, he says about the 40/1 shot. Morrison also intends to send Third Wind to the Pertemps who is improving all the time since winning at Wincanton. Looking further ahead to the flat season and Telecaster is back in training and may start off at Sandown in April. Mercurial glory for Ramsay Hats off to Will Ramsay (MFW/RF 1987) who owned, trained and rode Mr Mercurial to victory at Musselburgh early last month. If conditions dry out, Ramsay tells us that the plan is to head to Cheltenham next week for the Foxhunters. If its too soft Aintree may be more on the radar. Good luck Will! Rapper heads to the Pertemps for Butler, Wiggin and Arkwright Rapper with jockey Richard Johnson and Henry Daly will be hoping a happy bunch of owners Honest Vic is on his best behaviour in the Coral Cup Humphrey Butler (JSBP ’75) has been in touch to tell us that he and his fellow owners intend to run Rapper in next week’s Pertemps Final. Here he is pictured on the left with Charlie Arkwright (ORSB ’78) in the Honest chance for Vic and middle and Mark Wiggin (JF ’80) on the right at Ludlow last year. Having won once as a Pilkingtons in Coral Cup novice, he’s since won a decent 3m handicap at Market Rasen and then Richard Pilkington (JF 1982) and his father Sir Thomas Pilkington (AKW 1951) are finished second at Cheltenham on New looking forward to seeing the Henry Daly-trained Honest Vic potentially take his Years Day behind the well-touted chance in the Coral Cup next Wednesday. -
Thursday's Timeform
There are two left-handed courses at Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old No. 427 2006 Price £6 Course is oval in shape and about one and a half miles in extent. There are nine fences to a circuit, only one of which is jumped in the final straight. The New Course leaves the old track at Stewards S. J. A. Webb, Esq., R. J. Shepherd, Esq., M. P. Wiggin, Esq., S. E. Allday, Esq., the furthest point from the stands and runs parallel to it before rejoining at the entrance to the J. B. O. Carleton Paget, Esq., T. D. Holland-Martin, Esq., A. J. D. Dennis, Esq., Sir John Cotterell, finishing straight. This circuit is a little longer than the Old Course and has ten fences, two of R. R. Evans, Esq., Mrs P. J. Evetts which are jumped in the final straight. The most telling feature of the Old and the New Courses is their testing nature. The fences are stiff and the last half mile is uphill, with a run-in of just over a furlong. The four-mile and two-and-a-half-mile starts are on an extension, with five fences, which bisects both courses almost at right angles. The two-mile start is also on this extension, and two fences are jumped before reaching the main circuit. There is also a cross- country course at Cheltenham, laid out in the centre of the conventional tracks.
