Min Ryanair chase 14/3/2019 Cheltenham. Andrew Nelis

              Min heads up Ryanair chase Cheltenham 2019 

                                             By Andrew Nelis  


Willie Mullins charge min heads up a field of 13 at this stage of the standings in the Ryanair chase Cheltenham. The 8yr old has run at the festival twice before finishing second to the champion chaser Altior . What strikes me about min is he reminds me of a sizing John who also was playing second fiddle to the powerful douvan , before being stepped up in trip  and go on to win a gold cup  . Min is a worthy favourite were we are now , without Altior  we could have been looking at a festival  winners two years on the trot . It’s very highly possible  he has found his trip  and it could be a third time lucky at Prestbury Park come March

Epsom Derby Runners and riders 2020 Andrew Nelis

1 AMHRAN NA BHFIANN Sire : Galileo.  Trainer : Aidan O’Brien.  Official rating : --.  Odds : 50-1 Who will add their name to the Derby roll of honour? Positives : His sister, Was, won the Oaks on her third start in 2012, while his brother, Douglas Macarthur, finished seventh in the 2017 Derby after being deployed as a pacemaker. He himself offered something to work on when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden last time, when finishing behind three stablemates who subsequently all made their presence felt in the Irish Derby. His best days are ahead of him. Negatives : Has mountain to climb on form and even his master trainer has not pulled off the trick of winning the Derby with a twice-raced maiden. Indeed, the last maiden to win the race was in 1887. Verdict : Folly to underestimate anything his trainer runs but easy enough to looks elsewhere. 2 EMISSARY Sire : Kingman.  Trainer : Hugo Palmer.  Official rating : 98.  Odds : 33-1 ...

Brodie Hampson what a warrior a inspiration to us All. Andrew Nelis racing

 When  amateur  jockey Brodie Hampson steps out of the weighing room to ride  Only The Brave  at VL Aesthetics Ladies Night at  Carlisle  on Monday, there will be part of her that knows she is lucky to be riding at all. Life has not been easy for the 27-year-old, who along with suffering a catalogue of serious injuries has had to deal with losing her dad Mark to cancer in May 2016 and watch her mum bravely defeat the same disease on three separate occasions. It has already been a year of ups and downs for Hampson who only returned to race riding at Beverley on Tuesday of last week, having spent the last four months on the sidelines with a broken leg sustained in a freak gallops accident in Lambourn in March. Reflecting on her latest comeback, Hampson, the fiancée of Group One-winning trainer Archie Watson, admits her most recent time spent out of the saddle nursing her right leg back to full health has been both mentally, and physically challenging.

Dday 8th june Ireland horse racing Ireland Andrew Nelis racing

Horse Racing Ireland delighted to get June 8 approval for resumption Fri 15 May 2020 Horse Racing  Ireland  chief executive Brian Kavanagh has expressed the sport’s gratitude after being given permission to restart action behind closed doors on June 8. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine said last week that racing, as a spectator-free sport, would fall into the third phase of the Irish Government’s plan to ease lockdown restrictions, meaning a June 29 restart looked likely. However, following consultation between HRI and the Irish Government, it has been agreed racing can resume three weeks’ earlier than initially scheduled, with strict protocols in place. The last meeting to be held in Ireland before the coronavirus shutdown was at Clonmel on March 24. Kavanagh said: “We are grateful to be one of the sectors permitted to go back to work and acknowledge the responsibility on everybody in racing to ensure the events are run in a safe way. “We know...
