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?

Trick Shot Wins at Gosford on February 14th [07:46]
Watch here as Dynamic Syndications own TRICK SHOT wins in a small but competitive field beating home her rivals at Gosford. She has always shown plenty of ability as a horse however now that she is getting up to 1600m and beyond, she is really growing into her skin. Trained by Chris Waller and ridden by Corey Brown, Trick Shot never looked in any real danger as she went on to win by 1 3/4 lengths. She will now look up to step up further in distance and hopefully we see her in the winners circle again soon.
Buckpasser - 1966 Horse Of The Year [11:49]
Buckpasser (1963--1978) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who won nine of his eleven race starts for international record winnings for a two-year-old of $586090. He was leading broodmare sire in 1983, 1984 and 1989. Buckpasser was a bay colt that was bred and owned by Ogden Phipps and foaled at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky. He was by the Horse of the Year winner Tom Fool, and his dam was the stakes-winning mare Busanda, by the Triple Crown winner War Admiral. Busanda's second dam was the Blue Hen broodmare La Troienne (FR). He was a half-brother to several other horses that included the stakes-winners Bupers (won $221688) and Bureaucracy ($156635). Buckpasser was inbred in the fourth generation (4m x 4f) to the French racehorse and an influential sire Teddy. Racing official Dr. Manual Gilman said of him, "Generally, every horse has about a hundred faults of conformation. I would defy anybody to pick a flaw in Buckpasser." Renowned horse painter Richard Stone Reeves said, "Buckpasser was the most perfectly proportioned Thoroughbred I have ever seen." Only two horses, Secretariat and Affirmed, have since been "in a class with Buckpasser". en.wikipedia.org
