Elas Diamond looks a cut above the rest at Nottingham
Oct 14th
Here’s a tip, you can still back Paul Hanagan at 1-7 to win the jockey’s championship. One bookmaker already paid out yesterday so 1-7 has got to be a pretty good price. Richard Hughes is just seven wins behind Hanagan, but has to serve a week’s ban starting from Saturday for careless riding, surely missing [...]
Group One winners for Godolphin in Italy
Oct 9th

Frankie Dettori’s ‘fab four’ day
Sep 25th
Late on Saturday afternoon there was a call from the weighing room at Ascot to the local fire station. It came from the rest of the jockeys who were wondering whether Frankie Dettori could now be declared a fire hazard. It may be 14 years since he rode the “magnificent seven” and he was never [...]
Poet’s Voice wins Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Sep 25th

Strong renewal for Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Sep 20th
Frankie Dettori may well be long odds to replicate his “magnificent seven” winners from the 1996, but he goes into Saturday’s meeting at Ascot with renewed firepower. Godolphin, who celebrated its 1,000th British winner at Newmarket on Friday, have not had reason to cheer after a Group One race in the country since Mastery won [...]

With the hugely anticipated Ayr Gold Cup meeting on Saturday, racing fans are in for an added treat on Friday with some top-class action from both Ayr and Newbury.
