1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -25%) Our Laura B		5 5/1(-25%)																															(3) Our Laura B 5/1, Reached the frame in a couple of novice hurdles at Sedgefield before making successful switch to handicap company over C&D in March. Just touched off at Ludlow (good to soft) next time and likely to be in the thick of things once more. Stylish C&D winner on handicap debut in March and went very close at Ludlow last month.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +33%) Emily Wade		4 4/1(+33%)																															(8) Emily Wade 4/1, Just modest form at best in bumpers (for Tjade Collier) but confirmed promise of handicap debut in this sphere when scoring at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in March. Creditable second off 5 lb higher at Carlisle (17f, soft) since (nudged up a further 2 lb for that) and she's a key player back up in trip. Backed up her breakthrough win in March with a good effort in defeat last month; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 +52%) Starlyte		3.33 3.33/1(+52%)																															(2) Starlyte 3.33/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for new yard over C&D in November. Largely respectable efforts in defeat since and now 2 lb below that winning mark, so she needs considering with conditions in her favour. Not running badly this year, and now 2lb lower than when scoring over C&D in November.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 -122%) Theirshegoes		20 20/1(-122%)																															(5) Theirshegoes 20/1, Signs of promise sole start in bumpers and similar story when fifth of 9 on second of 3 starts in novice company. Raised her game when third on handicap debut upped to 3m at Perth (good to soft) last month but she was rather wayward under pressure and this demands another step forward. Placed on recent handicap debut and may have a bigger run in her on this left-handed track.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -100%) Lady Mendoza		18 18/1(-100%)																															(4) Lady Mendoza 18/1, Won completed start in Irish points during the spring and positive start under Rules when second in a C&D novice event (soft) in November. However, no show both subsequent starts and needs to bounce back in a major way with cheekpieces added for this handicap bow. Second over C&D on rules debut but two disappointing runs have followed; cheekpieces added.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +52%) Maisie Too		12 12/1(+52%)																															(11) Maisie Too 12/1, Modest form in a quartet of bumpers and comfortably held in 3 novice hurdles. Beaten when unseating 2 out on recent handicap debut at Perth in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) and looks set for another struggle. Well held when unseating rider on handicap debut; significant improvement needed.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 +44%) Dot Cotton		9 9/1(+44%)																															(7) Dot Cotton 9/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden but she hasn't pulled up any trees in half-a-dozen starts for present yard. Mark continues on the slide but likely to come up short once again in any case. Not beaten far at Perth last month but is 0-11 now; others have more appealing profiles.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 +9%) Toughasoldboots		5 5/1(+9%)																															(6) Toughasoldboots 5/1, Wide-margin maiden winner last spring and doubled her tally returned to this sphere at Carlisle (17f, soft) in March. Did well under the circumstances that day (race wasn't run to suit) and she has to be high on the shortlist up just 2 lb. Game winner last time out, and this different trip-and-ground combination will also suit.
1	1 |PU| (1) (12/1 +0%) Martalindy		12 12/1(+0%)																															(1) Martalindy 12/1, Caused a huge surprise when a 50/1 winner of a 4-runner mares' maiden at Huntingdon in October. Held back by several mistakes when second of 3 back there later that month, though, and failed to improve back from a break on handicap debut at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) last month. Shock winner of small-field maiden in October; recent handicap debut was respectable.
13	13 |PU| (13) (18/1 +28%) Fllana Bay		18 18/1(+28%)																															(13) Fllana Bay 18/1, Has hinted at ability on a couple of occasions but not so when returning from a break in this headgear combination at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) last month. Jolt of improvement needed back up in trip for this handicap debut. 0-7 over hurdles and makes only limited appeal on today's handicap debut.
12	12 |PU| (12) (25/1 +0%) Celestial Fashion		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Celestial Fashion 25/1, First piece of worthwhile form over hurdles when returning from wind surgery to finish second of 12 on 17f Carlisle handicap debut 3 starts back. However, no show over this C&D and at Perth since, and she will need to learn to settle if she's to build on the promise of her Carlisle effort. 50-1 second on handicap debut in March but suffered two heavy defeats last month.
14	14 |PU| (14) (200/1 -700%) National Charter		200 200/1(-700%)																															(14) National Charter 200/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) but has made no impact in 4 starts over hurdles so far and she's 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights now pitched into a handicap in this sphere. Has shown only glimmers of promise over hurdles but was placed on the Flat last spring.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

OUR LAURA B gave a good account off top-weight when denied by a nose at Ludlow last time out and may go one better in this contest. The in-form five-year-old has only been handed a 1lb rise for that effort and gets the nod to record a second win over course and distance. Starlyte failed to justify favouritism in deeper waters on her latest outing but rates the most immediate now eased in grade, while Theirshegoes is another to consider.

Though some of her rivals arrive here in better form, STARLYTE is very much of interest now returned to the scene of her decisive front-running display on debut for Lucinda Russell in November (off a 2 lb higher mark). She has generally acquitted herself well in slightly higher-grade handicaps since and the drying ground will be right up her street. Fellow C&D winner Our Laura B is greatly respected in current form, while Toughasoldboots and Emily Wade are others with strong credentials.

C&D winner OUR LAURA B was nudged up only 1lb for her very close second at Ludlow last month and probably still has potential.

1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 -10%) Marshalled		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(1) Marshalled 5.5/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and best effort for this yard when running into a place at Sedgefield (21f, heavy) last month, his jumping still not without blemish. Off the same mark back on better ground here and respected. Ex-Irish; fair runs on last 2 starts despite jumping errors; good ground ideal; a possible.
2	7 2nd (7) (3.33/1 +33%) Limerick Leader		3.33 3.33/1(+33%)																															(7) Limerick Leader 3.33/1, Fair hurdles winner who remains with untapped potential over fences. Interesting with promising conditional taking over. Better of two runs over fences when third at Musselburgh in January; not so good next time.
3	9 3rd (9) (1.5/1 +33%) Ribeye		1.5 1.5/1(+33%)																															(9) Ribeye 1.5/1, Has made a cracking start over fences, value for extra as he came clear in Hexham handicap over this trip 10 days ago (in control when rider lost irons flat, found plenty). More to come and sure to go close again. 2-3 over fences, latest win at Hexham last week; up in grade but should go well again.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -33%) Luckofthedraw		12 12/1(-33%)																															(2) Luckofthedraw 12/1, Back to winning ways at Huntingdon (19.9f, 3 runners) in March but run of good form came to an end at Southwell last time. More needed. Won 3-runner chase in March; not run quite so well since; ground suits but a bit to prove.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 +10%) Croagh Patrick		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(8) Croagh Patrick 4.5/1, Back-to-back winner over fences in March 2022 and has returned to form of late, seeing things out surprisingly well considering he again took a notably strong hold when second at Haydock last time. Could figure. Not won since March 2022; series of good runs since, including last time; chance.
6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 -178%) Big Difference		50 50/1(-178%)																															(4) Big Difference 50/1, Won a couple of small-field handicap chases last season but lost his form and might need this after 5 months off. Has the ground in his favour and effective at 2m4f but may need the run after a break.
5	5 |PU| (5) (18/1 -112%) Joke Dancer		18 18/1(-112%)																															(5) Joke Dancer 18/1, Has enjoyed plenty of success, though a while since he ran to his best. Very well handicapped if finding his mojo again but is unproven over this far. Kelso winner last May; disappointing since, but now 16lb lower; yet to win at beyond 2m1f.
6	6 |PU| (6) (33/1 -136%) Ice Coast		33 33/1(-136%)																															(6) Ice Coast 33/1, Showed fair form on both starts in France but yet to fire for current stable, running a moody race on chase debut when last seen in January. Has had a breathing operation. Ex-French; pulled up on chase debut; has since had a second win op; should do better.
3	3 |PU| (3) (40/1 -100%) Tonto's Spirit		40 40/1(-100%)																															(3) Tonto's Spirit 40/1, Little impact the last twice and will be of more interest when returning to Cartmel (has a record 8 wins there). Below par on heavy this year but interesting off this mark back on good ground.

15:25 Newcastle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Despite losing his irons on the run-in, Thomas Dowson kept RIBEYE up to his work to land a second career victory at Hexham last time out. The eight-year-old relished the step back to this trip and he rates the one to beat off 6lb higher. Croagh Patrick has been a consistent customer of late and demands the utmost respect after a gallant second at Haydock on his latest outing. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Big Difference and he completes the shortlist now back off his last winning mark.

RIBEYE can continue his fine start over fences with a third win of the year. He was value for extra when scoring at Hexham recently and should have even more to offer. Marshalled wasn't beaten far at Sedgefield and is respected off the same mark on this better ground. Limerick Leader is another to consider.

Having won two of his three previous starts over fences, RIBEYE is selected to win again. Croagh Patrick is also likely to go well.

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -150%) Thatbeatsbanagher		10 10/1(-150%)																															(3) Thatbeatsbanagher 10/1, Building up a very good record at Sedgefield, posting a career-best display when landing his third 27f handicap in March and even better form when second a month ago. Task is to now replicate that level at this track. In good form over 3m3f at Sedgefield at end of last season; may not be as effective here.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +50%) You Some Boy		6 6/1(+50%)																															(5) You Some Boy 6/1, Three wins last winter and off the mark for the current campaign at Ayr (3m) in March. Disappointing at Musselburgh but he's in the right hands to bounce back. Well beaten in series final last time but has claims if judged on earlier win at Ayr.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +0%) Nikgarde		12 12/1(+0%)																															(7) Nikgarde 12/1, Kelso winner in 2020 but lightly raced since and last season was disappointing. Has a bit to prove but ran well here two starts ago and Brian Hughes is a good booking.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 +10%) Rae Des Champs		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(4) Rae Des Champs 4.5/1, Progressive last term, winning 2m handicap at Musselburgh in and signed that campaign off with a good second over the same trip at Kelso. Found only one too good at latter venue last month and now looks ready for a crack at this sort of trip. Good second over 2m2f last month; still quite lightly raced; tries a new trip here.
5th	12 5th (12) (14/1 +30%) Bushmill Boy		14 14/1(+30%)																															(12) Bushmill Boy 14/1, Yet to score over hurdles and was never really a factor at Southwell last time, albeit he was snatched up. Cheekpieces need to galvanise him from 9 lb out of the weights. Disappointing favourite when dropped back to 2m last month; new trip and cheekpieces here.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -100%) Court Dreaming		16 16/1(-100%)																															(1) Court Dreaming 16/1, Cashed in on a reduced chase mark at Carlisle in October (24.5f). Sound return to action over timber at that venue last month and he may step up on that. Returned from break with decent effort last month but may find others better handicapped.
7th	2 7th (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Deluxe Range		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(2) Deluxe Range 4.5/1, Losing run dates back to 2020 and he had a wind op before good third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) in March. Kept on at the one pace returned to a more suitable 22.7f at Kelso a month later. Ended last season with two fairly good efforts but is seemingly on the downgrade now.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -133%) Aire Valley Lad		28 28/1(-133%)																															(8) Aire Valley Lad 28/1, Belatedly opened chase account at the twelfth time of asking in December. Only come close to giving his running once since and now reverts back to timber. Blinkers back on. Ended last season with two heavy defeats over fences; now reverts to hurdling.
9th	6 9th (6) (16/1 -129%) Balkotic		16 16/1(-129%)																															(6) Balkotic 16/1, Flat winner who arrives in pursuit of a hat-trick over hurdles, displaying a willing attitude to supplement his Hexham success at Catterick, Visor surpsiningly replaced with cheekpieces. Won his last two, but today's hat-trick attempt comes after a six-month absence.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 +0%) Kingrullah		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Kingrullah 16/1, Maiden/handicap winner at Sedgefield in autumn of 2019, but very lightly-raced and left Pauline Robson in July 2021. Failed to win between the flags since, though was runner-up last month. Not seen under rules since summer 2021 but went close in open point last month.
10	10 |PU| (10) (4/1 +50%) Lastofthecosmics		4 4/1(+50%)																															(10) Lastofthecosmics 4/1, Ended losing run when reeling in Red Missile late on at Musselburgh (23.8f) in February. Couple of steadily-run races haven't helped him since. Slightly disappointing last time but was in good form beforehand; one to consider.
11	11 |PU| (11) (14/1 +44%) Tomorrow's Angel		14 14/1(+44%)																															(11) Tomorrow's Angel 14/1, Sole success over hurdles was gained almost 2 years ago and she's hard to warm to based on recent evidence. Badly out of form over hurdles during winter and also struggled in a recent Flat marathon.

16:00 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

In a competitive contest, marginal preference is for THATBEATSBANAGHER, who failed to justify favouritism when runner-up over 3m3f at Sedgefield last time out. The consistent nine-year-old has only been handed a 2lb rise for that effort and may go one better now stepping back in trip. Balkotic arrives on the hunt for a third consecutive win after a break and merits consideration, while Deluxe Range completes the shortlist.

Hard to warm to the majority of these but there's an air of untapped potential around RAE DES CHAMPS over this sort of trip, so she is awarded the vote. Lastofthecosmics and Deluxe Range head the opposition.

Point winner RAE DES CHAMPS (nap) returned from a break with a good effort over 2m2f and looks interesting over today's longer trip.

1	8 1st (8) (1/1 +60%) Magic Mike		1 1/1(+60%)																															(8) Magic Mike 1/1, Posted career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, outbattling runner-up. 4 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist. Improved to win at Perth last month and 4lb rise might not stop a repeat.
2	11 2nd (11) (18/1 -13%) Burnage Boy		18 18/1(-13%)																															(11) Burnage Boy 18/1, Has hit the crossbar 4 times over hurdles but the more significant statistic is that he's 0-17 in this sphere. Ran creditably on Flat when last seen in February but remains opposable over timber. 2 lb out of the handicap. 0-45 in career and others more likely for win purposes.
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +36%) Artic Row		4.5 4.5/1(+36%)																															(3) Artic Row 4.5/1, Justified strong support when winning on handicap debut at Ayr (16f) in March but not been in same form since. Fairly treated if back to best. Ayr winner in March; not at best in latest two starts but might do better back on good.
4	9 4th (9) (6.5/1 -136%) Killane		6.5 6.5/1(-136%)																															(9) Killane 6.5/1, Won 3 low-level handicaps in a productive 2021/22 campaign and back on the scoreboard, in first-time blinkers, when taking 10-runner handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 32 days ago. Just 3 lb higher now and holds solid claims. Four wins, the latest in blinkers last month; every chance if in the mood again.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +40%) Minella Youngy		6 6/1(+40%)																															(1) Minella Youngy 6/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell but yet to get competitive in 5 outings for current yard and is tough to recommend despite continuing to slide in weights. Yet to find his best form since arriving in Britain.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -560%) Edmond Dantes		66 66/1(-560%)																															(6) Edmond Dantes 66/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat but essentially disappointing in this sphere and was a similar story on debut over fences last month. Returns to hurdling now. Has ability but unplaced all ten hurdle starts; well beaten on chasing debut latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 +9%) Ingleby Mackenzie		20 20/1(+9%)																															(7) Ingleby Mackenzie 20/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but yet to threaten for new yard, never involved at Perth last month. Only one win in the last five years and recent efforts haven't suggested another imminent.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -12%) Bebside Banter		28 28/1(-12%)																															(10) Bebside Banter 28/1, Much improved when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (2m, soft) in January but in nothing like the same form since, well beaten in a seller at Hexham latest. Tries cheekpieces now. Good second in January but little either side of that; hopes pinned on cheekpieces.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 -27%) Ebendi		28 28/1(-27%)																															(2) Ebendi 28/1, Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien and standout effort for this yard when seventh of 11 at Carlisle (17f) in February. Fell early on handicap debut latest, though, and something to prove at present. Useful on the Flat once but hard to know what ability remains; fell latest.
10th	5 10th (5) (28/1 -75%) Mactavish		28 28/1(-75%)																															(5) Mactavish 28/1, Ran best race when second at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in October and likely to have been placed (unseated rider last) over same C&D a fortnight later. Below form when last seen the following month but not out of things on return here. Absent for six months; best efforts have come on good ground; not without hope.
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 -33%) Irish Sovereign		12 12/1(-33%)																															(4) Irish Sovereign 12/1, Showed improved form in blinkers when winning a brace of handicaps in 2021/22 and shaped better than distance beaten (on return from 13-month absence for new yard) at Southwell 18 days ago. Warrants respect. Well beaten on stable debut after a year off; down in trip.

16:35 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

First-time blinkers proved the tonic for Killane, who appeared to win with something in hand at Sedgefield last month and he's not taken lightly off only 3lb higher in the handicap. However, fellow last-time-winner MAGIC MIKE boasts a lightly-raced profile and a 4lb rise in the ratings for his success at Perth could prove on the lenient side. The majority of the remainder have something to prove at present, with Irish Sovereign feared most now only 1lb higher than his Sedgefield triumph last March.

MAGIC MIKE showed a good attitude when opening his account at Perth last month and remains feasibly treated. He may be able to follow up. Sedgefield-winner Killane looks the likeliest danger, whilst Irish Sovereign also enters calculations.

The improving MAGIC MIKE can follow up his Perth success.

2	11 2nd (11) (3/1 +63%) More To Follow		3 3/1(+63%)																															(11) More To Follow 3/1, Has yet to achieve much, including in handicaps on last 4 outings. Improvement required from 3 lb out of the weights. Unplaced all starts; has some ability but needs to learn to settle.

Cheekpieces now added for first time and is shortlisted. Has proved rather disappointing but better the last twice; cheekpieces now fitted.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 +14%) Nights Of Doyen		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Nights Of Doyen 12/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden who has yet to make an impact in a trio of outings for current yard. Unplaced all career starts, the latest three in Britain; blinkers on.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 -67%) Strong Team		10 10/1(-67%)																															(8) Strong Team 10/1, Well held over fences latest but posted a good second at Newcastle when last seen in this sphere in November and remains fairly treated. C&D second when last seen over hurdles in November and chances on that.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/1 -10%) Dakota Moirette		11 11/1(-10%)																															(1) Dakota Moirette 11/1, Punchestown maiden hurdle success for Gordon Elliott back in December 2016 remains his sole victory from over 40 starts under Rules. Others preferred despite tumbling mark. Only career win came in 2016; cheekpieces back on; others more obvious.
7	7 |PU| (7) (125/1 -213%) Mistamel		125 125/1(-213%)																															(7) Mistamel 125/1, Returning from 18 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle (150/1) at Sedgefield on yard debut 32 days ago. Hard to fancy. Pulled up last month on stable debut after a long absence.

17:10 Newcastle Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Red Vision is likely to prove popular after finishing fourth in a 15-runner affair at Southwell in late-April, with first-time cheekpieces likely to aid his cause today. Donald McCain's gelding merits serious consideration but preference is for STRONG TEAM, who was runner-up behind the progressive Lucky Lover Boy here in November and a reproduction of that effort may suffice. Dakota Moirette's mark continues to fall and reapplied headgear could spark a resurgence.

This can go to RED VISION, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted his best effort for some time when fourth at Southwell last month. Strong Team and Lady Hamilton can also make their presence felt.

A repeat of last November's C&D second might do the trick for STRONG TEAM.

5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 +0%) Magical Arthur		100 100/1(+0%)																															(6) Magical Arthur 100/1, Hasn't shown enough in two starts to date to warrant any interest. Struggled on both starts last season.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 -164%) Hope Hill		66 66/1(-164%)																															(4) Hope Hill 66/1, £2,500 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to high-class hurdler/chaser Yorkhill. Cheap purhcase considering his pedigree and looks one to watch in the market. Half-brother to high-class jumper Yorkhill; one of two newcomers from the stable.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -355%) Gentle Victor		50 50/1(-355%)																															(3) Gentle Victor 50/1, Gentlewave gelding. Dam (c93) little show in bumpers/over fences. Worthy of respect if strong in the betting. First foal from a winning pointer; considered only if lively in the betting.
8th	5 8th (5) (125/1 -25%) Kingston Rock		125 125/1(-25%)																															(5) Kingston Rock 125/1, Kingston Hill gelding who was down the field at Ayr 78 days ago and will probably struggle again. Well-beaten 50-1 shot on debut at Ayr in February.

Half-brother to fair 2m hurdle winner/useful chaser Defan. Dam, point winner, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Long House Hall. Made frame completed start in points (Mar 25).

17:45 Newcastle NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

There was a lot to like about TOMMY TIME's facile win on his bumper debut at Kilbeggan last month and his new connections will be hoping that he can repay his subsequent 130,000-euro sale by triumphing under a 7lb penalty here. Fourtowns offered more encouragement when finishing fifth on his second appearance in a NH flat race at Down Royal earlier in the month, but a bigger threat may emerge from Captain Butler, who makes his racecourse bow on the back of a success between the flags.

TOMMY TIME made a good impression when completing a successful debut at Kilbeggan for Lorna Fowler and he's more than likely to defend his unbeaten record starting out for a new yard. Point-winner Captain Butler could pose the main threat and Slugger isn't totally discounted.

Iain Jardine's SLUGGER comes here after holding his own in two good races at Ayr and might be the answer.

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.
