Re: Horse Racing
Time called on Forpady career.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Forpadydeplasterer, winner of the 2009 Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival, has been retired.
Trainer Tom Cooper called time on the popular 11-year-old's career after he largely struggled to show his best form during the past few seasons. He was last seen finishing down the field in the Munster National at Limerick on October 13.

Re: Horse Racing
Gosden relishing Fugue challenge.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
John Gosden declared The Fugue in "tremendous shape" as his star filly limbered for the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita on Saturday evening.
The Irish Champion Stakes winner was accompanied on the grass by big-race pilot William Buick, and was watched by Gosden, part-owner Lady Lloyd Webber and racing manager Simon Marsh.

Re: Horse Racing
Morning glory at Punchestown.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Morning Assembly made an impressive debut over fences in the Ballymore Christmas Fair & Family Fun November Festival Beginners Chase at Punchestown.
Pat Fahy's Grade One-winning hurdler was given a positive ride from flag-fall by Ruby Walsh, who was deputising for the injured Davy Condon, and jumped well in the main, aside from a couple of slight mistakes.

Stoute hope Dank settling in well
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Sir Michael Stoute's Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf hope Dank was described as "very happy" and "relaxed" as she familiarised herself with the turf track at Santa Anita.
Already successful in America having won the Beverly D. Stakes at Arlington in August, the James Wigan-owned four-year-old went on to the grass and enjoyed a steady canter round a circuit

Re: Horse Racing
Cue Card heading back to Exeter.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Cue Card will defend his crown in the BetVictor Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on Tuesday.
The Colin Tizzard-trained gelding was tremendously impressive in slamming Edgardo Sol 12 months ago and is set to take a familiar path, starting off at Exeter before stepping up in trip.
Tizzard said: "It's a good starting point for Cue Card. Two miles one furlong around Exeter is ideal for him and he will probably be stepped up in trip after.

Re: Horse Racing
Hills buoyed by Chriselliam form
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Trainer Charlie Hills is confident Chriselliam will make her presence felt in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita on Friday.
The daughter of Iffraaj was a shock winner when claiming Group One glory in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last month, showing smart acceleration to pick up top-class filly Rizeena on the run to the line.

Re: Horse Racing
Royal engagement for Jezki.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Trainer Jessica Harrington has warned punters not to expect a fully tuned up Jezki as the triple Grade One winner looks to give weight and a beating to four opponents in the WKD Hurdle at Down Royal.
The five-year-old was hugely impressive in winning top-level prizes at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown in the first half of last season, prompting leading owner JP McManus to snap him up prior to the Cheltenham Festival.

Re: Horse Racing
O'Brien on War footing for Classic
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...lassic&day=Fri
Quote:
Aidan O'Brien believes Declaration Of War represents possibly his best ever chance of finally claiming victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita on Saturday.
Given the prestigious 10-furlong Group One affair is generally run on dirt, it is no surprise European challengers have struggled to make a significant impact as they are neither bred for or have experience of tackling such underfoot conditions.

Re: Horse Racing
Nicholls hands Scholfield new role
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...3&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Nick Scholfield has been appointed number two jockey at Paul Nicholls' powerful Ditcheat stables.
Scholfield, who won the Grade One Tolworth Hurdle on Melodic Rendezvous at Sandown last season, heads over to Down Royal on Saturday to ride the Nicholls-trained Rolling Aces and Kauto Stone in the two feature races.
