The Albert Bartlett has thrown up some wild results in the last decade and an average winning SP of 18-1 reminds us that rewards can be reaped by ignoring the obvious. Experience tends to be one of the most important factors as the average Albert Bartlett winner ran 5.4 times over hurdles before arriving at the festival, compared with 3.4 for the…

It's the final day of the 2022 Cheltenham Festival and there's seven more races taking place. The Gold Cup is the feature contest at 3.30pm and Rachael Blackmore is bidding to become the first female jockey to win it. On her chances, she said: "The Gold Cup is what the whole week of Cheltenham builds around. It's the pinnacle of the racing year and…

What a week it has been! The racing has been phenomenal, the weather largely clear and most crucially of all, fans were back where they belong on the terraces. Cheltenham felt like it was truly back this week as a result. See you in 2023! It's the seventh Irish-trained winner from seven races on Friday! Mark McDonagh did an excellent job steering…

Well two for Paul Nicholls and with neither Nicky Henderson or the Ditcheat maestro having runners in the feature - he looks firm favourite to take a 13th Trainers' Championship. We had a winner for Ireland - one for Scotland - and one for Wales... Make sure you join Andy Jones and myself for all of the action tomorrow from 10am. The feature race…

Rachael Blackmore can make history and win her first Cheltenham Gold Cup riding A Plus Tard. Henry De Bromhead's chaser, second last year, was extremely impressive in the Betfair Chase at the start of the season. He was then pipped by Galvin, when Blackmore probably hit the front a little sooner than ideal against a strong stayer, at…

Armory (second from left) makes a winning return to action Cox Plate runner-up Armory earned a chance to bid for top-level glory closer to home with a last-to-first win in the Melodi Media Huxley Stakes. The Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup and Prince of Wales's Stakes are options for the four-year-old, who was beaten just a length and a quarter in…

86 - the number of runners Alan King has saddled at the Cheltenham Festival since his last winner Only four British-based trainers - Nicky Henderson (twice), Sue Smith, Jonjo O'Neill and Will Biddick - hit the target at last year's Cheltenham Festival as no fewer than 23 of the 28 races held at the fixture were won by their Irish counterparts. That…

Our pundit Dave Nevison is searching for a birthday treble on the final day of domestic racing ahead of the three-day Christmas break. Happy birthday, Dave! Enjoy all of Wednesday's action from Ludlow live on Racing TV. Racing tends to go out with a whimper on this day in December and Ludlow has mostly small fields in the handicaps. Hopefully,…

We may just have seen the Cheltenham Champions Bumper winner... Facile Vega is a general 11/10 for next month's race. The fact that he's a son of the brilliant and popular Quevega will only add to the hype, too. 1. Facile Vega 8/11 2. Sandor Clegane 17/2 3. Carnfunnock 28/1 Facile Vega wraps up a fabulous four-timer for Willie Mullins! A superstar…
