    Topaz Novice Chase (Grade 1) 3m - December 29, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Verdict

    Grade 1 winning hurdler MORNING ASSEMBLY has really taken to fences and could go all the way to the top judging by his defeat of the well regarded Don Cossack in a Grade 2 at Punchestown. There's much more to come and he'll take some beating. Bright New Dawn did very well over hurdles landing a Grade 2 at Thurles in February and made a very pleasing debut over fences at Punchestown when conceding the useful Dogora 12lb. He's a smart prospect and won't go down without a fight. Carlingford Lough wasn't beaten far by Don Cossack at Fairyhouse and the Galway Plate winner will ensure a strong test of stamina while none of the remaining quartet can be discounted in what should prove to be an informative contest.

    Carlingford Lough (IRE) 4-1 (11-10) Tracked leaders, 5th halfway, ridden approaching 3 out, progress to lead after 2 out, challenged last and soon headed, kept on one pace under pressure, 2nd of 6, 1 3/4l behind Don Cossack (11-10) at Fairyhouse 2m 4f nov chs Grade 1 (4yo+) (1).

    Irish Independent Beginners Chase 2m 1f - December 28, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Verdict

    Page Turner was taking on slightly better company when last seen on this course in May and had looked promising in his first two starts over fences. Il Fenomeno has won five times on the Flat and three times over hurdles but his form to date over fences has been disappointing though there's still time to improve. ABBEY LANE landed a very tough Leopardstown handicap over hurdles in January before running twice at the Cheltenham Festival. He's had a break and makes his debut over fences but looks to have been found a winning opportunity. Not For You, a lightly-raced and progressive hurdler, was never in the hunt on his chasing debut at Listowel in September but is likely to do much better with that experience behind him.

    Page Turner (IRE) 10-1 (11-5) Chased leader, led halfway, challenged before straight, ridden and headed before 2 out, no extra in 4th when slight mistake last, kept on same pace, 4th of 15, 13l behind Burn And Turn (11-5) at Limerick 2m 1f beg chs sft in May.

    He Rock's (IRE) 66-1 (10-8) Held up off pace in mid-division, mistake 2nd, no impression from 5 out, tailed off, 7th of 11, well behind Ned Buntline (11-12) at Navan 2m 1f beg chs sft.

    Starkie 10-3 (11-12) Tracked leaders and 4th halfway, ridden and no impression when slight mistake 2 out, 5th and no extra last,, 5th of 16, 26l behind Trifolium (11-12) at Thurles 2m 2f beg chs in Nov.

    Il Fenomeno (ITY) 5-4fav (11-12) Soon close up, on terms before straight, headed before 2 out where slight mistake, soon no impression, kept on same pace,, 5th of 12, 11l behind Sitcom (11-5) at Thurles 2m 2f beg chs gd in Nov.

    Tikka Light (IRE) 8-1 (10-13) Led early, headed 2nd, remained prominent, ridden 4 out, 5th and no impression approaching straight,, 5th of 17, 22l behind Theatre Bird (10-13) at Clonmel 2m 4f mdn hdl.

    Monty Blue (IRE) 25-1 (11-12) Tracked leaders until fell 1st, in a race won by Ballyburke (11-12) at Cork 2m 5f beg chs sft in Nov, 10 ran.

    Soaring High (IRE) 66-1 (11-12) Always towards rear, never a factor, 9th of 12, well behind My Murphy (11-12) at Fairyhouse 3m beg chs sft.

    Tim Duggan Memorial Handicap Chase (0-145) (Grade B) 2m 3f 120y - December 28, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Verdict

    Speckled Wood has had little experience over fences but is nicely handicapped on his hurdles form and is one to be interested in. Make A Track is undoubtedly a smart prospect who should go well though this is a tough event to be making a handicap debut over fences. DICK DUNDEE has been in very good form over hurdles which is why his rating is 30lb higher than over fences. Paul Nolan's charge can take advantage though there are numerous dangers not the least being Immediate Response, twice a winner from just five starts over fences and seemingly on an attractive mark. Lookoutnow appeared to be running into form at Clonmel last time and is another to consider. Shrapnel appears unlikely to take part after his defeat here yesterday.

    Shrapnel (IRE) 7-1 (11-7) Chased leaders and 4th halfway, pushed along and no impression in 5th entering straight, moderate 4th before last and kept on one pace, 4th of 8, 26l behind Felix Yonger (11-4) at Punchestown 2m nov chs Grade 2 (1) in Nov.

    Far Away So Close (IRE) 20-1 (11-5) Rear of mid-division, headway 4 out, 4th next, soon ridden, weakened straight, 8th of 13, 14l behind Sraid Padraig (10-13) at Fairyhouse 2m 1f in Nov.

    Unoccupied 4-1fav (9-13) Settled behind leaders, 7th halfway, pushed along in 6th 6 out, closer in 4th 4 out, ridden and no impression before straight, moderate 3rd 2 out, kept on one pace to 2nd run-in, no chance with winner, 2nd of 17, 10l behind Sword Fish (9-7) at Cork 3m 4f hcp chs 0-150 sft in Nov.

    Make A Track (IRE) 4-7fav (11-6) Soon raced in 2nd, improved to dispute lead before 4 out, jumped right 3 out where left clear, reduced lead 2 out, strongly pressed from before last where joined and slight mistake, not match winner and kept on same pace run-in,, 2nd of 4, 1/2l behind Letter Of Credit (10-9) at Thurles 3m chs gd in Nov.

    Norton trainer fancied to notch hat-trick at Wetherby - December 28, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Norton trainer fancied to notch hat-trick at Wetherby

    11:02am Friday 27th December 2013 in Horse racing By Tom O'Ryan, Racing journalist

    King Of The Wolds, unbeaten in two outings over fences, heads to Wetherby this afternoon with good prospects of completing a hat-trick of wins in the feature race on the card.

    The William Hill Castleford Handicap Chase is the target of the Malcolm Jefferson-trained gelding, who will again have the services of Brian Hughes as he drops back to the minimum distance of two miles.

    A winner over hurdles at this venue last season, King Of The Wolds had always looked like an embryo chaser and has taken to the larger obstacles like the proverbial duck to water this winter.

    He has chalked up victories at Sedgefield and Fakenham and a feature of those performances was his spring-heeled jumping.

    That ability will stand him in excellent stead as he changes trip and, although this is by far and away the toughest test he has faced, King Of The Wolds is napped to come up trumps.

    Indian Castle is expected to take another step up the fencing ladder by completing a hat-trick of wins in the William Hill Novices Chase.

    Trainer Donald McCain has a high opinion of Indian Castle, whose latest success over the major obstacles was achieved on this course. He jumps for fun and is a strong galloper. He may have enough firepower to keep the useful Many Clouds at bay in this three-runner contest.

    In the opening mares William Hill Novices Hurdle, Flementime is selected to have the edge over Tim Easterbys Run Ructions Run.

    Two men make Christmas Day airport breaches in separate incidents in NJ and Arizona - December 28, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Two men at airports over 2,000 miles apart were arrested on Christmas Day after both breached high-security fences and ran onto the tarmacs in separate incidents in Newark, N.J. and Phoenix, Ariz., authorities said.

    In the East Coast incident, a man reportedly dressed as a woman dashed across the tarmac on Christmas morning at Newark Liberty International Airport, according to NBC New York.

    Later that day on the other side of the country, another man, this time showing signs of alcohol or drug use, ran onto the tarmac at Phoenix Sky International Airport and waved his arms at an arriving plane, NBC affiliate KPNX in Phoenix reported.

    Both men were arrested and charged with trespassing.

    Its unclear how Siyah Bryant, 24, of Jersey City ended up on the tarmac at Newarks airport around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday, as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said there is no video of anyone climbing the airports surrounding fences, according to NBC New York.

    Meanwhile, Arizona authorities said Robert Bump, 49, climbed over a barbed wire fence roughly nine feet high at around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, then headed onto the tarmac towards an arriving plane before running away from authorities with his arms outstretched as if he was imitating a plane.

    Phoenix Police told KPNX Bump showed signs that he was under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs.

    Both incidents called into question the security at major airports although authorities said no one was harmed in either location.

    Deb Ostreicher, Deputy Aviation Director at Phoenix Sky International, told KPNX that the airports security far exceeded federal regulations, which require six feet of fencing, with some sections featuring eight to nine feet of fencing, barricades and barbed wire.

    If you are willing to scale a fence of that height of barbed wire knowing that you are going to be immediately caught on the other side, thats not a risk a lot of people are going to want to take, she said.

    ‘Inebriated’ man, cross-dressed man jump airport fences in Newark, Phoenix - December 27, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    STORY HIGHLIGHTS

    (CNN) -- Anyone who climbs a high-security fence at an airport and scurries onto a runway would have to be drunk, on drugs or desperate, one might think.

    Two men -- at two separate airports in Newark, New Jersey, and Phoenix, Arizona -- did just that on Christmas day.

    One showed "indications of possible drug and alcohol impairment." The other was wearing woman's clothing and was not interested in anything at the airport -- instead he was seeking safety from someone who frightened him, police said.

    Both men were charged with trespassing and released.

    The breach at Newark exposed a failure of a $100 million system designed to protect New York City area airports. The Phoenix fence hop was the fifth in a decade at that airport, CNN affiliate KPHO reported.

    Fleeing in woman's clothing

    When Siyah Bryant, 24, allegedly mounted the barrier at Newark Liberty International Airport, it went unnoticed for a day. On Thursday, a review of security camera footage revealed his ascent, according to Port Authority police.

    The cross-dressed suspect then ran across two runways to get to Terminal C, two police sources said. Nobody saw it, but he was literally on the screen at the time.

    The security apparatus in the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) made by Raytheon Co. combines radar with video cameras, motion detectors and "smart" fencing, according to the maker's website.

    totepool Mobile Handicap Chase 2m 3f 110y - December 27, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Verdict

    Tarabela has won twice here but hasn't raced over fences for almost three years and is making her reappearance under a big weight. Endofdiscussion is still creeping up the weights but is another with a decent record at the track over fences, though is still a maiden. Salut Honore won over a longer trip here last month while Mollusk is starting to look well treated but has yet to show much this year. Jim Old's runners here are always worth a second look and TODAREISTODO is no exception. He's 5lb higher than when winning this last year but looked to be back on track at Chepstow last month and is preferred to Fontwell second Malibu Sun, who is also entered at Fontwell, and penalised course and distance winner Bill The Lad.
