Nicky Henderson looks to build on success at Cheltenham Festival 2013 [01:38]
He's the most successful trainer in the history of the Cheltenham Festival, with seven winners last year and he's looking to build on that success. This year Bobs Worth and Long Run line up for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup, while there's another mouthwatering prospect in the Arkle as Simonsig takes on Overturn. And never forget Sprinter Sacre, hot favourite for the Queen Mother Chase. He's had 46 Cheltenham winners so far, can he repeat the magnificent 7 of 2012?

Stumbles & Recoveries at the Sligo Races [02:48]
One horse had a bad stumble in the third race at the Sligo Races on 15 July 2012 and another horse fell in the fourth race. Both accidents happened the third time the horses came around the one-mile track and at the same hurdle. In the third race, the jockey did a magnificent ride and the horse found her footing. In the fourth race, there was nothing the jockey could do to help the horse. Both horse and rider tumbled down the track and both got to their feet. The horse cantered to finish the race, while the jockey took a few minutes to get his wind back. These were good outcomes for both accidents.
