RESULTS - Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to produce results, for the meeting. THE TALKING POINT (www.talkingpoint.co.uk) and JUMPING FOR FUN (www.jumpingforfun.co.uk) do however and will post results/reviews of the weekend's racing, though not immediately. The Talking Point also have a premium rate number where you can find out the results on the day (after 6:30pm I believe it is). This is 09068 446060. Hope this helps

Success Stories

ASCOT
Saturday 16th February, 2002
1:30 Amlin Reynoldstown Novices' Steeple Ch. {Gr.2} 
Realistically, course and distance winner Arctic Jack, Father McCarten, High Cotton and Ex-French recruit Jimmy Tennis are the likeliest winners of this Grade 2 event. I have a healthy regard for Arctic Jack, and I'm certain he'll run creditably here, however, I've been monitoring Jimmy Tennis's career and always thought that he could make the grade over here. He was one of the better four-year-old chasers in France in 2001 and despite an absence of 140 days hopefully can make best use of the weight for age allowances he receives here. 
JIMMY TENNIS won - 3/1

2:00 William Hill H’cap Hurdle 
A very competitive handicap hurdle with several of these having strong claims. Farmer Jack, Teaatral, Lord Brex, Aspirant Dancer, Creon, Mr Markham, and Ideal du Bois Beury all have serious claims. Father Jack (who was probably ridden too positively last time out) is sure to go well and probably would have been my selection if Ideal du Bois Beury hadn't been in opposition. I thought he won with a bit in hand under top weight at Leicester last time out and looks very appealing off of the minimum weight.
IDEAL DU BOIS BEURY won - 10/1
