Honeysuckle owner: 'Rachael Blackmore is the best thing that has happened to the sport in decades'

3 days ago | racingpost.com | Conor Fennelly |David Jennings

Owner Kenny Alexander has hailed Rachael Blackmore as "the best thing that's happened to the sport in decades" as he reflected on her career and celebrated association with dual Champion Hurdle winner Honeysuckle after she announced her retirement from the saddle on Monday.

Rachael Blackmore announced her retirement on Monday following a glittering career that included victories in the Grand National, Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle and Champion Chase. Below, those closest to her pay tribute to the history-making jockey . . .
'We thought he was a stayer but he's showing loads of speed' - is Delacroix now the number one Derby hope for Aidan O'Brien?

4 days ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

The dash Delacroix showed at Leopardstown on Sunday pleasantly surprised Aidan O'Brien, who will bid to complete a clean sweep of the recent Derby trials when The Lion In Winter tackles the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes at York on Thursday.
'I had to make a grown-up decision' - Jessica Harrington on late Hotazhell withdrawal and next target for star miler

4 days ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

Jessica Harrington called her late scratching of Hotazhell from the Poule d'Essai des Poulains a "tough but grown-up decision" and revealed that Longchamp's loss will be the Curragh's gain as the Group 1-winning juvenile will tackle the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh next week.
'We're very happy with everything he is doing at home' - can Derby contender Delacroix enhance his Epsom claims?

6 days ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

Once upon a time this was the ultimate Derby Trial. For three years on the trot at the beginning of the century the winner of it went on to Epsom glory courtesy of Sinndar (2000), Galileo (2001) and High Chaparral (2002), but it is now 23 years and counting since the double was done. Over to you, Delacroix. Or so the betting would lead you to believe.
'Take the 10-1 now, she will go off half that price in the Oaks' - David Jennings analyses a week of Epsom trials

6 days ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

It has been a Ballydoyle bonanza this week, but the best is yet to come. When asked at Naas which of his umpteen trial winners over the last week has impressed him most, Aidan O'Brien replied: "The week is not over yet!" That implied the Ballydoyle maestro is expecting big things from Delacroix at Leopardstown on Sunday and, of course, there is the eagerly awaited return of The Lion In Winter in the Dante at York next week so we won't know the full picture until Thursday evening.

'He'll improve a lot for the run' - is Diego Velazquez vulnerable on his return to action at Leopardstown?

6 days ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

Diego Velazquez attempts to complete a hat-trick as he makes his reappearance in a race Aidan O'Brien last won way back in 2002 with Bach. That seems something of an anomaly, given the way his Ballydoyle operation dominates most stakes races in Ireland, but with Diego Velazquez he has the perfect opportunity to win it again. The four-year-old is priced between 16-1 and 25-1 for the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot.
'You can see the size and power of him - he's a Coventry horse' - well-touted Aidan O'Brien juvenile 5-2 for Royal Ascot after dazzling debut

6 days ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

So good they named him twice. Albert Einstein, the artist formerly known as Mars, lived up to all the hype to make a stylish winning debut in the 6f maiden and was slashed to 5-2 favourite for the Coventry Stakes by Paddy Power afterwards. This was the same maiden Siskin won back in 2019 before claiming Classic glory in the following year's Irish 2,000 Guineas and it looks as though another star has emerged six years later. It turns out the talk wasn't cheap, after all.
Is Island Hopping the right pick of the Ballydoyle trio for Wayne Lordan in Naas's Oaks Trial?

1 week ago | racingpost.com | David Jennings

You will not be surprised to hear Aidan O'Brien has dominated this particular Oaks trial in the last decade, winning it on six occasions since 2015, and he is triple-handed this time with jockey bookings pointing towards Island Hopping. With Ryan Moore on duty at Lingfield, Wayne Lordan is next in line and his name is located alongside the Gowran maiden winner, who returned to action in a Group 3 contest at Navan a fortnight ago and acquitted herself quite well when third to Wemightakedlongway.
