1
1st (1) Castle Way (4.5/1 +10%)
Castle Way

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(1) Castle Way 4.5/1, Dual winner at 2 but still improved significantly when making a winning reappearance in 1¼m listed race on the Rowley Course here in May. Takes a 3f jump in trip now but does shape as if he'll stay further. Likely capable of better again.
Led 5f out in 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket in early May and won in clearcut style.

2nd (6) Tower Of London (0.67/1 +51%)
Tower Of London

0.67
0.67/1(+51%)
(6) Tower Of London 0.67/1, Form has taken off since stepping up to 1½m, winning a Leopardstown listed race and the Ulster Derby (Handicap) last month. More to come up in grade and leading claims.
Smooth win in 1m5f Ulster Derby (handicap) at Down Royal puts him into serious contention.

Saint George

4.5
4.5/1(-64%)
(4) Saint George 4.5/1, Won novice at Southwell and handicap at Doncaster before finding a big chunk of improvement to finish an excellent 1½ lengths second of 14 to Gregory in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1¾m, good) 3 weeks ago. Big player.
Second in the 1m6f Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last time; lots to like.

4th (2) Klondike (10/1 -33%)
Klondike

10
10/1(-33%)
(2) Klondike 10/1, 600,000 gns Galileo colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in Newbury maiden (11f, heavy) in April. Much improved (despite still looking green) when 3 lengths second to Gregory in Goodwood listed (11f again) 5 weeks later. Tongue tie added. Should relish this longer trip.
Two races; put in his place in 1m3f Listed race at Goodwood but stuck on very well for 2nd.
3
5th (3) Land Legend (25/1 -150%)
Land Legend

25
25/1(-150%)
(3) Land Legend 25/1, Excellent second to the smart Chesspiece in 1½m handicap at York's Dante meeting and not seen to best effect in King George Handicap at Royal Ascot since, staying on when badly hampered inside final 1f. Remains capable of better but this is a big jump in class.
Will stay and should improve again but he is bottom of the list on form.
5
6th (5) Think First (100/1 -52%)
Think First

100
100/1(-52%)
(5) Think First 100/1, Useful colt but well behind Saint George in Doncaster handicap and Queen's Vase on his last 2 starts and surely booked for another struggle.
Well held behind Saint George over about 1m6f on last two outings.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Newmarket Group 3 (Class 1) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Saint George ran a career best when a close second in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and has very strong claims dropping back a furlong in trip. Going up in trip looks a good move for Castle Way, having dominated a Listed contest over 1m2f on the Rowley Mile course in April and has bundles of potential. Slight preference, though, is for TOWER OF LONDON, who looks to be improving at a rate of knots and having won a premier handicap off a mark of 99 last time with his head in his chest, the son of Galileo looks another potential star stayer for connections.

An interesting renewal. TOWER OF LONDON looked on a steep upward curve when scoring twice in Ireland last month and can extend his winning run to three. Queen's Vase runner-up Saint George rates an obvious danger, while Klondike has come a long way in a short time and should have more to offer.

Five of these bring clear potential but it's SAINT GEORGE (nap) and Tower Of London who head them on form.

Jasour

16
16/1(+36%)
(2) Jasour 16/1, Confirmed debut promise when taking 8-runner maiden at Nottingham (5f, good) 39 days ago. Ought to progress further but asked a much sterner question now.
Won at Nottingham last time; unexposed but he's well down this pack on bare form.

Lake Forest

7
7/1(+0%)
(3) Lake Forest 7/1, Quickened clear to land 7-runner minor event at Haydock (6f, firm) on debut 29 days ago. Should have learnt plenty from that experience so warrants respect.
Well on top at the finish in Haydock novice event on debut; brings lots of potential.

Toca Madera

40

(9) Toca Madera 40/1, Confirmed debut promise when scoring decisively in a Bath novice last month but was unable to land a blow in Norfolk Stakes latest and this doesn't look any easier.
Finished behind two of these rivals in the Norfolk; stiff task.

4th (8) Thunder Blue (6.5/1 +59%)
Thunder Blue

6.5
6.5/1(+59%)
(8) Thunder Blue 6.5/1, Opened account in fine style at Goodwood (6f) last month and far from disgraced when fifth of 14 in Norfolk Stakes since. Likely to give another good account.
Creditable fifth in the Norfolk but is held by Malc on that form.

Purosangue

3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(7) Purosangue 3.5/1, Bred for speed and duly made an impressive racecourse bow when making all in minor event at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Looks sure to progress and is not taken lightly.
Powered clear for an impressive success at Haydock and looks a smart prospect; respected.

Malc

3.33
3.33/1(+17%)
(4) Malc 3.33/1, Off the mark first time up at Carlisle in May and improved significantly on that form when second of 14 in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Ought to stay this trip and sets the standard here.
Runner-up in the Norfolk last time, appearing to record a useful rating; leading chance.
6
7th (6) Mountain Bear (5.5/1 -22%)
Mountain Bear

5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(6) Mountain Bear 5.5/1, Promising sort who took a step forward from his debut effort when landing 18-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 4/1) last month. Further progress on the cards and he is one for the shortlist.
Driven out to win at the Curragh two weeks ago; open to further improvement for top yard.

Maximum Impact

18
18/1(+40%)
(5) Maximum Impact 18/1, Followed up Leicester debut success with victory at Ascot (5f) in May but clearly wasn't right when last home in Windsor Castle latest and may be best watched.
Flopped badly in the Windsor Castle and can be opposed after that dismal effort.
1
9th (1) Chief Mankato (5.5/1 +0%)
Chief Mankato

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(1) Chief Mankato 5.5/1, Sioux Nation colt who came from off the pace to make a winning debut in Windsor novice (6f) in May. That form looks solid and he likely has more to offer yet.
Form of Windsor win has substance; withdrawn (upset in stalls) from the Coventry since.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Purosangue was impressive on his debut at Haydock, but there has to be a slight worry about him being on the best part of the track that day and it might be worth taking him on. Mountain Bear improved plenty on his debut to win nicely on his second start and that level of form would put him in the mix with further improvement to come. There was so much to like about the run of MALC in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot, keeping on really well in the closing stages and suggesting the extra yardage should be ideal. Any improvement on that Ascot effort would make him very hard to beat.

Preference is for MOUNTAIN BEAR, who is in top hands and remains open to improvement on the back of his maiden success at the Curragh last month. Norfolk Stakes runner-up Malc is feared most with the step up in trip likely to be in his favour, whilst Purosangue hails from a yard whose juveniles tend to come on plenty from their first outing and is also much respected.

The two most appealing contenders are the clearcut Haydock winners PUROSANGUE and Lake Forest in that order of preference.

8
1st (8) Quinault (4/1 +33%)
Quinault

4
4/1(+33%)
(8) Quinault 4/1, Sprinter on a roll, making it 5-5 in handicaps when landing valuable 3-y-o contest at York under this apprentice last month, edging out Washington Heights with a couple of today's rivals also in the frame. Suspect he'll have even more to offer and could defy 5 lb rise.
Unbeaten in 5 handicaps at 6f/7f; winning margin shrinking but he's again a major player.
3
2nd (3) Mill Stream (7/1 +36%)
Mill Stream

7
7/1(+36%)
(3) Mill Stream 7/1, Useful winning juvenile who comes here on the back of a good 1¼ lengths third of 21 to Quinault in valuable handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. May do better still so he's well in the mix.
Smart C&D form 12 months ago; solid 3rd of 21 at York last month; can be involved.
7
3rd (7) Dark Thirty (22/1 +33%)
Dark Thirty

22
22/1(+33%)
(7) Dark Thirty 22/1, Back to winning ways at York (7f) in May and good effort at Goodwood next time. Poorly placed and excuses in the Britannia 3 weeks ago but not sure this return to sprinting will be in his favour.
Made running for 6f (debut) and 7f wins; return to this trip could open a door.
5
4th (5) Washington Heights (4.5/1 +25%)
Washington Heights

4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(5) Washington Heights 4.5/1, Strong-travelling sort who arrives on the up, runner-up in 6f handicaps on his last 3 starts, chasing home Shaquille (now rated 123) here on the first occasion then Quinault twice. Headed only late on at York and seems sure to go well again.
Strong credentials for big-field 6f handicaps; up 4lb for latest defeat; Ryan Moore up.
16
5th (16) Executive Decision (40/1 -82%)
Executive Decision

40
40/1(-82%)
(16) Executive Decision 40/1, Juvenile winner for Jessica Harrington (sold 82,000 gns) and made a promising start for new yard in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap at Royal Ascot, taking strong hold and nearest finish. Interesting back up in trip on the back of that.
Belied big price with staying-on 5th in major 5f Ascot handicap; back at 6f but tough task.
13
6th (13) Tough Enough (11/1 -22%)
Tough Enough

11
11/1(-22%)
(13) Tough Enough 11/1, Went the right way as a 2-y-o and struck on handicap debut back on turf after 7 months at Windsor 5 weeks ago (Eminency third, good form). Up 4 lb and could have even more to offer.
Not amenable to restraint but found plenty for 6f wins on AW and turf; more to come.
17
7th (17) Be Frank (8/1 +20%)
Be Frank

8
8/1(+20%)
(17) Be Frank 8/1, Successful return in 6f Salisbury maiden (good form) and improved again when landing Windsor handicap impressively 24 days ago, staying on strongly. There is more to come from him.
Much improved as 3yo, winning twice at 6f; return to stiff finish can suit; can do better.
4
8th (4) Tajalla (16/1 -33%)
Tajalla

16
16/1(-33%)
(4) Tajalla 16/1, Improving colt who landed 5f novices on Rowley course here and at Hamitlon before posting an excellent 1¼ lengths second of 7 to Lady Hamana in listed race at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Can do better still now handicapping up in trip.
Promising at 5f; now tackles very different type of race on the step up to 6f.
14
9th (14) Ferrous (28/1 -12%)
Ferrous

28
28/1(-12%)
(14) Ferrous 28/1, Struck at Goodwood (5f) in May and shaped as if still in form at Windsor next time, forced to try and make up his ground on the outer flank. Back up in trip with in-form apprentice booked.
This trip has caught him out in handicaps and best form is at 5f; up against it back at 6f.
10
10th (10) Eminency (9/1 +25%)
Eminency

9
9/1(+25%)
(10) Eminency 9/1, Sprinter going the right way, again chasing home Quinault and Washington Heights at York last time, settling better. Application of cheekpieces looks a good move.
Suited by big-field 6f handicaps; return to uphill finish will suit; form claims.
2
11th (2) Alpha Capture (28/1 -27%)
Alpha Capture

28
28/1(-27%)
(2) Alpha Capture 28/1, Useful gelding. Tongue strap on when good second in conditions event at Southwell but he came in last when blinkered in Lingfield listed event in March. Needs to bounce back on his handicap debut.
Good 6f turf form as 2yo; well held on AW in March; return to grass could suit; aids off.
12
12th (12) Redemption Time (20/1 +20%)
Redemption Time

20
20/1(+20%)
(12) Redemption Time 20/1, Juvenile winner who has run well in competitive 3-y-o York handicaps the last twice, staying on in sixth behind Quinault and co last time. Clearly needs a bit more to come out on top.
Two good runs in 5f and 6f handicaps at York on last two starts; needs extra.
9
13th (9) Frankness (11/1 -100%)
Frankness

11
11/1(-100%)
(9) Frankness 11/1, Scored twice as a 2-y-o and resumed winning ways with something to spare in 6-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last month. Shaped well in the 3-y-o 5f handicap at Royal Ascot (met trouble, finished strongly) subsequently. Return to 6f will suit and yard have a good record in this.
Came clear in fine style on latest 6f run; solid 6th in big 5f handicap at Ascot since.
1
14th (1) Desert Cop (12/1 +0%)
Desert Cop

12
12/1(+0%)
(1) Desert Cop 12/1, Has come a long way in a short time, posting a smart effort to win conditions race at Newcastle (6f, AW) on Good Friday. Good sixth of 17 to Bradsell in King's Stand at Royal Ascot last time so needs considering now going handicapping for yard (1 of 2 runners) with good record in this.
Talented at 6f/5f; creditable 6th in King's Stand at Ascot; competitive in first handicap.
6
15th (6) Rousing Encore (40/1 -43%)
Rousing Encore

40
40/1(-43%)
(6) Rousing Encore 40/1, Useful colt who was second in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury last season. Has found life tough this term, well held on handicap debut behind Quinault and co at York last time.
Runner-up in 6f Group 2 as 2yo; well back on recent handicap debut at York; gelded since.
11
16th (11) Animate (20/1 -25%)
Animate

20
20/1(-25%)
(11) Animate 20/1, Dual AW winner over 7f and went close behind smart prospect at Newcastle 12 days ago, improving and looking the likely winner for much of the final furlong. Same mark and not dismissed.
Both wins at 7f on AW but nearly managed a successful drop to 6f at Newcastle; has scope.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A super competitive race and another rematch between Washington Heights and QUINAULT. The former has done nothing wrong in either of their last two clashes and deserves a prize of this nature, but the latter is on such a role and can bag his sixth win on the bounce, with things likely to set up ideally once more. Tajalla is completely unexposed and is likely to take a step forward so is very much respected. Cases can also be made for Desert Cop, Tough Enough and Be Frank who all have the ability to take the big pot on offer.

BE FRANK was strong at the finish when making a winning handicap debut at Windsor and there is more to come from him. He gets the vote in a red-hot contest. The form of last month's valuable 3-y-o York 6f handicap is well represented with the first 4 home, led by the thriving Quinault, who seems sure to go close again with old rival Washington Heights. Frankness is also considered.

Several have already proved themselves in big-field handicaps but TOUGH ENOUGH impressed at Windsor and has better to come.

(4) Israr 3.5/1, Progressed in handicaps last season, winning at Newbury and Doncaster, and took form to another level when just denied in Group 3 at Newbury on return. Decent second in listed race at York since and may give Adayar most to do.
Good second on both starts this term; needs extra if he's to beat Adayar.

Made comfortable winning return in rearranged Gordon Richards on the Rowley Mile before respectable third in Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. Hard to beat back up in trip.
Has not hit the heights of 2021 again but still brings much the strongest form claims.

Back on track when 6 lengths second to Hurricane Lane in Jockey Club Stakes here since. Up against it under a penalty.
Placed in this race last year and in a Group 2 on the other Newmarket course this May.

Grand Alliance

28
28/1(-75%)
(3) Grand Alliance 28/1, Smart gelding who gained an overdue success at pattern level in the Group 3 John Porter on his reappearance but struggled in Hardwicke at Royal Ascot since. Bit to find.
Major work to do even on best form and he did not fire on latest outing.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Newmarket Group 2 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This represents a drop in grade for 2021 Derby and King George hero ADAYAR, who is fancied to bounce back following a fair third behind Mostahdaf in the Prince Of Wales at Royal Ascot last month. He should be far too good for the opposition if anywhere near the pick of his form, while recent Listed runner-up Israr can give him plenty to think about eased in distance. The selection's stablemate, Global Storm, is a Group 2 winner in his own right and is by no means a back marker, while Grand Alliance completes the quartet.

An excellent opportunity for the high-class ADAYAR to resume winning ways back down in class. Israr is a clear next best.

His top-level wins were in 2021 but ADAYAR's limited appearances since still make him the one to beat. Israr may follow him home.

Rating

11
11/1(-83%)
(8) Rating 11/1, Ran to a fair level when third on second start at Kempton last month. Flying too high in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f) and this more realistic.
Kempton 3rd (6f, AW); not so hot on turf either side, latest start admittedly Royal Ascot.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Newmarket Maiden (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Ornellaia boasts an appealing pedigree and Dominic Ffrench Davis' 260,000gns purchase should not be underestimated on her racecourse bow, but experience could prove crucial when considering KEY TO COTAI's chances. The daughter of Cotai Glory built on her racecourse debut to finish second over this distance at Salisbury last month and there is likely more to come from her. Jumeirah Breeze and Lexington Belle also warrant a market check with their most recent runs in mind.

SACRED ANGEL's debut from a wide draw at Pontefract 18 days ago was full of promise and with progress on the cards, she could be the answer. Key To Cotai just about sets the standard and her limit hasn't been reached, so she's a big threat, with Ornellaia and Dubai Treasure a couple of very interesting debutantes.

The newcomers need a very close look and Ornellaia has a Group 1 entry. SACRED ANGEL is preferred among those who have run.

Nostrum

1.1
1.1/1(+56%)
(5) Nostrum 1.1/1, Kingman colt who is a grand type physically and built on the considerable promise of his winning debut when taking Group 3 on the Rowley course here last autumn. Big effort when third in Dewhurst final start and is an obvious player down in grade for this return.
Creditable third in the 2022 Dewhurst when last seen; leading player if in the same form.

2nd (1) Embesto (6/1 -33%)
Embesto

6
6/1(-33%)
(1) Embesto 6/1, Made a taking debut at Yarmouth, then followed up in a novice at Doncaster despite being on the 'wrong' part of the track. Remains open to considerable improvement and well worth a crack at this level.
Impressive at Yarmouth then defied a penalty at Doncaster; promising colt.

3rd (4) New Endeavour (11/1 -10%)
New Endeavour

11
11/1(-10%)
(4) New Endeavour 11/1, Doubled his tally in ready fashion at Kempton and showed he's every bit as good on turf when an excellent second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot last time. Capable of making his mark at this level.
Useful form in handicaps last month; close second at Royal Ascot latest.

4th (3) Mostabshir (6/1 -20%)
Mostabshir

6
6/1(-20%)
(3) Mostabshir 6/1, Winner of both starts in novice company (still green in the Craven in between) and acquitted himself quite well when sixth in St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. Drops back in grade and merits respect.
Came up short in Group 1 at Royal Ascot but has possibilities back down in class.

5th (2) Imperial Emperor (2.5/1 -33%)
Imperial Emperor

2.5
2.5/1(-33%)
(2) Imperial Emperor 2.5/1, Dubawi colt who made a successful start on Rowley course last year and maintained his unbeaten record from the front in C&D novice last month. Plenty more to come and could be up to landing the hat-trick.
Well-bred colt who is 2-2, both wins at Newmarket; brings lots of potential; respected.

6th (6) Wildfell (80/1 -21%)
Wildfell

80
80/1(-21%)
(6) Wildfell 80/1, Highly progressive since joining this stable and completed the four-timer with a degree of comfort in 11-runner handicap at Doncaster last time. This is significantly tougher, though.
4-4 for new stable, all wins in handicaps; this is a much tougher task.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Newmarket Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This can go the way of NOSTRUM, who has not been in action since running an excellent race to finish third in the Dewhurst last October. The step up in trip should bring about further improvement and he is preferred to the likes of Britannia Stakes runner-up New Endeavour, and Mostabshir, who would hold strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate start at York. Unbeaten C&D winner Imperial Emperor is another to note on the rise in grade.

IMPERIAL EMPEROR has made a big impression on both starts to date and, with more to come, he's marginally preferred to Nostrum, who looked a class act last year but doesn't have the benefit of a recent run. Embesto has looked another exciting prospect to date, so he's another one to consider in what looks a strong renewal on paper.

Dewhurst third Nostrum sets the form standard but he is taken on with smart prospect IMPERIAL EMPEROR.

Darkness

8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(2) Darkness 8.5/1, Remains winless for this yard but went close to bucking that trend in handicaps at Epsom/Goodwood in June. May of found busy spell catching up with him at York (7f) since but good chance he can bounce back with the visor replacing blinkers.
Even if bouncing back from his last run, others may prove better handicapped.

(4) Sirona 14/1, Listed winner in Germany at 2 who has yet to match that level in 2 starts so far this term, again not seeing her race out when tenth in 11-runner Goodwood handicap (9.9f) in May. Goes handicapping now on the back of 48 days off but she does need to raise her game again.
Down in class and there's a rethink on the trip but she does not look on a great mark.

Titian

9/1(-29%)
(3) Titian 9/1, Opened account for present yard (on back of a wind op) at York (1¼m) in October and, fit from AW, bettered that form when second in Spring Mile in April. Creditable sixth in big-field 9f handicap here since and he's entitled to be thereabouts again.
Big placed efforts in two of his four starts this year; needs to be at his peak.

3.33/1(+17%)
(8) Glenfinnan 3.33/1, Harry Angel colt who has improved with each start to date, appreciating the step up to 1m when making all at Yarmouth back in September. Absent since but he remains open to further improvement now handicapping and is of firm interest. Hood on 1st time.
Absent 301 days and hooded but he should bring potential to this handicap debut.

United Front

6.5/1(+28%)
(6) United Front 6.5/1, Capitalised on much lower turf mark at Beverley (7.4f) 2 starts back and backed that up when finishing good fifth in last month's Carlisle Bell. Return to this quicker surface fine and no reason why he won't give another good account.
Finally came good on turf last month and not discredited at Carlisle on latest outing.

6th (10) Bodorgan (3/1 +25%)
Bodorgan

3
3/1(+25%)
(10) Bodorgan 3/1, El Kabeir colt who landed a course novice (7f) on final start in October and returned with an encouraging fifth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m) in May. Never figured at Sandown (1m) since but it remains early days with him and no surprise to see a better showing.
Creditable fifth of 11 on h'cap/seasonal debut at Haydock; underperformed 3 weeks later.

7th (1) Greatgadian (9/1 -13%)
Greatgadian

9
9/1(-13%)
(1) Greatgadian 9/1, Useful handicapper who finished good sixth in the Lincoln back in April. Respectable third on penultimate start at Nottingham (8.3f) and whilst he wasn't disgraced when midfield in last month's Royal Hunt Cup he rates a more interesting proposition on AW than turf. Cheekpieces back on.
No win since AW last May and his strike-rate on turf is 1-15; down weights and in class.

8th (9) Bling On The Music (4.5/1 +55%)
Bling On The Music

4.5/1(+55%)
(9) Bling On The Music 4.5/1, Off the mark (following wind op) in a Leicester novice (7f) in October. Low-key return at Musselburgh in April but back to form in 2 subsequent runs, close-up fifth of 7 in Goodwood handicap (1m) 4 weeks ago. Mark looks about right, however.
Ran respectably at 1m last two outings, making most on latest, but needs better than that.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

TITIAN went well for a long way here on the Rowley Mile in May before weakening late on and the Spring Mile second should be much better suited by dropping back to a mile. The form of his stable is another plus, with the relatively consistent Darkness, as well as the capable Greatgadian looking best placed to chase him home. Others to note include Bodorgan, Good Karma and Soar Above.

GLENFINNAN displayed race-by-race progress in 3 starts as a juvenile, off the mark over this trip at Yarmouth on his final start in September. With his form containing plenty of substance, he could well be worth chancing to make light of an absence, with the prospect of more to come now handicapping. Fellow 3-y-o's Bodorgan and Good Karma head up the dangers, with Titian one of the older brigade to note, also.

Improvement from the 3yos is possible, with Glenfinnan one such candidate. 6yo UNITED FRONT has been competitive recently on turf.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
