1st (2)  (1.88/1 +37%)Ganesha |
1.88/1(+37%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ganesha 1.88/1, C&D winner in May on debut. Ran creditably when third of 10 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 13/2) 12 days ago. Can give another good account as he heads into nurseries. Third off this mark in nursery at Carlisle 12 days ago and he can be in the mix. |
|
2nd (4)  (5/1 +29%)Indication Call |
5/1(+29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Indication Call 5/1, Visored for 1st time, put experience to good use when winning 4-runner maiden at Ayr (5f, good, 11/8) 73 days ago (subsequently gelded). Will need to find more as as he makes his handicap bow. Makes nursery debut after break; top northern trainer runs two; market may be informative. |
|
3rd (5)  (3.33/1 +0%)Sayidh Kingman |
3.33/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sayidh Kingman 3.33/1, Ran best race yet when fourth of 9 in maiden at this course (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 29 days ago, collared final strides. Can make a winning handicap debut back down in trip. Latest form has worked out well; could benefit from the drop back in trip on nursery debut. |
|
4th (1)  (1.88/1 +6%)Valour And Swagger |
1.88/1(+6%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Valour And Swagger 1.88/1, Made winning debut at Windsor in April. 12/1, well below previous form when tenth of 12 in minor event at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Can get back on track now handicapping returned to 5f/softer ground. Likely to be back on slow surface for this first nursery start and could play leading role. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
VALOUR AND SWAGGER failed to make an impact in the Woodcote last month, but, having raced keenly out wide, that performance can be forgiven. The son of Blue Point sluiced up on soft ground to make a winning debut in April and lost nothing in defeat when finishing second at Ascot the following month. The return to slower ground conditions ought to be in his favour and Karl Burke's charge is fancied to give weight and a beating to his rivals. Ganesha appeals as his main danger, while Indication Call heads the remainder.
On her third start, SAYIDH KINGMAN produced her best effort when not beaten far at this course last time and she can continue her progress back down in trip for her handicap debut. Charlie Johnston's filly is taken to get the better of Valour And Swagger, who could get back on track now handicapping, while Ganesha also merits consideration.
Topweight VALOUR AND SWAGGER showed plenty of promise on soft going in the first half of the spring and gets the nod.

1st (4)  (3/1 +0%)Agonyclite |
3/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Agonyclite 3/1, Winner at Newcastle in March. Returned to form when ¾-length second of 9 to Rain Cap in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly off same mark. Second to Rain Cap over 7f at Catterick and shaped as though he would be fine back at 6f. |
|
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 -40%)Rain Cap |
3.5/1(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rain Cap 3.5/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 9-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago by ¾ length from Agonyclite. 5 lb penalty to carry now but another bold bid is on the cards. Won this last year and scored at Catterick last week; key player if again on a going day. |
|
3rd (5)  (9/1 +25%)The Gay Blade |
9/1(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Gay Blade 9/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 25/1) 3 days ago. Others preferred. 1lb lower than for last September's C&D win but unable to threaten since. |
|
4th (1)  (3/1 +40%)Autumn Flight |
3/1(+40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Autumn Flight 3/1, Dual winner this year who has acquitted himself well in defeat in recent starts, latest when sixth of 12 in Beverley handicap (5f, soft) 2 days ago. Respected. Fourth of 15 over C&D three weeks ago; didn't run badly on Tuesday; might not be far away. |
|
5th (8)  (9/1 +0%)Zegos Surprise |
9/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Zegos Surprise 9/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 13/2) 10 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 1 lb out of the weights. On a long losing run but perhaps this stiff track will help; not ruled out each-way. |
|
6th (6)  (14/1 +22%)Kraken Florida |
14/1(+22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kraken Florida 14/1, Winner at Newcastle in February. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 16/1) 29 days ago, missing break. Others more persuasive. In good form on AW early this year and back from a break when mid-division last time. |
|
7th (3)  (33/1 -175%)Somewhere Secret |
33/1(-175%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Somewhere Secret 33/1, First run since leaving Lisa Williamson when last of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago, lost all chance at start. Back up in trip. Chance on old form. His mark continues to tumble but this 9yo has struggled this season. |
|
8th (10)  (16/1 +36%)Nodsasgoodasawink |
16/1(+36%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Nodsasgoodasawink 16/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 3 days ago. Risky proposition at present. 1 lb out of the weights. Has been running off this basement mark this season and she's been unable to threaten. |
|
9th (9)  (8.5/1 +6%)Sharrabang |
8.5/1(+6%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sharrabang 8.5/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Carlisle (5f, good) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Not out of things. 1 lb out of the weights. On a long losing run but some good efforts this season and could be a contender. |
|
10th (12)  (100/1 -52%)Christy's Star |
100/1(-52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Christy's Star 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap (150/1) at this course (5f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Hard to fancy. 1 lb out of the weights. Big odds and well beaten on all five starts; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A few of these will need more to feature, so it looks best to side with recent Catterick scorer RAIN CAP. The six-year-old won the corresponding event last year and, having defied higher marks in the past, he appeals as the one to beat under a penalty. Agonyclite, who finished behind him in second that day, is entitled to go close with a 5lb swing at the weights. Somewhere Secret can chase the pair home.
RAIN CAP had a bit in hand when scoring at Catterick last week and is taken to follow up. Agonyclite and Autumn Flight head the list of dangers.
Last year's winner Rain Cap won at Catterick last week but carries a penalty and the runner-up AGONYCLITE can gain his revenge.

2.75/1(-10%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bashful 2.75/1, Thriving at present, resuming winning ways here (8.3f) in May and, following a wind op, produced a career-best display to follow up in comfortable fashion at Newcastle (10.2f) last month. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid is anticipated. Has won his last two (here on the first occasion) and holds strong claims once more. |
|
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 -29%)Shine On Brendan |
4.5/1(-29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shine On Brendan 4.5/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 12-runner handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good, 3/1) 15 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and must enter calculations. Three-time course winner who won in reapplied blinkers at Musselburgh latest; key player. |
|
3rd (2)  (3.5/1 +42%)Detective |
3.5/1(+42%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Detective 3.5/1, Course winner. Third of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Course winner who has been in fair form at Carlisle and might not be far away. |
|
4th (1)  (3.5/1 +22%)Zozimus |
3.5/1(+22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zozimus 3.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Yet to really threaten for new yard but drops back in grade today and not written off. |
|
5th (4)  (4/1 +43%)Bobby's Blessing |
4/1(+43%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bobby's Blessing 4/1, Made winning debut at Beverley in May and ran to similar level in defeat both starts since. Untried on slow ground but remains low mileage and can't be ruled out. Fair fourth of six at Beverley in his first handicap and he's in good hands to progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having defeated Shine On Brendan over course and distance in May, BASHFUL showed the benefit of recent wind surgery when following up at Newcastle last month. Iain Jardine's charge is now 5lb higher back on turf, but that might not be enough to stop him. The aforementioned must be considered following his latest Musselburgh success, while the versatile Detective can mount a serious challenge too.
BASHFUL arrives at the top of his game and makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid. Shine On Brendan is feared most.
Course winners Bashful and SHINE ON BRENDAN arrive in fine form and preference is for Jim Goldie's runner.

1st (4)  (0.57/1 +22%)Botanical |
0.57/1(+22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Botanical 0.57/1, Made plenty of appeal on pedigree and duly posted promising second of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 43 days ago, staying on well. Likely has more to offer yet. Went very close on debut at Kempton and has leading claims for top Newmarket yard. |
|
2nd (2)  (2.5/1 -43%)Crack Shot |
2.5/1(-43%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crack Shot 2.5/1, Promising sort. Left debut form well behind when taking 15-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 35 days ago, bit in hand. Should have more to offer. Won Nottingham maiden on second start and can continue to improve; respected under penalty. |
|
3rd (9)  (3/1 +54%)Unlimited |
3/1(+54%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Unlimited 3/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 29 days ago. Returns to shorter trip and can't be discounted. Has something to find but has shown ability and could take big step forward at some point. |
|
4th (11)  (80/1 -60%)Metric |
80/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Metric 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in minor event (150/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Will hold stronger claims in handicaps down the line. Unable to make an impact on first two starts and handicaps will be a more realistic option. |
|
5th (6)  (200/1 -100%)Doon The Glen |
200/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Doon The Glen 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 150/1) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Up against it. Big odds and soundly beaten at Doncaster (6f, good) this month on first two starts. |
|
6th (8)  (125/1 -150%)Time To Spark |
125/1(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Time To Spark 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Work to do. 40-1, beaten 10l when sixth of nine on last Thursday's debut at Doncaster (6f, good). |
|
7th (3)  (150/1 -355%)Be Rural |
150/1(-355%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Be Rural 150/1, Oasis Dream gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 9f Gender Agenda and winner up to 1½m Unex El Greco and winner up to 1m Comradeship, all useful. Pedigree catches the eye but he may be one for further down the line. |
|
8th (10)  (50/1 -25%)Clash Of The Ash |
50/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Clash Of The Ash 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1 and hooded, eighth of 12 in minor event at Haydock (7f, firm) on debut 13 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to progress. Pretty encouraging run behind easy winner at Haydock on debut; each-way contender. |
|
9th (5)  (100/1 -100%)Bowood |
100/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bowood 100/1, 155,000 gns yearling, £8,000 3-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Brother to useful 7f-9f winner Love And Thunder and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Girl On Film and 6f/7f winner Golden Empire. 155,000gns yearling, £8,000 3yo; check betting on debut but a watching brief may be best. |
|
10th (7)  (250/1 -400%)Holdemfoldem |
250/1(-400%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Holdemfoldem 250/1, Orientor gelding. Dam, placed at 6f/7f, half-sister to useful 6f winner Giant Spark (by Orientor). Second foal; dam placed at 6f/7f (RPR 54); others make greater appeal than this newcomer. |
|
11th (1)  (150/1 -200%)Big Hamish |
150/1(-200%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Big Hamish 150/1, Orientor gelding. Brother to 5f winner Lord of The Glen. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to very smart 5f-7f winner Jack Dexter (by Orientor). Likely a longer-term prospect. Brother to two winners for the yard; makes his belated debut and is probably best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Crack Shot took a sizeable step forward from his first start to score at Nottingham over an extended mile, where he accounted for a subsequent winner back in third, but he may struggle to give his 7lb penalty away to BOTANICAL. The son of Lope De Vega showed plenty of promise on debut at Kempton when just held for second by a neck and he appears open to improvement. Any market support for Big Hamish on debut should be noted.
This can go to BOTANICAL, who was doing his best work at the finish on debut at Kempton last month and will have learnt plenty from that experience. Crack Shot looks the obvious danger on the back of his Nottingham victory, whilst Unlimited can also make his presence felt.
The Roger Varian-trained BOTANICAL kept on well to go close on last month's debut over 7f at Kempton and he can go one better.

5/1(-82%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Trabajo Detecho 5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 20 days ago. High on the shortlist. Has twice gone very close at Doncaster this year and a first turf win may well be imminent. |
|
2nd (2)  (1.1/1 +63%)Happier |
1.1/1(+63%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Happier 1.1/1, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable second of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 15/2) 7 days ago. Remains unexposed and likely to be in the mix once again. Lightly raced filly who was runner-up on recent handicap debut at Carlisle; plenty to like. |
|
3rd (5)  (16/1 +52%)Wurkin Ninetofive |
16/1(+52%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wurkin Ninetofive 16/1, 22/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 16 days ago and, chances are, she will come up short once again. Reappeared with encouraging third but soundly beaten in first three handicaps. |
|
4th (7)  (5.5/1 -38%)Bryce |
5.5/1(-38%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bryce 5.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 10 days ago. Due to go up 2 lb for that near-miss and a bold show is on the cards. 0-11 but went very close in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ripon last Monday. |
|
5th (6)  (4.5/1 -29%)Stormy Pearl |
4.5/1(-29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Stormy Pearl 4.5/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (5f, good, 11/4) 16 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she has to enter calculations. Made it 2-2 here with narrow victory a fortnight ago and the runner-up has gone one better. |
|
6th (3)  (11/1 +39%)Malinheadsearovers |
11/1(+39%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Malinheadsearovers 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Couldn't be sure that this drop back in trip is what he wants. Only fifth on handicap debut (7f, AW) but the return to slow turf may be a plus. |
|
7th (4)  (40/1 -300%)Stella Blue |
40/1(-300%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stella Blue 40/1, 12/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Yard saddled the winner of this last year but others preferred all the same. Very up and down in short career but perhaps cheekpieces will provoke a positive reaction. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Happier has finished in the top two on her last three outings, the latest effort coming at Carlisle, where she was no match for the winner in second but showed plenty of promise on her first handicap start. However, preference is for TRABAJO DETECHO, who ran with huge credit at Doncaster to fill the runner-up spot in this grade and with a repeat of that display, he could be the one to beat. Last-time-out victor Stormy Pearl isn't out of it either.
BRYCE is still a maiden but he is taken to buck that trend here on the back of a near-miss in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ripon 10 days ago. Trabajo Detecho is pretty consistent on the whole and is likely to give another good account of himself, while Happier and recent course winner Stormy Pearl are others to consider.
The unexposed HAPPIER (nap) bumped into the highly progressive Sophia's Starlight when runner-up at Carlisle and can go one better.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Spanish Hustle 2.25/1, Temperamental sort. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 11/4, good second of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 15 days ago. One of two representatives for last year's winning yard and he needs considering. Arrives in fine form and he's a player if the slow ground doesn't inconvenience him. |
|
2nd (2)  (7/1 -40%)Can Can Girl |
7/1(-40%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Can Can Girl 7/1, Temperamental sort. 14/1, first run since leaving David Brown when creditable third of 6 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, better placed than most. Likely to be on the premises. Encouraging third at Beverley on stable/seasonal debut and could build on that performance. |
|
3rd (8)  (5/1 -25%)Blazer Two |
5/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Blazer Two 5/1, One win from 3 runs this year. 5/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward. Below par on last two runs but won in May and not written off on stable debut. |
|

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Navigator 6.5/1, Last of 5 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Kelso (16.2f, good to firm) 53 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Significantly down in trip. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. 1lb below last winning mark but hasn't really shone over hurdles this year. |

20/1(-11%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ghostly 20/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, 18 lengths seventh of 8 to Lochnaver in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Becoming well treated but others preferred all the same. Case can be made on this year's best AW form but beaten a long way on turf the last twice. |

6th (4)  (6.5/1 +64%)Smart Lass |
6.5/1(+64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Smart Lass 6.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft, 11/1) 12 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and likely to find a few too good once more. Some good runs in the spring but likes Musselburgh and she's never run well here. |
|
7th (6)  (6/1 -33%)Lochnaver |
6/1(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lochnaver 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Fourth of 5 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 2/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. More needed now that new mark has kicked in. Disappointing favourite here last time but 4l win here previously; could bounce back. |
|
8th (3)  (10/1 +44%)Hezmie |
10/1(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hezmie 10/1, 66/1, last of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to firm) 38 days ago, slowly away. Best to look elsewhere. Mark continues to fall but she's been beaten a long way on her three starts this year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SPANISH HUSTLE went in over C&D on his penultimate start and continued that form with a very good second by a neck at Musselburgh on his latest outing, so he could be hard to stop in arriving in a similar vein of form. The main danger might be Can Can Girl, who could improve on her first effort for the Tim Easterby yard when third at Beverley and now competes off 1lb lower, while The Navigator is of interest on his return to the Flat.
If back to his best BLAZER TWO could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. He is just 1 lb above the mark off which he was successful at Leicester at the end of May and the booking of Joe Fanning is a plus. Spanish Hustle could be the pick of the Jim Goldie-trained duo and is second choice ahead of Can Can Girl and stablemate Lochnaver.
The well-handicapped CAN CAN GIRL is taken to score on her second start for Tim Easterby, having reappeared with a promising third.

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.
