Cheltenham Gold cup

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 .

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 ...

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...

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.
