Trainer David Pipe considers options for Great Endeavour

Great Endeavour could feature in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury after his win in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, his trainer David Pipe has said. A return to Cheltenham for the December Gold Cup is also an option for the seven-year-old, who is in top form.

"[His performance] was very good as he lost a plate during the race," said Pipe. "He has come out of it very well.

"The Hennessy is a possible or coming back here [Cheltenham] for the t

Harry Derham rides Brampour to Greatwood Handicap win

Teenager Harry Derham, nephew of trainer Paul Nicholls, rode Brampour to Cheltenham's Greatwood Handicap Hurdle. On another delightfully mild and sunny autumn afternoon at the home of National Hunt racing, there was much congestion coming to the final fence. Derham, 17, sent four-year-old Brampour clear down the closing stretch and won by two-and-a-half lengths, with Olofi second and 28-1 Abergavenny third. Favourite Pateese faded late on and was not plac

Race-Day Drugs Focus of KHRC Meeting

The Race Day Medication Committee is looking into the question of whether therapeutic medications such as Salix should be banned on race day. Salix, an anti-bleeding drug, is used throughout North America, while adjunct bleeder medications are used in several states, including Kentucky.

Much of the Nov. 14 meeting will deal with testimony from various groups, though there will be a public comment period at the end. The meeting will begin at 10 a

Keiran Burke makes a name for himself at Cheltenham

With so many ongoing trials and tribulations, it's forgivable that the British Horseracing Authority is misspelling new trainer Keiran Burke's name in official documentation. "Kieran" Burke is announced as being responsible for Holmwood Legend as the horse and his jockey-turned-trainer return to Cheltenham, the scene of their greatest triumph. That win, at the course's National Hunt Festival in March, was among the fixture's most romantic as the pair beli

Whip rules prevent Tony McCoy from riding to limit

Champion jump jockey Tony McCoy says the sport's new whip rules have forced him to change his riding style. He will serve a five-day ban later this month after falling foul of the rules for the first time at Ffos Las. "If you've incurred a penalty like that then it will double the next time," McCoy. "Jockeys want to ride and test themselves, but you can't really test yourself to the limit anymore - it's too dangerous." If you go one over it should be on

Champion Flat jockey Paul Hanagan may not defend title

Champion Flat jockey Paul Hanagan is considering not trying to defend his title next year to prolong his career. The Malton-based rider won the crown on Saturday at Doncaster for the second consecutive season. Hanagan, 31, told BBC Radio York: "It would be great to get the treble but I think I've proved myself now two years on the run. "I want to be in the game for another 10 to 15 years. The way I'm going I'm not going to last much longer." Hanagan admit

I), which took place Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., connections of the horses that participated in the race won by Drosselmeyer were at the track early Nov. 6.

The Northern Irishman will be suspended on November 20-24 inclusive. "I gave him a flick after the third-last and obviously I forgot about it," McCoy told At The Races.

Breeders` Cup: Smith Gets Classic Redemption on Drosselmeyer

Drosselmeyer came flying down the center of the track to sweep past pacesetter Game On Dude just before the wire, winning the 2011 Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) at odds of 14-1 on Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs, in Louisville, Ky. The 1 1/2-length victory in the $4,545,000 event was a Classic redemption for winning jockey Mike Smith, who narrowly lost last year's race on the same track with Horse of the Year Zenyatta in the only defeat of her career. Smith, who

Johnny Murtagh is Irish champion jockey for fifth time

Johnny Murtagh was crowned champion Flat jockey in Ireland for the fifth time on Sunday with three races of the season remaining at Leopardstown. He partnered 11-4 favourite Takar to victory in the second race on the card and that was enough to stave off the challenge of Pat Smullen.

With Smullen unable to get his head in front in the following two races, Murtagh was confirmed as champion.

Murtagh had won twice at Dundalk on Friday to

Frankie Dettori`s Nahrain beaten at Breeder`' Cup meeting

Paul Hanagan wins second Flat title in a row

Paul Hanagan has successfully defended the Flat jockeys' championship after nearest rival Silvestre de Sousa failed to win all his races at Doncaster. De Sousa had closed to within four wins ahead of the final day, with four rides to Hanagan's seven at the meeting. But, when he failed to win on his first mount - True Bond - in the 1325 GMT Betfred Mobile Nursery, Yorkshireman Hanagan's title was confirmed. Hanagan said: "It's a relief. It feels like a big

BHA proposes Grand National safety improvements

A British Horseracing Authority (BHA) review into the Grand National has published 30 recommendations to improve the safety of the Aintree race.

Indiana Thoroughbred Trainer Handed 10-Year Abuse Suspension

Trainer Graeme McPherson fined £3,000 over non-trier rules

Officials at the embattled British Horseracing Authority (BHA) may well agree that it never rains, it pours. As they work to contain the ongoing controversy over changes to the whip rules, they find themselves with a new and altogether more embarrassing situation with which to deal. Barrister-cum-racehorse trainer Graeme McPherson QC, a member of the Authority's own legal team, fell foul of the so-called 'non-trier' rules over the running of a horse at Che

Ruby Walsh given five-day whip ban at Aintree

He was deemed to have exceeded the eight-strike limit over jumps when winning on 7-1 chance Edgardo Sol.

"If that ride deserves five days this game is done for," said the furious 32-year-old Walsh.

Racing Safety Steward Position Called Valuable

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association Safety and Integrity Alliance considers the presence of a "safety steward" at Southern California a superior best practice, but whether others create such a position depends on financial resources. Luis Juaregui, a retired jockey who became a steward in California in 2006, serves as the safety steward, a position paid for by the California Horse Racing Board, a state agency. California law calls for the hiring o
