This son of Pastoral Pursuits is a good-looking colt who started his career at Ascot. He may have been a 50/1 shot but this home bred – an early foal – showed ability against a decent field. He was keen in the early stages but still ran on at the line. There will be improvement to come from this strong colt who will be primed for his next start. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t win this season.

The stable have been a little slow with their two-year-olds this season. However, this February foal was pretty fancied in the betting on debut at Newmarket and made a promising start behind a fair horse in Green Door. This bay colt will come on for the run and will take some stopping next start.

Tony McCoy admits he enjoys racing too much and will not even consider retirement while he is still so in love with the sport. This comes as music to the ears of Unibet racing betting fans!

The 39-year-old became the first jump jockey to ride 4,000 winners aboard Mountain Tunes at Towcester earlier this month.

McCoy won his first race back in 1992 and has gone on to win more than £35million in prize money. He has had 264 winners at Newton Abbot and 29 at Cheltenham.

However, despite all the success and money he has earned over the years, McCoy’s passion for racing has never wavered.

The Northern Irishman admitted he is finally satisfied with what he has achieved, although that does not mean he will be riding off into the sunset any time soon.

“I could never have ridden 4,000 winners without loving my job and if I ever get to the point where I’m not loving it, I’ll stop. But, at this rate, someone might have to tell me when to stop,” he told the Telegraph.

“I hope I’ll be sensible enough to quit on my own terms, but my biggest problem is that I enjoy it too much. If I was ever granted one wish, it would be to come back as another person and be able to start this all over again.”

Despite becoming the most successful jumps jockey in history, McCoy insisted he would continue to work to his maximum.

“There is no place for arrogance or complacency in racing because you are up there one minute and on your backside the next,” he added.

Martin Pipe described his former stable jockey as “absolutely incredible” and said he was “a brilliant role model”.

“He’s so determined to succeed. He’s unparalleled in the history of racing,” Pipe added.

When Mon Parrain made his British debut a couple of years ago, scoring by 22 lengths in a Sandown handicap chase, the sky seemed the limit for the ex-French chaser. He’s had his ups and down since then but could be a horse to keep on the right side this season despite pulling up on his first start of the campaign.

The Paul Nicholls-trained seven-year-old followed his stunning entry onto the British stage by running a tremendous second of the 30-runner field behind race specialist Always Waining in the listed John Smith’s Topham Chase over the awesome Grand national fences, jumping like an old hand and clearly signalling that he could well be a future winner of the Grand National.

As is so often the case in the racing game though, things haven’t gone quite to plan. The gelded son of Arc hero Trempolino was restricted to just three starts last term due to niggling injuries. On each occasion he showed that he remains a horse of serious potential, finishing a creditable seventh to Great Endeavour on his seasonal bow in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham, then third to Shakalakaboomboom at the same course a month later. A beaten favourite at Newbury in March when fourth to the decent Ikorodu Road, Mon Parrain wasn’t seen again after that.

Returning to the fray at Wetherby recently in a listed handicap chase, Nicholls’ charge was easy to back and duly ran a lifeless race being well behind when pulled up four from home. Mon Parrain is certainly better than he showed at the West Yorkshire track and may well have been in need of the outing. If he returns to form he could well be the sort to have on your side in the ante-post book for the Crabbies Grand National at Aintree in April, a race for which the still exciting prospect is currently quoted at odds of up to 50/1.

This race is a Grade 1 National Hurdle Race, and the horses that
participate in this competition are at least four years of age but often
older. The race is 2 miles and 4 furlongs which means the horses must
have stamina to finish. It was first begun in 1998 as a condition race,
but seven years later was changed to be a Grade 1 race. Given the recent
change in its status it has also become a popular event on which to
place sports bets.

Many online casinos offering betting on UK horse racing events. The
Navan Novice Hurdle would be included in most of the well-known site’s
offerings. Betting on horse races has become an activity of both fans
and non-fans of the sport. There are various types of wagers than can be
placed over the sport.

One sports event that bettors may opt to place over the Navan Novice
Hurdle is the win. This is one of the most common sports bets over horse
racing and the simplest to understand. This bet makes a prediction as to
which horse will win the race. Another bet that may be placed is a place
bet. This type of sports bet will predict which horse will finish in a
stated position. The number of places is of course determined by the
amount of horses in the race.

Each way bets may also be placed over the Navan Novice Hurdle. This can
be made as one single bet or split into two bets. Half of the bet is
predicting where a horse will place. The second part is a bet on which
horse will win the competition. The odds for this bet will vary so it’s
important to check out the sport book found at the online casinos and
bookmakers.
