1st (5) (9/4 +59%) Eagle Fang |
9/4(+59%) | (5) Eagle Fang 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 10¾ lengths tenth of 12 to Kala Conti in Leopardstown Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 66/1) 46 days ago. Considered. Towards the rear when 66-1 for Grade 2 event at Leopardstown, solid form overall. |

2nd (4) (11/2 +39%) Bright Legend |
11/2(+39%) | (4) Bright Legend 11/2, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 14/1, fifth of 18 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. Has shown some potential on his first two starts over hurdles but will need to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +21%) Pacini |
11/4(+21%) | (3) Pacini 11/4, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 5/4, won 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.1f, heavy) 56 days ago, kept up to work. Should have more to offer. Made all to justify favouritism at Fairyhouse in December, can continue on the upgrade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +67%) Nara |
3/1(+67%) | (1) Nara 3/1, Fairly useful ex-Fench winning hurdler. Yard in good form so not ruled out with tongue strap back on. Listed hurdle winner in France, jumping needs to improve on Fairyhouse evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (15/2 -50%) Open To Question |
15/2(-50%) | (2) Open To Question 15/2, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 24 lengths ninth of 11 to Kargese in Spring Juvenile Hurdle (100/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Flat maiden, won well on hurdling debut, found Grade 1 company too tough last Saturday. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LARK IN THE MORNIN has shaped nicely in a few maiden hurdles this season and may be able to step up here. The Soldier Hollow gelding chased home the impressive Mighty Bandit first time up, before meeting trouble in running when sixth at Leopardstown. Last time, he kept on nicely when third to a smart sort in Highwind at Punchestown and may have got closer but for a mistake at the last. With no penalties to carry, he gets a nice pull of half a stone from the filly Nara. She won a Listed hurdle in her native France and, as a result, has to give weight to the field. The daughter of Jeu St Eloi shaped nicely on her Irish debut when fourth in a strong Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse and should improve from that. She may turn the tables now with the third-placed Eagle Fang.
LARK IN THE MORNIN holds the edge on form so is taken to gain a first success in this sphere at the chief expense of Eagle Fang, who can also play a part. Pacini looks to have better days ahead of him and needs considering too.
Preference is for LARK IN THE MORNIN, a Flat winner, twice placed over hurdles. He may exploit the 7lb concession from Nara

Makaela's Choice |
(7) (100/1 -52%)100/1(-52%) | (7) Makaela's Choice 100/1, Modest hurdler. Excellent third of 9 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, heavy, 16/1) 105 days ago. Difficult ask here, however. Third in an ordinary Galway maiden hurdle in October when last seen; up against it here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (7/2 -40%) Answer To Kayf |
7/2(-40%) | (1) Answer To Kayf 7/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in October. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 7 to Loughglynn in Grade 2 hurdle at Limerick (23f, heavy, 4/1) 46 days ago. Shortisted. Staying second in a Grade 2 Limerick novice over 2m7f; dropping in trip not an issue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (Evens +0%) Captain Cody |
Evens(+0%) | (5) Captain Cody Evens, Highly promising individual. Career best when easily winning 6-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy, 2/11) on hurdles bow 16 days ago by 10 lengths from Backtonormal. Big shout with lots more to come. Jumped sketchily but brushed aside Backtonormal at Gowran and likely to improve for this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 -29%) Backtonormal |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Backtonormal 18/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. 7/2, 10 lengths second of 6 to Captain Cody in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Open to progress. No match for Captain Cody in a Gowran maiden hurdle; needs further but should run his race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (40/1 -60%) Any Road |
40/1(-60%) | (2) Any Road 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in November. Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft, 17/2) 70 days ago. Clearly better than Fairyhouse run but needs to improve on all form to be a factor here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/2 +29%) Blizzard Of Oz |
5/2(+29%) | (3) Blizzard Of Oz 5/2, Promising type. 1 win from 1 run this season. Career best when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy, 5/4) on hurdles bow 60 days ago, kept up to work. Likely to improve. Player. Overcame poor jumping in winning his maiden hurdle at Punchestown in December; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (66/1 -313%) Thegraveyardbookie |
66/1(-313%) | (6) Thegraveyardbookie 66/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 14/1) on hurdles bow 43 days ago, keeping on well. Should progress. Probably a decent enough prospect but could well find this a bit too taxing at this stage. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Paul Townend is back in action here aboard CAPTAIN CODY, having had a few days off, and can return on a winner. The Arctic Cosmos gelding, sixth in last season's Cheltenham Champion Bumper, made an impressive start over timber at Gowran on Thyestes day and could be a smart staying prospect. Stablemate Blizzard Of Oz also commands respect. He's also by the former St Leger winner and won on his hurdling debut at Punchestown in mid-December. He finished second to the selection in a Limerick bumper last year and may play second fiddle again. Answer To Kayf sets the standard off a mark of 134 and also has to be on the shortlist. He comes into this on the back of a good run to finish third in a Grade 2 contest at Limerick over Christmas.
CAPTAIN CODY looked a most exciting recruit when going in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Gowran so is hard to oppose. Stablemate Blizzard of Oz appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Answer To Kayf and Backtonormal.
The one to beat though should be the progressive ANSWER TO KAYF, runner-up in a Limerick Grade 2 with the drop in trip not an issue

1st (1) (5/4 +72%) Glen Kiln |
5/4(+72%) | (1) Glen Kiln 5/4, Fairly useful hurdler. Second of 4 in novice hurdle (14/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 17 days ago, having run of race. Likely to be in the mix. Career best when runner-up over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last month; could get into the shake-up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 +45%) Musta Lovea Lovea |
3/1(+45%) | (5) Musta Lovea Lovea 3/1, Remains a maiden after 10 hurdle runs. Very good third of 22 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, soft, 16/1) 90 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and one to consider back up in trip. Won't have to improve on his latest run to have a big chance if the step up in trip suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (3/1 -261%) Union Station |
3/1(-261%) | (9) Union Station 3/1, Promising individual. Third of 25 in novice hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Open to improvement and shortlisted now stepping up in trip. Showed lots of promise when third in a 2m maiden hurdle here last month; trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 -27%) Gold In The Rivers |
7/2(-27%) | (2) Gold In The Rivers 7/2, €220,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Showed a bit when fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 9/2) on NH debut 44 days ago. In good hands and he rates a likely improver. Looks to have plenty of potential improvement and should get much closer here than debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (66/1 -100%) Shraheen |
66/1(-100%) | (7) Shraheen 66/1, Mount Nelson gelding. 12/1, sixth of 10 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Showed some ability in a Fairyhouse bumper last month; much more needed on hurdles bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (150/1 -50%) Lispopple |
150/1(-50%) | (4) Lispopple 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 30 days ago. Probably one for later on/low-grade handicaps. Well beaten in three maiden hurdles and a bumper and won't be involved here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (150/1 -200%) Shades Of Tara |
150/1(-200%) | (6) Shades Of Tara 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. Soundly beaten in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle; up against it here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (150/1 -20%) Harveyshonor |
150/1(-20%) | (3) Harveyshonor 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 17 days ago. Passed over here. Beaten a mile on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse last month and hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (50/1 +0%) Spellacy's Cross |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Spellacy's Cross 50/1, Well held both starts in maiden hurdles. Jumped sketchily on his hurdles debut here last month and well beaten upped in trip latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
UNION STATION shaped nicely on his debut here last month and can step forward now. The Leading Light gelding was third to easy winner Tullyhill over two miles in a stronger looking contest and, with the run under his belt and stepping up in trip, he looks the one to beat. Musta Lovea Lovea sets the standard off a mark of 111, but is rather exposed and is tried in cheekpieces now. Glen Kiln ran well to chase home Spread Boss Ted at Fairyhouse last time and could prove a bigger danger. Gold In The Rivers, a well-beaten fifth on debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, is a potential improver.
There was a good deal of promise to glean from UNION STREET's debut third in a maiden over 2m here 4 weeks ago and, open to improvement now stepping up in trip, he could be the way to go representing an in-form yard. Musta Lovea Lovea and Glen Kiln head up the dangers, whilst Gold In The Rivers rates another likely improver.
The one to beat is UNION STATION who should build on his highly promising debut over 2m here last month

2/1(-14%) | (3) Whiskeywealth 2/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17.3f, soft, 8/1) 28 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Can make presence felt. Every chance before falling two out in a Thurles handicap hurdle in December; big chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (11/2 +45%) Verbal Sparring |
11/2(+45%) | (11) Verbal Sparring 11/2, 14/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, heavy) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Disappointing upped in trip at Punchestown last time but claims on his previous run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (18/1 +45%) Desert Friend |
18/1(+45%) | (6) Desert Friend 18/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in June. First run since leaving Philip M. Byrne when good eighth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Dundalk (16f) 22 days ago, met some trouble. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Not disgraced in a Dundalk handicap last month; would prefer better ground. |

4th (8) (9/2 +31%) Star Official |
9/2(+31%) | (8) Star Official 9/2, Winner at Thurles in October. Below form fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 16 days ago. Has good chance on form. Needs to bounce back from his Gowran effort but every chance of doing so in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/1 +45%) Ebasari |
11/1(+45%) | (2) Ebasari 11/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 40/1) 84 days ago. Struggled to find any sort of form in four runs last year; best watched. |

6th (9) (22/1 +33%) Yulong Voice |
22/1(+33%) | (9) Yulong Voice 22/1, 40/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Down in trip. Wants better ground than this and well beaten over 2m4f on his return at Navan last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/1 -13%) Clever Currency |
9/1(-13%) | (5) Clever Currency 9/1, Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 10/1) 55 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well beaten in handicap hurdle at Thurles last time (Whiskeywealth fell); others preferred. |

8th (1) (7/1 -110%) Champion Green |
7/1(-110%) | (1) Champion Green 7/1, C&D winner. 40/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Okay run here last time and could be a big player off this mark in such a weak contest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (22/1 -214%) Tempo Chapter Two |
22/1(-214%) | (4) Tempo Chapter Two 22/1, 14/1, unseated rider in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) 70 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Hood on 1st time. Back over hurdles now on his first run for a new stable and best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (10/1 +17%) Petit Dejeuner |
10/1(+17%) | (10) Petit Dejeuner 10/1, Winner at Limerick in November. 11/2, below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 45 days ago. Others more persuasive. Readily landed a handicap hurdle at Limerick in November before disappointing at Christmas. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Not much strong recent form to go on here and WHISKEYWEALTH may prove the answer, switching back to timber. The Yeats gelding takes a drop in class having contested the valuable Dan & Joan Moore Memorial Chase at Fairyhouse last time and he looks on a nice mark over hurdles. He had been running a big race when falling in front two from home at Thurles in a handicap hurdle previously and is capable of scoring off his current rating. Verbal Sparring was well beaten over further at Punchestown last time and may appreciate dropping back to the minimum trip. He had run well previously over two miles at the Kildare venue when chasing home Billy Lee Swagger. Star Official has been knocking on the door and looks like another for the shortlist.
Preference in this open-looking handicap is for STAR OFFICIAL, who wasn't disgraced at Gowran last time and he looks more solid than most of his rivals. Verbal Sparring and Whiskeywealth are taken to fill the places, with Tempo Chapter Two also a candidate for minor honours.
This could go to top-weight CHAMPION GREEN(nap), a maiden hurdle winner here two years ago. He could have too much class for these

1st (1) (5/2 -53%) Allegorie De Vassy |
5/2(-53%) | (1) Allegorie De Vassy 5/2, Smart chaser. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Below form 33 lengths second of 5 to Riviere D'etel in Grade 3 mares event (8/13) at Fairyhouse (21.4f, heavy) 40 days ago, finding little. Down in trip. Needs to bounce back. Poor run at Fairyhouse last time, nothing between her and Riviere D'Etel on these terms. |

2nd (2) (7/4 +61%) Riviere D'etel |
7/4(+61%) | (2) Riviere D'etel 7/4, Smart chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 10/3, improved to win 5-runner Grade 3 mares event at Fairyhouse (21.4f, heavy) 40 days ago by 33 lengths from Allegorie De Vassy. Back down in trip. Player. Trounced a below-par Allegorie De Vassy at Fairyhouse, nothing between them in theory. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/3 -104%) Maskada |
10/3(-104%) | (5) Maskada 10/3, Smart chaser. Creditable 8¼ lengths third of 6 to El Fabiolo in Hilly Way Chase (9/1) at Cork (16.7f, heavy) 62 days ago. Leading contender. Last year's Grand Annual winner, well suited by these race conditions, may take advantage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 +25%) Instit |
15/2(+25%) | (4) Instit 15/2, Useful chaser. 4/1, well-beaten third of 5 to Riviere D'etel in Grade 3 mares event at Fairyhouse (21.4f, heavy) 40 days ago. Down in trip. Beating a below-par Allegorie De Vassy last season, short of the standard required here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (17/2 +47%) Silent Approach |
17/2(+47%) | (3) Silent Approach 17/2, Useful chaser. 10/3, respectable 9½ lengths third of 6 to Harmonya Maker in Gr 2 chase at Thurles (20.2f, heavy) 20 days ago, finishing tired. Back down in trip. Modest hurdler who has developed into a very capable chaser, capable of holding her own. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RIVIERE D'ETEL can confirm recent form with Allegorie De Vassy over this shorter trip. The Martaline mare was impressive at Fairyhouse last time when skipping clear from the second-last for a very easy success over 2m5f. She is equally effective at the minimum trip and had run a solid race to chase home Captain Guinness at Navan previously. Paul Townend sides with Allegorie De Vassy again and she is a classy mare on her day. She wasn't at her best last time, but has to be respected on the pick of her form. She had been a good winner at Clonmel in November, when she had stablemate Instit and last year's Grand Annual winner Maskada in behind.
MASKADA stepped up on her reappearance when third in a Grade 2 at Cork and this looks a good opportunity for last season's Grand Annual winner in receipt of weight. Riviere D'etel easily beat a below-par Allegorie de Vassy in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse so Gordon Elliott's mare is feared most.
The 2023 Grand Annual winner MASKADA ha a good chance of coping with Allegorie De Vassy and Riviere D'Etel at these weights

1st (6) (8/13 +65%) Its On The Line |
8/13(+65%) | (6) Its On The Line 8/13, Useful chaser. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner hunter chase at Down Royal (24f, soft, 11/2) 46 days ago. Looks the one to beat again. Developed into major force last season, form of Down Royal win makes attractive reading. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/2 -136%) Billaway |
13/2(-136%) | (3) Billaway 13/2, Useful chaser. 3-time C&D winner. Nine wins from 25 NH runs. Won 7-runner hunter chase at Downpatrick (28.7f, good to soft, 10/3), going with enthusiasm. Off 8 months. Not as consistent these days but should be tuned up for this. Bidding to win this event for the fifth year in a row, lack of race-fitness a drawback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 +44%) Ramillies |
5/1(+44%) | (7) Ramillies 5/1, Useful hurdler. First run since leaving W. P. Mullins when creditable 11¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Its On The Line in hunter chase (12/1) at Down Royal (24f, soft) 46 days ago. Showing fine form in points, fourth behind Its On The Line at Down Royal, appears held. |

|PU| (5) (8/1 -140%) Hitak |
8/1(-140%) | (5) Hitak 8/1, £50,000 3-y-o, Lauro gelding. Closely related to French 17f/19f chase winner Enguerande. Won last 3 of 4 starts in points (latest Jan 14) and warrants close monitoring in the market on Rules debut. Unbeaten in three starts in points since December, beat a good yardstick at Dromahane. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (12/1 -60%) Battleoverdoyen |
12/1(-60%) | (2) Battleoverdoyen 12/1, Grade 1 winner in his pomp but just useful nowadays. Has won both starts in points since last seen under Rules and looks a formidable addition to the hunter chasing division. Top-class in his youth, showed enthusiasm when winning at Tyrella a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (20/1 -43%) Annamix |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Annamix 20/1, Useful chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner hunter chase at Killarney (23f, good, 6/4), just holding on. Off 9 months since but has the ability to feature if his jumping holds up. Beat Billaway at Fairyhouse last April, jumped badly at Punchestown, lacks a recent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (200/1 -100%) Salseros |
200/1(-100%) | (8) Salseros 200/1, Modest hurdler. 200/1, first run since leaving Barry Connell when creditable sixth of 16 in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 45 days ago. Third in a point since but he's out of his depth. Maiden point winner by a big margin on his penultimate start, looks out of his depth here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Billaway has won this for the last four years but tends to be better for a run and may be best watched on his belated return. The vote goes to ITS ON THE LINE, who comes here having won a strong contest at Down Royal last time. The Presenting gelding got home by half a length from Ferns Lock on St Stephen's Day and that form is very strong, with the runner-up posting an impressive win at Thurles since. Battleoverdoyen is an interesting recruit to this division. He won an Open in Tyrella late last month and with that confidence-boosting success under his belt, he could be a force in this.
ITS ON THE LINE arrives on a hat-trick and, if the emphasis is sufficiently on stamina, he should be capable of completing it at the possible expense of Hitak, who is an intriguing addition from points. Battleoverdoyen also merits plenty of respect on his first go in this sphere.
An emerging star last season ITS ON THE LINE has confirmed a high standard by beating the talented Fern Lock at Down Royal.

1st (2) (8/13 +81%) Kap De Triomphe |
8/13(+81%) | (2) Kap De Triomphe 8/13, Cima De Triomphe gelding. Dam, maiden hurdler/chaser in France, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Charmix. Makes some appeal on paper. In good hands with Pat Doyle whose Wartime Leader was second in a similar event last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 -100%) Buckaway Freddie |
2/1(-100%) | (1) Buckaway Freddie 2/1, Flemensfirth gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Slate House and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Touch Kick. Every chance he'll make a winning start. Half-brother to Grade 1 winner Slate House, carries trainer's colours, of obvious interest. |

11/1(+50%) | (5) Rose Boum 11/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 14 in bumper at this course (16f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Trainer going well. Made some late headway on C&D debut, the experience of that race could be a big help now. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Not much form to go on here and BUCKAWAY FREDDIE gets the token vote. Gordon Elliott's Flemensfirth newcomer is a half-brother to Slate House, a Grade 1 winner over fences as a novice a few years ago. The Pat Doyle-trained Kap De Triomphe is another interesting newcomer. The French import is out of a half-sister to a decent sort in Charmix. Rose Boum is the only one in the field with experience and she may improve from her initial effort, having finished sixth to Shuttle Diplomacy here last month.
BUCKAWAY FREDDIE is well related and represents top connections, so he should be up to making a successful debut in what doesn't look a particularly strong race. Kap de Triomphe also makes some appeal on paper.
Not much to go on, but the fact that Pat Doyle provided the runner-up in a similar event last month sways the vote to KAP DE TRIOMPHE
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
