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."

My tribute to Frankel, an incredible horse. All rights are reserved to the owners of the audio and video.

2012-05-13 Clairwood - race 8 [02:39]
Shogunnar chalks up an encouraging effort in the Highland Night Cup over 2500m at Clairwood Park to give clear indication that he's a future feature race contender. Unfortunately things didn't go his way racing from the back of a strung out field and with 500m to go he was still hopelessly out of touch with the leaders. To compound the disadvantage, he hung right across the wide Clairwood track before unleashing his finish on the outside rail from the back of the field. From thereon in - low-flying to pass 10 horses in a matter of strides and get up for 4th position. No doubt this performance would've clocked the fastest 400m to finish time of the race and with a more focused effort next time out he should be a serious contender for Derby honours. Congratulations to owners AN Noel, N. Jairajh & Mr & Mrs KJ Chetty, an exciting future awaits with Shogunnar.
