12:30 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (8/11 -27%) Kiss Will	0.727273 8/11(-27%)	(4) Kiss Will 8/11, Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 10 in bumper at Fontainebleau (12.9f, good, 11/1). Off 15 months. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Francois Nicolle (€280,000) and joined leading stable. Well bred and a very interesting contender. Cost 280,000euros after a promising run at Fontainebleau, given plenty of time to mature.
12	12 (12) (7/4 +30%) Bacchanalian	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(12) Bacchanalian 7/4, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, second of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 9 days ago. Sets a solid standard. Showed definite potential for a maiden success when second at Limerick nine days ago.
8	8 (8) (6/1 -50%) Pure Steel	6 6/1(-50%)	(8) Pure Steel 6/1, Promising type. Fourth of 20 in novice hurdle at this course (15.7f, soft, 6/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. Should improve quite a bit for that. Point winner for Derek O'Connor, capable of building on last month's fourth at this venue.
10	10 (10) (33/1 -32%) Tadhg's Rock	33 33/1(-32%)	(10) Tadhg's Rock 33/1, Berkshire gelding. Dam showed nothing sole start over hurdles. Made frame on second of 2 starts in points. Signs of ability in two point-to-points, pedigree implies he may prefer further than this.
2	2 (2) (33/1 +18%) Cappa Hill	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Cappa Hill 33/1, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/smart chase winner (2m-2½m winner) Gorgeous Tom. Wears tongue strap. Fourth completed starts in points. Fourth in both starts during the autumn point-to-point campaign, others preferred.
5	5 (5) (50/1 +50%) Nelson County	50 50/1(+50%)	(5) Nelson County 50/1, Twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Naas (19.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 19 days ago. Never involved at Naas last month on first hurdles start, likely to need more experience.
14	14 (14) (50/1 +80%) Nobody	50 50/1(+80%)	(14) Nobody 50/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Last of 13 in handicap at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm, 22/1), very slowly away. Off 6 months. Hooded for 1st time. Low-rated handicapper on the Flat, hard to fancy though trainer has had two recent winners.
13	13 (13) (50/1 +24%) Meteor Storm	50 50/1(+24%)	(13) Meteor Storm 50/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f, 18/1), slowly away. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Rated 68 after three Flat starts for Ger Lyons, sprinting pedigree but seems to stay well.
1	1 (1) (50/1 +38%) Bop Wont Stop	50 50/1(+38%)	(1) Bop Wont Stop 50/1, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (b90) made frame in bumpers. Point debut at Lisronagh was satisfactory, pulled up at Lingstown on second outing.
11	11 (11) (66/1 +56%) Tea In The Park	66 66/1(+56%)	(11) Tea In The Park 66/1, 100/1, fifteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Ordinary point-to-point form, 100-1 when in rear at this venue on hurdling debut.
3	3 (3) (66/1 +74%) Kilcrea Castle	66 66/1(+74%)	(3) Kilcrea Castle 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1 and hooded for 1st time, fourteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at this course (15.7f, soft) 27 days ago. No sign of winning potential at this stage, his trainer also runs the promising Pure Steel.
6	6 (6) (66/1 +74%) Nettuno Italia	66 66/1(+74%)	(6) Nettuno Italia 66/1, Eleventh of 19 in novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft, 80/1) on NH debut 22 days ago. Never better than mid-division when 80-1 chance on debut over C&D, unlikely to feature.
7	7 (7) (200/1 -33%) Nukie's Artic	200 200/1(-33%)	(7) Nukie's Artic 200/1, Arctic Cosmos gelding. Dam (h95), lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Captain Cj. Dam is a half-sister to useful hurdle/chase winner Captain CJ, best watched.
9	9 (9) (250/1 -25%) Simpson's Paradox	250 250/1(-25%)	(9) Simpson's Paradox 250/1, Modest Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Twelfth of 19 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Navan (16f, soft) 28 days ago. Flat winner in 2023, regressive last year, two ordinary efforts over hurdles so far.

KISS WILL debuts for top connections having shown good form in a smart French bumper in September 2023 and should be ready for today's reappearance. Runner-up at Fontainebleau on debut, that race's winner subsequently finished second at Grade 1 level while the third-placed horse was placed at Grade 3 level afterwards. The selection sold to current connections for 280,000 euros that same September and while he returns following 478 days off, is just a five-year-old and is likely to have been given time to mature. Bacchanalian has useful recent form, which will help his cause, but is vulnerable to smart types while point-to-point winner Pure Steel ran ok on his hurdling debut here in December but should struggle to win.

It's taken connections of KISS WILL a while to get him to the track following his expensive purchase in 2023 but he couldn't be in better hands so a winning hurdles debut may well be on the cards. Bacchanalian sets a pretty good standard, with Pure Steel a potential improver.

Costly French import KISS WILL has been given plenty of time. He may be too strong for the recent Limerick runner-up Bacchanalian

12:30 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:05 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (8/13 +8%) Casheldale Lad	0.615385 8/13(+8%)	(2) Casheldale Lad 8/13, Won maiden sole start on Flat for Andrew Kinirons and followed up in straightforward fashion sent hurdling in 17-runner maiden at Gowran (2m) 14 months on. Open to improvement. Won only Flat start in 2023, overcame long absence to win well at Gowran, useful prospect.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +0%) A Tipp For Gold	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) A Tipp For Gold 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 13/2, creditable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.1f, good to soft) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ms Margaret Mullins. Hood on for 1st time and must respected back down in trip. Last two runs for his original trainer have been over further but maiden win was at 2m.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -33%) Frankendael	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Frankendael 4/1, Followed up his Ballinrobe maiden win in good style on his handicap hurdle debut at Listowel in September. Didn't give his running for whatever reason at Fairyhouse last time but big chance if bouncing back. Gained back-to-back wins in August/September, failed to cope with revised mark on latest.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +39%) Attaboyarchie	20 20/1(+39%)	(4) Attaboyarchie 20/1, Fair hurdler. Fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft, 16/1) 6 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Promise early in his career, may be able to pick up a race but tough task in this grade.

CASHELDALE LAD is the least experienced runner but is undefeated so far and is open to more progression. He produced a smart effort to win at Punchestown last September, with the runner-up subsequently attaining a Flat rated 96, and while the form of his later Gowran hurdle win was nothing special, he scored quite usefully and can better this 0-125 grade. Frankendael was himself a Listed hurdle winner last September and while well held in a similar race last month, is battle-hardened and suited by conditions. A Tipp For Gold won a maiden hurdle at this distance in September but might ideally prefer further and debuts for new connections wearing a first-time hood.

CASHELDALE LAD was by no means foot-perfect when making a successful hurdling debut at Gowran in November, but he still did it easily and is open to plenty of improvement, so is taken to maintain his unbeaten record. A Tipp For Gold and Frankendael are a pair of credible rivals, though.

Winner of his only Flat start in 2023, CASHELDALE LAD can build on his Gowran success which was achieved after a lengthy absence

13:40 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (4/5 -20%) Jump Allen	0.8 4/5(-20%)	(2) Jump Allen 4/5, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 10/3, fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, soft) on hurdles bow 32 days ago. Up in trip. May well do better. Debut bumper winner, made a bad error two out on hurdling debut, faces easier task now.
5	5 (5) (11/8 +0%) The Story So Far	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(5) The Story So Far 11/8, Fairly useful hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. Visored for 1st time, good second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft, 13/2) 7 days ago. Form pick. Ordinary maiden form showed potential with last week's second in a 3m Limerick handicap.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +20%) Mountrivers Lass	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Mountrivers Lass 20/1, Poor hurdler. Good tenth of 17 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Limerick (20f, soft) 8 days ago. Weak form in bumpers and has failed to reach the first six in six starts over hurdles.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +24%) Kadys Dirha	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Kadys Dirha 25/1, Modest chaser. Remains a maiden after 15 hurdle runs. Fell in handicap chase (16/1) at Listowel (23.8f, soft) 98 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Three-time runner-up over fences this term, needs to improve on her hurdling efforts.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +38%) Work Place	25 25/1(+38%)	(6) Work Place 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, twelfth of 13 in bumper at Limerick (18f, soft) on bumper debut 7 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Open to improvement. Remote third at Galway in October, safe to rule out following poor bumper run at Limerick.
9	9 (9) (40/1 0%) Tiffiny's Girl	40 40/1(0%)	(9) Tiffiny's Girl 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 18 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Needs to jump better than on debut in a 2m4f maiden at this venue, longer trip may suit.
1	1 (1) (50/1 +0%) Famous Sonnet	50 50/1(+0%)	(1) Famous Sonnet 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Naas (19.5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Has struggled in his first three attempts over hurdles, needs to jump a lot more fluently.
3	3 (3) (66/1 +56%) Niosfearabolt	66 66/1(+56%)	(3) Niosfearabolt 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 46 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Peter McCreery. Poor form in four outings for his previous trainer, transformation needed on stable debut.
4	4 (4) (66/1 +56%) Rookery Woods	66 66/1(+56%)	(4) Rookery Woods 66/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, sixteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Point winner, tailed off in a Listowel bumper, same over hurdles at Limerick a week ago.

JUMP ALLEN showed only mild promise in last month's hurdling debut but stepping up in distance and dropping to this lesser maiden will help. The selection defeated a subsequent dual hurdle winner to score on bumper debut last May and while he was very one-paced on his Clonmel hurdling debut, that was a better race and today's extra yardage should suit. The Story So Far ran two consistent races last month and his form since winning a Limerick Christmas bumper in 2023 is largely unexciting, he stays well and likes soft ground so should give the selection a race. Work Place caught the Galway stewards' attentions in October but was tailed off over Christmas.

A potential match between JUMP ALLEN and The Story So Far, the former taken to find the required improvement.

The bar is lowered here for JUMP ALLEN, a bumper winner who was the stable's second string on his first run over hurdles

13:40 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Cork Handicap Hurdle 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (2/1 +20%) Ad Caelum	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Ad Caelum 2/1, Resumed winning ways in 8-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 6 days ago. Likely to remain competitive back in handicap company. Two wins from her last four starts, makes a quick reappearance after Limerick success.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +30%) Thisistheway	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(6) Thisistheway 7/2, C&D winner in October but found life tougher switched to a handicap when seventh of 11 at Wexford (16.4f, heavy, 7/2) 68 days ago. Back up in trip. Hood on for 1st time. Bumper winner, course maiden hurdle scorer, midfield on her handicap debut over 2m.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +11%) Roxhill Roise	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Roxhill Roise 4/1, Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, good to soft, 13/2) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Not dismissed. Both wins have come at Tramore, found little in the straight at Navan off her revised mark.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +8%) Folly Beach	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(5) Folly Beach 11/2, Fair maiden hurdler. 40/1, bit below form 18½ lengths sixth of 11 in listed hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Has good chance on pick of form back in handicap company. Fair form in handicaps, not disgraced in a Listed hurdle last time, best form on good.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -60%) Deons Diamond	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Deons Diamond 8/1, Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase (11/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, good) 34 days ago. Entitled to come for that run now returning to hurdles. Can be expected to improve from a chase outing at Fairyhouse which came after a year off.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +60%) Finest Evermore	10 10/1(+60%)	(1) Finest Evermore 10/1, 66/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 7 days ago. Retains little of her old ability. Four-time winner for Willie Mullins, no sign of his old form, yard had a winner this week.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +13%) Brianna Lily	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Brianna Lily 14/1, 25/1, followed a good run with a below-par one when eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft) 9 days ago. Bounce back required. Fair third in a 2m4f handicap at Tramore in October, tailed off at Limerick last week.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +24%) Lucky Viv	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Lucky Viv 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in August. 66/1, respectable seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft) 7 days ago. Not disgraced at Limerick last week but hard to fancy, 3lb out of the handicap.

AD CAELUM makes a quick reappearance following a busy Christmas but her rating continues to gradually rise skywards and she is suited by today's conditions. The selection has been performing consistently well in recent months and while she is 8lb higher than when winning at Limerick only six days ago, is ideally suited by this distance and soft ground. Flat winner Folly Beach was well held in a Listed hurdle over 2m last month but had previously been running well in handicaps, so should compete. September chase winner Deons Diamond was pulled up in her latest hurdle run in November but ran satisfactorily at Fairyhouse last month and has place claims.

FOLLY BEACH has good claims returning to handicap company on the pick of her form, so she's put forward as the answer. Deons Diamond is entitled to come on for her reappearance and merits respect back over hurdles, with last-time-out scorer Ad Caelum also feared.

It could pay to side with DEONS DIAMOND (nap), who made a pleasing return over fences at Fairyhouse after a year off

14:15 Cork Handicap Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:50 Cork Maiden Chase 20f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (9/2 +0%) Glady Max	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Glady Max 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Solid fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Tramore (21.5f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Respected. Dual point-to-point winner has absence to overcome but O'Keeffe an eyecatching booking.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +9%) Rightfolksplease	5 5/1(+9%)	(9) Rightfolksplease 5/1, Fair chaser. 15/2, respectable third of 18 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Third of 18 in cheekpieces in Naas handicap chase latest; step up in trip should help.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +17%) John The Diva	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) John The Diva 5/1, Fair chaser. 22/1, good third of 13 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, heavy) on debut over fences 39 days ago. Not taken lightly. Encouraging start to life over fences under rules when third at Tramore on his return.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -110%) Mighty Oak Lad	7 7/1(-110%)	(7) Mighty Oak Lad 7/1, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. 12/1, excellent third of 12 in handicap chase at Navan (20.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. 3rd behind Individualiste at Navan; probably wants further than this but can't rule out.
14	14 (14) (8/1 +20%) Whotookthebiscuit	8 8/1(+20%)	(14) Whotookthebiscuit 8/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft, 25/1) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. No show over hurdles at Cork on return; hails from top yard so wouldn't write her off yet.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +43%) Jay Pee M	8 8/1(+43%)	(4) Jay Pee M 8/1, Fair hurdler. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. First run for yard after leaving Daniel William O'Sullivan and needs to hit the ground running. Would have won a Boulta point comfortably last month but for a fall at the last; contender.
13	13 (13) (8/1 +50%) Walk In Time	8 8/1(+50%)	(13) Walk In Time 8/1, Modest winner at 24f over hurdles. Below form fifth of 14 in handicap chase (17/2) at Thurles (25.1f, good) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Winning hurdler over 3m probably wants a stiffer test than this but she has ability.
10	10 (10) (12/1 +25%) The Miracle Man	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) The Miracle Man 12/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 9/1, seventh of 13 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, heavy) on debut over fences 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Bred for chasing but will need to improve on latest seventh when behind John The Diva.

Switches from hurdles to chase. Hood back on. Tough to assess at present. Out of form since the summer but should like soft ground and she has won a point-to-point.
2	2 (2) (25/1 +24%) Diamond Duke	25 25/1(+24%)	(2) Diamond Duke 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving M. F. Morris when below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (20.4f, soft, 20/1) 43 days ago. Makes chase debut. Blinkered for 1st time. Well beaten at Tipperary on first start for new yard; first-time blinkers; easy to oppose.
11	11 (11) (25/1 +50%) Notimelikedpresent	25 25/1(+50%)	(11) Notimelikedpresent 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, sixteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at this course (15.7f, soft) 27 days ago.

MIGHTY OAK LAD is perfectly suited by these race conditions and has good recent form. The selection landed a gamble to win on New Year's Day 2024 and while he failed to win since, finished third in a useful handicap chase at Navan last month and drops markedly in grade on suitably soft ground today. Rightfolksplease is rated 101 and has recent form but would prefer a sound surface and has done almost all his racing over two miles. John The Diva ran well in a similar race on his chase debut at Tramore in November (The Miracle Man finished seventh) and can get involved. Jap Pee M was an unlucky point-to-point loser last month and had prior hurdles form.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and MIGHTY OAK LAD looks to have been found a good opportunity to build on his excellent recent Navan third and get off the mark in this sphere. In-form duo John The Diva and Rightfolksplease appeal as the pick of the remainder and can chase home Karl Thornton's 7-y-o in that order.

A chance is taken on JAY PEE M, who would have won a Boulta point-to-point readily but for a fall at the final fence last month

7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Soloman Lane	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Soloman Lane 12/1, 20/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (20.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal. Mistake three out latest, pulling up before the last; contender if he's back to his best.

A chance is taken that PRINCE ZALTAR will be ready following over a year off, as he is well handicapped in this sphere. A three-time winner and runner-up in an Aintree hurdle when rated 121 last December, he has competed in just two career chases but finished a good second on his latest effort and represents a yard which is doing well. Optional Mix has failed to capitalise on a lower hurdle rating in recent times but is better over fences. She won her previous chase race in June and today's rider claims 7lb. Five-time winner Where's Frankie is much better than he showed over hurdles at Navan last month but nonetheless would prefer further than today's distance.

PRINCE ZALTAR is very well handicapped on hurdling form and this is a decidedly weak contest in which few arrive in form, so he's worth taking a chance on despite returning from an absence of 13 months. Optional Mix can make her presence felt if bouncing back from a poor run and market support for Secret She Keeps would look significant.

STREET VALUE won this race in 2022, is back down to his last winning mark and has an exceptional record in January

7	7 (7) (20/1 +20%) Kilbarry Ace	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Kilbarry Ace 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in bumper (25/1) at Galway (16f, heavy) 69 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Showed some ability on her second bumper start at Naas last April; well below that since.

QUEEN'S MEADOW represents a yard with an excellent recent record. A stablemate won a recent Leopardstown bumper while another attained a Christmas Grade 1 hurdle place, and with Queen's Meadow being a sister to a Nicky Henderson-trained once-raced bumper winner, she could have useful ability. Introversio represents Willie Mullins and she too could be smart. By the same sire as King Of Kingsfield, both Introversio's siblings have already won including smart recent winner Honky Tonk Highway. There are quite a few smart bumper performers in Gers Shadow's pedigree, while Dancing Dame has shown some form but will struggle to win.

INTROVERSIO is with a top handler and is related to a bumper winner, so she's an obvious choice to make a successful start in what looks a thin mares' event on paper. Queen's Mead also makes some appeal on pedigree and Dancing Dame should give her running back down in grade.

INTROVERSIO has a nice-looking profile and the Willie Mullins-trained mare should take all the beating in a winnable race

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
