<< < 28th Dec 2025 – Leopardstown 14:30:00 > >> This was a messy, attritional Savills, run at a crawl early and decided by who stayed calm, jumped well enough, and kept finding late. The stopwatch tells you plenty: 11.7s slow. This was not about brilliance — it was about resilience. Race Shape & Ground Truth It…

<< < 28th Dec 2025 – Leopardstown 13:55:00 > >> This was a proper staying Grade 1, but not a spectacular one on the clock — it was about control, timing, and stamina, and the winner made it look straightforward. Race Shape & Context It turned into a selective contest rather than a war. Winner: Teahupoo (5/2)…

<< <27th Dec 2025 – Leopardstown 13:47:00> >> Race Shape & Context You have to separate form from fortune here. Winner: Skylight Hustle (3/1F) RPR 146 | TS 117 Deserved, but context matters.

<< < 26th Dec 2025 – Leopardstown 14:20:00 > >> Race Shape & Context This was a searching 2m1f, not a sharp one. Winner: Romeo Coolio (8/15F) RPR 159 | TS 154 Not pretty, but very effective. This wasn’t a dominant favourite’s performance visually, but the figure matters. RPR 159 is Grade 1-winning novice chase form, achieved…

<< < 26th Dec 2025 – Kempton 13:55:00 > >> Race Shape & Context This was not a muddling Grade 1. It asked real questions. Winner: Sir Gino (4/7F) RPR 163 | TS 150 | OR 163 This was elite. Once Nico asked him to stretch, the others were instantly in damage limitation mode. The six-length winning…

<< < 26th Dec 2025 – Kempton 13:20:00 > >> Race Shape & Context A truly run Grade 1 over 3m on good ground, evidenced by a winning time 4.36s faster than standard. No hiding place here.
