Hennessy Gold Cup Facts & Figures Background information First run at Cheltenham in 1957, the Hennessy Gold Cup was transferred to Newbury three years later and has established itself as one of the most prestigious races in Jump racing. The three and a quarter mile handicap chase boasts a rich history with greats such as Arkle, Mill House, One Man and more recently Denman all having taken the spoils during their illustrious careers. Hennessy has been associated with the race since its inception, making the Hennessy Gold Cup the longest running commercial sponsorship in British racing. The race’s value for this year’s 59th running has risen to £200,000, an increase of £25,000 over 2014. Prize money for the three-day bet365 meeting, featuring the Hennessy Gold Cup, has increased by a total of £85,000 (15 per cent) this year to £663,100. Multiple winners There have been three dual winners of the Hennessy Gold Cup – Mandarin (1957 & 1961), Arkle (1964 & 1965) and Denman (2007 & 2009). Arkle narrowly failed in his bid for a famous hat-trick when going down by a half-length to 25/1 shot Stalbridge Colonist, to whom he was conceding 35lb, in 1966. Denman attempted the hat-trick in 2010, coming home third under top-weight. It is likely that Bobs Worth, successful in 2012, will attempt a second victory this year. Most successful owner Peggy Hennessy (Mandarin 1957 & 1961), Anne Duchess of Westminster (Arkle 1964 & 1965), Trevor Hemmings (Trabolgan 2005 & Many Clouds 2014) and Paul Barber/Maggie Findlay (Denman 2007 & 2009) are the most successful owners with two wins apiece. Most successful trainer The late Fulke Walwyn made the Hennessy his own, with seven victories between 1957 and 1981. They came courtesy of Mandarin (1957 & 1961), Taxidermist (1958), Mill House (1963), Man of the West (1968), Charlie Potheen (1972) and Diamond Edge (1981). Among the current trainers, Nicky Henderson (2005 Trabolgan, 2012 Bobs Worth & 2013 Triolo D’Alene) and Paul Nicholls (2003 Strong Flow, 2007 & 2009 Denman) are the most successful with three wins apiece. Three female trainers have won the Hennessy Gold Cup – Jenny Pitman with Burrough Hill Lad in 1984, Venetia Williams with Teeton Mill in 1998 and Lavinia Taylor with Gingembre in 2002. Most successful jockey Willie Robinson has been the winning-most jockey, with three wins aboard Mandarin (1961), Mill House (1963) and Man of the West (1968). The three most successful current riders are Timmy Murphy, Barry Geraghty and Ruby Walsh with two victories each. John Lawrence (Lord Oaksey) has been the only amateur rider to win the Hennessy, having teamed up with Taxidermist to score by a short-head in 1958. He bred and part-owned Caruthers (half-brother to 2015 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Coneygree) who was victorious in 2011. Overseas-trained winners Ireland (3): Arkle (1964 & 1965), Bright Highway (1980) Ridden & trained a Hennessy winner Rode Trained Derek Ancil Knucklecracker (1960) Knucklecracker (1960) Andy Turnell April Seventh (1975) Cogent (1993) Paul Nicholls Broadheath (1986), Playschool (1987) Strong Flow (2003), Denman (2007 & 2009) Age The breakdown of winners by age is as follows: 6yo – 11 7yo – 24 8yo – 10 9yo – 10 10yo – 2 11yo – 1 Greys Five greys have won the Hennessy – Stalbridge Colonist (1966), One Man (1994), Suny Bay (1997), Teeton Mill (1998) and What’s Up Boys (2001). Field size The biggest field came in 1962 when 27 runners faced the starter, while the smallest saw Stalbridge Colonist beat five rivals in 1966. The current safety limit is 24. Betting The longest priced winner of the Hennessy was Sibton Abbey, a 40/1 outsider in 1992, while the shortest- priced was Arkle who justified odds of 1/6 in 1965. In the 58 runnings of the Hennessy, 16 favourites have obliged at a strike rate of 27.5 per cent. Weights A total of 30 winners have carried 11st or more to victory in the Hennessy Gold Cup, with the top-weight being defied eight times. Those to carry top-weight are as follows: Mill House (1963), Arkle (1964 & 1965), Diamond Edge (1981), Burrough Hill Lad (1984), Trabolgan (2005) and Denman (2007 & 2009). Ten winners have carried bottom weight of 10st, most recently Diamond Harry in 2010. Winning margins 15 lengths is the longest winning margin - Knucklecracker 1960, Arkle 1965, Spanish Steps 1969 & Teeton Mill 1998 A short-head is the narrowest winning margin witnessed, when Red Candle got the better of Red Rum in 1973. Did you know? The Willie Mullins-trained Be My Royal was first past the post in 2002 but was subsequently disqualified after testing positive for a banned substance. Bob Champion put up 4lb overweight when successful by five lengths on Approaching, who carried 10st 6lb in 1978, while Hywel Davies was 2lb over at 10st 2lb when Ghofar won by a neck in 1989. Four horses have captured the Hennessy Gold Cup and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in the same season - Arkle, Bregawn, Denman and Bobs Worth – while Many Clouds is the only horse to have won both the Hennessy Gold Cup and Grand National at Aintree. It is 50 years since the second Hennessy victory of Arkle, the greatest chaser ever seen.

  • Kauto Star, a Steeplechasing Legend1 Dr Katherine Dashper and Dr
    ‘Like a hawk among house sparrows’: Kauto Star, a steeplechasing legend1 Dr Katherine Dashper and Dr Thomas Fletcher, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK The concept of ‘icon’ has been applied to numerous athletes as a result of their sporting achievements, likeable public personas, and stories of triumph, resilience and courage. The cultural role of the horse as icon, hero, celebrity and national luminary, however, is lacking within the literature. In this article we extend this human concept to apply to the racehorse Kauto Star, who was heralded by many as the saviour of British racing in the early twenty‐first century. We argue that the narrative surrounding Kauto Star had all the essential ingredients for the construction of a heroic storyline around this equine superstar: his sporting talent; his flaws and ability to overcome adversity; his ‘rivalry’ with his stable mate; his ‘connections’ to high profile humans in the racing world; and, the adoration he received from the racing public. Media representations are key elements in the construction of sporting narratives, and the production of heroes and villains within sport. In this paper we construct a narrative of Kauto Star, as produced through media reports and published biographies, to explore how this equine star has been elevated beyond the status of ‘animal’, ‘racehorse’ or even ‘athlete’ to the exalted position of sporting icon. Key words: Animals, celebrity, equine sport, hero, icon, media representation, racing Introduction Sports lend themselves to the production and presentation of cultural icons. The status of a sporting icon is usually conferred on men and women for their performances on a field of play.2 However, is iconicity defined by performances alone? Over the last three/four decades there has been a proliferation of writings about the achievements of certain sports men and women.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • EB42 a Short History of Findon and the Racehorse
    A short history of Findon and the racehorse 1 At the start of the 19C race meetings were held on the downland gallops below Blackpatch Hill at the western edge of Findon parish, the course being known as Michel Grove (an estate mainly in the neighbouring Clapham and Patching parishes). Later in the century race meetings were held on the gallops below West Hill at the south west end of Findon parish. In the 19C horse racing featured much more in ordinary rural life than it does today, as the horse was still vital to agricultural activities and local transport. Knowledge of race horses in training was wide and racing was keenly followed as a sport and an opportunity for social gatherings, Race meetings were also being held on the downs at Lewes at this time and on the downs at Goodwood and Brighton in Sussex which still hold meetings today, like Epsom, Ascot, Sandown and Lingfield in Surrey. Fontwell and Plumpton in Sussex still hold regular national hunt race meetings over hurdles and fences while the race meetings at Newbury in Berkshire and Cheltenham attract the highest quality national hunt horses. Around 1853-1854 Henry Padwick, a well known member of the Danebury ‘Confederacy’, a very successful group of individuals that sent out many ‘Classic’ winners from the racing stables at Danebury, near Stockbridge racecourse in Hampshire, built new brick and flint stables and a trainer’s house, at the top of Stable Lane, Findon on the site of a cottage and outbuildings which appear on the 1839 Tithe Map.
