Zenyatta wins Lady’s Secret Stakes
Oct 3rd
Zenyatta took her wining career record to 19 with victory in the Lady’s Secret Stakes at Hollywood Park.

Poet’s Voice wins Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Sep 25th
Poet’s Voice settled the arguments when he won the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Distant Memories takes Winter Hill Stakes
Aug 28th
Tactical plans can be either a masterstroke of genius or a one-way ticket to the ire of a crowd, but the feature races on Windsor’s evening card were won with a simple method that avoided the madness. Get to the front and stay there, although that is easier said than done and requires a horse [...]
Rio de la Plata wins Strensall Stakes
Aug 20th
Relationships between jockeys and horses can often be short and frenetic affairs but occasionally they can run deeper. Away from the glare of the grandstands there was the sight of Jamie Spencer, after Sariska had refused to leave the starting stalls for the Yorkshire Oaks, quietly soothing the mare and leading her back to the [...]
