Saturday, March 20th, 2010Donald McCain continues on an upward curve since taking over from his Dad, the legendary Ginger, and the yard had a nice winner at Cheltenham with the very promising Peddler’s Cross. The stable have some fancied runners at Carlisle tomorrow, not least Cool Mission in the novice hurdle ...

Friday, March 19th, 2010The Cheltenham Festival once again provided some wonderful racing and drama aplenty. I can’t claim too many successes on the tipping front but I suspect that I am not alone in that respect. There were a few winners that I probably should have had. Menorah’s previous run put ...

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010National Hunt Steeple Chase Challenge Cup There are not too many that I can work up much enthusiasm for in this race. Pettifour has been a disappointment over fences and seems likely to blunder away his chance. Pennek has festival form as he was 3rd over hurdles last season ...
Cheltenham Day 1
Monday, March 15th, 2010Spinal Research Supreme Novices' Hurdle Dunguib, last year’s winner of the Festival bumper, is unbeaten over hurdles and may well be a superstar. The only factors against him are his relatively inexperienced jockey and a rather sloppy round of jumping on his last start. If we are ...
Cheltenham – we’re almost there!

Late thoughts
Saturday, March 13th, 2010I will stand by my comments on the Imperial Cup in last night’s preview but another to consider at a big price is Katie's Tutor. Decent ground is the key to this one and he could go well.
