CAMELOT is as short as 3-1 (from 8-1) with Ladbrokes for the Investec Derby after barely coming off the bridle to win the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy.

Quote:
Aidan O’Brien, who was winning the race for the sixth time, said: “He’s looked extraordinary all the way along and he’s unbelievable at home. I’m over the moon and we’re looking forward to next year already.”

Betfred Monet's Garden Old Roan Chase (Grade 2) 2m4f, 4yo+


ALBERTAS RUN and Tony McCoy had to work to beat outsider Pure Faith, who ran the race of his career to finish within a length of the winner. The pair left 2-5 favourite Master Minded, who put in a mixed round of jumping, a beaten horse at the last.

RUBY WALSH said on Saturday that that he could review the frequency of his visits to Britain after he breached the new whip rules at Aintree - where jockeys threatened to boycott the following race in support of their colleague.


Quote:
Reacting to the ban, an angry Walsh said: “The punishment didn’t fit the crime. I miss a Grade 1 chase at Down Royal and a good race at Cork. If that deserves a five-day ban the game is f***ed."

Quote:
The ban sparked discussions between Walsh’s weighing room colleagues, who were reluctant to participate in the sixth race, with the jockeys only deciding to ride after champion jockey Tony McCoy intervened.

KEVIN DARLEY, chief executive of the Professional Jockeys' Association, on Sunday expressed his concerns over the amended whip rules introduced on Friday and called for the BHA to make a further review of the permitted number of times a jockey can use his whip during a race - currently seven on the Flat and eight over jumps.


Quote:
Jockeys are still getting banned left,right and centre. I just don't think that these rules are working," the former jockey told At The Races.

Quote:
"The punishments are taking the competitiveness away from the jockeys. They're not acting as a deterrent and we need to look at the rule again."

Capannelle (Rome): Longines Lydia Tesio (Group 1) 1m2f,3yo+ fillies' & mares'

AFTER a run of seeing their top prizes poached by foreign raiders, the Italians could celebrate a big home win thanks to the tough and talented Quiza Quiza Quiza.

Quote:
Winning trainer Luigi Riccardi said: "The Tesio has always been a difficult race but our filly is just at the best of her form. This was her third run after a summer break, which is when she is at her best. The rain and soft ground was also a good thing for her."

Ruby Walsh unwilling to commit to Poquelin ride




Quote:
RUBY WALSH on Sunday said that the five-day whip ban he was handed at Aintree the previous day has left him questioning the merits of riding Poquelin in Saturday’s Grade 2 Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.

Quote:
"I'm facing a ten-day suspension next time I offend. I didn’t offend on purpose yesterday and I won't offend on purpose ever again, so every ride I take from now on in the UK has to be extremely calculated. It has to be worth the risk."

CONNECTIONS of Harbour Watch, the favourite for next season's Qipco 2,000 Guineas in some bookmakers' lists, have warned that the colt could face a race against time to make the line-up at Newmarket next May.

Quote:
We have just got to hope that he makes a full recovery but it is going to be tight to get him to the Guineas. We have just got to hope that he comes back bang on-song and if he does he is the horse they will all be fearing next year, I am absolutely sure.

Three times Derby winner Johnny Murtagh is the latest Ireland-based Jockey to announce that he will dramatically reduce his riding appearances in Britain because of the new whip rules.

Quote:
"I cannot risk these lengths of bans when I come over to Britain. You won't see me in the lead-up to major meetings like Royal Ascot and races like the Derby any more. I'll probably draw the line at Group races only.

THERE was good news on the recovery of two of racing's most popular personalities on Tuesday after trainer Henrietta Knight posted a positive update on the wellbeing of her husband Terry Biddlecombe and Grand National-winning trainer Josh Gifford.


Quote:
Revealing the welcome news on her website, Knight said: "Terry is progressing and taking short walks. He has lost a lot of weight and looks very weak but his mind is still sharp and he's watching all the racing on the TV channels and is busy telling me what to do!

Glad to hear this.

NOBLE MISSION bids to follow in his illustrious brother Frankel's footsteps by making a winning debut at Yarmouth this afternoon - but connections havealready warned that any sort of comparison at this stage is highly premature.

Quote:
"We think he's going to make up into a mile-and-a-quarter, mile-and-a-half horse next year. I know there are expectations, but I think it would be misleading to say we have another worldbeater on our hands at this stage."

PAUL BITTAR, the incoming chief executive of the British Horseracing Authority, has placed the restructuring of the levy at the top of his list of priorities when he takes over the role in January.

Quote:
He said: "The levy is the critical thing in the long term so it will be the critical thing in the short term also. I think what I can do is bring some learnings from Australia around a legislative framework that has helped us capture some of the components of the levy that are currently being bypassed in the UK.

Hannon's son, Richard jnr said: "I would like him to be drawn somewhere near the inside. That way he could use his speed and I wouldn't mind if he made it because it's vitally important to have them up there when you run in America."
