#Gary Moore

The HK$18.5 million Longines Hong Kong Sprint has fast become a global sprint championship race, with horses lining up regularly from many of racing's leading jurisdictions to determine which horse is quickest. Originally run over the straight 1000m course as a Listed race, Hong Kong legend Fairy King Prawn won the first edition in 1999. The…

Galia Des Liteaux never put a foot wrong as she jumped her rivals into submission in the eventmasters.co.uk Hampton Novices' Chase at Warwick. Dan Skelton has made no secret of the regard in which he holds the seven-year-old mare, and when she won a Listed event for mares on her chasing debut the sky looked the limit. Upped to Grade One level for…

Perseus Way (Jamie Moore) jumps the final flight to win the Chatteris Fen Friday: Huntingdon Perseus Way got another wheel back on Gary Moore's Cheltenham bandwagon when running out a very impressive winner of the feature Weatherbys Chatteris Fen Juvenile Hurdle. Rather than bolster Moore's strong hand in the Triumph Hurdle, the 10-11 chance could…

No Grade 1 action this weekend, but there's three Grade 2s on offer across both racecourses. First up here's a quick run through of our selections for Saturday's action, there's some more detail on our highlighted horses further down the page. Selections: 13:30 (Kempton) Percussion 13:50 (Warwick) Galia Des Liteaux 14:05 (Kempton) Pic D'Orhy 14:25…

Nicky Henderson believes Epatante must be treated as "still a possible runner" in the Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle - despite her not featuring among the initial entries for the Cheltenham Festival contest. The winner of the Unibet Champion Hurdle in 2020 before placing behind Honeysuckle the following two years, Epatante has been given the option…

Newcastle's Flat card features a conditions race over a mile and a quarter with some smart older performers entered up. They include the John & Thady Gosden pair Harrovian and Forest of Dean who finished third and fifth respectively in a listed race at Lingfield in November which has thrown up some winners since. This looks a bit less competitive,…

Our Monday tipster Ross Millar picked Glen Cannel (6-1) and Hansard (5-2) last week in a great start to the new year and shares his three best bets for all the action from Taunton. Enjoy every moment live on Racing TV. 1.25 Taunton: Robin's Dream This should be competitive despite just four runners. Cap Du Mathan has winning course form and will…

Love Envoi was an ultra-impressive winner of the Listed Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Mares' Hurdle at Sandown and propelled herself towards the head of the market for the David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham. The Harry Fry -trained seven-year-old travelled supremely well throughout in the two-and-a-half-mile contest and pulled herself to the…

Full replay: Wishing And Hoping triumphs in £100000 prize The most valuable race at Sandown Park today was the £100000 Unibet Veterans' Handicap Chase Final, which saw a 50-1 shock result courtesy of Wishing And Hoping. One of four 13 year olds in the 18-runner field, Wishing And Hoping was always at the head of affairs under regular partner Alex…

Tahmuras gave Paul Nicholls a fifth Unibet Tolworth Novices' Hurdle in sauntering to an easy success at Sandown. A stylish winner of a Listed contest at Haydock on his previous run, Harry Cobden's mount travelled supremely well throughout in the two-mile contest, and was content to allow Colonel Harry to make the running under Gavin Sheehan. Though…

IT might surprise you, but in general terms the 2022 Cheltenham bumper form has been absolutely pants. Of course, the obvious exception has been the brilliant winner, Facile Vega, who simply looks well, errr, brilliant! But outside of Willie Mullins's star most of those who went on the level at Prestbury Park have disappointed. There's still hope,…

Well, we've finally arrived at my final blog of 2022. Have you had enough of racing yet this festive period? Of course not! Let's kick off 2023 as we ended 2022, with more superb sport headlined by Cheltenham's New Year's Day fixture. The first horse I'm pinning my hopes on to get the new year off to a flyer is SECRET REPRIEVE in the AIS Handicap…

Gemirande: represents last year's winning connections Venetia Williams and Charlie Deutsch Since this 0-130 was introduced in 2015, all but one of the winners has returned a Racing Post Rating between 137 and 150. Considering RPRs and the BHA work to a similar scale, those high figures suggest this is a classy race for the grade and that punters…

TAHMURAS can provide Paul Nicholls with another noivce success at the top level in the Unibet Novices' Tolworth Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) (2.25pm) at Sandown Park on Saturday afternoon. Nicholls claimed the Challow Hurdle with Hermes Allen at Newbury last week and he is heading to the Cheltenham Festival with a big chance. Now Tahmuras can book…

Happy New Year! I don't know about you, but I always forget to say that when I see someone for the first time since the change of the year. The period between Christmas and New Year (I got many an eye roll for calling it Twixmas!) blurs into a succession of days and as I was in bed before 9pm on New Year's Eve, 2022 rolled into 2023 almost…

Trainer Gary Moore believes Saturday's Tolworth Hurdle (2.25) is the strongest for a long time as he prepares Authorised Speed for the first Grade 1 contest of the new year. With Arctic Bresil coming over from Ireland to take on Authorised Speed and the Paul Nicholls-trained Tahmuras, the Unibet-sponsored novice hurdle could provide stronger clues…

Jump to: Boxing Day is all about horse racing in the United Kingdom and…

The gelded son of Authorized will face seven rivals when bidding to extend his unbeaten run over hurdles on his return to Grade One company in the two-mile prize, which was claimed 12 months ago by current Unibet Champion Hurdle favourite Constitution Hill. While victory for Moore would be a first in the race, he feels it would be extra fitting for…

The Challow Novices' Hurdle has a stellar roll of honour this century and Paul Nicholls, responsible for the last two winners, Bravemansgame and Stage Star, won it again with Hermes Allen (144p from 135p). This renewal combined both quantity - it was the first double-figure field since 2009 - with quality, though the testing conditions took their…

Known as one of the biggest characters amongst the riding fraternity, he is best remembered on track for partnering Carruthers to an emotional victory in the 2011 Hennessy Gold Cup, while he also picked up a pair of Grade Two wins over hurdles on future Gold Cup winner Coneygree. He also registered a Cheltenham Festival winner when partnering King…

Picking up from my last column to cover the remainder of the holiday program (December 28 to January 1) in what was the busiest post-Boxing Day period for some time, the narrative seemed to me more of the same - some horses enhanced their reputations, a bigger number diminished theirs, and a standout performance to breathe new life into some…

My Oberon: dramatic winner at Windsor on Saturday Saturday: Windsor There were 51 races in Britain and Ireland on Saturday but it took a four-runner affair to provide one of the most dramatic finishes of the day, with My Oberon stealing the show in the Vickers-sponsored Midsummer Stakes in the dying strides. With all runners under pressure on the…

There's plenty of top-class jumps racing this weekend with New Years Day kicking off 2023 in style at Cheltenham with the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle and big fields at Fairyhouse. There's multiple races to get behind on Sunday with graded, Class 1 and 2 contests ushering in the new year with a bang at Cheltenham, including the Paddy Power New Year's Day…

Simply The Betts: can he go one better after finishing second in the race last year? In a normal season, the Paddy Power New Year's Day Handicap Chase would be the most winnable of the major handicap chases around 2m4f at Cheltenham. That was the lesson from findings presented in these pages before the December Gold Cup on December 10, but the fact…

Mares' Hurdle champion Marie's Rock faces a considerable challenge on the first stop towards her Cheltenham Festival defence, but trainer Nicky Henderson hopes the mares' allowance will give her the advantage. The eight-year-old is against geldings in open company for the first time and also lacks the match fitness of all eight rivals, with this…

The exciting Jet Powered lost his unbeaten record in the Coral Racing Club Join For Free'Introductory' Hurdle at Newbury as Jupiter Du Gite recorded a wide margin success at 66/1. Sent off at a prohibitive price, Jet Powered tracked Jupiter Du Gite through the early stages with the field well strung out at halfway. The field closed a little on the…

Trainer Ian Williams has conquered this 2m4½f handicap on three occasions with a trio of useful dual-purposes recruits and he comes double-handed in his bid for a record-equalling fourth win in the race. Since 1988, only Mark Johnston has a better record in this contest, and the Williams-trained Reshoun heads the market for this unique event, which…

Winner of a Tralee point-to-point for Colin Bowe in May 2021, the son of Authorized was ultra-impressive when making his belated debut under rules at Lingfield in November, bolting up by 13 lengths. Keen to get some more experience into the highly regarded six-year-old - who is out of a sister to the great six-time Cheltenham Festival winner…

ITV Saturday gets under way here with a handicap chase over an extended 2m. A tricky heat. GALLIC GEORDIE scored in this off a mark of 99 last season for this column and even though he's up to 108 now he might just go in again. He's not an easy ride and fell last time, but he definitely has the ability to go well for Robbie Dunne and Sam…

Edwardstone was lobbing along at the back of the field when he got in too close to one down the far side leaving Cannon no chance as he was catapulted out of the saddle. Editeur Du Gite was bowling along nicely in front under Niall Houlihan at that stage and he didn't see another rival as he galloped on relentlessly for a 13-length success from…

Mr Jack and Niall Houlihan on the way to an emotional victory at Plumpton on Monday Mr Jack's victory in the concluding 2m handicap hurdle provided a poignant success for Andy Irvine, partner of trainer Zoe Davison who died earlier this month after a long battle with cancer. Davison's death on January 3 was preceded by a double for the yard on the…

IF at first you don't succeed, try, try again. The Two Amigos, having his third crack at the Welsh Grand National, made every yard of the running for a memorable win at Chepstow. The 16-1 shot fought them all off under a ballsy ride from 5lb claimer David Prichard to give trainer Nicky Martin her biggest winner. The gutsy 10-year-old was fifth on…

With Christmas fast approaching, so too is Chepstow's flagship event. The Welsh Grand National is almost upon us. So, are the Welsh Grand National 2022 entries confirmed? Absolutely. 26 horses are still in with a shout of getting down to business over the mammoth trip. Whether every single one of those horses starts the race is another matter, but…

It's a typically busy Boxing Day on Sky Sports Racing with Wolverhampton hosting a quality all-weather card, while there is top jumping from Fontwell and Newcastle. Art Power is the standout name among seven declarations for the Top Odds Every Day With BetUK Conditions Stakes (3.00). Disappointing when well beaten at Newcastle earlier this month,…

Broomfield Burg and JPR One are fancied for Betfair Hurdle glory. Clan Des Obeaux, part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, is one of several Paul Nicholls runners on the Newbury card Broomfield Burg (left) is favourite for the Betfair Hurdle Favourite Broomfield Burg bids to roll back the years for JP McManus and Nicky Henderson in the Betfair Hurdle…

Bravemansgame and L'Homme Presse feature among a final field of nine horses declared for the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton. Paul Nicholls has long since considered the Boxing Day showpiece as a tailor-made target for Bravemansgame, who was a brilliant winner of the Kauto Star Novices' Chase on this day last season. The seven-year-old…

Steve Packham (third left): hoping Goshen can gain a first Grade 1 in the Long Walk Hurdle No-one could begrudge Steve Packham a first Grade 1 winner at Kempton on Monday and Goshen's owner believes his fans' favourite will relish a first try over three miles in the Ladbrokes Long Walk Hurdle (12.45). The Gary Moore-trained Goshen looked a Grade 1…

Sky Sports Racing presenter Alex Hammond is back with her Christmas blog, taking aim at the King George, Long Walk Hurdle and the Welsh Grand National. Amongst all the rushing around for Christmas in the Hammond house, there is some serious racing to look forward to over the festive period, it's no wonder my house guests choose to leave on Boxing…

Fingers crossed we'll get some racing in the UK this Saturday, but prospects hang in the balance. Lingfield Park will hold a precautionary inspection at 7.30am to determine whether racing will take place. The seven-race all-weather card - which features the Listed Quebec Stakes - is due to start at 12.05pm and despite overnight temperatures…

The weights for the 2022 Randox Grand National at Aintree Racecourse have risen by 5lbs after the top three in the handicap - Galvin, Conflated and Melon - were taken out at the latest scratchings' stage. There are now 78 entries remaining, with Henry De Bromhead's Chris's Dream now topping the weights at 11st10lb, for the Aintree showpiece on…

Southwell's all-weather track has been something of a saviour during the recent cold snap and is again in focus on Thursday with a competitive seven-race card, all live on Sky Sports Racing. George Boughey's Pocket The Packet has been dominating nursery contests on the all-weather in recent weeks, winning four out of his last five outings. Now…

Wednesday was one of the wettest days seen at a festival and, after watering on Tuesday night, the ground was in a near unraceable state by the time they ran the bumper. We had a drying day on Thursday and the switch to the New course also helped, but it still seems fair to assume the going will be testing for the traditional Gold Cup day…

Gary Moore is assembling a fine squad of novice hurdlers this term and is eyeing up Kempton on Boxing Day for his taking Huntingdon winner Hansard. The Noel Fehily Racing Club-owned gelding travelled strongly in the hands of Jamie Moore at the Cambridgeshire track on his stable debut and showed plenty of speed to quicken off the slow pace and deny…
