---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (2.5/1 +9%) Romanova |
2.5/1(+9%) | (6) Romanova 2.5/1, Golden Horn filly who was thrown in at the deep end on debut and shaped as if in need of the experience when 8¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Shuwari in listed race at Sandown (7f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Should do better with that under her belt and is one to look out for. 80-1 for Listed race at Sandown (7f, soft), pulling hard before briefly threatening. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5.5/1 -22%) Falling For You |
5.5/1(-22%) | (2) Falling For You 5.5/1, No Nay Never filly who showed some ability when fourth in a Windsor novice (33/1, 6f, good) on debut last month. Can take a step forward from that effort here. 33-1, moved into fourth of 12 late on at Windsor (6f, good); looks set for improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4/1 +20%) Sky Blaze |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Sky Blaze 4/1, Foaled April 2. 52,000 gns yearling, Intello filly. Sister to smart 1¼m-1¾m winner In Front and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m More Than A Dream. Dam unraced. Lots to like. 52,000gns yearling; sister to a smart French 1m2f-1m6f winner; in a leading yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (12/1 +0%) She Wore No Jewels |
12/1(+0%) | (10) She Wore No Jewels 12/1, Attracted support and offered something to work on when third in a Goodwood maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but shaped as if amiss when well held at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) subsequently. Had a near 7-week break and can get back on track. Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in June was promising but Doncaster (7f, good) in July less so. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (25/1 -56%) Shaws Phoenix |
25/1(-56%) | (9) Shaws Phoenix 25/1, Related to 3 winners and was doing her best work late when third at Bath on debut. Below that level at Newbury (6f, firm) since and not seen for 10 weeks. Promising on debut but disappointing next time; off ten weeks and 7f should help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (40/1 +0%) Bramble Jelly |
40/1(+0%) | (11) Bramble Jelly 40/1, Soldier's Call filly who looked one for the longer term when finishing down the field in a Newbury maiden (7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. 80-1 seventh of ten at Newbury (7f, soft) three weeks ago, on the heels of I Dare You. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7.5/1 +25%) I Dare You |
7.5/1(+25%) | (3) I Dare You 7.5/1, Showcasing filly who hinted at ability when mid-field in a Newbury maiden (7f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Will need to show plenty more to get involved. 28-1 at Newbury (7f, soft) three weeks ago, green and never dangerous in sixth of ten. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (12/1 +14%) Alika Breeze |
12/1(+14%) | (1) Alika Breeze 12/1, Foaled January 18. €50,000 foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful French/German 1¼m-2m winner Abadan and French 7f-10.5f winner Agent Excel. Dam French/German 1m-11f winner. 50,000gns yearling; 7th foal; half-sister to 4 winners, notably Abadan (1m2f-2m; RPR 98). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (9/1 +25%) Nothing To Fear |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Nothing To Fear 9/1, Foaled February 3. €47,000 yearling, Churchill filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Homeland and French 11.5f winner Some Romance and half-brother to very smart winner up to 6f Art Connoisseur. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. 47,000euros yearling; trainer has had a second-time-out 2yo win this term.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (150/1 -200%) Gone Like The Wind |
150/1(-200%) | (8) Gone Like The Wind 150/1, Half-sister to a couple of winners but far too green to show much on both starts so far. Looks a longer-term project. Two 6f races at Windsor recently, showing modest form on debut but not so good next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (50/1 -213%) La Sonnambula |
50/1(-213%) | (12) La Sonnambula 50/1, Foaled April 21. 16,000 gns yearling, Masar filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f Surfina and 5f winner Lucky Charm. Dam winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner). 16,000gns yearling by Masar; late foal; needs a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (8/1 +33%) L'experianza |
8/1(+33%) | (4) L'experianza 8/1, Foaled March 19. £40,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7.5f/8.5f winner, half-sister to smart 8.3f-1¼m winner Mashhoor. £40,000 yearling; trainer has had a 2yo turf debut winner this season but market can guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FALLING FOR YOU made a pleasing start to her racing career when finishing a far from disgraced fourth over 6f at Windsor last month. She shaped as though an extra furlong would aid her cause and, with progression likely, gets the vote at the main expense of the grade-dropping Romanova, who failed to get involved in Listed company at Sandown on her debut. The unraced Nothing To Fear is related to a few smart types and completes the shortlist.
Having been thrown in at listed level for her debut at Sandown 3 weeks ago, ROMANOVA unsurprisingly found things all too tough, but sure to have derived plenty from that initial effort, Ollie Sangster's filly is fancied to go close in much calmer waters. Newcomer Sky Blaze ticks plenty of boxes so she could emerge as the main threat, with Falling For You and La Sonnambula another couple to consider.
Slight preference is for FALLING FOR YOU after her promising debut at Windsor. Romanova ran in a Listed race on her debut.

1st (5) (7/1 +22%) Dreamrocker |
7/1(+22%) | (5) Dreamrocker 7/1, 50/1, encouraging debut sixth of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 23 days ago. This Fastnet Rock filly can build on it so needs shortlisting. Half-sister to Group 1 winner Dreamloper; 50-1, fair form at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7.5/1 -114%) Full Regalia |
7.5/1(-114%) | (6) Full Regalia 7.5/1, Failed to build on debut promise when fourth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 48 days ago on final run for John & Thady Gosden. Should still progress for new yard. Engaged 7.00 Kempton Wednesday. Debut (chance on that form) was the better of her two runs; left the Gosdens for 65,000gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (0.5/1 +50%) Welleef |
0.5/1(+50%) | (1) Welleef 0.5/1, Lope De Vega colt who looked a good prospect when landing 15-runner minor event (11/8) at Leicester (7f, soft) on his debut 15 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Crown Dreams. Sure to improve and big player despite conceding weight all round. 11-8 favourite at Leicester (7f, soft; 15 ran) and won comfortably from Crown Dreams. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Crown Dreams |
5.5/1(-38%) | (3) Crown Dreams 5.5/1, Oasis Dream gelding who has shown fair form this summer when second over 7f in maiden at Haydock and minor event at Leicester (behind Welleef). May do better so he can't be discounted. Second over 7f on both starts; has a 7lb pull with Leicester conqueror Welleef. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (150/1 -436%) Silver Atom |
150/1(-436%) | (2) Silver Atom 150/1, Modest maiden hurdler who had breathing operation/cheekpieces on before coming in eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago on his final run for Ben Pauling. Plenty more is needed starting out in this sphere now. Modest maiden hurdler for Ben Pauling; wind surgery before tailed off on latest outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (40/1 -122%) Solar Portrait |
40/1(-122%) | (4) Solar Portrait 40/1, 25,000 gns yearling, Zoffany gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1½m/12.2f winner Au Revoir out of useful 1m winner First. Market can guide for this newcomer. 25,000gns yearling buy, by Zoffany; dam unraced sister to 1m1f Listed winner. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A case can be made for several of these, but it is hard to oppose WELLEEF, who kept on well to score by two and a quarter lengths on his racecourse bow over this trip at Leicester. He does have to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, so Crown Dreams can give him plenty to think about having filled the runner-up spot on both career starts. Solar Portrait warrants a market check on his debut and is another to consider.
WELLEEF got off the mark in style at Leicester at the start of the month and can make light of a penalty to make it 2-2. Crown Dreams has filled the runner-up spot on both his outings, including behind the selection last time, and could have to settle for the same position once more, with Full Regalia also in the mix now starting out for Charlie Hills.
He's no standout on the bare form but WELLEEF started an eyecatchingly short price on his recent debut and won with authority.

1st (2) (3.33/1 +17%) Anglo Saxson |
3.33/1(+17%) | (2) Anglo Saxson 3.33/1, Successful reappearance at Yarmouth in May. 3/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Deserves plenty of credit for his consistency. Yarmouth win this May; three respectable shows since and he's considered in this weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (8.5/1 -13%) Roundabout Silver |
8.5/1(-13%) | (5) Roundabout Silver 8.5/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago, left poorly placed held up in a race in which with pacesetters didn't come back. Eased 2 lb and he's one to consider. Third of seven at Brighton on penultimate start was the best of four turf runs this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7.5/1 +0%) Island Of Skye |
7.5/1(+0%) | (6) Island Of Skye 7.5/1, Positive start to 2023 on the AW but took a backward step when sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, heavy). Off 124 days. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving George Margarson and drying ground may help his cause. Below form back on turf (1m2f, soft) in April and absent since; has left George Margarson. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6/1 -33%) Kalamunda |
6/1(-33%) | (9) Kalamunda 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in novice event at Newmarket (8f, good, 200/1) 27 days ago. Handicaps more suitable and he's a potential improver. No solid claims but going handicapping should offer a much more realistic chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (100/1 -100%) Volenti |
100/1(-100%) | (11) Volenti 100/1, 50/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Brighton (9.9f, good) 8 days ago. Sole win in July 2022; second this January (1m2f, AW) is the only positive note since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6.5/1 +46%) Mujid |
6.5/1(+46%) | (4) Mujid 6.5/1, Latest win at Windsor in July. 10/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 4 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces quickly removed. Won when cheekpieces went on at Windsor last month; below form in them there four days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (3/1 +50%) Eye Of The Water |
3/1(+50%) | (1) Eye Of The Water 3/1, Course winner who added to his tally at Bath in May. 6/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 8 days ago. Shortlist material eased slightly in grade. Won at Bath in May and placed in three of his five starts since, all over 1m; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (11/1 +8%) Millicent |
11/1(+8%) | (10) Millicent 11/1, One win (in C&D handicap) from 23 runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 10/1) 36 days ago, though she was denied a clear run. Back down in trip now. 23 races overall and her only start at Salisbury (1m, firm; last July) was her only win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (12/1 -140%) Boom Boom Pow |
12/1(-140%) | (8) Boom Boom Pow 12/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Kempton (7f) 50 days ago, driven clear. First run for yard after leaving Jo Davis and steps up further in trip. One to note. 2nd and 1st in June on her only two outings for Jo Davis; upset in stalls once in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (33/1 -50%) Rainbow Mirage |
33/1(-50%) | (3) Rainbow Mirage 33/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Windsor (6f, firm, 14/1) 46 days ago. Significantly up in trip and well weighted if she can revive. Yet to find her feet again this term; last seen over this far in February 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (28/1 -75%) Florence Street |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Florence Street 28/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 18/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 8 months but Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking. Off since December (won once last September); her notable turf runs were in 2021. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BOOM BOOM POW recorded a staying-on success over 7f at Kempton in June and a reproduction of that effort can see her firmly in the picture. She is rated 7lb higher for that success but, with the potential for more to come, can get the better of Eye Of The Water, who has to shoulder top-weight after a pleasing third at Bath most recently. The unexposed Kalamunda completes the shortlist.
EYE OF THE WATER stuck to his task really well when third in a deeper handicap than this last week and this previous course winner makes plenty of appeal. Anglo Saxson and Boom Boom Pow head the opposition.
The vote goes to an in-form candidate in EYE OF THE WATER, in a field which lacks solid options. Boom Boom Pow is next best.

1st (6) (0.91/1 +55%) Embesto |
0.91/1(+55%) | (6) Embesto 0.91/1, Made a taking debut at Yarmouth, then followed up in a novice at Doncaster despite being on the 'wrong' part of the track. Good second in listed event at Newmarket since and remains open to improvement. Listed 2nd; better is needed but he's a lightly raced 3yo who should still have potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (3/1 -9%) Mighty Ulysses |
3/1(-9%) | (3) Mighty Ulysses 3/1, Smart form last year, winning listed event at Newmarket and also a close fifth in St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. Below par last 2 starts but might have needed the run at Ascot after 11 months off 33 days ago. Worth another chance with headgear fitted. Possible excuses for sole run this term but connections also now turn to cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 -9%) Regal Reality |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Regal Reality 6/1, Has won a Group 3 every year since 2018, including this race in 2020 and 6-runner Diomed Stakes at Epsom in June. Has a 3 lb penalty for latter success but another bold bid is still on the cards. Won this race in 2020 (his only run at Salisbury) and should be bang there again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (20/1 +20%) Dancing Magic |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Dancing Magic 20/1, Remains a maiden but has been highly tried. This is another tough ask. 0-9; best when third in 1m Group 3 Craven at Newmarket in April; back from 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +7%) Chichester |
7/1(+7%) | (2) Chichester 7/1, Better than ever on AW over the winter and took form to another level when winning listed event at York in June. This tougher but still warrants respect. First run for yard after leaving Keith Dalgleish. Won 5-runner Listed race at York (1m, good to firm) in June, final run for Keith Dalgleish. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Regal Reality added another Group success to his CV when winning the Diomed at Epsom in June and the gelded son of Intello, a former winner of this contest in 2020, merits respect under his penalty. Chichester confirmed his well being with a comfortable victory at Listed level last time and is another to consider, though MIGHTY ULYSSES edges preference. The Gosdens' charge returned from an absence with a decent fifth in the Summer Mile at Ascot, but he can take a step forward in first-time cheekpieces.
MIGHTY ULYSSES has had excuses on his last 2 starts and looks the one to beat on his best form. Progressive 3-y-o Embesto has the most potential in the field so may emerge as the biggest threat with Regal Reality shouldering a 3 lb penalty.
This looks tight on 2023 form but POGO had better last season and gave a positive signal last time out, so he could be on his way back.

1st (5) (3.33/1 +52%) Mistral Star |
3.33/1(+52%) | (5) Mistral Star 3.33/1, Confirmed previous promise when winning 1¼m course novice in June. Bit disappointing when a remote fourth on her handicap debut back here (1¼m again) since. Now steps up to 1½m in a bid to get back on track. 1m2f handicap run here last time was tame, notwithstanding the soft ground; early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.62/1 +28%) Truthful |
1.62/1(+28%) | (1) Truthful 1.62/1, Looked a useful prospect when winning novices here (1¼m) and Haydock (11.5f) on first 2 starts. Bit disappointing when upped to listed level at Newmarket (1½m) last month but still early days and could resume her progression now handicapping. Her yard has won this race twice since 2019. Novice wins first two runs; second favourite, put firmly in her place in 1m4f Listed race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 +33%) Flash Bardot |
4/1(+33%) | (6) Flash Bardot 4/1, Career best when winning Epsom handicap (1½m) last month and has backed that up when placed at Newbury and Ascot since. Likely to give another good account. Brought out quickly when fair 3rd at Ascot; peak form (time before) gives her good shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (16/1 -78%) Alpina Express |
16/1(-78%) | (2) Alpina Express 16/1, Firmly on the up now when winning her first 3 handicaps. Her run of improvement came to an abrupt halt when last of 8 at Ascot last month but that was too bad to be true and her mark still looks workable judged on the form she showed when winning by 5 lengths at Windsor on her penultimate outing. Quickfire hat-trick in June in good style over 1m2f-11.4f; poor show at Ascot latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 -129%) Queen Regent |
4/1(-129%) | (3) Queen Regent 4/1, All 3 starts on AW, winning a 1m Newcastle novice in January and even better form when second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 months later, caught further back than ideal. Likely more to come now handicapping on turf. Makes handicap debut (withdrawn at Glorious Goodwood); could be capable of a lot better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (18/1 +0%) Flight Of Angels |
18/1(+0%) | (7) Flight Of Angels 18/1, Made all in handicap at Wetherby (1¼m) in June and has run to a similar level on all 3 outings since. Will need to pull out a bit more for the step up to 1½m 1m4f tempting given her sire but she needs to be more amenable to restraint than last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (25/1 +11%) Wilderness |
25/1(+11%) | (4) Wilderness 25/1, Course winner. Recent efforts respectable but surely vulnerable to at least a couple of the half dozen 3yos she takes on here. Goes very well at this track over 1m6f; not so good over 1m4f here on latest outing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having opened her account at Newcastle in February, QUEEN REGENT lost nothing in defeat when filling the runner-up spot under a penalty at Wolverhampton last month. A mark of 89 wouldn't appear to be a gift, but there is enough on the dam's side to suggest this step up in trip can suit, and she is open to more improvement than most. Truthful's unbeaten record came unstuck in a Listed contest at Newmarket, but she is of interest on handicap debut, while Mistral Star is also noted.
Although QUEEN REGENT's ability to handle turf has to be taken on trust she very much shapes like one who should have more to come now handicapping over further and is preferred to Truthful, who can get her career back on track with her sights lowered. The reliable Flash Bardot is another likely to be in the shake-up.
Handicap debutante QUEEN REGENT (nap) has not raced on turf or at 1m4f but her latest performance over 9.4f was brimful of promise.

1st (3) (2.25/1 +25%) Mantoog |
2.25/1(+25%) | (3) Mantoog 2.25/1, Plenty of promise first 2 starts and wasn't seen to best effect (caught wide) when only fifth in a novice at Chelmsford last time. Remains with potential but handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark. 2nd in the first two of 3 novice events; could be more interesting on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7.5/1 -114%) Monty Bay |
7.5/1(-114%) | (1) Monty Bay 7.5/1, Winner at Chepstow in June. Very good third of 12 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 7/1) 34 days ago, staying on well. Promises to be well suited by this longer trip and looks worth a chance to resume winning ways. Good third of 12 at York (1m) last time, shaping as if this extra 2f will be a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -33%) Orchestra |
12/1(-33%) | (4) Orchestra 12/1, Back on scoreboard at Beverley (9.9f) in May but hasn't really fired since and he looks vulnerable to less-exposed rivals. Cheekpieces go on. His form has slightly fallen away; visored on penultimate start and now tries cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Malka |
4.5/1(+0%) | (2) Malka 4.5/1, Showed plenty when third of 10 in minor event at Goodwood on debut in May and both subsequent efforts have contained promise. Likely improver on first try in handicaps. Best effort was here on second start; handicap debut and bred to be better than this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 -64%) Loughville |
9/1(-64%) | (7) Loughville 9/1, Brought along gradually last year but upped her game when a staying on second at Sandown on seasonal/handicap debut. Open to further progress and likely to feature. Close, never-nearer 2nd of six at Sandown (1m2f, soft) on h'cap, seasonal and turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/1 +0%) Ithaca's Arrow |
11/1(+0%) | (6) Ithaca's Arrow 11/1, Improved form when scoring on the AW at Lingfield in May but subsequent efforts have not been too inspiring. 1m4f AW novice win (made all) but has found it tough in three turf handicaps since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (2.5/1 +67%) Marie Laveau |
2.5/1(+67%) | (5) Marie Laveau 2.5/1, Fair form last season, shaping as if a step up to this trip will suit. Slight concern that she's out so late in the campaign, but could feature on handicap debut if tuned up after 8 months off. Pipped in novice events on her last two starts as 2yo; bred to be suited by at least 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -100%) Cochin |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Cochin 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden who took a backward step on debut for this stable over C&D last time. Left with a bit to prove. Well held in her nursery; tailed off at 33-1 over C&D (soft) on seasonal/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MANTOOG showed plenty across her three runs to date, perhaps most notably when narrowly denied by the now 90-rated Truthful (engaged to run in the 4.40) over C&D in May. It looked another decent novice in which she competed at Chelmsford last time, and the handicapper might have underestimated her with an opening mark of 77. Monty Bay hit the frame over 1m at York last month and he is an obvious candidate upped in trip. Malka can chase them home.
MONTY BAY is going the right way and has been shaping like a step up to this trip will bring more out of him, so he's marginally preferred to Loughville, who was staying on well when an improved second at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Mantoog is also worthy of respect.
The promising late gains made by LOUGHVILLE over 1m2f at Sandown on her reappearance earn her the vote in an interesting field.
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.

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.
