Re: Horse Racing
Cole rules the World for Greatrex.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Warren Greatrex was left fighting back the tears after stable star Cole Harden produced a fantastic front-running display to clinch glory in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
One of the emerging stars of the training ranks in recent years, Greatrex moved to Uplands stables in Upper Lambourn with a team of just 15 horses after a spell as private trainer to Malcolm Denmark came to an end in 2012 and his subsequent progress has been rapid, with Cole Harden the star in a 70-plus strong string.

Festival dream comes true for McCoy.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Tony McCoy erased any fears he had of leaving his final Cheltenham Festival without a winner to his name when masterminding a bold front-running success aboard Uxizandre in the Ryanair Chase.
The 19-times champion jockey showed his intention as soon at the tapes lifted, sending the 18-1 shot straight into an unchallenged lead in the two-mile-five-furlong contest.

Re: Horse Racing
Hail the new champion.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/31876881
Quote:
Coneygree became the first novice to strike for 41 years when making most of the running in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The eight-year-old, trained by Mark Bradstock and ridden by Nico de Boinville, took the blue riband prize of steeplechasing on only his fourth race over fences.
The success fully vindicated the decision to bypass the RSA Chase earlier in the week and run in the Gold Cup instead.

Towering Martello claims Bartlett.

Quote:
Mags Mullins saddled her first Cheltenham Festival winner when Martello Tower came out on top in a gruelling battle for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle.
In another race dominated by Irish raiders, Martello Tower (14-1) ground out victory for owner Barry Connell and his retained jockey Adrian Heskin.

Henderson at Peace with Triumph.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Heavily -backed favourite Peace And Co raised the roof in the opening event on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival as he led home a one-two-three for Nicky Henderson in the JCB Triumph Hurdle.
The master of Seven Barrows is no stranger to success in the juvenile championship, with this a record sixth victory since his initial strike with First Bout 30 years ago.

New targeting Aintree redemption.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
The New One will bid to redeem his reputation at Aintree next month following a below-par display in the Stan James Champion Hurdle.
Nigel Twiston-Davies admitted being disappointed by his stable star's run at Cheltenham where he never threatened to take a hand in the finish and was only fifth to Faugheen.

Re: Horse Racing
Gleneagles backed for Guineas.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
A host of bookmakers have reported significant money for Gleneagles in the ante-post market on the Qipco 2000 Guineas.
Fourth on his racecourse debut, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt finished a fine juvenile campaign when passing the post first in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on Arc day, only to be demoted to third by the stewards for causing interference.

Curragh on Kazeem radar.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Former winner Al Kazeem is one of 28 entries for the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on May 24.
Roger Charlton's seven-year-old returned from a spell at stud last year to run right back up to his best form, agonisingly beaten by Noble Mission in the Champion Stakes at Ascot.

Quote:
Barry Geraghty will miss the ride on leading Crabbie's Grand National candidate The Druids Nephew after suffering a hairline fracture to his left tibia in a fall at Downpatrick on Sunday.
The leading jockey was riding Sailors Warn for Edward O'Grady in the Visit toals.co.uk Rated Hurdle and still held every chance when he fell at the second-last.

Re: Horse Racing
Gleneagles set for Curragh spin.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Qipco 2000 Guineas favourite Gleneagles will strut his stuff at the Curragh on Sunday after Aidan O'Brien confirmed the exciting colt will be part of the Ballydoyle contingent working after racing.
The son of Galileo won four of his six starts as a juvenile, grabbing Group One glory in the National Stakes, and also passed the post in front in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longhamp only to be subsequently disqualified for causing interference

Ground key to Found Guineas attempt.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Aidan O'Brien has warned that a Qipco 1000 Guineas tilt for Found could be in doubt if fast conditions prevail at Newmarket.
The daughter of Galileo tops ante-post lists for both the Guineas and the Oaks after a brilliant display in Longchamp's Prix Marcel Boussac.

Quote:
William Haggas was pleased to hear Doncaster have had a little rain ahead of the Betway Lincoln to boost the chances of his runner Mange All.
The Newmarket trainer has already won the historic handicap three times, with High Low in 1992, Very Wise in 2007 and Penitent in 2010
