Welcome to the March 2014 edition of the monthly newsletter from Donn McClean Racing. Looking ahead March is for Cheltenham, when the wider world gathers around to peer into racing’s little cocoon for four days. For those already in the cocoon, it is spellbinding. If the National Hunt Chase or the Grand Annual Chase were to be run on any ordinary Saturday during the year, it would be the feature race of the day, of the week. However, because they are run during the Cheltenham Festival, they are mere bit-part players, competing for attention, as they do, with the Champion Hurdle and the Gold Cup. Think Hurricane Fly and Our Conor and The New One and Jezki. Think Bobs Worth and Silviniaco Conti and Last Instalment. Think all of the best National Hunt horses in the world assembled together beneath Cleeve Hill and competing against each other in a series of races that will determine the champion in each discipline. The Olympics of National Hunt racing. That’s the Cheltenham Festival, and it starts tomorrow. Ante post portfolio Private Clients of Donn McClean Racing have been steadily building up an ante post portfolio for the Cheltenham Festival since last December. The portfolio regrettably includes a sprinkling of non- runners – such is the nature of these things – but clients have also backed several horses who are a lot shorter in the market now than they were when they backed them. An interesting – and hopefully an enjoyable and profitable – week lies in store. Looking back Private Clients made a small profit in February, with Harry Topper (advised at 7/2), Guitar Pete (advised at 6/1) and O’Faolains Boy (advised at 7/1) all winning, and Cheltenian (advised each-way at 10/1), Lough Ba (advised each-way at 14/1), Nuts N Bolts (advised each-way at 16/1) and Ballypatrick (advised each- way at 20/1) all finishing placed.
