1
1st (1) Madame Ambassador (10/1 +38%)
Madame Ambassador

10
10/1(+38%)
(1) Madame Ambassador 10/1, Has taken form to a new level in recent months, second of 4 at Goodwood before emphatically going one place better over C&D a fortnight ago. Up 7 lb and dominating this field asks a different question but she's clearly in excellent order.
Comfortably made all over C&D recently; this is hotter but she could make another bold bid.
10
2nd (10) Lady Boba (7/2 +46%)
Lady Boba

3.5
7/2(+46%)
(10) Lady Boba 7/2, Promising daughter of Lope De Vega who returned from 9 months off with an excellent second of 10 in an AW novice in July. Landed the odds with a fair amount in hand at Ffos Las and she can leave bare form of that behind.
Thrust into a tough race on handicap debut but she's unexposed and has a classy pedigree.
9
3rd (9) Prenup (14/1 +44%)
Prenup

14
14/1(+44%)
(9) Prenup 14/1, Improved model for present yard this term, career-best effort when registering third career success at Sandown (9f, heavy) in August, finding plenty for pressure. Solid showing at York last time and no reason why she won't go well again.
Three wins this year and another good run at York last time, but may find a few too good.
8
4th (8) Queen Regent (14/1 -27%)
Queen Regent

14
14/1(-27%)
(8) Queen Regent 14/1, Won a 1m Newcastle novice in January and even better form when second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 months later, caught further back than ideal. Shade disappointing on turf/handicap debut at Salisbury but she's in top hands and is back in trip.
Still early days but she looked beaten when hampered at 2f pole on handicap debut.
7
5th (7) Whispering Words (10/3 -33%)
Whispering Words

3.333333
10/3(-33%)
(7) Whispering Words 10/3, Green initially but picked up strongly when making second start a winning one in novice company on the July Course. Improved another chunk when runner-up under a penalty at Kempton (1m) and this trip may unlock more now handicapping.
Considerable promise in 1m novices and the step up to 1m2f looks a positive move.
2
6th (2) Lady Alara (13/2 +35%)
Lady Alara

6.5
13/2(+35%)
(2) Lady Alara 13/2, Ridden positively and found plenty for pressure when doubling career tally at Ascot (1m) last month. Excellent second to a potentially smart rival here a fortnight ago and the way she shaped on that occasions suggests this trip will suit.
In fine form in 1m handicaps the last twice and her pedigree suggests 1m2f will suit.
5
7th (5) Totnes (4/1 +0%)
Totnes

4
4/1(+0%)
(5) Totnes 4/1, Three AW wins this year and showed she's equally as effective on turf when scooting 3 lengths clear at Chepstow (1¼m, good) in August. Even better form when second at Newbury despite being denied a clear run and she looks ahead of his mark.
3yo who has won four of her ten starts and could still have more to offer.
4
8th (4) Crystallium (33/1 -32%)
Crystallium

33
33/1(-32%)
(4) Crystallium 33/1, Fairly useful dual 7f scorer as a juvenile and best effort this term when beaten around a length in the Distaff at Sandown in July. No impact kept to that company at Haydock a month later and opening mark looks too high back up in trip.
A case can be made on her Listed fourth in July but she was well beaten last time.
11
9th (11) Aiming High (12/1 +57%)
Aiming High

12
12/1(+57%)
(11) Aiming High 12/1, Won at Southwell on New Year's Day and chased home a less-exposed 3yo on her return to turf at Doncaster in May. Just fair efforts in defeat since.
Edging down the weights but she needs something extra if she's to return to winning ways.
3
10th (3) Morning Poem (16/1 +11%)
Morning Poem

16
16/1(+11%)
(3) Morning Poem 16/1, Useful form last season and pleasing return from a long spell off the track in listed company at Yarmouth 17 days ago. Free-going type who is now fitted with cheekpieces but she's dangerous if settling back in a handicap.
Respectable Listed effort on belated reappearance and could build on that run today.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

WHISPERING WORDS returned with a breakthrough victory at Newmarket before nearly making it two on the bounce under a penalty at Kempton. The step up in trip appears likely to bring about improvement from Charlie Appleby's filly on her handicap debut. Red Danielle took advantage of an excellent opportunity to get off the mark at Yarmouth and she has to be high on the shortlist. Others to note include Totnes and Morning Poem.

This looks a hot handicap with TOTNES just about the most compelling candidate on the back of a runner-up effort despite not being seen to best effect at Newbury a fortnight ago. This trip could see Whispering Words elevate her form now handicapping for leading connections, with Queen Regent another to consider.

The step up in trip promises to suit Godolphin's unexposed handicap newcomer WHISPERING WORDS and she gets the nod under Ryan Moore.

(10) Woodhay Wonder 5/1, Took a step forward in landing valuable 15-runner conditions event on July course here 42 days ago. That form has been franked so she's very much one to consider.

His turf form is not quite so good as AW win and all of it makes this look a stiff task.

(21) Grey Gray 50/1, Fair filly who bagged her third win in 5f Chelmsford City nursery in August. Came in last of 5 there 35 days ago though so needs to get back on track.
Best form gives place chance; concern arises from sole attempt at 6f and latest effort.

Won a Catterick maiden in May; finished last in three of her four starts since; up from 5f.

22/1(+21%)
(14) Lieutenant Rascal 22/1, Fairly useful gelding. Winner at Brighton in September. 5/2, very good second of 5 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 28 days ago so he's one for the shortlist.
1st and a good 2nd on his two runs since gelded; speedy sort over 5f, now needs to get 6f.

Majorelle Blue

200
200/1(-33%)
(17) Majorelle Blue 200/1, 50/1, fifth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on her debut 35 days ago. Significantly more is required.
50-1, slowly into stride when 5th of nine in novice at Chelmsford (6f, AW), low-level form.

Darroch

100
100/1(-25%)
(5) Darroch 100/1, Again performed below his debut form when sixth of 11 in minor event (17/2) at Salisbury (6f, soft) 36 days ago. Others appeal more.
Even best form makes this a very tough task; gelded since latest start.
13
11th (13) Invincible Aura (22/1 -38%)
Invincible Aura

22
22/1(-38%)
(13) Invincible Aura 22/1, Fair maiden who took his form up a notch when an excellent second of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. In the mix.
Needs better still but has tongue tied first time and enters place calculations.
9

Beenham

14
14/1(+13%)
(9) Beenham 14/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Goodwood in May. Stumbled start when only fourth of five in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 28 days ago. Hood back on. No forlorn hope.
This first go beyond 5f is not sure to suit but her best efforts give her a place squeak.

Dubai Hills

Midnite Runner

12

(4) Midnite Runner 12/1, 5/1, left debut form well behind to get off the mark despite still having plenty to learn in 10-runner minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Sure to improve further. One to consider.
Huge improvement in a novice at Thirsk (good) when winning after some trouble in running.

Blenheim Star

150/1(-50%)
(19) Blenheim Star 150/1, Failed to progress from his debut fourth when filling same spot in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 11 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

Fourth of 11 in maiden at Newbury (6f, heavy) was better but this demands a lot more.

Now tries a visor (easily best recent run was in cheekpieces) but has lots to find.

(7) Habrdi 25/1, Went backwards from his debut when seventh of 14 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 57 days ago on his final run for George Boughey. Plenty more is required for his new yard.
Neither of his runs for George Boughey gives him serious claims; new yard (same owner).

250
250/1(-25%)
(20) Caradonna 250/1, 80/1, last of 12 in minor event at Beverley (5f, heavy) on debut 11 days ago. Hard to warm to.
80-1, tailed off in novice at Beverley (5f, soft) 11 days ago.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Newmarket Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ZOULU CHIEF has bounced back to form on his last couple of starts, with victories in the Racing League at Windsor and York's Ebor Festival, having already caused a major shock when scoring at 150/1 at Newbury on his second start. He sets the standard, especially on his Knavesmire success, and may prove a tough nut to crack. Woodhay Wonder has already won a valuable auction contest on the July Course and appears the most likely to serve it up to the selection. Midnite Runner, Rich Glory and newcomer Elderflower complete the shortlist.

ZOULU CHIEF holds the clear edge on the form of his striking York nursery win so looks very much the way to go in this valuable event. Michael Dods's improving Midnite Runner could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, going on again from his Thirsk novice success. Woodhay Wonder is another with the form to have a say on the back of his win on the July course here, with Invincible Aura completing the shortlist.

The clear pick is ZOULU CHIEF who won two nurseries in August in fairly breathtaking fashion. Woodhay Wonder is the chief threat.

Vera Verto

12
12/1(-243%)
(2) Vera Verto 12/1, Showed improved form when running out an impressive winner of 12-runner handicap at Listowel (12f, soft) 16 days ago, making all. Hit with 9 lb rise but the fourth has already franked that form since.
5yo who takes on some unexposed 3yos but this Irish raider won easily last time.

6.5
13/2(+19%)
(5) Divina Grace 13/2, Struck on Chepstow reappearance in June and back to winning ways when shading a tight finish at Bath (11.5f, firm) last month. Proved better than ever when following up in a higher grade over C&D last week, though was better placed than most.
Made it two wins in a row when scoring over C&D last time and she's respected up 5lb.
4
3rd (4) Queen Emma (5/2 +17%)
Queen Emma

2.5
5/2(+17%)
(4) Queen Emma 5/2, Improving Saxon Warrior filly who got off the mark at Lingfield (12f, AW) in July and followed up in a thin race on her handicap debut at Goodwood (12f, good). Went down fighting in her hat-trick bid in a deeper contest at Doncaster since and can go on improving.
Lightly raced 3yo who is in excellent hands to continue to progress; player.
6
4th (6) Decoration (16/5 +36%)
Decoration

3.2
16/5(+36%)
(6) Decoration 16/5, Frankel filly who got off the mark at the third attempt in a Windsor maiden (10f) in July prior to finding only a similarly-progressive type too good at the same C&D on handicap debut. Unseated her rider at the start 9 days later at Goodwood and remains open to improvement.
Lightly raced 3yo who is open to improvement now up in trip and is one to consider.
7
5th (7) Blue Missile (16/1 -14%)
Blue Missile

16
16/1(-14%)
(7) Blue Missile 16/1, Is presumably not the easiest to train but ran respectably when fifth of 8 on handicap debut at Windsor (10f, good) in July and the way she kept on suggests this longer trip should be within in range.
No threat on either outing this year but the step up to 1m4f is a possible positive.
9
6th (9) Shazam (11/1 +50%)
Shazam

11
11/1(+50%)
(9) Shazam 11/1, Hadn't shown a great deal in her qualifying runs but is out of a Prix de l'Opera winner and showed improved form to win her first 2 starts in handicaps (10f). Proved a shade disappointing at Bath in August but quickly resumed progress back up in trip when runner-up at Yarmouth (11.5f) 17 days ago.
Further improvement is needed now up in grade but that's possible from this 3yo.

Cloudbreaker

Progressive 1m4f form on her last two starts and could again go well after a 77-day break.
8
8th (8) Sid's Annie (22/1 +56%)
Sid's Annie

22

(8) Sid's Annie 22/1, Has her quirks but she's well capable when in the mood, winning for the fourth time this year when seeing off 7 rivals in a 1½m handicap on the July Course in August. Creditable fourth back there next time but took little interest at Newbury 15 days ago.
Tailed off last time but on soft ground; four wins this year and not written off.
3
9th (3) Long Ago (9/1 -29%)
Long Ago

9
9/1(-29%)
(3) Long Ago 9/1, Left debut form behind after 7 months off to land a valuable novice at Chelmsford (10f) in June. Progressed again to defy a penalty at Nottingham and run best excused when down the field in York listed race last time, seeming unfavoured by sticking towards far side. Worth another chance.
Well beaten in Listed race when bidding for a hat-trick, but she retains potential.
LTO Selection:

14:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CLOUDBREAKER has been running with plenty of credit in strong contests this season, including when fourth in both a Listed contest at Newbury won by Warm Heart and the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot. Her latest effort saw her prove no match for Novakai on the July Course, but a return to handicap company presents her with a nice opportunity to get back to winning ways. Decoration was in good form prior to unseating her rider at Goodwood and remains open to progression. Blue Missile appears to have needed time to come to herself and her latest effort at Windsor suggested she may be heading in the right direction.

QUEEN EMMA is a rapidly-improving sort who went close to completing the hat-trick at Doncaster last month and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, she makes plenty of appeal from only 3 lb higher, especially with Dettori up. Long Ago has some strong form and is well worth another chance now going handicapping having seemingly raced on the unfavoured far side in a York listed event last time, with Decoration another to take seriously.

The William Haggas-trained 3yo QUEEN EMMA has a progressive profile and is taken to come out on top under Frankie Dettori.

10/11(+0%)
(3) Inspiral 10/11, Very smart filly who looked better than ever when recording fourth career Group 1 in Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last time (for second year running). Won the Fillies' Mile over this C&D at 2 yrs and obvious claims.
Not ultra-reliable but this four-time Group 1 winner has leading claims if at her best.

Improved form to win Group 1s at Deauville the last twice; entitled to lots of respect.

Recent Listed win over C&D; could have more to offer but needs sizeable leap forward today.

Needs other to underperform if she's to win but every chance she'll make the frame again.

Group 3 winner; others have better form but this course should suit her prominent style.

Group 3 win in Germany a fortnight ago but likely to be up against it in this Group 1.

Group 3 winner in April but beaten three times since and likely to come up short once more.
LTO Selection:

15:15 Newmarket Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

INSPIRAL was back to her brilliant best when claiming a second Prix Jacques le Marois victory at Deauville. That was a fourth Group 1 success for this daughter of Frankel, one of which came over C&D in the 2021 Fillies' Mile, and she still has plenty more to offer. French raider Mqse De Sevigne is already a dual winner at the highest level so has to be feared, while last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Meditate also enters calculations after a more encouraging fourth in the Matron. The supplemented Heredia is the pick of the rest.

MQSE DE SEVIGNE and Inspiral are very closely matched on Timeform ratings so the former looks the value call for a yard that won this in 2015 with Esoterique. Heredia did well to win the Atlanta Stakes at Sandown 5 weeks ago and is best of the others.

The French challenger Mqse De Sevigne is a danger but INSPIRAL is taken to post her fifth Group 1 victory.

(4) Hand Of God 9/1, Promising sort who stepped up on his debut effort when fifth of 12 in novice event at Salisbury (1m) 4 weeks ago, that despite still seemingly wanting for know-how. In good hands and highly likely this well-bred sort can do better still.
Has shown ability on both starts; bred to do better and is not ruled out.

2nd (2) Classic Encounter (4.5/1 -50%)
Classic Encounter

4.5
4.5/1(-50%)
(2) Classic Encounter 4.5/1, Bred to be smart and whilst he was a warm order on debut, he ultimately shaped as if he'd come on plenty for the experience when midfield in 11-runner Kempton novice (7f) 59 days ago. Gelded since and no surprise to see him leave that well behind.
Unplaced favourite on debut but gelded since and could be a big improver today.
1
3rd (1) Brave Call (50/1 +50%)
Brave Call

50
50/1(+50%)
(1) Brave Call 50/1, Churchill half-brother to connections' winner up to 1m (stays 1¼m) Island Bandit. Sent off at long odds and ultimately held back by inexperience when eighth of 11 in novice event at Leicester (7f, soft) 25 days ago.
Well beaten on debut but half-brother Island Bandit was a 125-1 winner on his second start.
9
4th (9) Sisyphean (2.5/1 -43%)
Sisyphean

2.5
2.5/1(-43%)
(9) Sisyphean 2.5/1, Well-made colt who has showed fairly useful form, finding only another promising sort too strong when second of 9 in an Ayr novice (1m) 16 days ago. Sets the standard on what he's achieved to date and sound claims of going one place better.
Went close at Ayr on second start and that's the best form in this field.
8
5th (8) Royal Majesty (14/1 +13%)
Royal Majesty

14
14/1(+13%)
(8) Royal Majesty 14/1, Foaled May 1. Frankel colt. Half-brother to minor winner in US by Empire Maker. Dam, US 1m-9f (Grade 1 event), half-sister to high-class US 1m-1¼m performer Royal Delta (6-time Grade 1 winner). Noteworthy newcomer for leading stable.
Frankel colt who is in top hands and could play a leading role on debut.

6th (6) King's Fountain (2.25/1 +50%)
King's Fountain

2.25
2.25/1(+50%)
(6) King's Fountain 2.25/1, Makes a fair bit of appeal on paper and he produced a promising first effort (learning as race went on) when fourth of 10 in Sandown novice (7f, soft) 17 days ago. Likely to stay 1m and interesting with improvement forthcoming.
Kept on for promising fourth over 7f on debut; firmly in calculations now tackling 1m.

Purefoy

28
28/1(-12%)
(7) Purefoy 28/1, Foaled April 9. 40,000 gns yearling, Ulysses colt. Easy to back (sent off at 50/1) but he displayed fair form when ninth in 7f Ascot maiden 29 days ago. Likely to know more this time but yard may well hold stronger claims with King's Fountain.
Open to improvement on second run but yard looks to have better hope with King's Fountain.
3
8th (3) Dark Viper (50/1 -150%)
Dark Viper

50
50/1(-150%)
(3) Dark Viper 50/1, Dark Angel colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Kodiac Blue and 7f winner Sea of Thieves. Fair form when fourth on debut in an AW novice at Kempton (7f) but unable to replicate that over same track/trip 2 weeks ago. Needs another run for a mark and nurseries likely more his bag.
Encouraging run on debut but took backward step next time; improvement is required.

It's A Hot One

66

(5) It's A Hot One 66/1, Foaled May 10. Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 9.5f Lamar and useful winner up to 1m Haddaf. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Betting should provide a useful guide ahead of debut.
Half-brother to 7 Flat winners; should have a future but likely to improve for this debut.
11
10th (11) Ardara Rose (200/1 -150%)
Ardara Rose

200
200/1(-150%)
(11) Ardara Rose 200/1, Churchill filly who attracted support but ultimately showed only greenness when tenth of 11 in a Kempton novice (7f) on debut 10 days ago, soon off bridle and always behind.
Attracted market support on recent debut at Kempton but was always behind after slow start.
10
|PU| (10) Wonder (5/1 +38%)
Wonder

5
5/1(+38%)
(10) Wonder 5/1, In need of experience but showed ability when third in newcomers maiden on July Course in August and matched that when second of 7 in a Salisbury novice (7f) 3 weeks ago, despite being worst placed of the principals. Entitled to be thereabouts.
Placed both runs (7f/1m); future probably lies over further but he could still be in mix.
LTO Selection:

15:50 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

KING'S FOUNTAIN displayed plenty of promise when fourth on his introduction over 7f at Sandown and the son of Too Darn Hot could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Sisyphean is an obvious threat following his narrow defeat at Ayr, while Wonder and Classic Encounter have shown enough to warrant an interest. Royal Majesty is out of a mare who won a Grade 1 on turf in the US and any market support for him on debut would have to be noted.

SISYPHEAN ran to a similar level as on debut when edged out late on by another promising sort at Ayr's Western Meeting 16 days ago, and with the likelihood of more to come, Kevin Ryan's charge gets the nod to go one place better. Classic Encounter looked badly in need of the experience on his debut at Kempton yet, gelded subsequently, he promises to leave that effort in his wake and is feared. King's Fountain and Hand of God complete the shortlist.

This could go to the Roger Varian-trained newcomer ROYAL MAJESTY, who is by Frankel and out of a Grade 1-winning dam.

(7) Placo 7/4, Starspangledbanner gelding who proved easy to back but produced a promising effort nevertheless when fourth of 11 in a Leicester novice (7f) 25 days ago, challenging from 2f out and running on. Looks sure to progress.
Close fourth on debut at Leicester and the form has been franked; strong contender.

(2) Christian David 18/1, Profitable colt who showed ability though was too much in need of experience to make an impact when seventh in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut just over 2 weeks ago. Should improve on that initial effort.
Not without promise on recent debut but probably needs a sizeable step forward.

Newcomer; 1,500,000gns yearling; in top hands and bred to be very talented.

125/1(-25%)
(1) Aces High 125/1, Son of Showcasing who has offered little in pair of minor events over 7f at Kempton (gelded after debut). In top hands and ought to do better somewhere down the line.
Well beaten at Kempton (7f, AW) on first two starts, at 16-1 then 66-1.
LTO Selection:

16:25 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Newcomer MILITARY LEADER cost a pretty penny at the sales and he could be primed to strike for connections that have an excellent record with two-year-olds at this track. The booking of Ryan Moore is significant and the son of Dubawi may have too much for fellow debutant Francisco, who is a half-brother to Group 3 winner La Rioja. Gracious Leader is another to note for market support, while Leicester fourth Placo looks best of those with experience.

Charlie Appleby hasn't been as prolific with his juveniles this term but 1,500,000 gns yearling MILITARY LEADER ticks plenty of the right boxes so can come out on top with the booking of Ryan Moore catching the eye. Placo produced a promising effort when fourth at Leicester last month, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Point Sur and Gracious Leader another pair of newcomers needing close attention.

The form of PLACO's debut fourth at Leicester last month reads well and he can put that experience to good use.

Coco Jamboo

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(1) Coco Jamboo 7/2, C&D winner who justified support with an impressive success at Sandown last time, doing well to come from last to score with plenty in hand. Can follow up if the race is run to suit.
Won with something to spare at Sandown three weeks ago and she's respected up 6lb.

Won two in a row then had an excuse over this C&D last time; not ruled out.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Newmarket Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner at Ascot on her first try at this distance, ZOUZANNA should be open to plenty more improvement, despite the rise in grade. Oisin Murphy retaining the ride is a big plus and she is preferred to C&D winner Speriamo and Coco Jamboo, who did it quite comfortably at Sandown. Vermilion returned from a year-long absence at Kempton and is entitled to come on from that promising third.

COCO JAMBOO was impressive at Sandown last time and, provided the pace is sound, she's capable of following up. Fellow last-time-out winner Zouzana is the chief threat and O G Beachwear can't be ruled out.

C&D winner SPERIAMO (nap) was a good third over 1m here recently, when shaping as though this drop back to 7f could be a positive move.

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.
