FESTIVAL PREVIEW NIGHT HILTON HOTEL GLASGOW
Tuesday February 26th 2013

"Wark walks the walk as panellists talk the talk

Ben Hutton in Glasgow

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have the finest Cheltenham Festival preview panel ever assembled!

"So host Nick Luck welcomes the 600 Glasgow Hilton attendees on Tuesday for an evening in support of Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres and St Andrews' Hospice, the first Cheltenham preview of its type in Scotland.

"Nick certainly isn't overstating the panel members either, because among those looking down on the 60 circular tables laid out for a three-course meal are Barry Geraghty, Charlie Swan, Nicky Henderson, Lucinda Russell, Tony McCoy and Arthur Moore.

"They all get the rousing introductions and acknowledgements they deserve and, if Lucinda Russell's festival achievements have yet to match those of her panel contemporaries you wouldn't have guessed it, as the loudest roar of appreciation is sent in the direction of the Scottish trainer.

"The interactive silent auction is thoroughly good fun, with each table hosting an iPad through which to bid and the four big screens detailing how much everything is going for and who to. One wag bids for a round of golf in the name of Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark. Hang on a minute, it is Newsnight Kirsty Wark! The patron of Maggie's reveals that she used to go racing at Windsor every Monday night during the 1980's, and addresses the crowd , concluding:"Glasgow has never seen anything like this, it's going to be an extraordinary night!

"And so it is. With two hours left to go in the silent auction the bids for the 23 lots already amount to £13,500.

"Following dinner, Luck begins proceedings just as all things Cheltenham should, with the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. There aren't many negatives about My Tent Or Yours, other than Henderson pointing out that he needs to prove he's as good on an undulating track as he is on a flat course, adding that "River Maigue isn't incapable"

"Henderson, asked if Simonsig would be in the top five horses he has ever trained, replies in the affirmative, adding "He's got a huge amount of speed, buckets of it".

"Geraghty says of Grandouet in the Champion Hurdle: "His form ties in with Zarkandar but I'd like to think we'd beat him," while Henderson has a sneaky feeling Binocular is coming back to his best. He's also got the same inkling regarding Riverside Theatre, and reports Captain Coonan had worked brilliantly that morning. The Jewson is the probable race for him, although Henderson says Dynaste would scare him if switching from the RSA.

"The RSA Chase. The panel discuss the desperate record of Feltham winners but AP has some soothing words for fans of Dynaste: "He's a completely different horse to Grands Crus, who was very free. Dynste is much more relaxed."

"The Champion Chase is given little air time with nobody willing to oppose Sprinter Sacre, but Oskar Whisky has a few fans on the pane for the World Hurdle, with Henderson saying: "I don't think it was the real Oscar Whisky last year and without Big Buck's we've got to try again."

"NEW RULE FOR NOVICES WOULD BE MAJOR HELP TO PUNTERS

Julian Muscat: "Trainers should be limited to a single entry in one of the open handicaps".

J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Comment An interesting feature from Julian.

Equus Zone

Racehorses in training can never be placed in the dangerous dictate of bloodhorse illiterate government or punters. Horses come first not last.

British Horseracing Government hell bent to sacrifice all bloodhorse literacy if they possibly can. That they have managed over the last 6 decades to reach and hold such a highly dangerous grip on the sport in Britain as is now, severely limits horseracing standards not only here but around the world. Forcing it into becoming an unsound sport.

Racehorses are finely tuned athlete's as are the bloodhorse literate handler riders, jockey's horsemen that partner them.

Mark Storey: "CHAPPLE=HYAM KEEPS HYDROGEN AS HE FACES PROBE

"HYDROGEN, the most expensive yearling bought at auction worldwide last year, will remain with multiple Classic-winning trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam while hw fights charges of misleading a British Horseracing Authority Government investigation and refusing to supply complete telephone records.

"David Redvers, racing and bloodstock manager to HYDROGEN owner Shiekh Fahad, moved to support Chapple-Hyam before a hearing at BHA headquarters in London, where the disciplinary panel will ponder whether he has breached rules that carry maximum penalties of a three- year disqualification.

" Chapple-Hyam who two months ago received Qatar Racing's 2.5 million guineas son of GALILEO, a half brother to his 2007 Derby winner Authorised, called Redvers to warn him about the BHS's charges.

Redvers said: "I've spoken to Pete, who let me know the news was breaking. He's explained to me his version of events and, as long as something else does not come to light, we see no reason to change the training programme for HYDROGEN or any of our other horses with him. We have complete confidence in Pete."
