Sporting Life picks Nicky as one of five in form trainers
Using the Timeform stats, John Ingles picked out five trainers whose strings are in good form going into the big meetings after Christmas, and this before Nicky’s two wins at Haydock over the weekend.
Of Nicky he says:
Nicky Richards’ horses have certainly been in better shape than the trainer himself in recent weeks, though happily Richards is now recovering at home after a lengthy spell in hospital following a fall on his gallops last month which left him with multiple fractures. Of the yard’s 23 runners in the last four weeks, four have won, all ridden by Danny McMenamin, while another six have finished runner-up. The highlight of this period was the victory of smart chaser Nells Son in a handicap at Kelso worth nearly £40,000 to the winner, making it two out of two for the season.
The Kalooki Kid, a winner on his second start over fences at Doncaster, and President Scottie, who shaped well when second on his chasing debut at Haydock, are only six-year-olds and both look potentially useful over fences. Among numerous entries for the stable on Boxing Day are Senor Lombardy who should appreciate the step up in trip in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen and Nab Wood who was a rapidly-improving hurdler when last seen early in the year and could return in a handicap on Wetherby’s card.
