    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.

    Media representations of cultural and sports festivals, the marketing of place image and local economic development: The case of Cheltenham, England Andrew Bradley OXSTALLS LEARNING CENTRE UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE Oxstalls Lane Gloucester GL2 9HW Tel: 01242 715100 A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Environment and Leisure Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to thank my two supervisors: Dr. Tim Hall and Professor Mick Healey for their encouragement and constructive criticism at all stages in the formation of this thesis. Their advice has been invaluable in the development of this study and the manner in which it was conducted. This research would also have been impossible without the ·access that was afforded fo many of Cheltenham' s most prominent business people. The generous donation of their time and the interest that they showed in this research was truly appreciated. I would also like to thank Elizabeth Precious whose constant belief in me has kept me going and John Hill for his ability to make me laugh even under the darkest of circumstances. It would also be inappropriate to forget the residents of the now disbanded Graduate School at the University of Gloucestershire for their myriad of pleasant distractions such as endless transfer speculation, fantasy football and staff football on Wednesday nights. Thanks, therefore, are offered to (in alphabetical order): Joy Bringer, Kath Browne, Stuart Nelmes, Barney Pell, George Vigileos and Nick Wright. Abstract During the 1980s and 1990s energetic image enhancement and promotional campaigns have been an almost ubiquitous characteristic of different localities throughout the world, with the enhancement and promotion of place image now being seen as a vital part of economic development strategies.

  • Nigel Twiston-Davies, and It Is No Secret He Starts Quickly
    Editor's Welcome The problem with the magazine publishing business is that you are always looking ahead and thinking about the following months. So right now I see sunshine out of my window but I'm thinking about National Hunt racing and the coming autumn and winter. On the bright side there is a lot of money to be won with early season jumps trainers and that is why we have a lot of research into this phenomenon this month. And this month that includes research from somebody who knows that September and October are highly profitable and that is Ben Aitken of Narrowing The Field. Ben is with us for the next three months which for him is the highlight of the year and where he makes most of his profit. Do check out his website for profitable tips http://narrowing-the- field.co.uk Nick also has updated his research into early season jumps trainers to uncover some profitable angles as has Wendy. The fact is that when three experts independently focus on the same type of strategy you know there must be profit to be found there. Elsewhere we have an interview with the only tipster with a Masters Degree in International Politics, which is obviously crucial to a successful punting career! I'm talking about John Burke who is the brains behind the Victor Value service. And if you are into the Irish racing scene, and you should be, we have a more detailed look at the Declan O'Donoghue tipping service. I hope you enjoy this month’s issue.

  • Cheltenham Festival Issue 7
    Gold Cup GOLD CUP Over the last few weeks, the plot for this year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup has taken a couple of unexpected twists worthy of an Agatha Christie novel. First of all, the young Irish pretender Kicking King was killed off well before the end of the book, only to stage a remarkable Lazarus-style recovery. Then, just as we were all coming to terms with that, there was an even bigger shock in store when star player Best Mate disappeared before the final chapter, leaving Poirot, Miss Marple and form students scratching their heads and wondering if there could possibly be another unexpected development. Best Mate’s withdrawal from the race after breaking a blood vessel on the gallops on Thursday morning has certainly taken the shine off this year’s Gold Cup. His presence would have raised the profile of the contest beyond the racing pages, and victory would have been front-page news. From a punting point of view, there are a couple of ways of looking at Best Mate’s absence from the Gold Cup line-up. Some would argue that, with the long-term ante-post favourite missing the race, the event is suddenly thrown wide open, bringing six or seven contenders, all with similar chances, into the picture. The alternative view is that, even before Best Mate’s removal from ante-post lists, some of those other contenders already had a better chance than the reigning champion, who was underpriced and effectively making the market. The fact is that in three outings in 2004, including when winning a substandard renewal of the Gold Cup, Best Mate hadn’t been even close to his best, and while he was quoted at no longer than 5/2 to surpass Cottage Rake and Arkle and win a fourth consecutive Blue Riband, that price had remained virtually unchanged in the twelve months since last March.
