Horse Racing News: Betfair Chase – Imperial Commander to take his chance at Haydock
Published on 17/11/2010 22:26
Last season’s Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Imperial Commander is poised to make his seasonal reappearance in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday, and in the process bid to go one better than he did in the Grade 1 event last year when just foiled by Kauto Star.
The nine-year-old was mightily impressive when adding his name to the Gold Cup role of honour at the Festival in March, and his subsequent defeat at Aintree in April is best forgiven. Indeed, Nigel…
Racing News: Hennessy Gold Cup – Little Josh pays compliment to Newbury-bound Weird Al
Published on 14/11/2010 16:44
Little Josh’s gallant pillar-to-post pyrotechnics in the Paddy Power Gold Cup served as a major boost to the unbeaten Weird Al ahead of his tilt at the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury on November 27.
Ian Williams’ charge was limited to just three starts as a novice last term, as he suffered a setback after landing the Towton Novices’ Chase at Wetherby in February, causing him to bypass his intended target, the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
However, the …
Kauto Star favourite in King George VI betting odds
Published on 09/11/2010 15:44
Kauto Star proved his well-being with a gutsy display at Down Royal on Saturday and remains a solid favourite to record a record breaking fifth victory in the King George VI chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day.
A solid rather than spectacular performance in Ireland over the weekend saw Victor Chandler clip his odds from 7/4 to 5/4 after his four length defeat of Sizing Europe leaving William Hill and Coral as the place to visit if you fancy the champ to hold on to his crown…
Horse Racing News: Cheltenham – Long Run favourite for Paddy Power Gold Cup
Published on 09/11/2010 09:42
This weekend the jumps season really gets into overdrive, with the Open meeting at Cheltenham, three days of quality National Hunt racing, the pinnacle of which is the Paddy Power Gold Cup on Saturday.
At the time of writing Long Run, a precocious import from France, is the market leader at a top-priced 7-2. Nicky Henderson’s charge was prolific when trained on the other side of the Channel and won two of his three starts when switched to the UK last season, including…
Horse Racing News: Deep Purple Favourite for the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby
Published on 27/10/2010 12:23
Although the Open Meeting at Cheltenham in November is generally seen as the real curtain-raiser of the National Hunt season, the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby invariably attracts a good field, and this year’s renewal on Saturday is shaping up to be an intriguing contest.
The sponsors, along with Victor Chandler and Stan James, make Deep Purple their 5-1 favourite in the ante-post market for the Grade 2 event run over 3m 1f. Evan Williams’ charge won this…

HAVE FAITH IN FAASEL
Published on 14/04/2010 10:21
A change can do people the world of good and, quite often, a change of scenery can work wonders for the equine species. A case in point is FAASEL, who was a classy hurdler and also very promising as a novice chaser for Cumbrian trainer Nicky Richards, but the gelding lost his way during his 2007/08 campaign and last season was equally fruitless.
However, his effort at last month’s Cheltenham Festival – his first start for 10 months and debut for present trainer…
