                            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 ...

Aidan Obrien trio crack Asaault ready for the Qatar sussex stakes Goodwood Andrew Nelis racing

  £20 Risk Free First Bet Aidan O’Brien could saddle a formidable three-pronged assault in his bid for a sixth victory in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. It is 21 years since the popular Giant’s Causeway provided the Ballydoyle handler with his first win in the prestigious Group One contest, a success he still recalls fondly two decades on. The record-breaking Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), Henrythenavigator (2008), Rip Van Winkle (2009) and The Gurkha (2016) have all since added their names to the roll of honour in a race O’Brien ranks highly in the Flat racing calendar. “Giant’s Causeway is a horse that would come to mind when you think of the Sussex. It’s a very difficult race to win,” said the trainer. “It’s a very prestigious mile race. It’s the ultimate test really – it’s up and it’s down and it’s left and right. They have to have speed and stamina and they have to be very versatile. “It can be the ultimate test of a miler, physically and mentally. It’s a very important race ...
