1st (6)  (11/2 +0%)Sea Just In Time |
11/2(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sea Just In Time 11/2, Sea The Stars filly. Sister to smart 11.6f/1½m winner Sea On Time and useful 1¼m-11.6f winner Truthful. Dam unraced out of smart 7f-1¼m winner Lay Time. Entered for Ribblesdale/Irish Oaks. One to note on debut. Class middle-distance pedigree and boasts a couple of high-profile entries. |
|||
2nd (5)  (3/1 +50%)Precious Jewel |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Precious Jewel 3/1, Dubawi filly. Sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Warren Point and half-sister to 7f/1m winner Gateway and useful 1m winner Shining Jewel. Dam, 1½m-15.5f winner, half-sister to high-class winner up to 15f Manatee. Respected on debut though Buick prefers Magic Dream. Magic Dream perhaps yard number one but hard to dismiss with her pedigree. |
|||
3rd (4)  (9/2 -64%)Mallavelly |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mallavelly 9/2, Left 2-y-o efforts behind when second of 12 in maiden at this course (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago, seeing the longer trip out well. Has plenty of stamina in her pedigree so step up in distance should suit (entered for Oaks/Ribblesdale). Bold bid expected. Just about sets the standard on her second at the Craven meeting; bred for this far. |
|||
4th (1)  (17/2 -42%)Divine Presence |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Divine Presence 17/2, Dubawi filly. Sister to 1¼m winner Rajasthan. Dam winner up to 1¼m (Royal Whip Stakes winner). 15/2, green when fourth of 7 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December, short of room home turn and finishing with running left. Significantly up in trip (entered for Oaks/Ribblesdale). Will improve. Ordinary initial effort but she's in a top yard and has high-profile entries. |
|||
5th (2)  (200/1 -203%)Jalea's Quest |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jalea's Quest 200/1, 17,000 gns foal, Ulysses filly. Closely related to very smart 9f-1¾m winner Nagano Gold and half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 1¼m/11f winner Jamr. Dam unraced. Modest form when down the field in Yarmouth novice 3 weeks ago. Never made any inroads from off the pace when 125-1 at Yarmouth. |
|||
6th (3)  (13/8 -30%)Magic Dream |
13/8(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Magic Dream 13/8, Shamardal filly. Closely related to useful 7f winner Spring Promise and half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Naval Crown. 7/1, shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 14 in maiden at Newbury (10f) 2 weeks ago, going like best horse but undone by inexperience late on. Will improve. Defied market weakness when going close over this far at Newbury two weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
MAGIC DREAM did everything right bar getting her head in front on debut and, with improvement expected, this half-sister to Group 1 winner Naval Crown should be able to get off the mark at the second attempt. Mallavelly seemed a different proposition on her first start as a three-year-old when second here over 1m last month, and stepping up in trip looks like the correct move. A stablemate of the selection, Precious Jewel looks to be the pick of the newcomers, while Sea Just In Time is worth a second look for the in-form William Haggas team.
MAGIC DREAM shaped best when just edged out in a similar event at Newbury on debut 2 weeks ago and can make amends with that experience under her belt. Mallavelly stepped up on her 2-y-o form when runner-up here on return and should improve again over this longer trip, so is next best ahead of Divine Presence, who is expected to leave her debut run well behind.
Unlike some of these, MAGIC DREAM lacks Group-race entries, but that might change should she take this. Her debut was very likeable.

1st (2)  (7/1 -17%)Caviar Heights |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Caviar Heights 7/1, Put experience to good use to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Goodwood (1m) in September and, on first outing since leaving Andrew Balding, got firmly back on track when third in a listed event here on return. Should go well again for all that a couple of others have more potential. Ties in with Whip Cracker on Feilden running (stable debut); new rating is useful. |
|||
2nd (4)  (9/2 +10%)Sayedaty Sadaty |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sayedaty Sadaty 9/2, Useful colt. 6/1, excellent neck second of 8 to Cuban Tiger in listed race at Newcastle (8f) 35 days ago, rallying. Up in trip. Can feature if he's able to back up that improvement. Good second in AW Listed event on reappearance; clear possibilities on the figures. |
|||
3rd (5)  (3/1 +25%)Whip Cracker |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Whip Cracker 3/1, Confirmed debut promise when comfortably off the mark in novice at Chelmsford in October and took another marked step forward when finishing second (ahead of Caivar Heights) at Newmarket on return. More to come and definite player. Ran well in the Feilden here on reappearance; open to further progress; solid claims. |
|||
4th (1)  (18/1 +45%)Brave Call |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brave Call 18/1, Lightly raced colt who improved further when third in a novice at Newbury on reappearance. Likely to go on progressing so, while this is a stiff task on the face of it, he's not completely ruled out. Has shown clear promise but this looks a stiff task; worst chance on ratings. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/10 -10%)Endless Victory |
11/10(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Endless Victory 11/10, Stormed clear to land a Wolverhampton novice in February and followed up in more workmanlike style over C&D 15 days ago. Looks an excellent prospect who can land this before moving up further in grade. C&D winner at the Craven meeting, taking record to 2-2; bred to rate much higher still. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Trainer Charlie Appleby has landed this contest for the last two years and he looks to have another ideal candidate in the unbeaten ENDLESS VICTORY, who was made to work hard for his victory over C&D last month. The attitude he showed that day should stand him in good stead as he looks to see off Whip Cracker and Caviar Heights, who only had a short-head separating them when second and third respectively in the Feilden Stakes here recently. Sayedaty Sadaty showed up on well on his return in the Burradon Stakes and going up in trip may eke out further improvement.
ENDLESS VICTORY has a big reputation and maintained his unbeaten record over C&D last time, so he's fancied to take this step in class in his stride. Whip Cracker and Caviar Heights filled the placings at this level here last time and should be on the premises again.
Promising ENDLESS VICTORY is taken to enhance his trainer's excellent record in this race. Whip Cracker is feared most.

1st (2)  (5/1 -43%)Noble Dynasty |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Noble Dynasty 5/1, Won 3 of his 4 starts in 2022 and wasn't disgraced after 16 months off having been sent off 5/4 favourite when 1½ lengths fifth of 16 to Fort Payne in Group 3 Ras Al Khor at Meydan (7f, good) in March. Entitled to strip fitter for that outing and should be bang there. Seemed to need the run at Meydan on reappearance; won over C&D during a good 2022 campaign. |
|||
2nd (8)  (7/2 +42%)English Oak |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) English Oak 7/2, Left debut effort well behind when scoring at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last July and ran his best race tried sprinting for the first time when runner-up in a 16-runner handicap at Ascot (6f, good) in October. Returns only 1 lb higher and looks a colt to follow this season. Solid effort on final 3yo start; looks the type to progress further this term; respected. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +30%)Dark Thirty |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dark Thirty 7/2, Likeable sort who won two 7f 3-y-o handicaps last season and took his form up a notch to resume winning ways after 6 months off in 18-runner handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago. Handicapper has nudged him up 3 lb but should go well again. Solid record at the Newmarket tracks; better than ever at the Craven meeting most recently. |
|||
4th (12)  (11/1 +8%)Be Frank |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Be Frank 11/1, Successful return in 6f Salisbury maiden last May and improved again when landing Windsor handicap the following month. Shaped as if still in top form when seventh of 16 in handicap on the July course last summer and now upped in trip for his return, he's one to follow this year. Lightly raced; type to improve further this term; the new trip is worth exploring. |
|||
5th (9)  (16/1 +36%)Love De Vega |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Love De Vega 16/1, In good form on all-weather this winter, winning twice over 7f at Chelmsford. Below for back on turf at this C&D (good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago so others look more appealing. Yard did win this last year. Came up well short over C&D last month and remains on a difficult mark. |
|||
6th (7)  (40/1 -60%)Persuasion |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Persuasion 40/1, Solid on the whole last campaign, edging down to a career-low mark before winning at Thirsk in September. Finished well held after 7 months off at this C&D (good to firm) just over 2 weeks ago and this should reveal what ability remains. Respectable third in this race last year; always behind over C&D on reappearance. |
|||
7th (1)  (22/1 -38%)Saint Lawrence |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Saint Lawrence 22/1, Snapped losing sequence following yard switch/refitted with blinkers when landing the Wokingham at Royal Ascot last summer. More than backed that up when third in Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest next time but safely held all 3 subsequent starts, including on return last month. Cheekpieces back on. Wokingham winner; returns to 7f for first time in three years; not the percentage call. |
|||
8th (5)  (10/1 +29%)Lethal Levi |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lethal Levi 10/1, Failed to score last term but posted some good efforts in defeat, including when fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 6 months ago. Headgear left off for his return and back down to his previous winning mark, he's not out of things if ready to roll. Made the frame in major 7f handicap at Ascot on last appearance; back on last winning mark. |
|||
9th (11)  (14/1 +0%)Final Watch |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Final Watch 14/1, Looked as good as ever when scoring on the July course last summer. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested on final outing of the season at Ascot in October and returns back down to his last winning mark. Always worth a second look at this venue. Well suited by the Newmarket tracks; on last winning mark; 2-3 under Marco Ghiani. |
|||
10th (3)  (5/1 +29%)Thunder Ball |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thunder Ball 5/1, Deservedly gained a second career win at Goodwood in October and has resumed with a couple of promising efforts, shaping well under another attacking ride when fourth of 21 in handicap at Newbury just under 2 weeks ago. Firmly in the picture again. Useful efforts in several major handicaps over 1m/1m1f, fourth in the Spring Cup latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A taking winner over 6f at the Craven meeting here last month, DARK THIRTY should have no issues with going back up in trip and a 3lb rise for that success could prove quite lenient. Richard Hannon's admirable sort is narrowly preferred to Thunder Ball, who went well for a long way in the Spring Cup over 1m at Newbury before weakening into fourth late in the piece. Noble Dynasty shaped with promise on his return from a long absence at Meydan, while English Oak is another key player trying this trip for the first time since his debut last May. Completing the shortlist are Final Watch, Saint Lawrence and Zouky.
An ultra-competitive handicap which can go the way of ENGLISH OAK, who did well under the circumstances given his position more towards the centre of the track when finishing runner-up at Ascot over 6f on his final 3-y-o start and looks just the type to progress again this season. Thunder Ball is shaping up well this term, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Noble Dynasty and course-regular Final Watch another couple to look out for, as well.
From a yard among the winners, ENGLISH OAK (nap) is preferred. Dark Thirty is second choice ahead of Final Watch.

1st (2)  (11/8 +31%)Boiling Point |
11/8(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Boiling Point 11/8, Thirsk novice winner who was an excellent short-head second of 12 to Alyanaabi in the C&D Somerville Tattersall Stakes in September. Turned over when odds on for a good-ground conditions race back here on his recent reappearance (Bold Style close up in third) but he's still a major player. Runner-up over C&D in last two appearances; penultimate effort is strong form. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/4 +21%)Bold Style |
11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bold Style 11/4, Built on promising Wolverhampton debut when readily going one better at Chelmsford (1m) in December (second and third in that race have both won since). Further progress when third, finishing just a neck adrift of Boiling Point, over this C&D on recent turf debut. Probably capable of better still. Improving; only a neck behind Boiling Point over C&D last time; possibilities. |
|||
3rd (6)  (13/2 -8%)Queen Of Zafeen |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Queen Of Zafeen 13/2, Looked good when winning first 2 starts and lost no caste in defeat, despite surrendering her unbeaten record, at Lingfield (AW) where she was just touched off in a 7f listed event. That bare form leaves her with a bit to find now switched to turf but she's clearly well-regarded (Group 1 entry). Progressive in 7f AW events, close second upped to Listed grade latest. |
|||
4th (1)  (16/5 +47%)Alaskan Gold |
16/5(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alaskan Gold 16/5, Much improved with a visor added when ½-length second of 9 to Ballymount Boy in listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy) on final 2-y-o start. Headgear omitted when a creditable fifth on return in the Greenham at Newbury and left off again here. Should give another good account. Ran well in the Greenham; won't be fazed if the ground is again slower than good. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A small but select field of improving three-year-olds possibly headed by INDIAN RUN, who took the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York last August before coming last in the Dewhurst Stakes, when the soft ground did not help his chances. If he has trained on, then he could prove too good for the likes of Boiling Point and Bold Style, who finished a good second and third respectively over this C&D last month and they will be looking to put their race-fitness to good use as they rise in class.
BOLD STYLE was only a neck behind Boiling Point in a well-contested C&D conditions race last month and, with the likelihood of better to come from the Godolphin colt, he is taken to reverse the placings with Roger Varian's charge and emerge on top. Boiling Point is nonetheless greatly respected, particularly judged on his close second to subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Alyanaabi in a Group 3 here in September, while Alaskan Gold wasn't disgraced in the Greenham and should be in the mix, too.
Solid BOILING POINT has useful C&D form and get the vote ahead of Bold Style, who ties in with the selection.

1st (5)  (50/1 -52%)Outbox |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Outbox 50/1, Smart performer on his day but this front-runner's last win was back in February 2022 and bit of a surprise were he to snap that losing run here (third and fourth in the last 2 runnings of this). Losing sequence is mounting up; the 9yo is vulnerable against these younger rivals. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/8 +45%)Time Lock |
11/8(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Time Lock 11/8, Won a French listed race last September and displayed a striking turn of foot when following up in the Group 3 Princess Royal Stakes over C&D 4 weeks later. Not up to a Group 1 at Ascot final start but capable of playing a leading role on her return to action for an-form stable. Very useful mare who is 2-2 at this venue, including an emphatic G3 win last September. |
|||
3rd (4)  (8/1 -14%)Naqeeb |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Naqeeb 8/1, Superbly-bred colt (closely related to top-class pair Baaeed and Hukum) and progressed nicely at 3. Has something to find at this level but good chance he'll have more to offer in 2024. Pedigree suggests he'll get even better with age; interesting prospect for this season. |
|||
4th (1)  (11/2 -10%)Astro King |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Astro King 11/2, Inspired buy by connections, winning a nice prize at the York Ebor meeting last summer before following up in the Cambridgeshire here. Good length second of 9 to Ottoman Fleet in Earl of Sefton over 9f here last month and good chance on form if stamina holds on belated first attempt at 1½m Ran creditably in the Earl of Sefton here last month; stamina to prove over this new trip. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/1 +0%)King Of Conquest |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) King Of Conquest 5/1, Won a Goodwood listed race last May and proved his stamina for 1½m when third in a Group 3 here on final 4-y-o start. Respectable fourth in a Bahrain listed race on reappearance in March. Buick sides with Castle Way. Has two pieces of very useful form at this venue, including major handicap success. |
|||
6th (2)  (7/2 +42%)Castle Way |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Castle Way 7/2, Won the 1¼m 3-y-o listed race on this card a year ago and followed up in the Group 3 Bahrain Trophy at the July meeting. Improved again when second in Great Voltigeur at York (1½m, good to firm) on final start and had an excuse (found to have bled) for his disappointing reappearance at Meydan. Progressive on British soil and has a record of 3-4 at the Newmarket tracks; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Naqeeb is interesting if a gelding operation brings about some improvement, but he still needs to find more if he wants get the better of CASTLE WAY. Fourth at Meydan on his return in March before scoping badly after the race and given time to recover, he can hopefully recapture his better form, which includes three wins at Newmarket (two on this course). Time Lock is a classy C&D winner, but it is noted he is yet to win on his first start of the season.
Harry Charlton has his team in fine form so the suggestion is TIME LOCK who is 2-2 over C&D, including a Group 3 last autumn. With doubts about Astro King's stamina it could be that the chief threat comes from Godolphin's Castle Way.
Several of the runners have good Newmarket form. The percentage call goes to CASTLE WAY, ahead of Time Lock.

1st (7)  (7/4 +61%)Volterra |
7/4(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Volterra 7/4, Promise when making the frame first 2 starts and took a step forward when opening his account in 12-runner minor event at Redcar (7f, good) in September, still green but travelling powerfully. Major player with more still to offer as he goes handicapping. Ran well in all three starts last year including a Redcar win; watch market on return. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/1 -13%)Skukuza |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Skukuza 9/1, Plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Newbury (7f, good) on debut last summer, but was still green when third at Yarmouth next time. Shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off at this course 17 days ago, so he's not discounted upped in trip for his handicap bow. Plenty of stamina on dam's side; one to be interested in on handicap debut up a furlong. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +11%)The Camden Colt |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Camden Colt 4/1, Fairly useful form at 2 yrs, only narrowly denied in a C&D nursery on his final outing of the campaign in September. After a 7-month absence, picked up where he left off when again finding one too strong here (good) 17 days ago. Can give his running once more. Runner-up over C&D in last two starts; up another 2lb and wouldn't want rain. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/2 +8%)Silent Age |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Silent Age 11/2, Landed odds in Kempton maiden on debut and defied a penalty in the style of a useful prospect at Wolverhampton a month later. Wasn't able to continue his progress when sixth of 8 in listed race at Newcastle (8f) last time, but he could yet do better now handicapping. Behind Yokohama last time, but stable has won three of the last seven runnings. |
|||
5th (5)  (9/2 +0%)Olympic Candle |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Olympic Candle 9/2, Progressed with each start at 2 yrs, getting off the mark at Ascot in September before following up with a bit in hand at Kempton 2 weeks later. After 5 months off, bumped at the start when down the field in handicap at Meydan (7f, good) in February. Remains with potential. Disappointing favourite on handicap debut at Meydan in February; something to prove. |
|||
6th (1)  (28/1 -180%)Yokohama |
28/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Yokohama 28/1, Showed a good attitude when a rare debut winner for his trainer at Newcastle in September. After 6 months off, ran well upped in grade when 4¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Cuban Tiger in listed race at the same course (8f) 35 days ago. Further progress required on handicap debut. 1-2 on the Newcastle AW; watch market on turf/handicap debut. |
|||
7th (8)  (16/1 +0%)L'ennemi |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) L'ennemi 16/1, Much improved from debut when second in a Beverley maiden in August and found a bit more progress when third in minor event at Haydock (8f, good to firm) the folllowing month. Off 7 months/has left Ralph Beckett ahead of his first handicap start. Progressive form in three starts last year; stable/handicap debut after eight months off. |
|||
8th (9)  (25/1 -14%)Rosenzoo |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rosenzoo 25/1, Off the mark at the fifth attempt in a Kempton nursery (8f) in September and soon left behind a lesser effort when third at the same C&D on his final start last year. More needed as he returns from 6 months off. Has looked better on the AW so far; best watched back on turf after seven months off. |

L'Ennemi seems worth a market check on his first start for Julie Camacho, with a mark of 81 looking workable after a good third at Haydock on his final start of 2023. He can go well, but Charlie Appleby has won three of the last seven runnings of this race and has a solid chance again with SILENT AGE. The selection threw away the race at the start at Newcastle but had won his previous two outings and may do better now in handicap company on his turf bow. The hat-trick seeking Rocking Tree may prove best of the rest.
VOLTERRA impressed with how he travelled through the race when winning at Redcar on his final start last year and, with further improvement to come, he is taken to follow up on his handicap/seasonal debut. Silent Age wasn't able to land the hat-trick on his latest outing but is respected as he makes the switch to a handicap, with Olympic Candle completing the shortlist.
This can go to handicap newcomer SKUKUZA who made an encouraging return here last month. That form was boosted at Windsor on Monday.

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.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
