                            Cheltenham Gold cup  March 13th 

                                        

                                           ANDREW NELIS RACING NEWS 


Now most of the trials of the 3miles staying division are finally over, we can look at the players for the blueriband  come March.
I've stated from the very start that  a Good RSA novice  is a good yard stick to stick with as a guide  , last year  we had  Topofthegame delta world and santini finishing in the top three !. What has happened since  bar Topofthegame who was injured earlier on in the season and ruled out for a entire season, leaving Delta work and santini to come forward as the new kids in the block , both have come out and won, with santini back after a wind op coming back winning impressively beating Bristol De ma at Cheltenham just after Christmas . Then we had at the weekend the Dublin racing festival at Fairyhouse winning grinding out a win against the likes of kemboy and presenting percy ( RSA) winner 2018 . Now before  I finish on deltawork . I must mention current Gold cup champion Al bhoum photo who beat in last years punchestowns festival Kemboy winning on his return before  being rested for the defence of his title come March.  I believe it will be the Irish heading the cards in this year's Gold cup,  and the English challenge coming from santini and clan des Obeaux .I'm making a bold prediction  on this years Gold cup  the winner coming as improving delta work filling the places Al bhoum photo and santini  .

Fury to contest the St Ledger Doncaster Andrew Nelis

Trainer Richard Spencer has identified the St Leger at Doncaster as the primary objective for his exciting colt Tyson Fury. The Newmarket handler confirmed in February of last year that the two-time heavyweight world champion had given his blessing for the Iffraaj colt to be named in his honour, with part-owner Phil Cunningham friendly with a member of Fury's team. While it has taken a while for the equine Tyson Fury to hit the racecourse, he produced a knockout display on his Doncaster debut earlier in the month, leaving connections dreaming of a tilt at Classic glory later in the year...                      Andrew Nelis Racing 

Enable looks to eclipse as next port of call Sandown Andrew Nelis

The  Coral -Eclipse at Sandown remains the most likely comeback target for superstar mare  Enable . The daughter of Nathaniel was just denied in her bid for an historic third consecutive victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at the end of last season, filling the runner-up spot behind Waldgeist to end her sequence of 12 straight victories. Less than a fortnight later, Enable’s owner-breeder Khalid Abdullah delighted racing fans by confirming his charge would stay in training as a six-year-old – with a return to Paris in the autumn top of the agenda. Connections decided against an appearance at Royal Ascot, but the owner’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe reports the  John Gosden -trained mare to be firmly on course for the Eclipse on July 5 following a pleasing workout under Frankie Dettori last week. “It’s been a gradual build-up – she’s a six-year-old mare, so I don’t think John wants to do anything too quickly,” Grimthorpe told Sky Sports Racing. “She’s ...

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 ...
