Vulnerable for the win, though.

(Forecast 101.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: Bobs Worth is a worthy market leader but he did have to miss his intended warm-up in the Argento. With that in mind, it could pay to side with another dual Festival winner in Sir des Champs, who seems to be crying out for this sort of test. Long Run is yet to finish worse than third in 24 races and makes plenty of each-way appeal. Timeform 1-2-3: 1: SIR DES CHAMPS 2: BOBS WORTH 3: LONG RUN © 2013 At The Races. All Rights Reserved.

With the publication of this announcement via a Regulatory Information Service, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain. 2nd June 2021 NEWBURY RACECOURSE PLC (“Newbury Racecourse” or the “Company”) AGM Statement At the Annual General Meeting to be held at Newbury Racecourse today, the Chairman, Dominic Burke, will make the following statement: As stated in the latest Annual Financial Statements, 2020 was an extremely challenging year for Newbury Racecourse with the impact of COVID-19 causing significant disruption to all parts of our business, which continues to this day. The British Horseracing Authority’s decision to suspend all horseracing in the UK with effect from 17th March 2020 was quickly followed by the first UK lockdown. While we were delighted to be able to restart racing ‘Behind Closed Doors’ on 11th June 2020, the financial impact on the Company of the loss of a number of racedays and racing crowds was severe. In response, the Company took specific actions to protect our financial position in both the short and long term, which included a restructuring of the staff overhead, targeted cost reductions, a renegotiation of the banking covenants as well as deferring repayment of the final loan instalment to Compton Beauchamp Estates Limited to April 2022. The Company also benefitted from the use of the Government furlough scheme and Business Rates relief but did not utilise any of the Government loan support schemes.

  • 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.
