Altior king George Gold cup immortality

Altior heading down king George Route .


Seems Andrew nelis thinks Altior may be going to king George

               Andrew nelis racing  news .
   Latest news coming out of seven narrows the Nicky Henderson HQ , is the plan for superstar unbeaten over fences   Altior is that they are going down the king George route . Now I've personally seen Altior win every time at  Cheltenham  winning all at 2mile from the supreme novice hurdle, the Arkle and now twice champion chase winner back to back. Is this the right move we are seeing for this  one of the greatest we will probably ever see ?. If Altior can see out three mile at kempton  and succeed, they will gun him for the Gold cup at the festival March.  We are witnessing  a time of which we are not only  watching a horse unbeaten , but  a supreme Arkle  Champion chase and may I add tingle creek winner , now attempting to  do what maybe any horse has ever done . I wish the best of luck to Nicky the owners and Nick De bournville in their quest for  complete stardom if its achieved what they are setting out to do

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...
