Taranis For a golden cup Each Way?
Paul Nicholls has a lot going for him when one considers that his two horses, Kauto Star and Denman famous, creating enormous controversy surrounding the upcoming Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival. Even before the 2008 Cheltenham Festival Nicholls seems to be torn between two horses, saying: "Kauto is the ultimate professional and the champion will be hard to beat while Denman is the young pretender and wants to knock Kauto off his perch. Denman is a tank and a workaholic hard. Kauto has more finesse, but they are both very very good. While Kauto has done this season suggests he is as good or better than last year. Nobody knows how good Denman is or could be. "

Well, we all know that Denman fired first in this race, beating his rival, stables and the winner of last year, Kauto Star, but the roles were reversed again in 2009, when Kauto Star beat Denman. This year with two horses in the race again, Denman competing for his second Gold Cup Kauto Star and his third, it appears that Paul Nicholls has had enough on his plate. But no, the end of January saw the champion coach celebrating a great victory, running from outside of the suspects may Kauto Star and Denman, but Taranis. The public Taranis Angela Yeoman has been sidelined for the last two years with a serious leg injury, but his easy victory back in the Chase Grade 2 Argento led him to be cut as short as 20 / 1 the Gold Cup. Taranis Yeoman When he bought his veterinary examination failed on a technicality, but Nicholls told him that it was even better if she bought it, because if it was not, he would win the Gold Cup for someone else.

The nine year old 16 / 1 chance was set up for the race for the first time, Nick Schofield, although Yeoman had hoped that Ruby Walsh would take the reins. Walsh wanted to ride Inchidaly Rock, which sold for Schofield whose riding style obviously adapted Taranis. Taranis powered six lengths clear of Carruthers favorite, and the first reaction Nicholl, when Taranis won was "I'm surprised to be honest with you, I never dreamed he would come back like that. He will go straight to the Gold Cup now.

It may go beyond the realm of probability that could beat his Taranis Stablemates in the Gold Cup, or any race for that matter, but William Hills Nicholls cited only 4-1 first stool of the race three finalists. Schofield held around the Gold Cup in terms of rolling the Denman and Kauto Star are left until closer to the race itself, but it is speculated that Tony McCoy Ruby Walsh will be in their stools. Nicholl what a friend is seen as lacking in the race for Grand National.
