Cheltenham

Michael O'Sullivan and Barry Connell were the main men on day One. Can they do it again or Willie Mullins take over on Day Two of Cheltenham?

It certainly felt like there was a young man smiling down. Henry De Bromhead and connections made a wise decision to dodge Constitution Hill - and their hero delivered a Cheltenham fairytale in her last ever run. It all kicked off in breath-taking fashion for the men of the moment, trainer Barry Connell and his young jockey Michael O'Sullivan. Looking back now, Day One was a certified thriller. He's one of the best we've ever seen but Honeysuckle is one of the toughest we've ever seen. It was one of the best days of racing you could imagine.

Hermes Allen, Harry Cobden Defending champion Energumene will face six rivals, including Alan King’s Edwardstone, as he hopes to repeat his efforts when he shone last year for Willie Mullins. Those two storylines undoubtedly got people excited in what was an electric start to the four-day festival.

Meanwhile, the new-look Carlow football leagues move into the first round of action this weekend with four games in Division 1 down for decision on St. They trail Real Madrid by 5-goals to 2 ahead of their last-16 second leg. Jurgen Klopp says his Liverpool side are ‘complete outsiders’ at the Bernabeu tonight. Willie Mullins is targeting back-to-back wins in the Ballymore Novices Hurdle, with his Impaire Et Passe heading the betting. But trainer John ‘Shark’ Hanlon has confirmed having seen Tuesday’s results, he has every intention of running his stable star, unless the weather forecast proves horribly wrong. Changes to the league setup this year mean there are a minimum of seven games for teams in each division with the top four in each at the end of the round robin stages progressing to a league semi-final.

A racecourse spokesperson said: “Sadly Malinello sustained an injury in the final race of the day. It was a fairytale start for Rachael Blackmore on day one thanks to her victory with Honeysuckle in the Mares' Hurdle. Paul Townend is once again booked in for some big rides today, taking the saddle of both Sir Gerhard and Energumene. Here is a run through of the racecard. It wasn’t the strongest of races. He has been impressive at home and his win at Punchestown was very good in terms of the manner of how he won. One of the most prestigious National Hunt Meetings of the calendar is not to be missed…and we’ve got a bumper week of amazing content and great reader offers. He's a classy horse, and he deserves to take his chance in a race like this.” That was then followed by a [fairytale swansong for Honeysuckle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/cheltenham-festival-honeysuckle-rachael-blackmore-29458121) and Rachael Blackmore in the Mares' Hurdle.

The writing was on the wall along way from home as Energumene jumped his way to the front three out and never came out of fourth gear. The final race on the card went the way of the John Kiely trained runner, A Dream To Share. He travelled strongly through the race and once he hit the front the only danger was the fences ahead of him. Once he got safely over that fence there was little doubt in the result. The second last of the day is the Grand Annual Handicap Chase. A superb round of jumping put his rivals to the sword early in the race and he had just enough reserved in tank to hold on. Galvin went on to finish second with Franco De Port a distant third. Thyme White looked like he was going to play a big part in the finish before coming down two out. The races complexion changed at the second last as Thyme White came down and Dinoblue made a terrible mistake, that being said they would have had a big task on their plate to beat the mare. Take a look at the Energumene travelled strongly throughout and besides a slight scare at the third last, favourite backers had very little to worry about. Racing got underway with the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle.

Willie Mullins and Paul Townend are again proving a winning combination on the second day of the festival…

With his jumping he’s always filling himself up, my God it feels like a long way up the run-in!” He said he was in wicked good nick and fair play, he was absolutely spot on. Jack will be back on these horses when he’s passed fit to return. Elliott said: “I love the cross-country race. [March 15, 2023] Paddy Neville, all the way through, has been a great supporter.

He was also instrumental in setting up the very popular Caman Racing Club which has been a terrific success and they enjoyed a memorable day in Tramore last year with a bumper victory that got a Cheltenham-like reception. JBM loves Cheltenham, particularly the opening two days which he feels are essentially the Olympics of national hunt racing. Results have been punter-friendly this week and Barry-Murphy is looking forward to Gold Cup Day on Friday and in particular the Triumph Hurdle which is one of his favourite races at the festival.

RACING Michael Gallagher talks to Westport businessman Cathal Hughes about having a runner at the Festival this week.

“They’re really decent people and their success speaks for itself. We’re mad into sport and to have a horse in Cheltenham is great. We had other good horses, ‘Westport Lady’ and ‘Frere Tuck’ but freak injuries ended their careers, so we’re taking nothing for granted,” Cathal continued. It’s great to have got there and our wish is he runs a good race and comes back safe and sound. Cheltenham is where it’s at.
