LTO Selection:
12:05 Thurles Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(7) King Cool 16/1, Now 9 lb below last winning mark, but hasn't shaped as though he'll be capitalising on the handicapper's mercy anytime soon judged on his efforts at Fontwell since returning from a break.
8
(8) (20/1 -25%) Timely Gift
20
20/1(-25%)
(8) Timely Gift 20/1, Ended 2019 on a high, bagging a couple of handicaps at around this trip. However, he failed to fire on all cylinders last season and Ffos Las reappearance effort wasn't overly encouraging.
6
1st (6) (5.5/1 +50%) Malinas Island
5.5
5.5/1(+50%)
(6) Malinas Island 5.5/1, Improved when fourth of 14 on handicap bow at Wetherby on final start of last season. Failed to make an impact on return at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to soft), but it's still early days for this 6-y-o.
9
2nd (9) (14/1 +30%) Freethinker
14
14/1(+30%)
(9) Freethinker 14/1, Equipped with a first-time tongue strap (retained here), he produced his best effort yet over hurdles when fifth of 12 in a Huntingdon handicap (25f, good to soft) last month. Place possibilities.
1
3rd (1) (2/1 -6%) Imphal
2
2/1(-6%)
(1) Imphal 2/1, Has sprouted wings since upped in trip, completing the hat-trick with minimum fuss at Huntingdon (25f, good) recently. This is a stiffer assignment under a penalty, but he's clearly on a roll.
2
4th (2) (2.25/1 +32%) Thirtyfourstitches
2.25
2.25/1(+32%)
(2) Thirtyfourstitches 2.25/1, Likeable front-runner who scored on debut for new yard at Fontwell. Went down all guns blazing when second to a progressive type at Ascot (21.6f, good to soft) recently and another bold show likely.
5
5th (5) (40/1 -150%) Auenwirbel
40
40/1(-150%)
(5) Auenwirbel 40/1, Modest hurdler who took advantage of handy mark when landing a 19f selling handicap here in February. Safely held in 4 subsequent starts, though, and yet to fully convince over this sort of trip.
10
6th (10) (40/1 +0%) Sense Of Adventure
40
40/1(+0%)
(10) Sense Of Adventure 40/1, Looks decidedly modest judged on what he's shown, both between the flags and under Rules, and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
14
8th (14) (25/1 +62%) Mickyh
25
25/1(+62%)
(14) Mickyh 25/1, Decent NH pedigree, but hasn't shown much in a handful of novice hurdles and needs to raise his game considerably now pitched into a handicap with a tongue strap added.
13
10th (13) (25/1 +38%) Mr Fitzroy
25
25/1(+38%)
(13) Mr Fitzroy 25/1, Winless since 2017 and while he's been given a serious chance by the handicapper, it's hard to make a compelling case for this 11-y-o on the back of an inauspicious reappearance at Exeter.
11
11th (11) (28/1 -75%) Soarlikeaneagle
28
28/1(-75%)
(11) Soarlikeaneagle 28/1, Bagged 25f Fontwell handicap in May and ran has performed with credit both starts this season, latterly third off this mark at Plumpton. Still, he looks vulnerable from a win point of view.
4
|PU| (4) (80/1 -60%) Benny Flies High
80
80/1(-60%)
(4) Benny Flies High 80/1, Well held in a bumper/novice hurdles and handicap debut display at Huntingdon left much to be desired.
15
|PU| (15) (200/1 -100%) Givehimhisdew
200
200/1(-100%)
(15) Givehimhisdew 200/1, Poor maiden who looks set for another struggle here, from 8 lb out of the handicap proper.
LTO Selection:
12:15 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Ciankyle 18/1, 10/1, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, heavy) 28 days ago, though was well positioned.
5
2nd (5) (8/1 +27%) Dontdooddson
8
8/1(+27%)
(5) Dontdooddson 8/1, Landed a third career success after 11 months off at Killarney in October. In process of running respectably when falling heavily 2 out in a similar event at Clonmel last time.
6
3rd (6) (12/1 -9%) Western Sea
12
12/1(-9%)
(6) Western Sea 12/1, Produced a rare below-par effort when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly.
12
4th (12) (20/1 -11%) Rolling Revenge
20
20/1(-11%)
(12) Rolling Revenge 20/1, 250/1, unseated rider fourth in minor event chase at Punchestown (24f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Back down in trip.
11
5th (11) (5.5/1 +0%) Gold Creek
5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(11) Gold Creek 5.5/1, Finally broke her duck in handicap hurdle here earlier this month, but was let down by her jumping back over fences at Naas 2 days later, unseating her rider at the seventh.
13
6th (13) (11/1 -38%) Bellgrove
11
11/1(-38%)
(13) Bellgrove 11/1, Took advantage of a career-low mark to end a long losing run in 16-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. Wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up.
8
7th (8) (6/1 +63%) My Oakclahome
6
6/1(+63%)
(8) My Oakclahome 6/1, Blinkered for 1st time, in process of running respectably unseating rider 2 out in handicap chase (16/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago. Not dismissed.
10
8th (10) (28/1 +0%) Howaya Aoife
28
28/1(+0%)
(10) Howaya Aoife 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019 and out of sorts at Wexford when last seen in May. Returns with enough to prove.
7
9th (7) (16/1 +36%) Seskin Flyer
16
16/1(+36%)
(7) Seskin Flyer 16/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2019, though shaped as if better for the run after a 4-month break when fifth of 13 in handicap chase (50/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago.
4
|F| (4) (4.5/1 -64%) Pretty Little Liar
4.5
4.5/1(-64%)
(4) Pretty Little Liar 4.5/1, Made a smooth transition to chasing when readily landing 14-runner maiden over C&D 3 weeks ago. Has had plenty of racing but is entitled to do better over fences.
9
10th (9) (22/1 -22%) An Marcach
22
22/1(-22%)
(9) An Marcach 22/1, 22/1, didn't shape too badly when seventh of 14 in 3m handicap chase at Fairyhouse (good to soft) 16 days ago, fading between last 2. Drop back in trip an obvious plus and not discounted.
(3) Movethechains 0.91/1, Unexposed and has taken off over fences lately, forging clear to score by a wide margin once more here 16 days ago. Every chance he'll land the C&D hat-trick.
5
2nd (5) (28/1 -133%) Getastar
28
28/1(-133%)
(5) Getastar 28/1, Modest in bumpers and over hurdles, but there's every chance he makes a better chaser, so he's one to note with cheekpieces applied switched to handicaps for his debut in this sphere.
7
3rd (7) (5/1 +33%) Bretney
5
5/1(+33%)
(7) Bretney 5/1, Modest maiden hurdler who matched that form when third in a handicap at Stratford on chasing debut. Open to improvement, and would appreciate the emphasis being on stamina.
9
4th (9) (28/1 -40%) One For Dunstan
28
28/1(-40%)
(9) One For Dunstan 28/1, Far more miss than hit and seemed amiss returned to chasing at Plumpton on seasonal debut last month. Tongue tie tried but others make more appeal.
1
5th (1) (6/1 +40%) Lilith
6
6/1(+40%)
(1) Lilith 6/1, Lightly-raced 6yo who produced her best effort to date when a rallying second at this course 9 days ago. Made hard work of it, though, so mightn't be in the same form turned out quickly.
11
6th (11) (66/1 -32%) Vital Sign
66
66/1(-32%)
(11) Vital Sign 66/1, Limited impact in various company, sixth in handicap chase at this course last time. Hard to fancy.
10
7th (10) (5/1 +9%) Hoot At Midnight
5
5/1(+9%)
(10) Hoot At Midnight 5/1, In-form mare who finally shed her maiden tag in a 7-runner handicap chase at Fontwell recently. Should give her all again, but a 4 lb rise might do for her up against less-exposed rivals.
2
8th (2) (50/1 -25%) Doitforthevillage
50
50/1(-25%)
(2) Doitforthevillage 50/1, Has been a fine servant to connections over the years, but he appears to be regressing now.
6
|F| (6) (16/1 -167%) Robins Field
16
16/1(-167%)
(6) Robins Field 16/1, Offered very little in a trio of hurdling outings for Tim Vaughan but could prove a different proposition now chasing on his first outing for Dan Skelton after wind op. One to consider.
8
|PU| (8) (33/1 -136%) Ballintara
33
33/1(-136%)
(8) Ballintara 33/1, Modest hurdler/chaser who opened his account in this sphere at Fontwell 169 days ago. Unlikely to be in the same form, particularly given the run will likely be needed.
LTO Selection:
12:45 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Earth Company 3/1, Made the frame on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers last season and positive start over hurdles after wind op when third to the potentially smart Knappers Hill at Wincanton (15.2f). Open to improvement.
4
2nd (4) (3.33/1 +0%) Gala De Corton
3.33
3.33/1(+0%)
(4) Gala De Corton 3.33/1, Bettered low-key hurdles debut when chasing home exciting stablemate Knappers Hill at Wincanton, with Earth Company hot on his heels in third. More needed in order to go one better here.
1
3rd (1) (1.5/1 +20%) Jay Jay Reilly
1.5
1.5/1(+20%)
(1) Jay Jay Reilly 1.5/1, Gradual progress in bumpers last term and struck at second attempt over hurdles when making all in 2m Kempton novice (2m, good to soft). Further progress likely and he's the one to beat.
6
4th (6) (5/1 +33%) Brilliant Present
5
5/1(+33%)
(6) Brilliant Present 5/1, Winner of an all-weather bumper last winter and Warwick hurdles debut in May wasn't devoid of promise. However, she failed to build on that when returning to action at Huntingdon last month.
7
5th (7) (80/1 +0%) My Keepsake
80
80/1(+0%)
(7) My Keepsake 80/1, Fair form in bumpers, but she hasn't made much of an impact in a couple of mares' novice hurdles and yard saddles a far stronger candidate in Earth Company.
2
6th (2) (14/1 -56%) Key To The Moon
14
14/1(-56%)
(2) Key To The Moon 14/1, Left bumper exploits well behind when making a winning hurdles debut at Ludlow (2m, good). Perhaps the slow ground was against him at Ffos Las next time, but looks vulnerable here all the same.
LTO Selection:
12:55 Taunton Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Cilaos Emery 0.3/1, Classy chaser with 4 wins from 9 starts over fences, all in small fields. Collared by Samcro at Killarney (20f, good) when last seen and he should make a winning return on first go over this trip.
2
2nd (2) (2.75/1 -10%) Darver Star
2.75
2.75/1(-10%)
(2) Darver Star 2.75/1, Smart hurdler (third in 2020 Champion Hurdle) yet to reach the same heights over fences, although was running okay when falling 2 out in Grade 3 at Naas (16f) 19 days ago. Should get this far.
4
3rd (4) (80/1 +60%) Mamaslittlestar
80
80/1(+60%)
(4) Mamaslittlestar 80/1, Modest winner at 20f over hurdles. 20/1, thirteenth of 18 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences 5 days ago. Surely outclassed.
3
4th (3) (40/1 +39%) Knock On Steel
40
40/1(+39%)
(3) Knock On Steel 40/1, Fairly useful chaser. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Tailed-off last of 4 to Eklat De Rire in listed chase at Wexford (23f, heavy, 100/1) 31 days ago. Needs others to misfire.
(2) Dream Du Grand Val 4/1, Dual hurdles winner for Nicky Henderson but essentially disappointing in recent times and he's passed over even allowing for the drop in class.
1
2nd (1) (1.25/1 -213%) Celestial Force
1.25
1.25/1(-213%)
(1) Celestial Force 1.25/1, Made hard work of adding another small-field success to his tally in a Taunton seller (19f) 2 weeks ago. Still, found another good opening on debut for new yard. Obvious claims.
5
3rd (5) (2.5/1 +29%) San Pedro De Senam
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(5) San Pedro De Senam 2.5/1, Winless since 2018 but showed he retain his ability when fourth in a Newbury handicap (20.5f) in March. Never figured at Huntingdon in May but does at least return with yard in good nick.
3
5th (3) (10/1 +29%) Finisher
10
10/1(+29%)
(3) Finisher 10/1, Winner at Doncaster (2m) in January but not scaled same heights on 3 of his 4 starts since, dropping away quickly on return from 6 months off at Worcester (20f) 2 weeks ago.
7
|PU| (7) (16/1 +84%) Kalaya
16
16/1(+84%)
(7) Kalaya 16/1, Limited impact on Flat/over hurdles and hard to fancy returning from 8 months off here.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Lingfield Claiming Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Nelsons Rock 1/1, Dual point winner who delivered easily his most encouraging effort under Rules when fourth in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time. Could be thrown in off 96 switched to handicaps/upped in trip.
3
2nd (3) (8.5/1 -42%) Young O'Leary
8.5
8.5/1(-42%)
(3) Young O'Leary 8.5/1, Placed in points and built on hurdling promise to make winning chasing debut here in March. Followed it with a poor run and hasn't been seen since April, but still relatively unexposed for new yard.
6
3rd (6) (11/1 +45%) Aeronisi
11
11/1(+45%)
(6) Aeronisi 11/1, Yet to show anything in novice/maiden hurdles and, while bred to do better, the handicapper has taken no chances with his opening mark.
4
4th (4) (7.5/1 +0%) Fantomas
7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(4) Fantomas 7.5/1, Fair in bumpers and shaped better than first time up over hurdles when third in a novice at Worcester on reappearance. Has gone backwards from that, however.
2
5th (2) (6/1 -140%) Famoso
6
6/1(-140%)
(2) Famoso 6/1, Placed a couple of times in maiden hurdles last season and, while disappointing at Wincanton (after a breathing operation) on handicap/seasonal debut, he's probably worth another chance.
1
6th (1) (5/1 +0%) Just A Whim
5
5/1(+0%)
(1) Just A Whim 5/1, Improved display when running out an easy winner of a Uttoxeter maiden (23.3f) in July. However, that race fell apart and unable to follow up under a penalty at Worcester latest. Returns to handicaps.
LTO Selection:
13:25 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Vina Ardanza 1.25/1, Once-raced winner in bumpers. Off 7 months ahead of this hurdles debut and first run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford. Interesting contender.
13
2nd (13) (4.5/1 +44%) Walnut Beach
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(13) Walnut Beach 4.5/1, Promising sort. Eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 11/4) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 4/17 on last hurdle run. Likely to improve.
1
3rd (1) (12/1 -71%) Call Me Rocky
12
12/1(-71%)
(1) Call Me Rocky 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 25/1, creditable fourth of 20 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Each-way chance.

200

40/1(-150%)

28
28/1(-40%)

9/1(+36%)

10
8th (10) (3.33/1 +72%) Pretorius
3.33
3.33/1(+72%)
(10) Pretorius 3.33/1, Promising sort. 10/3, ninth of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16f, good to soft), not knocked about. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Open to progress.

LTO Selection:
13:35 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(11) Sherborne 3.33/1, Modest form in bumpers and ran to a similar level when fourth on Exeter hurdles debut (16.7f) 23 days ago. Entitled to do better.
1
4th (1) (14/1 -211%) Crossing The Bar
14
14/1(-211%)
(1) Crossing The Bar 14/1, Dam half-sister to useful hurdler (2m winner) Cops And Robbers. Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1¾m. Left Sir Michael Stoute for 60,000 gns and rates an interesting hurdling debutant.
3
6th (3) (25/1 -56%) Exmoor Express
25
25/1(-56%)
(3) Exmoor Express 25/1, Signed off last season with a Chepstow bumper win but was in need of experience on hurdling debut there 22 days ago. Should do better in time.
10
7th (10) (5/1 +58%) Piaff Bubbles
5
5/1(+58%)
(10) Piaff Bubbles 5/1, Placed on the second of 2 starts in bumpers last season. Is bred to come into his own now jumping but swerved right and unseated his rider on Exeter hurdling bow 23 days ago. Open to improvement.
4
8th (4) (6/1 +40%) Green Planet
6
6/1(+40%)
(4) Green Planet 6/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Modest form only start in bumpers but showed plenty more sent hurdling behind a good prospect at Bangor (16.7f) last month. In the mix if building on that.
7
9th (7) (80/1 -60%) Jersey
80
80/1(-60%)
(7) Jersey 80/1, Modest in bumpers and similar form in 2 hurdle runs. Handicaps presumably up after this.
9
11th (9) (10/1 +17%) Ocean Heights
10
10/1(+17%)
(9) Ocean Heights 10/1, Fair bumper winner who was sold out of Lucy Wadham's yard for £26,000 in August. Has matched that form both starts on the Flat subsequently and should have a future over hurdles.

250
250/1(-150%)
(12) Time Bandit 250/1, Runner-up sole start in point bumpers but achieved nothing when tailed off in an Aintree bumper on Rules bow in May.

250/1(-25%)
(13) William Ewart 250/1, Has shown bits and pieces of promise in bumpers/over hurdles so far but will be of more interest in low-grade handicaps after this.

13:45 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Roque It 2/1, Bumper winner for Olly Murphy. Fair form over hurdles for this stable (good third in handicap at Worcester last time), and likely to be well schooled ahead of this chasing debut.

2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(4) Caspers Court 2.5/1, Landed a gamble over hurdles on return at Exeter last term and has shown enough in this sphere to think he can win races when it all clicks. Merits respect.
2
3rd (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Eragon De Chanay
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(2) Eragon De Chanay 3.5/1, Five-time winner over hurdles and, though he has a rather uninspiring record as a chaser, he's on an appealing mark now and his latest effort contained more encouragement.
5
4th (5) (3.33/1 -48%) Catch The Cuban
3.33
3.33/1(-48%)
(5) Catch The Cuban 3.33/1, Hit and miss profile overall but he has been holding his form of late and gained reward with victory at this course a fortnight ago. Up 4 lb and chance can't be ignored in a weak race.
1
|PU| (1) (25/1 -79%) Landsman
25
25/1(-79%)
(1) Landsman 25/1, Shaped well at Ludlow in May but failed to back it up next time, underlining that he's not one to rely on. Back from 175 days off, and others make more appeal.

28/1(-133%)
(5) Steelriver 28/1, 4-time C&D winner who ran poorly when last of 8 in 6f claimer (22/1) at Kempton on return 29 days ago. Should step up on that but needs to.

4.5
4.5/1(+59%)
(8) Voltaic 4.5/1, Successful at Ffos Las in September prior to good second at Brighton. Wasn't in the same form at Lingfield last time, though didn't help himself by rearing as he left the stalls. Visor on 1st time.

8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(1) Youllovemewheniwin 8.5/1, C&D winner in August. Well held last 2 outings but this represents a drop in grade at least.

(3) Matamua 10/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably in a first-time visor when third of 11 in 6f novice event at Newcastle (6f, 10/3) 17 days ago. More required back in handicap company, though.

(1) Hollymount 2.75/1, Well-bred mare who fetched £300,000 having won on debut at Carlisle last December. Came close to making a winning hurdling debut at this course 5 weeks ago and should feature again with more to come.

(6) Seven No Trumps 14/1, Definite signs of promise first 2 starts over hurdles last term prior to looking a little one paced at Carlisle (19.3f) final start in March. Still, it is early days and progress likely now chasing.

16
16/1(+20%)
(10) Honorary Colonel 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when second over hurdles in a Ffos Las handicap (20f) back from 8 months off in October. Another needing a market check now tackling larger obstacles.

6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(4) Get Your Own 6.5/1, Fair winning novice hurdler last season who seemed to find things happening too quickly on return in a listed handicap hurdle at Ascot in October. Longer trip a plus now chasing.

3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(13) Animal 3.33/1, Bumper winner who ran to a fair level without success over hurdles. Definite promise when second on C&D chase debut recently and likely to come on for that run. Good showing anticipated.

5th (3) (25/1 -56%) Foxboro
25
25/1(-56%)
(3) Foxboro 25/1, German Flat winner who won 2 hurdles too in France in 2019. Promise on 2 of his 3 starts over fences for present yard last season, midfield at Newbury (2m) in March. Good showing not ruled out.
9
6th (9) (11/1 +31%) Silent Assistant
11
11/1(+31%)
(9) Silent Assistant 11/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler whose record last season was mixed. Never figured on chase debut at Hereford (20.8f) 25 days ago and he'll need to show the benefit of that run to figure here.
12
7th (12) (3/1 +14%) Dorking Lad
3
3/1(+14%)
(12) Dorking Lad 3/1, Hurdles winner who showed benefit of return/chase debut run despite making hard work of things when second at Fontwell (19.5f) 11 days ago. Still, definite claims if blinkers help him focus.

12
12/1(+40%)
(1) Blame The Game 12/1, Bright start over hurdles last term, winning twice at up to 21.7f. Underwhelming return/chase debut effort over 23.5f here last month but certainly not one to write off in this sphere.

40
40/1(-21%)
(8) Lamanver Storm 40/1, From a good jumping family and finished runner-up on 2 of 4 starts over hurdles. Poor effort at Chepstow (19.5f) when last seen in February but worth noting if strong in betting on return/chase debut.

12
12/1(-118%)
(7) Confirmation Bias 12/1, Bumper winner who put it all together to open hurdles account at Wincanton (15.3f) in March. Runner-up back there final start and possible switch to chasing will bring about improvement. Worth a look.

20
20/1(-100%)
(2) Buckhorn George 20/1, Maiden hurdle winner (at 19.7f) who hit frame 3 times in handicap hurdles last winter. Had lost place when falling on return over fences at Exeter 2 weeks ago but he may strip fitter for that run here

125/1(-56%)
(11) You Say Nothing 125/1, Dual winner over hurdles in Ireland but hasn't offered much encouragement over fences, including in a couple of runs for present yard this autumn. Hood again the headgear of choice.

2.5
2.5/1(+38%)

12
12/1(-50%)
(7) Mister Allegro 12/1, Modest on the level but made a fine start over hurdles, scoring at Ludlow and Wincanton. Found out in better company at Cheltenham but now switches to handicaps with a handy weight-for-age allowance.
6
6th (6) (11/1 -47%) Molliana
11
11/1(-47%)
(6) Molliana 11/1, Likeable mare who brought up the 4-timer over hurdles in 10-runner handicap over C&D 2 weeks ago, doing well to get there late after starting her effort with just 1 behind. Will continue to run well.
4

8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(4) Opening Bid 8.5/1, Newton Abbot novice winner in the spring who doubled his tally with victory in 2m Warwick handicap 20 days ago, staying on well. This is tougher but he's still lightly raced, so should go well again.

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.
