After a sluggish start to the Season Paul Nicholls is now looking like he has turned the corner after he enjoyed a fruitful week last week and is now once again looking like the trainer to watch in the next couple of weeks and months.
After Star Stable Jockey Ruby Walsh fell injuring himself a few weeks ago Deputy Sam Thomas was unable to bring any of Paul Nicholls horses home in 1st place and clearly lacked something which eventually returned in big fashion last Tuesday in the big rearranged race at Irish course Leopardstown.

The John Durkan Memorial Chase is a Grade 1 race that represented a big task for Thomas who was riding one of the fancied horses in Noland who was still a novice himself last season, but you would never have guessed it the way he jumped so confidently around the course and managed to take over the lead when The Listener made a mistake and blundered four out. Many fans in the stands thought the race was won but The Listener managed to rally once again when on the flat, but Thomas was not going to let this one slip through the net and held on to win the race by half a length and send home all the people that stood by him with a broad smile on their faces.
With so many big jump races coming up over the next few weeks and the imminent return of Star jockey Ruby Walsh I would recommend having each way tipples on whatever Sam Thomas rides because he now looks to have got over his early season troubles and could well reap rewards over the season.

Last year’s Grand National winner Comply or Die makes his 2nd performance of the season this week at Cheltenham, his 1st appearance was forgotten pretty quickly as he was pulled up by jockey Timmy Murphy when trailing way at the back of the race and did not really seem too bothered, but with in form trainer David Pipe now saying he is getting back to his best he will be one to watch very carefully over the next few months.
Another one of my favourite jump horses is Monet Garden and on Thursday (Dec 11th) he showed why, having looked beat on a few occasions he showed such courage in not giving in and won a frantic duel with another in form horse Snoopy Loopy in the Peterborough chase at Huntingdon. The 5-1 chance had who had disappointed in his last race in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree was always travelling well on this occasion under relatively unknown jockey Davy Condon and produced some fantastic leaps throughout the extended two-and-a-half-mile contest in which he just got up to win.

The Kentucky Derby is probably the 2nd best known Horse race in the whole world behind the UK’s the Epsom Derby, with so many films made about the big race and the excitement it brings to everybody when it comes around it is hard to imagine another Horse race bringing such joy to people’s faces than the Kentucky Derby.

The Kentucky Derby is a Grade 1 stakes race for the Worlds best three year-old thoroughbred horses, it is held annually in Louisville Kentucky on the first Saturday in May and has all American Horse racing enthusiasts on the edge of their seats from the start to the finish.
The race itself was the brains of Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr who after visiting England and France’s big Horse racing events returned to the States with a good idea on how to stage a big race and in 1875 in front of a 10000 crowd he put them plans into action and the Kentucky Derby was invented.
In the early years of the race it was solely American horses that entered the big race largely due to the long journey foreign trainers would have to put their horses through but in 1917 an English bred colt called Omar Khayyam became the first foreign-bred horse to win the race.
The American public actually call the race the best two minutes in sport and when you consider the size of the crowd that gathers at Kentucky every year to watch the massive race who can argue with them because it is one of them events that sends tingles down your spine when the race get’s underway.

The betting for the 2009 Champion Hurdle has become a lot clearer after a few of the leading contenders were in action recently.
PLAY NOW
The biggest mover of the leading fancies was Nicky Henderson’s Chomba Womba who was cut from around 25/1 into just 16s. The shortening price comes after the mare was successful in the Ascot Hurlde winning with plenty in hand to win by a length from fellow festival hope Crack Away Jack. It was a performance that capped and impressive run of form so far this season and she really looks to be developing into a top, top contender over timber.
As for Crack Away Jack it was a disappointing effort after such a good seasonal debut at Chepstow on his penultimate start. That said the trip of two miles three wouldn’t have suited him that well and he’ll be back at his best over two miles. The good things about last season’s Fred winter winner is that you can now get a juicy 8/1 from him to win the biggy at Cheltenham which seems great value.
Of the recent runs Binocular’s in the Befair Hurdle was by far the most impressive. Another contender for Nicky Henderson this four-year-old was never off the bridle when taking the race by a very easy three and quarter lengths and if anything was still being held at the finish. The worrying thing for his opponents is that he is entitled to improve again from that run and justifies favouritism in the Champion.
