“i know the other two were past champions , ” nicholls said of sprinter sacre and sire de grugy , “but i couldn’t see why they were ahead of us in the betting , it must have been on sentiment . dodging bullets was the progressive young horse and it’s them that usually come out on top .

the future , though , belongs to dodging bullets and his rider , who is a strong candidate to be the first champion jockey of the post - tony mccoy era next season . twiston - davies’s rapid rise to the top of his profession owes much to the decision of paul nicholls , national hunt’s champion trainer in eight of the last nine seasons , to appoint him as stable jockey at the start of this campaign . dodging bullets had already recorded a grade one win for trainer and rider at sandown back in december , and victory in one of the festival’s feature events underlined the success of a partnership that should only grow stronger with time .

it had seemed a straight forward case of either - or ; either sprinter sacre or sire de grugy , but the two former betway queen mother chase champions were consigned to yesteryear’s heros and mere red herrings as the season ' s form two - miler , dodging bullets , galloped home to give jockey sam twiston - davies his most important winner since joining paul nicholls at the start of the season .

whilst dodging bullets was the nicholls representative in last year’s triumph hurdle at the cheltenham festival , this year he could well saddle far west who was a very impressive seven lengths winner of the grade two triumph hurdle trial at this meeting on saturday . the win gave the three year old his second win of the season and a quotes as short as 8 / 1 favourite for the 2013 triumph hurdle .

as the field in the sodexo clarence house stakes turned for home at ascot on saturday , there was a spontaneous surge of excitement within the crowd as the expectation of a winning return by the much - missed sprinter sacre seemed about to be completed . in the event barry geraghty’s skilful handling of nicky henderson’s star was foiled by the equally subtle noel fehily on the hitherto under - heralded dodging bullets .

sprinter sacre missed a planned run in the tingle creek trophy but performed well in a racecourse gallop at newbury in late december . after an absence of over a year , the gelding returned in the clarence house chase at ascot on 17 january . after racing in fourth place for most of the way , he moved up to take the lead in the straight but was overtaken approaching the final fence and finished second to dodging bullets . at the cheltenham festival 11 march 2015 , sprinter sacre started favourite for the queen mother champion chase but faded by the last two jumps and pulled up in a race won by dodging bullets . the gelding was treated for a back problem following the race and returned to contest the celebration chase at sandown on 25 april , finishing second of the seven runners behind special tiara .

was another nice winner on day one of the meeting , landing the grade two , sharp novices hurdle , which made it two from two over course and distance this season for the juvenile but due to the reluctance of any of the jockeys to take up the running , it wasn ' t a truly run race . nonetheless , dodging bullets seems to be a much better horse than the current 14 / 1 on offer about him winning the

as i mentioned , henderson has had 12 chase wins . i can quickly point out that nicholls has had at least 13 individual winners of a major prize , either a big handicap , or graded event . the group are in prize order silvianico conti , saturday’s much - improved winner dodging bullets , caid du berlais , sam winner , vibrato valtat , ptit zig , virak , hawkes point , unioniste , mr mole , southfield theatre , irish saint and al ferof .

the last two winners of the race were expected to fight out the finish in the queen mother champion chase but their ageing bodies proved to be no match for youth , both in the saddle and underneath . dodging bullets , who was bred to win a derby by the flat jockey frankie dettori , gave sam twiston - davies the biggest win of a career that is still mostly in front of him . for sprinter sacre , however , the glory days are surely gone beyond recall .

on 11 march , sire de grugy attempted to repeat his 2014 success in the queen mother champion stakes in which he was opposed by two previous winners of the race in sprinter sacre and sizing europe . after being restrained in the early stages he began to make progress four fences from the finish but was never able to reach the leaders and finished fourth behind dodging bullets , somersby and special tiara . he was moved up in distance for the melling chase at aintree but fell at the sixth fence .

sprinter sacre produced one of the finest individual performances that the festival has ever seen when victorious in the champion chase two seasons ago . he was sent off as favourite on a wave of sentimental money by fans who were desperate to see one more tour de force , but they did not even see him cross the line . instead , barry geraghty pulled him up before the last , as dodging bullets and the outsiders somersby and special tiara set off up the run - in with the race between them .

on 23 april , sprinter sacre ended his season in the celebration chase at sandown park on 23 april . he started the 11 / 10 favourite ahead of un de sceaux with the best fancied of the other four runners being sire de grugy and dodging bullets . nico de boinville settled sprinter sacre behind the leaders , un de sceaux and sire de grugy , before making rapid progress to take the lead at the third last . he drew away from his rivals over the last two fences and won by fifteen lengths from un de sceaux .

with saphir du rheu , rebel rebellion , silviniaco conti , dodging bullets , vibrato valtat , and sound investment showing great promise for the future , paul nicholls can perhaps relax a bit , at least until november of this year , when the ‘jumps season proper’ kicks off once again . he’s patient but eager to see what his new crew can do , and he’s already thinking ahead and looking at the programme book to place each candidate in the right race for the upcoming season . when paul nicholls says , “it’s all about looking to the future , ” he means it .

last year’s champion chaser dodging bullets has endured a brief and disappointing season . the paul nicholls trained 8 year old never stopped improving last season and after running two lengths third to uxizandre in the shloer chase in november 2014 , he swept all before him . he defeated somersby by 2 ½ lengths in the grade 1 tingle creek chase in december 2014 and followed up with a 3 lengths defeat of sprinter sacre in the grade 1 clarence house chase at ascot in january of last year . even then there were plenty of people willing to oppose dodging bullets , but he confounded them all with a terrific performance to beat somersby by 1 ¼ lengths in the grade 1 queen mother champion chase at cheltenham last march . a splint disrupted his season and he did not return to action until running in the grade 2 game spirit chase at newbury in mid - february , finishing 10 lengths second of 4 to top gamble in tiring ground . he then made a bid to defend his cheltenham crown but was beaten a long way out , eventually coming home 27 lengths 7 th of 10 to sprinter sacre . he has had time to recover since then and encounters better ground here and may well prove fresher than several of these rivals .

a bullet is a projectile propelled by a firearm , sling , slingshot , or air gun . bullets do not normally contain explosives , but damage the intended target by impact and penetration . the word " bullet " is sometimes colloquially used to refer to ammunition in general , or to a cartridge , which is a combination of the bullet , case / shell , powder , and primer . this use of ' bullet ' , when ' cartridge ' is intended , leads to confusion when the components of a cartridge are discussed or intended .

on 16 march 2016 , sprinter sacre contested his third queen mother champion chase at the cheltenham festival . he started the 5 / 1 second favourite behind the irish - trained un de sceaux , whilst the other eight runners included dodging bullets , sire de grugy , felix yonger ( punchestown champion chase ) , special tiara , and somersby . special tiara and un de sceaux set a very fast pace with nico de boinville settling sprinter sacre behind the leaders . despite a mistake three fences from home , sprinter sacre made rapid progress to take the lead approaching the second last and quickly went several lengths clear . he stayed on up the run - in to win the race by three and a half lengths and a nose from un de sceaux and special tiara . [ 30 ] commenting on the ten - year - old ' s return to form , henderson said , " he’s just been so feisty and aggressive all season . . . i’ve been looking at him every night for the last three weeks and i just knew that it was still there , and his whole body said that it was . it’s just talent , isn’t it ? " [ 31 ]

“he would have liked the ground a bit slower and i thought sam gave him a fantastic ride . sam is so much more confident this season , it all just takes a bit of bedding in but he’s been awesome this year . he rides really well and we’re all very fond of him .

“the horse won’t run again this season and i expect we’ll be dreaming all summer . the whole aim will be to come here again in a year’s time . ”

dettori , who sent his mare nova cyngi to be covered by the top flat sire dubawi in the hope of producing a classic winner , echoed the approval of twiston - davies’s performance in the saddle .

“sam gave him a fantastic ride , he jumped like a stag and was gutsy all the way to the line , ” dettori said . “he was bred to win the derby but this is second best . it’s the equivalent of the 100m final at the olympics and what a horse . he didn’t make very much [ when sold ] as a yearling because his legs were pointing in the wrong direction , although they have got better with time .

“i watched it with the owners and my legs were shaking a little bit walking down the steps because i was so excited . it’s completely different to have those feelings when i don’t have anything to do with it . sam was tactically very astute . riding is all about confidence and for a young man , you’ve got to say that sam is top class . ”

this was the biggest success of twiston - davies’s career to date and will remain so until next season , at least unless he wins friday’s gold cup or the grand national at aintree next month .

“i’ve always said my dad [ nigel ] is the best trainer i’ve ridden for , but paul nicholls is some man , ” twiston - davies said . “it is a massive win and hopefully means i keep hold of the job for years to come .

“big winners make up for the days when things don’t go so well , we didn’t have a great day yesterday but paul said : ‘i’ll leave it [ how to ride the race ] to you , so get on with it . ’ it eases the pressure and hopefully i’ll ride better and better as the week goes on . ”

after willie mullins’s grade one four - timer on tuesday , nicholls moved into second place among the trainers this week with a treble on the day , as aux ptits soins took the coral cup handicap hurdle with twiston - davies in the saddle , and then qualando beat stablemate bouvreuil in the fred winter handicap hurdle . nicholls will saddle silviniaco conti , the favourite , in the gold cup , a race that mullins , who trains three of the 18 declared runners , has yet to win .

the 9 - 2 chance won by one and a quarter lengths from somersby ( 33 - 1 ) with special tiara ( 18 - 1 ) third .

last year ' s winner sire de grugy finished fourth while the 2013 victor sprinter sacre - in his second run in 15 months after a heart scare - was pulled up .

victory gave twiston - davies and eight - time champion trainer nicholls a double after aux ptit soins won the previous race , the coral cup .

nicholls said : " i know the other two were past champions but i couldn ' t see why they were behind us in the betting , it must have been on sentiment . "

dettori praised the winning jockey for a " fantastic " ride and said the horse was " gutsy " .

" however successful during the rest of the year , it ' s at the major events , like cheltenham , where reputation - sealing wins are to be found .

" ground conditions had , as trainer gary moore feared , probably dried up too much for sire de grugy , but he ' ll be back , though whether the same applies to sprinter sacre is surely a moot point . "

" he was bred to win the derby , but this is second best . it ' s the equivalent of the 100m final at the olympics and what a horse , " said the italian .

and nicholls completed a treble when 25 - 1 chance qualando , ridden by nick scholfield , won the day ' s sixth race - the fred winter handicap hurdle .

the champion chase , in which champagne fever was a morning withdrawal , was billed as a battle of the champions .

but sire de grugy , who has had an interrupted season , and sprinter sacre struggled to keep pace as the two - mile contest developed .

three - time champion flat jockey dettori , famous for his magnificent seven winning spree at ascot in 1996 , has played down his role in breeding the seven - year - old , but revelled in this triumph at the home of jump racing .

it was a fifth champion chase victory for nicholls , who also scored with call equiname ( 1999 ) , azertyuiop ( 2004 ) and master minded ( 2007 and 2008 ) .

trainer willie mullins , who scored a historic four - timer on the opening day , clocked up a fifth win of the meeting with don poli in the rsa chase .

jockey bryan cooper triumphed on the 13 - 8 favourite , a potential gold cup candidate next year , 12 months after breaking his leg at the same fixture .

one bookmaker paid out on mullins being the top trainer with just a third - 9 of 27 - of the races having been run .

the opening neptune hurdle went to 9 - 1 chance windsor park , ridden by davy russell for dermot weld .

retiring champion jockey ap mccoy , without a win so far , was second on parlour games .

russell was scoring in the same purple and yellow colours of owner dr ronan lambe , for whom he won last year ' s cheltenham gold cup on lord windermere .

photographer patrick mccann suffered a broken leg when a horse was carried out , went through the rail and caught him during the cross country chase .

mccann , who works for the racing post , could have been more badly hurt but took evasive action as the unexpected drama unfolded .

nina carberry , on quantitativeeasing , was forced to the left by another horse in an incident which went viral on social media .

russell completed a wednesday double as he emerged the winner on 16 - 1 chance rivage d ' or , trained by tony martin .

wednesday was ladies day at the festival and the duchess of cornwall ( right , with daughter laura lopes and katie price , left ) was among the high - profile patrons .

" as long as he stays in ireland , i ' m dead happy , " - paul nicholls , after a treble himself , on the success of fellow trainer willie mullins , who has five victories .

" it is a massive win and hopefully means i can keep hold of my job for years to come . " - winning rider sam twiston - davies jokes about his role with nicholls . he was appointed first jockey less than 11 months ago .

jockey tom scudamore overcame a tardy start by moon racer , trained by david pipe , to lead a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 for horses trained in great britain in the concluding champion bumper .

afterwards , former trainer michael dickinson - who made history by saddling the first five home led by bregawn in the 1983 cheltenham gold cup - was among those to congratulate him .

" i emailed tom after he took the wrong course at cartmel earlier in the season and was banned , " dickinson told bbc sport .

" i said tommy stack did the same thing years ago , and there was no reason why tom wouldn ' t go on to be champion jockey . "

victory made it six wins for great britain against the eight of ireland , with 13 races to come .

trainer paul nicholls bids to build on his wednesday treble when he saddles two leading contenders in thursday ' s world hurdle .

saphir du rheu and zarkandar will try to fill the void left by big buck ' s when they run in the three - mile contest ( 15 : 20 gmt ) .

nicholls won the race four times with his great stayer , who is now retired , but hopes his new generation can shine .

meanwhile , the gordon elliott - trained don cossack is favourite for the ryanair chase at 14 : 40 .

saphir du rheu carries the same red , black and white silks of owner andy stewart ' s family as big buck ' s and will be ridden by stable jockey sam twiston - davies .

" sam thinks he may win a gold cup with him one day . whereas big buck ' s didn ' t jump a fence , this lad will jump in the future some time as he is a big , scopey horse , " said the trainer .

rider noel fehily believes zarkandar has a better chance than when he finished fourth in the race won by more of that last year .

" he ' s in much better form this year and hopefully he has a great chance . "

indeed as the race unfolded between the 9 - 2 shot , the evergreen somersby and the front - running special tiara off the last bend , the previous two winners of the race , both beset with problems since their finest hour , were nowhere to be seen . a lacklustre sprinter sacre was about to be pulled up while sire de grugy , eventually fourth , was staying on having never really been at the races on the good ground .

“he should have been favourite on form but i understand sometimes with those old champions the heart rules the head , ” he said . “we had the same with big buck’s , but they don’t often come back as good . i thought i’d missed a trick when i saw the other two vying for favouritism .

“last spring he had a few little issues with his breathing and gastric ulcers . i think it is why he wasn’t finishing his races . we’ve sorted them out , he has run three times in a tongue tie and won three , i’ve learned how to train him and he’s grown up mentally .

“i thought he was a good thing first time out this season but he either blew up or wasn’t as good as i thought , so we took him home and got stuck into him . i would never have been able to train him like that before because he’d have run up light and been far too buzzy . now i can really stick the work into him . ”

for twiston - davies , already a front - runner in the race to be the next champion after ap mccoy’s immiment departure , it was a huge step forward and a coming of age in his partnership with nicholls . “someone said he would be my first jockey until i retire , ” joked nicholls . “i don’t know if he’ll last that long ! ”

“it’s a massive win and hopefully means i keep hold of the job for years to come , ” said twiston - davies . “big winners make up for the days when things don’t go so well . we didn’t have a great day yesterday . he is some trainer . if i ' d said this horse would win three grade ones this time last year you would have said i was a moon man . ”

dettori , who watched the race as a guest of the winning owners headed by sir martin broughton before driving on to kempton to ride on wednesday night , said : “he had me on the edge of my seat for the last three fences . it’s a pity he couldn’t win the derby , but i’ve bred the best jumping horse in the world in 2015 . sam gave him some ride , he jumped like a stag . ”

broughton , a former chairman of british airways and , closer to home , the british horseracing authority , was up in the clouds . “in business you don’t have instant moments , ” he explained . “things go right or wrong over a long period . this has been a while coming , but in business you don’t get moments like this . i’m ecstatic and i was very happy being under the radar as everyone was talking about sprinter versus sire . ”

nicholls , who has now won five champion chases , said the next engagement for the new champion would be a grass field and that he would not run again this season .

mordellistena tosta

mordellistena tosta <EOT> a mordellistena tosta in anne arundel co . , maryland ( 6 / 7 / 2015 ) . determined by v . belov / bugguide . photo by timothy reichard . ( mbp list )

moved from mordellistena tosta . id ' d from specimen , now a photo - voucher . thanks john . so this guy has a 2 - 3 - 2 ridge formula , with the upper tibial ridge extending across the surface . this final bit eliminates m . tosta . it keys then to liljeblad ' s couplet 36 . the closest two seem to be m . testacea blatchley and m . wickhami liljeblad .

larva : mordellistena is the only genus in this family which larvae have characteristic tergal processes and paired urogomphi ( comment by artjom zaitsev ) .

this looks to be another m . tosta , although the darkening at the base of pronotum is disturbing . let ' s move it there and at least we ' ll know what to compare it with .
