Frankel wins Royal Lodge Stakes
Sep 25th
The hype and the hope were turned into reality when Frankel proved that he is as good as many thought he was when he won the Group Two Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at Ascot. Frankel had been one of the talking horses of the season even before he won his debut in at Newmarket in [...]
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 [...]
Midday wins Prix Vermeille
Sep 12th
Arc trials day at Longchamp provided mixed results in terms of potential winners for the main event in three weeks’ time.

White Moonstone wins May Hill Stakes
Sep 10th
Even after 13 Classic winners Frankie Dettori will admit to nerves as he prepares to ride Rewilding in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster. The Italian is one of the great confidence riders who, when his confidence is at his highest, can produce rides of mesmerising skill and daring. He needed none of that when [...]

Aug 19th
The fashion parade that passes for a day at the races sometimes may be a little trying for those who go mainly for the horses but the feminine side came to the fore in true style at York. The Group One Darley Yorkshire Oaks brought together an impressive field and Midday proved herself the queen [...]
Midday wins Nassau Stakes
Jul 31st
The record books will show that Midday has won the Group One Blue Square Nassau Stakes twice but really she has won it three times. Henry Cecil’s filly came to Goodwood as the defending champion and appeared to be cruising to her second victory, but then she seemed to think it was time to make [...]
Lord Shanakill wins Betfair Cup
Jul 27th
There may only be 220 yards to a furlong but the difference in what is needed between a six-furlong sprinter and a miler can be cavernous. For those not possessed of the speed for one or the necessary stamina for the other the options are not plentiful. A year ago Lord Shanakill did win the [...]

George Baker is not only the tallest jockey in the weighing room, he is also the thinnest and he somehow managed to thread Premio Loco through the narrowest of gaps to win the Group Two totesport.com Summer Mile Stakes at Ascot.

Twice Over wins Eclipse
Jul 3rd
Twice Over won a thrilling finish to the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park as he ended Henry Cecil’s 32-year wait for a fourth winner in the race. Twice Over was his 17th attempt since Gunner B won in 1978 and for a few, heart-stopping moments, looked as though he might add to that losing streak. [...]
