Dinoblue was a straightforward winner when defending her title in the BBA Ireland Limited Opera Hat Mares Chase at Naas. The Willie Mullins-trained chestnut was one of three entries in the race for owner JP McManus, with only Gavin Cromwell’s 80-1 outsider Je T’Ai Porte not carrying the green and gold silks. Dinoblue, highly consistent in these mares’ events, was ridden as usual Mark Walsh and the 1-8 favourite provided him with a stress-free victory as she came home 11 lengths ahead of Bioluminesence. Frank Berry, racing manager to McManus, said: “She’s a great bit of stuff, she turns up every day. You could set your clock by her. “She jumped great and she handles that ground very well. You couldn’t ask for better. “It was a nice prep, a nice bit of work and you couldn’t be happier. Mark was delighted with her.” When asked about her heading back to Cheltenham, Berry added: “That’ll be Willie’s plan, I’m sure.” Paddy Power left her unchanged at 7-4 for the Mares’ Chase which she won last season. #horseracing Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

Steel Ally is three from three over fences after a wide-margin win in the Bet Smarter With Oddschecker Kingmaker Novices’ Chase at Warwick. Sam Thomas’ eight-year-old was the 10-11 favourite in a small field of three, with Ben Pauling’s Mambonumberfive considered his key rival at 11-8. It was the outsider, Dan Skelton’s Mirabad, who made the running at a good pace and that took its toll as Mambonumberfive lost ground over his fences. Steel Ally fared best of all, taking over at the head of affairs turning into the straight to canter home 10 lengths ahead under Dylan Johnston. Coral cut the winner to 10-1 from 20s for the Arkle at Cheltenham. “He was very good. I’m really pleased to keep him unbeaten over fences and though there were only three runners, I thought it was a pretty true-run race,” said Thomas. “I was thrilled to see him put a bit of distance between him and the horses behind him. “He had a couple of blips over hurdles but on the whole he’s been very progressive for us and he’s certainly showed that he likes jumping fences.” Of future plans for the horse, Thomas added: “The Arkle is most certainly an option, he has the entry and it’s to be discussed with the boss, Mr (Dai) Walters (owner). “We’ve got a few weeks to make a decision and I couldn’t say either way today, but he’s a lovely horse and a lovely horse for the future.” Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

A report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board has concluded the rider is culpable of ‘poor horsemanship’ but has dismissed any foul play. Read less
