Re: Horse Racing
Geraghty hoping Theatre can star
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Jockey Barry Geraghty feels the application of headgear on Riverside Theatre will have a positive impact in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
Riverside Theatre, trained by Nicky Henderson and part-owned by actor Jimmy Nesbitt, returned to something like his old form when winning the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on his seasonal reappearance.

Re: Horse Racing
Silviniaco grabs gold at Kempton.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Silviniaco Conti gave trainer Paul Nicholls an eighth triumph in the William Hill King George VI Chase when outstaying Cue Card in the Christmas showpiece at Kempton.
Cue Card looked likely to win when he held a good lead early in the straight, but he emptied under Joe Tizzard between the last two fences.
That gave Noel Fehily the incentive on Silviniaco Conti (7-2) to grab Cue Card and go away after the last to win by three and a half lengths. The winner's stablemate Al Ferof was third, 11 lengths away.

Re: Horse Racing
Yours on top in Christmas thriller.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
My Tent Or Yours collared The New One on the run-in to claim a thrilling renewal of the williamill.com Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.
The New One, who had taken it up a fair way from home, just had the upper hand coming to the final flight but made a bad mistake, with Sam Twiston-Davies briefly losing an iron.
That allowed Tony McCoy on the Nicky Henderson-trained six-year-old (11-8) to get the better of the 5-6 favourite on the dash to the line and take the Champion Hurdle rehearsal by half a length.

Re: Horse Racing
Kempton glee for all-the-way Amore.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Amore Alato proved resilient from the front to win the William Hill - In The App Store Novices' Hurdle at Kempton for trainer Nick Williams and jockey Richard Johnson.
Last month's Wincanton scorer went off at 12-1 in a very competitive-looking event, but he made it a stern test and had many hard at work turning in.

Re: Horse Racing
Logic has the answers.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
The Paul Nolan-trained Defy Logic claimed the notable scalp of Champagne Fever in the feature Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown.
Dual Cheltenham Festival winner Champagne Fever was the 8-15 favourite following an impressive chasing debut at Punchestown and he and Defy Logic really went at it down the back straight, with both horses producing some brilliant leaps.

Re: Horse Racing
Sacre pulled up in Kempton drama.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Sprinter Sacre was sensationally pulled up on his comeback in the williamhill.com Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton won by Sire De Grugy.
Trainer Nicky Henderson had been forced to skip the Tingle Creek with the highest-rated jumps horse in training due to an unsatisfactory scope and this Grade Two contest was suddenly the focus of his attentions.
Slightly awkward at a couple of his early fences, Barry Geraghty had him in third place but pulled him up with just under a mile to run, remaining on board as he trotted back, while at the business end Sire De Grugy was not that hard pressed to beat Oiseau De Nuit by four lengths.

Re: Horse Racing
Tullow tanks to more glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
The Tullow Tank secured his second Grade One prize of the season with a determined display in the Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown.
Philip Fenton's star youngster arrived at Foxrock off the back of victory in the Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse, but was still not favourite with Willie Mullins' previously unbeaten gelding Moyle Park the 6-5 market leader.

Re: Horse Racing
Bobs camp acknowledge Lexus task.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Part-owner Malcolm Kimmins feels Bobs Worth faces a "big ask" as the Cheltenham Gold Cup hero looks to get his season back on track in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown.
The Nicky Henderson-trained eight-year-old was a brilliant winner of the blue riband at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but was beaten out of sight on his seasonal reappearance in the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month.

Re: Horse Racing
Bobs bounces back to best
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Bobs Worth bounced back from a disappointing seasonal reappearance to land the Grade One Lexus Chase at Leopardstown in thrilling style.
Winner of last season's Cheltenham Gold Cup, Bobs Worth could finish only sixth behind Cue Card in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on his return last month, but he stepped up significantly on that effort to win the three-mile feature.

Re: Horse Racing
Tests confirm Sacre problem.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Nicky Henderson has confirmed Sprinter Sacre is suffering from an irregular heartbeat after his star two-miler underwent tests in Newmarket on Saturday morning.
The seven-year-old made his seasonal bow in Friday's Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton and all appeared to be going well for National Hunt racing's brightest star when he produced a long and flamboyant leap at the fifth.

Re: Horse Racing
Welsh glory for Mountainous.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
There was effectively a home winner of the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow as Mountainous prevailed in an enthralling finish.
The 20-1 chance is owned by the Powys-based breeders James and Jean Potter along with Ffos Las racecourse founder Dai Walters and is trained by Richard Lee, who curiously has a Welsh postcode but is actually based on the Shopshire/Herefordshire border.

Re: Horse Racing
Hurricane delivers masterclass
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Hurricane Fly gave the young pretenders a beating as he landed the 18th Grade One victory of his illustrious career in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown.
The veteran Captain Cee Bee led for much of the way at a brisk pace in the two-mile contest, but when the race began in earnest as they entered the straight the big three of Our Conor, Jezki and Hurricane Fly were all on the premises and ready to attack.
