RODNEY MASTERS TODAY'S BIG TALKING POINT
"ON a new test for the emperor of staying hurdlers at Ascot today.
"BIG BUCK'S rivals have right angle in bid to usurp king ......
"WHILE it is no more than a straw for punters to clutch while they mull over whether to take on the likely 1-4 BIG BUCK'S at Ascot, it is a statistical straw to chew on nevertheless. Today is when we will find out if the emperor of staying hurdlers has an Achilles heel.
"His career has embraced 33 races. For the 34th he will step on to a right-handed course for the first time in an attempt to stretch an unbeaten sequence to 14 in a Long Walk Hurdle which has been renamed in honour of LOUGH DERG, who has been recently retired after on more than one occasion being humbled by BIG BUCK'S.
"All thought can be confidently dismissed that connections of the three-time World Hurdle winner have deliberately ducked the right-handed option. He would most certainly have contested the two most recent runnings of this corresponding race at Ascot but the weather intervened necessitating a reschedule to Newbury. Of course, BIG BUCK'S won them, and he beat the David Pipe-trained LOUGH DERG on both occasions.
"All credit to Pipe for consistently putting up the chief opponent to the champion over the years of his domination."On five occasions the front-running LOUGH DERG tried so honourably, only to find the champion come lobbing by between the final two flights.
"Then Pipe's GRANDS CRUS went into the ring last spring.
"Throughout the reign of BIG BUCK'S no rival has finished any closer than the length and three-quarters that separated them in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle. Although by Aintree that margin had grown to five lengths - and GRANDS CRUS was sent chasing.
"Undeterred, Pipe fields another today. DYNASTE, like GRANDS CRUS a grey, impressed many with the sheer power of his dominance in Haydock's Grade 3 fixed brush handicap, a race Pipe had won the previous season with GRANDS CRUS. If there is any sign of that Achilles heel, this may be the day for Pipe.
"We know for definite it will not be Pipe's day in the Ladbroke Hurdle, the £150,000 handicap that his and Nicky Henderson's stable have dominated. Between them they have won six of the seven most recent runnings. Pipe is without a runner today, while Henderson is represented by GIBB RIVER
"However it is the booking of TONY McCOY for the Edward O'Grady-trained, non - JP McManus-owned SAILORS WARN that catches the eye."

RP TOM SEGAL PRICEWISE The Punters Champion had this to say about CANNINGTON BROOK this morning, "Too good at the weights. Has long threatened to deliver more than he has achieved, but he has been highly tried by Colin Tizzard and has been held back by some sloppy jumping errors. However, he has still shown a level of form that makes him look a fairly handicapped horse off his current mark and it is interesting to note that he has had a few sessions with jumping guru YOGI BREISNER. If his jumping improves from going back to school there is every reason to expect improvement and he is one that will relish the ground. On his seasonal reappearance, when probably in need of the run, CANNINGTON BROOK was far from disgraced in what was a decent race at Chepstow and, with that run under his belt, I expect him to go close."

"It all happened very quick," Williams said. "I looked across at the arm and I could see it was facing the wrong direction. I tried to forget about it."
"CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS faces further surgery on his left arm on Monday as a result of the fractures he suffered to both arms in a fall at Cheltenham on Saturday.
"The jump jockey was in theatre for five hours on Saturday night after his mount BESHABAR Cheltenham General Hospital
"The jockey was interviewed from his hospital bed on Channel 4 Racing on Sunday but did not know when he would be fit to return to the saddle.
"His injuries included a snapped humerus and tendon. "They said I was very, very lucky as it was the only tendon in the arm which was immaterial. You don't really need it. They stitched that up anyway, but they couldn't stitch the [left] arm up because it was so swollen so it was all left open. I go back into theatre tomorrow."

JOHN (Mac) McCRIRICK The Punters Champion BLOODHORSE ILLITERATE
Mac brings us key news from the Racing Post and daily papers. Speaking up about
the Bloodhorse Illiterate Whip Review. Mac says what a relief it is that the unsightly spectacle of horses being whipped in races has stopped in the main.
JMC Turfcall "We are all still waiting for the BHA'S Bloodhorse Literate Whip Review to date. It must be very difficult for all licenced jockeys' worldwide to be regulated by bloodhorse illiterate regulators, to say nothing about the horses, and all the young ones just starting out hoping to achieve bloodhorse literacy themselves, to be so badly misunderstood."

JOHN (Greatest Jockey) FRANCOME BLOODHORSE LITERATE
"A lifetimes experience to date, shared with the greatest professional horsemen and the greatest racehorses.” JMC Turfcall A shining light on the bloodhorse literacy front that so desperately needs to be recognised properly by the powers that be and the public world wide. "
John has his Christmas jersey on already; will he be heading off to Waitrose to get some good food in for Christmas, perhaps he will be getting some ideas from Delia Smith.
ALICE (Saucy Minx) PLUNKETT BLOODHORSE LITERATE
What is it like being a woman in such a male dominated sport?
What is it like being a woman in such a male dominated sport?
"I think in racing for show it’s a very male dominated sport but I think that I was lucky that I had such great support from the trainers that I worked for and actually if you have a lot of success of a woman you get an advantage because you stand out from the crowd.
"I think that in eventing its one of the few sports where men and women compete on level terms and women are incredibly successful within the sport. If you look back through the years, the likes of Ginny Elliot and Lucinda Green are real good representations of the sport and at the moment, Mary King who has 2 kids herself and got the silver medal at the European Championships in her mid forties! So women have a great history within the sport and are very successful."
