ZAIDPOUR ended star mare Voler La Vedette's winning run under an astute tactical ride by Ruby Walsh in the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle

Quote:
Attempting the 3m trip with Zaidpour for the first time, Mullins said: "Tactics won it for us. It was a very sharp ride by Ruby [Walsh].
"Zaidpour will probably go to Cheltenham although you couldn't say that was any kind of trial for either the Champion or the World Hurdle."

THE Racing Post was on Thursday unveiled as the new sponsor of the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
The Grade 1 contest, which has attracted 27 entries, is one of the most eagerly awaited of this year's meeting with Sprinter Sacre, Peddlers Cross and Al Ferof set to do battle over the 2m trip.
The agreement signals the return of the Racing Post as a sponsor at the festival, having supported what is now the Byrne Group Plate from 2006 to 2008.
