Packaging may be a bane of modern life, as anyone who has lost the plot trying to unwrap a stock cube will surely testify, but it is considered all-important by those trying to sell the product.
Various sports have learned this lesson over the last 20 years but some have been slower on the uptake than [...]

As Tony McCoy made the journey to Ludlow yesterday there was one figure in his mind.
It was not the 195 winners that left him streets ahead of Richard Johnson in the jockeys’ championship that ended on Saturday, that barely comprehendible 15th consecutive title or the 3200 winners – and still counting – that means that [...]

Fergus and Judith Wilson have become more known for their policy of running no-hopers in the biggest jumps races than winners.
There is a good reason for that; in the last five seasons they have seen the inside of the winner’s enclosure only twice. That was at Taunton and Cartmel, which is some way removed from [...]

Gordon Gekko may have believed that greed was good but Philip Fenton thinks otherwise.

At a time when most trainers are trying to find anything to run at the Cheltenham Festival, Nick Williams takes a more analytical approach.

Binocular injured, Zaynar beaten at Kelso; can it get any worse for Nicky Henderson?
It’s all down to Punjabi in the Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton. However, the reigning champion hurdler was beaten on testing ground at Haydock last month and Starluck met the same fate there on similar ground in November.
