Aidan O’Brien’s new stable jockey?
Nov 10th
It is one of the hottest tickets in town, but just do not bank on it lasting that long. For all his quiet demeanour, Aidan O’Brien seems to have a habit of losing stable jockeys and is looking for his fourth in six years after Johnny Murtagh handed in his notice. Given that the yard, [...]
Goldikova wins third Mile
Nov 7th
Goldikova made history in the Breeders’ Cup at Churchill when she won the Mile for the third time.

Harbinger produced a thrilling performance as he broke the course record to win the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes by 11 lengths at Ascot yesterday. Some races can develop into a tactical game of cat and mouse but Sir Michael Stoute knew that in Harbinger and Workforce he had two horses who would [...]
