Big bonanza card ahead of Naas Saturday! AndrewNelis

A number of recent Royal Ascot contestants including Royal Ascot winner Art Power are Naas bound this weekend for a quality Saturday Card.
Coolmore Stud, one of Naas Racecourse's longest standing sponsors have announced today that they will sponsor the Group 3 Lacken Stakes for the first time as well as the Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint Race. Recent winners of the Group 3 Lacken Stakes include So Perfect and Group 1 Royal Ascot winners Sioux Nation and Caravaggio. This year the race has attracted 21 entries.
“Coolmore are delighted to be continuing our valued association with Naas racecourse” commented David O’Loughlin of Coolmore Stud.
Last season’s European two-year-old filly of the year Millisle will be making a shorter trip to the racetrack as she is set to have her first start in Ireland this season when lining up in the Coolmore Sioux Nation Lacken Stakes at Naas Racecourse.
The Jessica Harrington trained filly was a winner of the Group 1 Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes last season and finished fifth at Royal Ascot eleven days ago in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup.
Millisle’s potential opposition is headed by English raider Art Power. Tim Easterby’s exciting young sprinter is stepping up in class after his impressive victory in a five-furlong handicap at Royal Ascot.
Another English raider entered is Ventura Rebel for the Richard Fahey yard.
Champion trainer Aidan O’Brien has won the last three running’s of the race and holds eight entries in this renewal including recent Group 3 winner Love Locket and last season’s Group 2 winner Royal Lytham.
Yorkshire-based trainer Easterby said: “We are currently studying the entries and logistics for the weekend.
Art Power is in good form, he has come out of his Royal Ascot win very well and I am very happy with him. He is a very exciting horse to train.”
The Coolmore Stud EBF Fillies Sprint Stakes is another pattern race down for decision on Saturday and the exciting Ger Lyons trained Frenetic heads the 12 entries. She showed her class last weekend in the Listed GAIN First Flier Stakes at the Curragh when dismissing her five rivals with a fine display of speed. Connections will be hoping she can do the same this weekend...

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 ...

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

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.
