1st (5) (16/1 -129%) Captain Dandy |
16/1(-129%) | (5) Captain Dandy 16/1, C&D winner and scored at Thirsk in September. 15/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) when last seen. Off 6 months but wouldn't be without a chance if raring to go. Two wins last year including over C&D; back from 191 days off and market should guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (12/1 -100%) Coast |
12/1(-100%) | (9) Coast 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago. Front-running third over C&D last Monday and has claims if she can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 +25%) Midnightattheoasis |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Midnightattheoasis 9/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 16/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. In the frame on Tapeta in last three runs and he should go well again back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (6/1 -20%) Mumcat |
6/1(-20%) | (7) Mumcat 6/1, Course winner. 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Respected. Infrequent winner but she's been placed on Tapeta in last three runs; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (10/11 +48%) Blue Collar Lad |
10/11(+48%) | (3) Blue Collar Lad 10/11, 9/4, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner C&D handicap 37 days ago, unchallenged. Well supported that day and another bold showing is expected. Easy win when justifying favouritism over C&D last time; major player again off 7lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (22/1 -10%) Elladora |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Elladora 22/1, 33/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. 1-14 on AW and she's finished down the field on Tapeta in three runs for her new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 -79%) Alainn Tu |
25/1(-79%) | (10) Alainn Tu 25/1, C&D winner. 25/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, never nearer. Something to find on form. Fair fourth over C&D last Saturday but she's now 1-19 and is not easy to predict. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (18/1 +10%) Protest Rally |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Protest Rally 18/1, Won at Southwell in May. Off 158 days. Might need this. Well held in both runs for current yard and has something to prove after 158 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 -57%) Louis Treize |
22/1(-57%) | (8) Louis Treize 22/1, Tricky customer. C&D winner. 25/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 20 days ago, merely closing up late. Quirky type who can blow the start but he's on a dangerous mark and is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (125/1 -279%) Banana |
125/1(-279%) | (11) Banana 125/1, Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Sixth of 8 in minor event (33/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 18 days ago. Inconsistent 28-race maiden who faded at Southwell last time; opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
From a handy draw and, with last month's course and distance success being well advertised by three subsequent winners, BLUE COLLAR LAD is hard to ignore despite being on a 7lb higher mark. The consistent Mumcat may be the one to give the selection the most to think about, although Coast is 2lb below her last winning mark and, as a likely pace angle, can also go well with Luke Morris back in the saddle.
BLUE COLLAR LAD beat a couple of next-time-out winners when landing a gamble over C&D 5 weeks ago and can defy a 7 lb rise. All In The Hips and Mumcat are feared.
This can go to BLUE COLLAR LAD, who won by 3l off a reduced mark over C&D last month and remains well treated on his best form.

1st (9) (12/1 +25%) Lady Lightning |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Lady Lightning 12/1, Foaled February 15. 30,000 gns foal, 30,000 gns yearling, Earthlight filly. Closely related to 11f winner Watch My Six and half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Lady Iffraaj and 2-y-o 1¼m winner Free Speech. Not an obvious early first-time-up winner on paper. Has quite a lot of stamina in her pedigree and she looks one for longer trips later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/2 +0%) Ashen Glow |
9/2(+0%) | (7) Ashen Glow 9/2, Foaled January 30. 35,000 gns yearling, Earthlight filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 6f Louis Treize and 6f-9f winner Nevile Chamberlain. One to take seriously on debut. January foal; plenty to like on paper and she's an interesting newcomer for in-form yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/8 +72%) Ellomate |
11/8(+72%) | (2) Ellomate 11/8, Foaled February 15. £35,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful sprinter Dave Dexter. Murphy up and one to note. Half-brother to three 2yo winners and he needs watching in market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/1 -157%) Far Above Mary |
9/1(-157%) | (8) Far Above Mary 9/1, Foaled February 8. £32,000 yearling, Far Above filly. Dam maiden half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Beacon. Fourth of 7 in novice (5/1) at Southwell (5f) on debut 8 days ago. Should improve but needs to. Shaped with promise at Southwell and she should be more streetwise this time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (5/1 -50%) Cheerleader |
5/1(-50%) | (10) Cheerleader 5/1, Foaled January 24. 12,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Tomorrow's Dream. Early filly and first 2-y-o runner of 2024 for yard that had a very strong juvenile squad last season. Yard 21% with 2yos last year and market should guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 -10%) Hashtagnotions |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Hashtagnotions 11/1, Foaled April 1. 23,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Shumookhi and 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Chinese Knot. Dam unraced. Bred to be sharp and one to consider. 23,000gns half-brother to a 5f 2yo Listed winner; market should be informative on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (17/2 +47%) Al Hussar |
17/2(+47%) | (1) Al Hussar 17/2, Foaled February 20. 30,000 gns yearling, half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Royal Charter (2-y-o 6f winner) and winner up to 1m Old News (2-y-o 6f/7f winner) out of unraced half-sister to Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf winner Queen's Trust. Appealing on paper. Could be a longer-term prospect on pedigree and others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (125/1 -150%) Rosco Rogers |
125/1(-150%) | (5) Rosco Rogers 125/1, Foaled March 30. 2,000 gns yearling, Ribchester colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Rosay out of useful winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f/6f winner) Petit Calva. 2,000gns yearling; others look more likely types and he's best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Majestic Heights and Far Above Mary are the only ones with previous experience and, while neither sets the bar very high, both are entitled to be wiser and can make their presence felt. However, this can go to one of the newcomers, with the vote going to HASHTAGNOTIONS, who is a half-brother to the Listed-winning juvenile Shumookhi. Cheerleader and Ashen Glow are others to monitor in the betting.
As ever the betting will be revealing and this could be a good novice for the grade, newcomers ASHEN GLOW, Cheerleader and Sir Geoff Morgan the three against the field before market clues.
This looks tricky but the vote goes to FAR ABOVE MARY who shaped with promise at Southwell and should improve for that experience.

1st (1) (11/4 +50%) Kitty Foyle |
11/4(+50%) | (1) Kitty Foyle 11/4, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/2) 25 days ago. Has a race in her judged on previous second here and one to note back up in trip with Murphy booked. 0-8 but she went close here on penultimate run and looks worth another try at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +73%) Theonlywayiswessex |
11/4(+73%) | (2) Theonlywayiswessex 11/4, Won twice on AW last year. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (14f, 14/1) 103 days ago. Work to do. Dual 1m4f winner but was well held over C&D in final run last year; some risks attached. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/4 +44%) Lawmans Blis |
9/4(+44%) | (4) Lawmans Blis 9/4, Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner C&D handicap (9/4) 23 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. This is tougher up 4 lb. Resurgent 6yo who has won over C&D in two of last three runs; should make another bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 +25%) Chagall |
9/2(+25%) | (6) Chagall 9/2, Four wins from 17 runs last year. Bit below form third of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Player if he stays. His form dipped at Doncaster last time and he's untried at this trip; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (22/1 -100%) Zillion |
22/1(-100%) | (8) Zillion 22/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Multiple turf winner but he's 0-11 on AW and was well held at Southwell on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (50/1 -127%) Tidal Storm |
50/1(-127%) | (5) Tidal Storm 50/1, 13/2 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 54 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Harry Derham. Sole win was in August 2022 and he's struggled under both codes in last six runs; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 -56%) Myboymax |
25/1(-56%) | (7) Myboymax 25/1, Eleven runs since last win (over C&D) in 2022. Off 6 months. Might need it. On a dangerous mark back at the scene of his last win and he needs checking in market. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It is difficult to see beyond the hat-trick seeking TAMARIS, who has been found a good opportunity to extend his winning run. Having scored with plenty in hand on his debut for the James Owen yard over an extended 2m here last week, the selection has little to fear stepping back down in trip and must be considered under just a 4lb penalty. Lawmans Blis is up 4lb after his C&D success and commands respect, while the well-handicapped Zillion is dangerous to ignore.
TAMARIS won with a bit to spare over the extended 2m here last week and can make it 2-2 for James Owen. Jack Jones has an interesting pair in Kitty Foyle and Chagall and they are respected.
This can go to the hat-trick seeking TAMARIS, who had plenty in hand here last week and looks well treated under a penalty.

1st (1) (9/2 +0%) Per Contra |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Per Contra 9/2, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Chepstow (7.1f) before completing a simple task under a penalty at Ffos Las (7.4f). Stiff task in the Autumn Stakes final start and remains with potential upped in trip as 3-y-o campaign begins. Won last summer on first two starts; then well beaten in a Group 3 but remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8/1 -45%) Dunstan |
8/1(-45%) | (3) Dunstan 8/1, C&D winner. 4/1, career best when getting the 4-timer up in 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 26 days ago, battling well. Pitched into a much deeper contest now. 4-4 in this visor; hasn't been winning by far but he's climbing the weights only slowly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/4 +59%) Al Mootamarid |
9/4(+59%) | (2) Al Mootamarid 9/4, 200,000 gns half-brother to several winners, including top-class winner up to 1½m Golden Horn. Much improved when winning 9-runner novice at Chelmsford (10f, 20/1) 149 days ago, making all. Bred to do even better this year, with this longer trip sure to suit. Made all last time (1m2f, AW); this half-brother to Golden Horn could continue to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (25/1 -194%) Mach Ten |
25/1(-194%) | (5) Mach Ten 25/1, Raced just once for Andrew Balding and unable to advance his form for Karl Burke, spending most of the race off the bridle when sixth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft, 9/1) 15 days ago. Hard to fancy. Has shown promise; gelded prior to last time, and needs to improve a bundle for that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/4 -37%) Ville Natale |
5/4(-37%) | (4) Ville Natale 5/4, Nathaniel filly from the family of very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Zambezi Sun. Improved again when winning 7-runner novice at Chelmsford (10f, 4/7) 78 days ago, making all with plenty in hand. That is good form (second and third promising) and more to come up in trip from this Oaks entry. Oaks entry who easily made all at Chelmsford last time and could continue to progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
PER CONTRA struggled in Group 3 company on his final start as a juvenile but his previous form suggests that he could be hard to beat on his handicap bow off a mark of 88. The progressive Dunstan has to be of interest having won four times this year already, although this will require further improvement. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Ville Natale is just the pick of them.
A good 3-y-o handicap with VILLE NATALE the obvious first port of call. She's in the Oaks and looks well treated for her handicap debut up in trip, with the form of her Chelmsford win working out. Al Mootamarid, a half-brother to Golden Horn, and Per Contra are dangerous.
Oaks entry VILLE NATALE easily made all in a 1m2f novice at Chelmsford in January and is open to further improvement now up in trip.

1st (1) (11/8 +61%) Laoisman |
11/8(+61%) | (1) Laoisman 11/8, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4). Off 6 months but highly respected on his tapeta debut. Ended last season with two 6f wins and he's open to more progress this term; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +22%) Habooba |
7/2(+22%) | (5) Habooba 7/2, Winner at Lingfield in December. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy is a plus so should continue to give a good account. Close third off same mark over C&D last time and she's in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/2 -33%) New Image |
5/2(-33%) | (2) New Image 5/2, Promising Frankel gelding. First run since leaving Ger Lyons when landing 8-runner maiden at Southwell (5f) 23 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so big shout on his handicap debut. Clearcut win in Southwell maiden on his comeback and opening mark looks fair; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 -27%) Seven Brothers |
14/1(-27%) | (7) Seven Brothers 14/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Not discounted. Last win was in 2022 but he was placed off this career-low mark last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -238%) Bora Bora |
22/1(-238%) | (6) Bora Bora 22/1, Course winner. 6/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 33 days ago. Shortlisted. Missed 2023 but he's been placed at 6f in last two of three runs for new yard; dangerous. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (20/1 -122%) Gustav Graves |
20/1(-122%) | (3) Gustav Graves 20/1, 5-time course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 12/1) 16 days ago, not seen to best effect. Up in trip. Needs considering. Five 5f wins since December but he's finished seventh at Newcastle in last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (22/1 -193%) Beauzon |
22/1(-193%) | (4) Beauzon 22/1, 5-time C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 7/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Four wins over C&D in January/February but was well held in a Class 4 at Lingfield latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NEW IMAGE won well on his debut for these connections over 5f at Southwell last month and the son of Frankel merits the utmost respect on his handicap bow here. The hat-trick seeking Laoisman is another with strong form claims, although the 195-day break has to be a slight concern. Others who make the shortlist are Bora Bora, Habooba and Seven Brothers.
None of these can be ruled out but NEW IMAGE emphatically landed a Southwell maiden last time out and looks to have got in lightly for his handicap bow. Habooba rates the main threat to David O'Meara's son of Frankel with multiple C&D scorer Beauzon, Bora Bora and Seven Brothers all in the mix too.
The vote goes to the unexposed 4yo NEW IMAGE, who won at Southwell on his comeback and looks on a fair mark for this handicap debut.

1st (4) (11/4 +66%) Pjanoo |
11/4(+66%) | (4) Pjanoo 11/4, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (8f). Off 179 days and needs to hit the ground running. On dangerous mark and he went close on seasonal return last year; one to keep an eye on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (6/1 -71%) Dawn Of Liberation |
6/1(-71%) | (2) Dawn Of Liberation 6/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip so not discounted. Two fair efforts for new yard this year and he shouldn't be far away back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/2 +0%) Master Of Combat |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Master Of Combat 11/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win here in December. 8/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt. Triple course winner who has finished placed at Southwell in last two starts; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 -106%) Initio |
33/1(-106%) | (7) Initio 33/1, Course winner. Winner here in October. 10/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Hood back on with more required. Still lightly raced but he needs to find more progress at this new trip; hood back on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 +26%) Borgi |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Borgi 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 15/2, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago. In the picture. Record of 121211 on Tapeta and he scored at Southwell on his penultimate run; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/1 -75%) King Of York |
7/1(-75%) | (8) King Of York 7/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. 2/1, good fourth of 8 in handicap there (8.1f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Bold showing is on the cards eased 1 lb. Has a very solid record since December and he should be in the thick of things again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8/1 -45%) Akkadian Thunder |
8/1(-45%) | (3) Akkadian Thunder 8/1, Kempton 1m novice winner before posting a solid third of 6 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 8/13) 6 months ago on his final run for Roger Varian. Much respected on his handicap debut. Unexposed handicap newcomer and he needs a close look on his stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (16/1 -14%) Visibility |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Visibility 16/1, 5-time course winner who recorded a respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago. Needs considering. Eight-time AW winner but he hasn't been at the top of his game recently; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -180%) Harbour Vision |
28/1(-180%) | (9) Harbour Vision 28/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 8/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 9 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Two course wins this year but his form nosedived last time; one of three runners for yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DAWN OF LIBERATION has performed with credit in defeat on both of his starts for this yard, most recently finding 7f too sharp at Southwell last time and, stepping up in trip and eased 1lb, he has strong claims in a race of this nature. Akkadian Thunder won cosily on his penultimate start and he has standout claims on that form, but punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with him after his laboured effort at Newcastle when last seen. Borgi should find this company more manageable than when finishing down the field in a higher grade at Lingfield most recently, but he won over 1m at Southwell the time before and he is respected today off a 2lb higher mark.
KING OF YORK didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Southwell last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark here. C&D winner Master of Combat heads the list of dangers, although handicap debutant Akkadian Thunder is not taken lightly either in a competitive handicap.
Top of the list is BORGI (nap), who is 4-6 on Tapeta and is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Southwell on his penultimate run.

Ravenglass |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Port Noir |
(11) (7/2 +13%)7/2(+13%) | (11) Port Noir 7/2, 3-time C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D (9/1) 7 days ago by 1¼ lengths from A Pint of Bear. Player under a 4 lb penalty. Engaged 5.25 Bath Sunday. Hard to predict but she scored over C&D last week; modest effort at Bath yesterday. |

Oriental Spirit |
(10) (9/2 +50%)9/2(+50%) | (10) Oriental Spirit 9/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 5/1). Off 159 days. Can give a good account. Good fourth when upped to 7f at Kempton in November and he's in the mix on his return. |

1st (5) (25/1 +38%) Rose Fandango |
25/1(+38%) | (5) Rose Fandango 25/1, C&D winner. 80/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Very lightly raced in recent years and he needs a major turnaround; tongue-tie back on. |

2nd (1) (6/1 -20%) A Pint Of Bear |
6/1(-20%) | (1) A Pint Of Bear 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 9/1, very good 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Port Noir in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, slowly away. Ought to be in the shake-up. Hard to predict but was runner-up behind Port Noir here last week and he has possibilities. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ABSOLUTE DREAM had cheekpieces back on when scoring over 7f at Southwell on his penultimate start, and he proved that effort was no flash in the pan when finishing second over 6f at Newcastle most recently. Stepping back up in trip off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark, Richard Fahey's charge looks the one to side with. A Pint Of Bear fared best of those ridden patiently when finishing a creditable second over C&D recently and he is feared most off an unchanged mark. Captain Wentworth also commands attention, provided the application of cheekpieces has the desired effect.
C&D winner MUDLAHHIM has slipped back down the weights and signalled he is ready to go in again when a recent C&D fourth so edges the vote in this tight-knit handicap. Richard Fahey's Absolute Dream is another weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of recent C&D scorer Port Noir. Oriental Spirit completes the shortlist.
Plenty have possibilities but ABSOLUTE DREAM gets the vote ahead of Captain Wentworth, A Pint Of Bear and Mudlahhim.
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. 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.
