Anton Chigurh - 1st Haydock 29/09/2012 (Panarea Racing) [08:33]
Anton Chigurh wins his third race of the season a Class 2 Haydock handicap at Haydock. Timeform view - ANTON CHIGURH progressed again to defy an 8 lb rise, and is worth keeping on side in this mood, especially as he did well to get up here; mid-field, not clear run and forced to switch 3f out, found plenty to overhaul the front runner inside the last; sure to be of interest again, and given he sees out 1m on testing ground so well, probably worth a try at 1 1/4m at some point.

Bluff WIN 12.26.12 FairGrounds [05:18]
The Bluff Man WON the 8th race at Fair Grounds on December 26th! What a nice Christmas present. Al pretty much called it. He entered Bluff MTO thinking that the race would come off the turf and it did. He thought the distance would not be a factor against this group many horses trying the turf as a last resort and it wasn't. He said the 2 week layoff would probably be just right as it would take the edge of and it did! The outside post actually did us a favor because Jumpin Jack Flash had to settle in behind the leaders and relax in third, then second going down the back stretch. Bluff was on the bit the whole way down the backside tugging the jock all the way to the head of the lane. When the time was right he launched his offensive and never looked back. Congratulations to all on our 2nd Victory at the 2nd best track in the US of A!

Long Run Wins William Hill King George VI Chase 26.12.2012 [07:48]
Horse Racing - Long Run wins second King George VI Chase. Long Run held off a spirited challenge from Captain Chris to win the King George VI Chase for the second time in two years at Kempton. The Nicky Henderson trained horse looked set for a comfortable victory, having taken the lead a mile from the finishing post. But a late charge from Richard Johnson aboard Captain Chris saw him jump into the lead at the last hurdle only for Sam Waley-Cohen to produce as last ditch effort to over-haul his rival with two strides to go. "He was so brave," said Waley-Cohen, who also rode Long Run to victory in the delayed 2010 edition of the race and finished runner-up in 2011. "We wanted to take the sting out of everything else and I asked so much, but he was so brave. "This is his fifth year of competing at this level and he means an enormous amount to us. "That was racing at its best to my mind, that's why we do it. I can't put it into words -- it's an honour and a pleasure." Grand Crus finished third almost a mile back. "It was a brave call to go on when he did and it was the right call to make," Henderson said. "It was a battle out there today and not the best ground for any of them. He's young but has been doing everything right. "You would have to say last year was a disappointment but he's been running good races all the time."

Pro. Rodeo: First Points To INFR [00:48]
First rodeo of the session to head to the INFR, im not sure about this year going to the INFR, but next year I will! The ground was SUPER deep, and he's such a huge horse that we were basically swimming in the sand during our run. I came in 5th out of 20girls, my time was 17.39 the top 10 girls got points.
