16:45 Dundalk Stakes 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (9/4 -29%) Francis Meynell	2.25 9/4(-29%)	(2) Francis Meynell 9/4, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 7/1, 16 lengths last of 8 to Big Evs in Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster (5f, good to soft), making effort earlier than ideal. Off 91 days and not ruled out in these calmer waters. Unsuited by soft at Doncaster; dropped in grade so has to be respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 +27%) Tarsus	8 8/1(+27%)	(3) Tarsus 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner maiden (66/1) at this C&D 9 days ago, just holding on. This is much tougher though. Much improved for recent C&D maiden win but much more on his plate here.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/11 +39%) Moral Turpitude	0.909091 10/11(+39%)	(4) Moral Turpitude 10/11, Fairly useful filly. 15/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at this C&D 42 days ago. Holds leading form claims. Looked good when taking C&D maiden last month; major player.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -57%) Scorchio	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(5) Scorchio 11/2, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 7-runner nursery at this C&D (4/6) 16 days ago, comfortably. Very much one to consider. Thriving with racing, second C&D nursery win coming latest; respected.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -21%) Elliott	40 40/1(-21%)	(1) Elliott 40/1, Modest colt. Winner at Wolverhampton in October. 7/2, below form fifth of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) 42 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Rebecca Menzies. Wolverhampton nursery winner for Rebecca Menzies; stiff task on yard debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (300/1 -200%) Freedom Ring	300 300/1(-200%)	(6) Freedom Ring 300/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 13 in minor event at this course (7f) 9 days ago. Back down in trip. Three poor runs, easily overlooked.

LTO Selection:

MORAL TURPITUDE was conceding 13lb when narrowly beaten by Scorchio in a C&D nursery in October before making all to win a maiden by six lengths next time. The daughter of Raven's Pass was smartly away on the latter occasion and could be hard to peg back if breaking similarly well. Scorchio gained a second nursery victory here last month and is capable of further improvement but may find the selection too strong this time at level weights. Francis Meynell handled a little ease in the ground when making all on debut at Naas but was said to have found conditions too soft when failing to beat a rival in a Group 2 at Doncaster. It's easy to forgive that but he has to give the selection 10lb. Tarsus sprang a 66/1 shock in a maiden last week but has more to do in this company.

MORAL TURPITUDE holds much the best form on the back of her C&D success so rates a confident choice to follow up. Francis Meynell is feared most now lowered in grade, with recent C&D winner Scorchio also in the mix.

Preference is for MORAL TURPITUDE, who really put it together in a C&D maiden last time and if getting a good break, could be the one

LTO Selection:

Michael O'Callaghan always knows what he has on his hands and the fact that STEP IT OUT was heavily backed into favouritism when second on debut here last month augurs well for her prospects of going one better on her return to Dundalk. Beaten by a gelding also making his debut then, the daughter of Inns Of Court can regain losses in fillies only company. Sweet Delta Dawn, from a family of dirt performers in North America, had 21 rivals behind when second to a subsequent stakes-winning colt at the Curragh in August. She steps up a furlong and it's interesting that she comes here after a break rather than being put away until the turf racing returns. Clarita was placed for the third time when touched off over 6f here a fortnight ago and may again have to settle for minor honours. Labhaoise, by Phoenix Of Spain, represents a yard which does well here while Buckhead Betty, a second runner for Joseph O'Brien, cost 100,000 pounds as a yearling and is a half-sister to an all-weather winner.

SWEET DELTA DAWN fared easily the best of the newcomers when runner-up in a big field at the Curragh in August and is narrowly preferred to Step It Out, who showed plenty to work on when second over this C&D last month. The selection's stablemate Buckhead Betty makes the most appeal of the newcomers.

It's hard to get away from SWEET DELTA DAWN (nap) who only found a subsequent Listed winner too good on debut and she should take to AW

17:45 Dundalk Maiden 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (9/4 +36%) Swan Band	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(13) Swan Band 9/4, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 14 in maiden at this C&D (15/8) 14 days ago. Progressing gradually and should give another good account. Improved with 2 promising efforts here this winter; better than the result when 2nd latest.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +50%) Oriental Dancer	4 4/1(+50%)	(9) Oriental Dancer 4/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 9 days ago. Trainer going well. Hood on 1st time. Went close in h'caps in Britain; similar standard when C&D 5th last week; this is tougher.
3	4 3rd (4) (40/1 +39%) State Actor	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) State Actor 40/1, Raven's Pass gelding. Half-brother to minor US winner by War Front. Dam, US 8.5f winner, half-sister to very smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (stayed 1¼m) War Command. Raven's Pass gelding; half-brother to 1m turf winner; best watched on belated debut.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 -71%) Nituna	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Nituna 12/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Below form fifth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (11/2) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. 2nd in Oct' but not as good since; no improvement for AW latest; may want return to h'caps.
5th	1 5th (1) (66/1 +56%) Easy Way	66 66/1(+56%)	(1) Easy Way 66/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 14 in maiden at this C&D (33/1) 30 days ago. Showed a bit more over this C&D a month ago but others have achieved more.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 -50%) Pro Bono Alexander	12 12/1(-50%)	(11) Pro Bono Alexander 12/1, Twice-raced filly. 5/1, first run since leaving Jessica Harrington when fourth of 7 in maiden at this course (6f) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Showed she retains ability after long absence last month; interesting stepping up in trip.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 -25%) Nation At War	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Nation At War 125/1, War Command gelding. Half-brother to French 2-y-o 5f-7f winner Fast Berry. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to Queen Mary Stakes winner Ceiling Kitty. War Command gelding; speed on dam's side of his pedigree; unlikely to be involved on debut.
8th	14 8th (14) (25/1 -108%) Yamalia Star	25 25/1(-108%)	(14) Yamalia Star 25/1, Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in maiden at this course (12f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Went close in 1m3f h'cap (heavy) earlier in year but lost her way since; 1m may not suit.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/4 +65%) Mooretown Lad	2.25 9/4(+65%)	(2) Mooretown Lad 9/4, Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (15/2) 42 days ago. May have more to offer with Colin Keane taking the ride again. Promise on debut and not ideally positioned over C&D since; more to come.
10th	12 10th (12) (100/1 +0%) Second Girl	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Second Girl 100/1, Second Thought filly. Dam unraced. Second Thought filly; yard's newcomers generally best watched.
11th	6 11th (6) (10/3 -104%) Dawn Rider	3.333333 10/3(-104%)	(6) Dawn Rider 10/3, Twice-raced filly. 5/1, second of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago. Down in trip. Leading claims for top connections. Not disgraced on debut before 2nd here last week behind nice prospect; high on shortlist.
12th	10 12th (10) (200/1 -33%) Pretty Brown Eyes	200 200/1(-33%)	(10) Pretty Brown Eyes 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Twelfth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (125/1) 42 days ago. Well held in two maidens at triple figure odds so far and hard to fancy at present.
13th	5 13th (5) (150/1 -50%) Becausedellasaidso	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Becausedellasaidso 150/1, Kuroshio filly. Dam ran twice out of US 2-y-o 1m winner Regally Bred. Kuroshio filly; interesting on breeding but about to turn 4 concern we haven't seen her.
14th	7 14th (7) (200/1 -33%) Irredentist	200 200/1(-33%)	(7) Irredentist 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Twelfth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, heavy, 200/1) 45 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Shown very little at huge odds in two runs so far and handicaps after this run.

LTO Selection:

SWAN BAND has run well on both starts over C&D including when runner-up, with Nituna back in fifth, two weeks ago. Sent off favourite, the daughter of Awtaad had no excuses when beaten by four lengths but the well-exposed winner did seem to show improved form. Galileo filly Dawn Rider took a nice step forward from her debut when second over a longer trip last week. She kept battling away in genuine fashion and is a big player but might just be vulnerable dropping back almost three furlongs. Mooretown Lad, whose classy brother I Am Superman won readily here last week, was three lengths behind the selection last month when both horses were making their second starts and is from a family that improve with racing. State Actor is out of a half-sister to Dewhurst winner War Command and is a newcomer to keep an eye on.

DAWN RIDER took a nice step forward from her debut when runner-up over a longer trip here last Friday and can strike at the third time of asking. Swan Band is making steady progress and is second choice ahead of Mooretown Lad, the mount of Colin Keane.

It was a much improved run from DAWN RIDER when only beaten a length by a nice prospect here last week and she shaped like 1m may suit

18:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (12/1 -60%) Run The Jewels	12 12/1(-60%)	(4) Run The Jewels 12/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 42 days ago. Not taken lightly. Lost his way since h'cap win in 2022; well backed beaten fav when 4s latest but had excuse.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 +15%) Monzoon	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(1) Monzoon 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Good second of 14 in claimer at this course (7f, 10/1) 9 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Noel C. Kelly. Enters calculations. Won C&D claimer last month and narrowly denied over 7f last week; another new yard.

Good second of 14 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on form. All 3 wins over C&D; kept on gamely to win C&D h'cap before head defeat latest; respected.
7th	10 7th (10) (7/2 +36%) Roman Palace	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(10) Roman Palace 7/2, 12/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has appreciated return to AW and has gone close last twice; leniently left on same mark.
8th	12 8th (12) (25/1 -14%) Flag High	25 25/1(-14%)	(12) Flag High 25/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Fifth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Chance if rediscovering old form. 0-16; struggling but showed signs of revival over C&D last week; needs to build on that.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -25%) Fahari	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Fahari 20/1, 20/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Yard having good spell. Visor on 1st time. 0-12; went close on AW in Britain but hasn't progressed for this yard; best form at 7f.

First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won 4 for Stuart Williams, 3 on AW; has run well at this trip previously; off five months.

LTO Selection:

FEATURE THIS has a cracking record over C&D and went close to a fourth win of the year three weeks ago. Paul Flynn's filly went down by just a head to an unexposed rival and should be in with every chance again off a 2lb higher mark. Monzoon has returned to form in claimers here recently, winning easily on his final start for Ross O'Sullivan and just failing over 7f last week. He has since moved stables again and has a wide draw to overcome for his Donegal connections. International Lady had a couple of near misses over 7f during a busy spell in early November and has been freshened up while Calum Hogan is an interesting booking for three-time winner Run The Jewels who was a disappointing favourite here last time but is capable of better. The maiden Roman Palace ran two solid races over C&D last month and is well drawn.

FEATURE THIS is not ideally drawn but a double-digit stall didn't stop her from going close over C&D three weeks ago and another bold show is on the cards. Monzoon did well to run the winner so close on unfavourable terms in a 7f claimer here last week and he is second choice ahead of Roman Palace, who also found just one too good here last time. Run The Jewels has slipped to an attractive mark and also commands respect.

INTERNATIONAL LADY wasn't seen to best effect on her latest outing but she should appreciate going back up in trip

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won 3 this year but struggling for form of late and 0-8 at this venue.

LTO Selection:

Three-year-old NIBRAS RAINBOW returned to form over course and distance last week and should compete from 2lb higher. Ideally suited by a mile on fast or all-weather surfaces, he again competes from a winnable rating and looks sure to run well. Comfort Line's rating dropped 27lb in 2023 before winning over C&D last week. He had previously been well beaten in two claimers in recent months but should run well from 5lb higher than last week's rating. Six-time winner Indiana Grey is consistent, suited by conditions and has been running competitively from her rating recently. Chummie had been lightly-raced in recent times and is effectively 4lb higher than when winning over C&D in November.

Last-time-out winners CHUMMIE and Comfort Line both make plenty of appeal. Marginal preference is for the fomer, who hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but she looked on good terms with herself when making all over C&D last month and she's drawn to attack in stall one. Kudbegood wasn't at his best last time but has claims judged on his solid second here in January while Indiana Grey and Nibras Rainbow are others to consider in a competitive handicap.

Last week's winner COMFORT LINE can go in again having only gone up 6lb for pulling clear with a well treated rival

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (13/2 +0%) Daamberdiplomat	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(4) Daamberdiplomat 13/2, Creditable third of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, finishing with running left. Ought to be in the shake-up. Unlucky-in-running C&D third last month; definitely one to consider.
2	8 2nd (8) (8/1 +0%) Dontspoilasale	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Dontspoilasale 8/1, 11/2, good 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Inishmot Prince in handicap at this course (5f) 7 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently. Clear second to Inishmot Prince here last Friday; not sure he can reverse that form.

4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -17%) Jered Maddox	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) Jered Maddox 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Laytown in September. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 28 days ago. Shortlisted. Never one to rule out; hold-up performer so wide draw no big deal.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 -45%) Inishmot Prince	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) Inishmot Prince 8/1, 3-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (4/1) at this course (5f) 7 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Dontspoilasale. In the mix. Dundalk specialist recorded eighth win last Friday; career-high mark now, still respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (3/1 +45%) Volatile Analyst	3 3/1(+45%)	(7) Volatile Analyst 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 14 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, worst of draw. Yard in good form. Claims. Back to form over C&D last month but may not confirm form with Daamberdiplomat.
7th	5 7th (5) (7/1 +30%) Collective Power	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Collective Power 7/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. 6/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Navan (5f, heavy) 58 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account. First AW run since C&D win in April and career-best needed off this mark.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/2 +8%) Gobi Star	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(10) Gobi Star 11/2, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (7f, 4/1) 16 days ago. Can go well again. Hat-trick seeker but will need a strong pace now dropped in trip.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -33%) Final Voyage	16 16/1(-33%)	(1) Final Voyage 16/1, 7/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good). Off 6 months. Best on AW but over longer trips and lacks a recent run.

11th	3 11th (3) (16/1 +20%) Rough Diamond	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Rough Diamond 16/1, C&D winner. 14/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, soft). Off 7 months. Absent since May but C&D winner has run well fresh (and for this rider).
12th	2 12th (2) (22/1 -38%) Prisoner's Dilemma	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Prisoner's Dilemma 22/1, 4-time course winner. Last of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 96 days. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. Still merits consideration. Four-time Dundalk winner but returning from a break and not the best of draws.
13th	13 13th (13) (80/1 -100%) Charming Lady	80 80/1(-100%)	(13) Charming Lady 80/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in August. 10 lengths eighth of 10 to Inishmot Prince in handicap (40/1) at this course (5f) 7 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Plenty to find with stablemate Inishmot Prince on last Friday's comeback run here.

LTO Selection:

DAAMBERDIPLOMAT was unlucky having been snatched-up late-on when finishing third over course and distance in November. A Curragh juvenile maiden winner and once rated 96, that mark has recently fallen, he is ideally suited by this C&D and can turn November form with Volatile Analyst, being 4lb better off. Both Ostraka, which finished sixth, and Jered Maddox, in seventh, weren't beaten far in that race with Dontspoilasale (12th) and Petit Calvados (13th) being well held. Eight-time winner Inishmot Prince is in excellent form but competes from a career high mark. Gobi Star similarly competes from a career-high mark chasing a hat-trick and while his recent wins have been over seven furlongs. has won at this distance. Collective Power hasn't run on the all-weather since defeating Jered Maddox to win here in April and with his rating dropping 2lb, should compete under Colin Keane. Stablemate Marsa has an excellent all-weather record but lacks a run and while she won at this distance as a juvenile, would prefer seven furlongs. Dontspoilasale's best form is over five furlongs.

Plenty are in with a shout. MARSA has an excellent record here and also figures on a handy-looking mark so gets the vote in a very open-looking handicap. Gobi Star heads the list of dangers on the back of his own recent success here, with Jered Maddox and Daamberdipomat also firmly in the picture.

It could pay to take a chance on MARSA, who lacks a recent run but her Curragh third reads well and is a four-time winner here

Effort best excused when sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Not taken lightly. Below best in slowly-run affair latest but triple C&D winner still respected.
5th	14 5th (14) (9/1 -38%) Zig Zag Zyggy	9 9/1(-38%)	(14) Zig Zag Zyggy 9/1, Course winner. 14/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, no match for winner. Stable in good form. Another bold show likely. C&D second 9 days ago when denied clear run; one to consider.

Down in trip. Chance if rediscovering old form. Encouraging yard debut here last month; potentially interesting back in trip here.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 +36%) My Girl Sioux	9 9/1(+36%)	(9) My Girl Sioux 9/1, 22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 14 to Senado Square in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago, having to pick way through. Unlucky fourth to stablemate Senado Square under 7lb claimer; senior rider takes over.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -82%) Thirtysecondstreet	20 20/1(-82%)	(8) Thirtysecondstreet 20/1, 66/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. Shortlist material. Encouraging C&D return from long absence; good draw.
9th	1 9th (1) (25/1 +24%) Un Bacio Ancora	25 25/1(+24%)	(1) Un Bacio Ancora 25/1, C&D winner. One win from 27 Flat runs. 10¼ lengths tenth of 14 to Theriverrunsdeep in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 9 days ago. Booking of Heffernan a plus. Others more persuasive. C&D claiming winner but recent form poor so hard to fancy.
10th	3 10th (3) (5/1 +75%) Phil's Dream	5 5/1(+75%)	(3) Phil's Dream 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 23 in handicap (40/1) at the Curragh (7f, good), merely passing beaten rivals.

LTO Selection:

ZIG ZAG ZYGGY was rated 85 in 2021 and while no longer at that level, ran well over C&D recently. He ended a long losing spell when winning in July and while only one of his seven wins have come on the all-weather, competes from the same mark as nine days ago with today's rider claiming 5lb. Three-year-old Senado Square has already raced against 10 of today's 16 declared opponents. A heavy-ground winner last March, he has run well here twice recently and while beaten 1.75 lengths by Theriverrunsdeep nine days ago, that run came five days after winning, he met some trouble in-running and is 2lb better off. Theriverrunsdeep is ideally suited by this distance while Hero Of The Our was well held here last month but is a three-time C&D winner. Another C&D winner Un Bacio Ancora was well beaten on two recent runs while Poet's Pride finished fourth behind the selection over C&D nine days ago. My Girl Sioux is a 17-race maiden while Shaaden drops in distance having shown some promise on Irish debut.

SENADO SQUARE has found top form recently and remains well treated on his best efforts, so he gets the nod ahead of Zig Zag Zyggy, who is also on an appealing mark. Theriverrunsdeep is also a player if she can back up her latest effort.

Senado Square merits respect but stablemate MY GIRL SIOUX could prove better value

LTO Selection:

Recent course maiden winner PITTSFORD might be suited by stepping up slightly in distance for his handicap debut. His sire Ulysses' progeny like middle distances, with a half-brother winning a French Group 3 winner over 1m3f and being race-fit, is likely to compete from his rating. Oakley was dropping in distance when winning here in November but his prior German form was over staying distances, which suggests he should also compete, despite being 4lb higher. Miss Paloma managed to overcome a 773 days absence to win last month and while she too steps up in distance, has form at this trip although is 6lb higher. Yokkell is 3lb higher than when also wining over a slightly shorter trip recently (Giselles Defence finished third) but remains a fraction unexposed on the all-weather. In-form Celtic Revival drops in distance but is well suited by 12 furlongs.

An ultra-competitive finale in which preference is for GISELLES DEFENCE, who has been knocking at the door in recent weeks and Gavin Cromwell's 3-y-o can make it thirteenth time lucky. Pittsford showed improved form to get off the mark at this track 4 weeks ago and he could emerge the main danger now handicapping, with Oakley and John Alexander another couple fancied to be in the mix.

A quartet of recent course winners, most interestingly Oakley and MISS PALOMA, both proven at the trip with the latter preferred

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
