[ad_1] Eviscerating landed the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle at Naas on Saturday to end the hopes of the Scoop6 bonus seeker Last week’s winner who took the £42,383 win fund chose Thereisnodoubt in their quest to add the £45,609 bonus fund, but the well backed favourite, who was upsides the winner turning for home, […]

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! With British racing cancelled until at least Wednesday 13th Feb due to the outbreak of equine flu, the focus switches to Naas, in Ireland, this Saturday. Full marks to the ITV4 cameras, who are ensuring the show goes on by heading across the […]

With UK racing on hold while the BHA get a handle on an outbreak of Equine Influenza within some training establishments, All-Weather action in Dundalk makes for an eerily quiet Friday on the horse racing front. At such a key point of the turf season, we can only hope this serious issue can be contained […]

With Equine Flu temporarily halting Racing in the UK until at least Wednesday of next week, Nick Luck’s attention turns to Ireland for this week’s blog, where he gives us his selections for Naas, on Saturday… Naas 2.10 – Pravalaguna I think Willie Mullins and his team will be a bit disappointed if Pravalaguna doesn’t […]

It’s been one amazingly frustrating season for everyone involved in jumps racing. Last week it had looked as if the season had finally got going, but typically of late the promised rain never materialised amounting to firm ground at Leopardstown leading to depleted fields across the two days. A mere four runners in the Irish […]

Sandown 1.50 – Buveur d’Air I suspect the dual Champion Hurdler will be made to work a fair bit harder than his odds suggest, but he should still win. Vision des Flos is talented enough to make Nicky Henderson sweat a little bit, particularly now that he’s had a minor breathing operation. Sandown 2.25 – […]

Last week felt like the jumps season finally got going. In what has been a very underwhelming season overall, we finally got to see a few horses seriously throw down the gauntlet in terms of the Cheltenham Festival. Excitement is starting to pick up, and with the Dublin Racing Festival on the horizon, the season […]

A select and high quality field of six will head to post for the 2.25pm BetBright Trial Cotswolds Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday afternoon, where the Paul Nicholls trained Frodon looks to add to a remarkable performance off top weight in the Caspian Caviar here before Christmas. This brilliant little 7yo heads the market, but […]

Cheltenham 1.50 – Ballyhill 7/1 He’s pretty exposed, but Ballyhill is in good form and has loads of experience in these races. If he runs up to the level that saw him finish third to Aso and Happy Diva last time, he should be thereabouts again in a race that is no more difficult. Jordan […]

We’re in for a bit of a Thursday treat this week, with the Cheltenham Gold Cup favourite Presenting Percy returning to action in the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at 1.50pm, along with the Goffs Thyestes Chase taking place at 3pm, where Gordon Elliott (6) and Willie Mullins (8) are responsible for 14 of the 18 […]

There’s nothing quite like the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle. It’s everything that I adore about Horse Racing. This epic brings every facet of what truly makes a great racehorse into question, testing every element of its competitors over two miles on the hollowed turf in Prestbury Park. To win this great race, one must ping every […]

[ad_1] The Scoop6 win fund failed to be won once again on Boxing Day as Clan Des Obeaux, one of just three uncovered runners in the fourth leg, gave Paul Nicholls a tenth King George at Kempton. With a win fund of £558,127 starting the final Saturday of the year, plus an unclaimed £540,356 bonus […]

[ad_1] Altior to star on Festive Thursday     Chepstow 1.05 With the ground in his favour TOP GAMBLE can defy a big weight and bounce back to winning ways for Kerry Lee. It has been a frustrating first half of the season for the trainer but it is probably in her favour that the […]

[ad_1] By his own admission Nicky Henderson “doesn’t win Grand Nationals”, but the Seven Barrows supremo hopes Vyta Du Roc might defy that statement in today’s Welsh National at Chepstow (14:50). Champion trainer Henderson has won most of jumps racing’s biggest prizes although the four major Grand Nationals in Britain and Ireland have so far […]
