HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF THE ANALYST'S READERS...
And what a way to start 2009... with a fantastic win for the The Analyst's favourite horse, Lough Derg! The mighty "Derg" battled back to beat the gutsy No Refuge and the classy Francheok in a thrilling finish to the Steel Plate And Sections Hurdle at Cheltenham...
Pipe, who admitted a sense of relief at landing a decent prize following a quiet spell, observed: "We've had this horse from the very beginning and tomorrow morning he'll be as fresh as a daisy. "He's an amazing horse, as you've seen for yourselves. He's not the most fluent of movers and wouldn't win a beauty contest, but he has a big heart and is incredibly gutsy. He has lots of hard races but keeps coming back for more."
Pipe will now consider the Cleeve Hurdle as well as a handicap over two miles and three furlongs at Ascot that he won last season.
Congratulations to owner William Frewen, The Analyst wishes you a very successful 2009.
The Analyst
