Champion Hurdle preview 2019 festival Andrew Nelis

Beveur Dair current champion Dual winner heads to the festival , knowing now two of Ireland’s finest mares in Laurina and Apples have their sights set firmly on the current champion come March .
Bevuir dair is rightly a true champion , having won the last 2 renewals , but the manner of which Apples jade destroying her rivals in the Irish champion Hurdle at the weekend at leopardstown , has now left a real tasty match for all racing fans come day one of the festival .
Initially after the win , in the Irish champion Hurdle , Elliot tweeted that she is going mares .But next day , Gordon Elliot Apples jades trainer , who had a talk with owner michael O Leary , said it would be mad not to give her her chance. Now in the champion on the Tuesday . It’s like this IMO melon who she taken apart with such ease , given melon is a 170 rated horse , and came within a a whisker of the current champion last year , suggests very clear , that Apples jade rated 174 , with a mares allowance of 7lb , this would have her off a mark of 182 , bevuir currently standing at. 180 RPR . Not getting carried away but a 7yr old Apples jade still improving and surely the best to come , would she take BD ... she will go very close that’s all I am going to say , then throw in Willie Mullins other super mare. Laurina ... another progressive and handy sort , who will also be in the mix , followed by my dark horse. Sharjah which I recommend backing EW at current odds of 8/1 . What a champion we have in store in day one of the festival. Andrew Nelis Racing News .

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.

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...
