Cooldine Gold Cup Chances
Very little appears to be able to stop Paul Nicholls from winning this year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday March 19th and certainly with both Denman and Kauto Star taking centre stage, the other runners appear to have faded into the background in what has become this year’s most anticipated horse racing show down.

Odds on favourite Dunguib is still going to meet some very strong opposition in the Spinal Research Supreme Novices’ Hurdle which is due to take place at 1.30 on Tuesday 16th February at the Cheltenham Festival.

Spinal Research New Sponsor
For those of you who follow your horse racing you may remember the story of Paul Stewart, son of the well-known businessman and owner Andy Stewart, who suffered a severe spinal injury in a snowboarding accident in December 2008.
Miraculously, despite the fact that he was paralysed from the waist down and initially told by doctors …
Odds Drop for Queen Mother
In my humble opinion the VC Chase at the weekend didn’t quite live up to expectations and almost from the get go there was no competition for Twist Magic who romped home for the Nicholls yard to take first place. In doing so the bookies have gone wild with anticipation for the Cheltenham Festival Queen …
