Lequinto |
(1) (13/8 +7%)13/8(+7%) | (1) Lequinto 13/8, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Attracted support and shaped well when third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there eased in class. On much reduced mark and was an eyecatching third at Lingfield last week; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Classy Clarets |
(6) (9/2 -35%)9/2(-35%) | (6) Classy Clarets 9/2, Hooded for first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (5.1f, 11/2) 23 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid back up in trip. Made breakthrough when scoring with hood added here last month; respected back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Royal Musketeer |
(3) (5/1 +64%)5/1(+64%) | (3) Royal Musketeer 5/1, 8/1, last of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft). Off 118 days and below winning mark if he's fully tuned for this. Went close at Newmarket on penultimate run; needs watching in market back from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Em Jay Kay |
(2) (7/1 -8%)7/1(-8%) | (2) Em Jay Kay 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 44 days ago. Back up in trip and he's likely to give it another good go. Won over C&D in November before a fair fifth over 5f next time; respected back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Not Just Yet |
(9) (11/1 -47%)11/1(-47%) | (9) Not Just Yet 11/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Needs everything to fall right. 1-24 but he's had a couple of close calls over C&D for his new yard; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Professor Tickle |
(8) (12/1 +52%)12/1(+52%) | (8) Professor Tickle 12/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 33 days ago. Down to a tempting mark if he can bounce back with usual blinkers left off. Has struggled at Lingfield last twice and he needs a major revival back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Good Karma |
(10) (14/1 +30%)14/1(+30%) | (10) Good Karma 14/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago. Has tumbled down the weights but he's been laboured in both runs for new yard; passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hallowed Time |
(4) (18/1 -29%)18/1(-29%) | (4) Hallowed Time 18/1, Finally opened his account at Chester in September. 16/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 74 days ago. Well held in final two runs in the autumn and he's 0-7 on AW; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Haworth Star |
(7) (66/1 -100%)66/1(-100%) | (7) Haworth Star 66/1, Winner at Newcastle in September. Eighth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7.2f) 46 days ago, proving too free. Down the field in both runs for new yard and he's now 1-13; others are more convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kipp Kelly |
(11) (125/1 -89%)125/1(-89%) | (11) Kipp Kelly 125/1, Last of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago. Lots to prove at present despite tumbling mark. Nine-race maiden who has finished ahead of only two rivals in his five handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LEQUINTO went into plenty of notebooks when finishing a never-nearer third at Lingfield six days ago. The veteran was denied a clear run at a crucial point and, granted some better luck, compensation could be on the cards. A first-time hood appeared to improve 5f track scorer Classy Clarets last month and he isn't taken lightly now nudged up 3lb in the handicap. C&D winner Em Jay Kay is also worth a second look.
LEQUINTO shaped well when third in a better handicap than this at Lingfield last week and he's of strong interest down in class. Em Jay Kay and Classy Clarets head the opposition.
The vote goes to LEQUINTO, who is on a much reduced mark and didn't get any luck when an eyecatching third at Lingfield last Tuesday.

Radiant Beauty |
(3) (13/8 +35%)13/8(+35%) | (3) Radiant Beauty 13/8, Winner at Kempton in August. and right back to form away from soft ground when excellent second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Up 3 lb but has to be taken seriously. Still lightly raced and she got back on track with a near miss over C&D latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Samra Star |
(2) (9/4 +55%)9/4(+55%) | (2) Samra Star 9/4, Different proposition when making second start here a winning one over 9.5f in August. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 11/2) 60 days ago, slowly away. Hood on first time. Unexposed 4yo and she could find more progress with hood added; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Enola Grey |
(1) (5/1 -150%)5/1(-150%) | (1) Enola Grey 5/1, Three wins from 23 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (7.2f, 7/2) 16 days ago, overcoming positional bias in the process. Step back up in trip no issue and 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Came from last to first when winning here (7f) latest; big player again back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jazzy Angel |
(4) (7/1 -17%)7/1(-17%) | (4) Jazzy Angel 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 17/2) 35 days ago, though that was in a deeper race than this. Significantly back up in trip. Dual course winner who had excuses when dropped to 6f last time; dangerous back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Noisy Music |
(5) (8/1 -33%)8/1(-33%) | (5) Noisy Music 8/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. Looks weighted near best off this mark but she's reliable and should go well again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having scored a shade cosily over 7f here last time out, ENOLA GREY looks more than capable of defying a 2lb higher mark. A return to an extended mile should pose little issue for Gemma Tutty's mare and, dropping in class, she rates as the one to beat. Radiant Beauty arrives on the back of a narrow C&D defeat and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of the lightly-raced Samra Star.
ENOLA GREY was arguably value for extra given she was held up in a steadily-run race when successful over 7.2f here a fortnight ago and a 2 lb rise should be within range. A case of sorts can be made for each of these, with Radiant Beauty and Jazzy Angel feared most.
It's hard to rule out any of these but recent course winner ENOLA GREY gets the vote ahead of Radiant Beauty.

Orangesandlemons |
(4) (15/8 -25%)15/8(-25%) | (4) Orangesandlemons 15/8, Promising sort. 8/11, second of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago, running on. Remains open to improvement and she should make a bold bid to go one better here. Runner-up at Newcastle in both her starts and she sets the standard; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sweet Couture |
(2) (7/2 +42%)7/2(+42%) | (2) Sweet Couture 7/2, Thrice-raced filly. Third of 14 in novice (7/1) at Kempton (8f) 26 days ago, having run of race. Drop back to 7f probably no bad thing and solid each-way chance but she is starting to look a shade exposed. Reached the frame in all three runs and she made a bold bid over 1m latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Song Of Dubai |
(6) (5/1 +0%)5/1(+0%) | (6) Song Of Dubai 5/1, Iffraaj filly. Dam, useful winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to smart winner up to 10.3f Banditry. Represents a respected yard and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Out of a useful 1m-1m2f AW winner; interesting newcomer and she needs a close look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ariri |
(7) (7/1 +56%)7/1(+56%) | (7) Ariri 7/1, £3,000 yearling, Cable Bay filly. Sister to 5.7f/6f winner Tyger Bay. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Broche. Jockey bookings suggest that Song of Dubai is the stable first-string. Sister to prolific sprint winner; stablemate of Song Of Dubai and needs watching in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quick To Decide |
(5) (9/1 +44%)9/1(+44%) | (5) Quick To Decide 9/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 8/1) on debut. Off 147 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Remote eighth on Kempton debut in August and is opposable on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Grey Phoenix |
(3) (16/1 +0%)16/1(+0%) | (3) Grey Phoenix 16/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at this course (8.6f) on debut 17 days ago. Will be of greater interest when handicapping further down the line. Half-sister to five winners but was well held at 40-1 on debut here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sixteen One |
(11) (16/1 -78%)16/1(-78%) | (11) Sixteen One 16/1, Thrice-raced filly. Sixth of 10 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f, 14/1) 18 days ago. Like stablemate Sweet Couture, she looks vulnerable for win purposes. Went very close on Leicester debut but she's taken two backward steps since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Phrygia |
(1) (20/1 -43%)20/1(-43%) | (1) Phrygia 20/1, 26,000 gns foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to useful Italian winner up to 7f Calajunco. Sports a hood for this debut, which is a slight worry, but she's one to note in the betting all the same. Yard also saddles Quick To Decide. 50,000gns yearling; hood is applied on debut and this looks a tough starting point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dixie's Delight |
(8) (33/1 0%)33/1(0%) | (8) Dixie's Delight 33/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (25/1) on debut 21 days ago. Opposable. Well held on C&D debut last month and has a lot to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Holywell Bay |
(9) (250/1 -279%)250/1(-279%) | (9) Holywell Bay 250/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (8f, 125/1) on debut 18 days ago. Readily passed over. Tailed off at 125-1 on Chelmsford debut (1m, AW) last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ORANGESANDLEMONS has done little wrong in her two runner-up efforts at Newcastle to date and a breakthrough victory looks imminent. Ed Bethell's filly ticks plenty of the right boxes and she can repel chief threat Sweet Couture, who only gave way in the closing stages when third over a mile at Kempton so a return to 7f is probably in her favour. Song Of Dubai looks the pick of the newcomers and a market check is advised.
Though ORANGESANDLEMONS failed to land the odds at Newcastle recently having shaped with plenty of promise on debut there in November, she is probably capable of better and this looks like a good opportunity for the Edward Bethell-trained filly to get off the mark. Newcomer Song of Dubai could be the one for the forecast, given that George Boughey's duo Sweet Couture and Sixteen One are both starting to look a shade exposed.
Preference is for ORANGESANDLEMONS who has shown plenty of promise with her two runner-up efforts at Newcastle and sets the standard.

Royal Zabeel |
(5) (6/4 +57%)6/4(+57%) | (5) Royal Zabeel 6/4, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 4/1) 23 days ago. More needed again up 6 lb but this will be just his third start for the Michael Appleby yard and he may well have more to offer. Two good performances for shrewd new connections, winning at Southwell latest; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bobby Bennu |
(2) (10/3 -21%)10/3(-21%) | (2) Bobby Bennu 10/3, Three wins from 7 runs last year. 15/8 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 54 days ago, always holding on. 3 lb nudge fair enough and he has to enter calculations. Took well to hood at Lingfield last time; headgear now removed but he is progressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brewing |
(3) (9/2 +0%)9/2(+0%) | (3) Brewing 9/2, 5/2, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 18 days ago. Now tried in blinkers and he will be a threat if the headgear helps eke out some improvement. Now only 1lb above last winning mark; possibilities if aided by new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Havanagreattime |
(6) (15/2 -7%)15/2(-7%) | (6) Havanagreattime 15/2, Two wins from 5 runs last year, the latest at Lingfield in December. 9/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and shouldn't be far away if he takes to this surface. Has the ability to figure, especially granted ideal tactics (3-3 when able to dominate). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Golden Mind |
(1) (12/1 -50%)12/1(-50%) | (1) Golden Mind 12/1, 40/1, respectable 5½ lengths fifth of 12 to Night Raider in listed race at Newcastle (6f) 51 days ago. Looks vulnerable under top-weight back in handicap company. Useful on his day but likely needs a career-best performance to defy top weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Street Kid |
(7) (22/1 -83%)22/1(-83%) | (7) Street Kid 22/1, Three-time C&D winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 12/1) 18 days ago. Has slipped to an attractive mark and he's dangerous to discount. Could revive back at Wolverhampton; has form figures of 7112441 over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brasil Power |
(8) (22/1 -10%)22/1(-10%) | (8) Brasil Power 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in August. 17/2, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago. Others make more appeal on this occasion. Effective on AW but finished last of 11 in C&D event most recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Society Man |
(4) (33/1 -267%)33/1(-267%) | (4) Society Man 33/1, 53/10, ninth of 11 in minor event at Compiegne (7f, heavy) when last seen 7 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Fabrice Chappet and the market should be a guide in terms of expectations. Three turf wins in France; betting may prove best guide on British debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
BOBBY BENNU showed a liking for a first-time hood when scoring by a length at Lingfield in November and he is only 3lb higher. Roger Varian's four-year-old could take another step forward in order to score off a career-high mark. Royal Zabeel comfortably made his second start for the Mick Appleby stable a victorious one at Southwell and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off 6lb higher. Of the remainder, Brewing makes the most appeal.
The manner of ROYAL ZABEEL's Southwell success last month suggested that his best days are still ahead of him and he is taken defy a 6 lb rise in the weights by following up here. Fellow last-time-out scorer Bobby Bennu is likely to offer stern resistance, while Brewing will also be a threat if responding well to the new headgear. Havanagreattime is another to consider.
Southwell winner ROYAL ZABEEL looks the type to rack up a sequence and is first choice ahead of Bobby Bennu.

(7) (3/1 +14%)3/1(+14%) | (7) Fools Rush In 3/1, Course winner. 12/1, won 12-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 9 days ago, making all. Well drawn to attack again and a 2 lb rise may not stop him. Successful at Southwell nine days ago and remains well treated on historical data. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mesaafi |
(1) (4/1 -33%)4/1(-33%) | (1) Mesaafi 4/1, Good second of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 2/1) 84 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Can give a good account. Largely consistent maiden for Charlie Fellowes; solid effort here on last appearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Where's Freddy |
(2) (4/1 +20%)4/1(+20%) | (2) Where's Freddy 4/1, Latest win at Newmarket in July. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 10/3) 32 days ago, finishing with running left. Makes tapeta debut. Considered. Ran encouragingly in difficult circumstances at Chelmsford last month; likely player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circles |
(10) (7/1 +7%)7/1(+7%) | (10) Circles 7/1, C&D winner. 9/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 2 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Irish mare; scored over C&D this time last year; ran encouragingly here on Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Havana Force |
(3) (17/2 -143%)17/2(-143%) | (3) Havana Force 17/2, Career best when winning 9-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago, although was suited by the way the race developed and will need another career best to follow up off 7 lb higher. Opened her account with 3l success over C&D last month in a race that set up nicely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Caribbean |
(4) (14/1 +44%)14/1(+44%) | (4) The Caribbean 14/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 15 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others are more obvious. Far from solid on 2024 form; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Harbour Vision |
(8) (18/1 -29%)18/1(-29%) | (8) Harbour Vision 18/1, Eight-time course winner, including twice over this trip in November. Didn't see it out over 8.6f here last week and treated as if still in form. Won his last two attempts over C&D but this looks a stiffer assignment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Evocative Spark |
(6) (28/1 -12%)28/1(-12%) | (6) Evocative Spark 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 28/1, last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago. Bounce back needed. Not certain to show his form, having failed to beat a rival last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eden Storm |
(5) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (5) Eden Storm 33/1, C&D winner. 66/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 9 days ago. Difficult ask. Lost his form in 2024, latterly for new yard; similar type to The Caribbean. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Flatley |
(9) (50/1 -100%)50/1(-100%) | (9) Flatley 50/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Needs to step up on recent efforts. Three-time winner at this venue but has a doubt over current form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HAVANA FORCE picked her way through the field to run out a three-length victor over track and trip on her latest outing and her confidence will be boosted now that she has got her head in front. The daughter of Havana Grey can defy her 7lb rise and complete a double. Fools Rush In returned to winning ways at Southwell and should remain competitive off 2lb higher, while Mesaafi is another to keep an eye on.
FOOLS RUSH IN was only nudged up 2 lb for his recent Southwell win and may be able to follow up. Where's Freddy wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford last month and is a possible threat under Sean Levey, who is often a good booking for the Stuart Williams stable. Mesaafi ended his time for Charlie Fellowes with 3 creditable placed efforts on AW (including C&D) and is also respected starting out for Simon Pearce.
Granted better luck, WHERE'S FREDDY may well be the answer back down in grade. Havana Force is second choice.

Big player if he can build on that. Four wins over C&D and 14lb below last winning mark; respected if this is truly run. |

Maharajas Express |
(5) (5/2 +58%)5/2(+58%) | (5) Maharajas Express 5/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, heavy, 9/1) 77 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Patrick Morris. Cheekpieces back on. C&D winner now 9lb below last winning mark; worth monitoring in market on stable debut. |

Apache Star |
(7) (10/1 -54%)10/1(-54%) | (7) Apache Star 10/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Second at Bath in October and possibly needed first run since when sixth of 12 over 6f here 10 days ago. Blinkers on first time. One of the more likely types. Losing run now up to 14 and he may prefer a stiffer test than this; blinkers on. |

THISMYDREAM finished fifth in this grade at Chelmsford in September and competes off a 1lb lower rating. With a plum draw in stall one, he could regain the winning thread. Gustav Graves' four C&D victories include this contest 12 months ago and he showed a little more when fifth at Newcastle last week, while Alafdhal is also a player based on his third at Lingfield two starts ago.
Last year's winner GUSTRAV GRAVES showed better signs at Newcastle last Thursday and is given a chance to build on that as he's dipped to 14 lb below the mark he defied at Newcastle last March. Basholo knows where the winning post is here and is second choice ahead of Apache Star, who might have just needed it back from a short break here over Christmas.
The vote goes to GUSTAV GRAVES off an enticing mark. There were encouraging signs in a better race at Newcastle last Thursday.

Muhalhel |

Stable has a good record at this track, so he's worthy of interest in a weak race. Just 2-35, though latest win came off this mark over C&D in April; worth a second look. |

The Resdev Way |
(4) (15/2 -88%)15/2(-88%) | (4) The Resdev Way 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 6/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (14f) 46 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes most appeal in a weak event. Won over 1m6f here in November, but rarely seen over a trip this short these days. |

Virtual Hug |
(2) (8/1 -33%)8/1(-33%) | (2) Virtual Hug 8/1, C&D winner. 14/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Drops in grade and can't be dismissed. 3lb lower than for the latest of two wins over C&D early last year; one for the shortlist. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
MUHALHEL hinted at a return to form with a respectable effort at Dundalk last time out, and stepping back up in trip seems like a big plus. A winner over C&D in April off this mark, the seven-year-old looks primed to go close again, with fellow track-and-trip scorers Starfighter and The Resdev Way looking best placed to chase him home. Ocean Ridge and Virtual Hug, also successful over C&D, enter the reckoning as well.
Having scored here in November, THE RESDEV WAY wasn't seen to best effect on his only subsequent start so, after a short break, he's worth chancing in this decidedly weak contest. Muhalhel deserves plenty of respect having taken a positive step last time and Virtual Hug can't be ruled out.
Slight peference is for three-time course winner STARFIGHTER who drops into a 0-52 for the first time

Should get the trip and boasts definite claims under a penalty if the race doesn't come too soon. Big improvement with his shock win here (9.4f) on Saturday; key player under a penalty. |

High Court Judge |
(7) (2/1 +43%)2/1(+43%) | (7) High Court Judge 2/1, Course winner. 66/1, seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Windsor (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Ran creditably on last Flat outing and is unexposed over this far. Tailed off on hurdling debut latest but was placed on AW (1m4f) before that; in the mix. |

Wannabeawallaby |

Enzos Angel |
(2) (8/1 -60%)8/1(-60%) | (2) Enzos Angel 8/1, Course winner. 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Mark is sliding and there was a bit more encouragement last time. His last win was off this mark but he's lost his way and needs a major revival. |

Smokey Malone |

Walk The Moon |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This can go the way of HIGH COURT JUDGE, who didn't show much in a spin over hurdles at Windsor last month but ran with plenty of credit over this distance at Southwell on his penultimate outing. James Owen's charge may have too much for Enzos Angel, who is still feared on the rise in trip. Smokey Malone has dropped to a mark 8lb below his last success so has to be considered, while Desiderata would come right into the reckoning if turning up after Saturday's shock triumph here.
DESIDERATA caused a shock when scoring on his first outing for this yard at the weekend and, despite the very quick turnaroud, he's worth a chance to follow up under a penalty, with most of his rivals out of form. Wannabeawallaby and Enzos Angel have both slipped in the weights and shaped as if back in form last time, so they can be considered serious dangers.
The lightly raced 5yo DESIDERATA was an easy winner here on Saturday and may well be able to defy a penalty back in a handicap.

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.
