Races & Results Wednesday 24th April 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Monty Searle 11/1, Malinas gelding who was successful on last of 5 starts in points (Dec 2023) and he displayed fair form when second in 5-runner Exeter maiden hurdle (21.6f) on Rules bow 17 days ago. Possible he can build on that here. British point winner who was promising 2nd on belated rules debut; could have part to play.
2
2nd (1) (7/2 +46%) Dexterity
7/2(+46%)
(1) Dexterity 7/2, €22,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat, closely related to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Nicanor. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Mar 2022) and he's one to note in the betting on his belated Rules debut. Absent since going close in a point in March 2022, but trainer has good record in race.
3
3rd (2) (4/7 -14%) Dr Eggman
4/7(-14%)
(2) Dr Eggman 4/7, Irish raider who displayed useful form in bumpers and made the frame in his first 3 starts in maiden hurdles earlier this year. Latest run back from 2 months off at Naas has to go down as disappointing but this looks an excellent opportunity. Turned over at odds-on the last twice but nevertheless holds stand-out form claims today.
4
4th (4) (11/2 -38%) Rattling Road
11/2(-38%)
(4) Rattling Road 11/2, £40,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in April 2022. Has progressed with each outing over hurdles since the turn of the year, shaping particularly encouraging when third at Wetherby (2m, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Step up in trip promises to suit and likely he can feature. 3m point winner for whom the step up in trip looks a firm plus on his fourth hurdle start.
5th
5th (5) (150/1 -88%) Something Golden
150/1(-88%)
(5) Something Golden 150/1, Modest maiden hurdler for Iain Jardine. Has been pointing for new connections, winning a maiden in February but held in restricted company twice thereafter. Below best back in novice company over hurdles latest though and he's likely to be vulnerable again. Won British maiden point in February but he's an exposed, modest maiden under rules.
6th
6th (6) (300/1 -50%) Cloneyhurke Maid
300/1(-50%)
(6) Cloneyhurke Maid 300/1, Made the frame both completed starts in Irish points a few years ago but offered little both starts over timber in recent weeks. Tailed off/pulled up at massive odds this spring on her first two hurdle starts.
13:50 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class
4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Willie Mullins sends 132-rated DR EGGMAN over the Irish Sea and he looks way ahead of his opponents in this contest. The son of Saint Des Saints disappointed when odds-on at Naas earlier in the month, but his form before that is more than good enough. Dexterity hit the crossbar on his only point-to-point start and he goes for the in-form Olly Murphy stable, while Monty Searle could be the one for third.
DR EGGMAN has proved expensive to follow in a handful of starts over hurdles to date but this rates a good opportunity for Willie Mullins' charge to make amends and he can come out on top with the hood retained. Rattling Road is improving nicely and rates the chief threat upped in trip.
Form pick Dr Eggman has been turned over at odds-on the last twice and it may pay to take him on with RATTLING ROAD.
(3) Ioupy Collonges 11/5, Bumper winner who was steadily progressive over hurdles last season, winning 2 of his 4 starts. Shaped much better than on his chasing debut when third of 4 at Newbury (19.8f, soft) in March, though found less than looked likely. More required. Remains lightly raced for top yard and may find a chunk of improvement at some stage.
2
2nd (6) (7/2 +36%) Travail D'orfevre
7/2(+36%)
(6) Travail D'orfevre 7/2, Made a winning return at Carlisle (15.9f, soft) in October and has been proving most consistent since, rallying from 2 out when third back at the same C&D (heavy) 17 days ago. Can give another good account returned to this longer trip. Second/third off this mark on his last five starts and can give another good account.
3
3rd (2) (17/2 -89%) Bleu D'enfer
17/2(-89%)
(2) Bleu D'enfer 17/2, Finally off the mark in maiden hurdle at Ayr in February, but he's prone to errors over fences and was still in a narrow lead when falling 3 out in novice chase at Down Royal (19.6f, soft) last month. Capable of getting involved if keeping the mistakes to a minimum. Has the ability to go well but jumping issues have been a feature of light chasing career.
4
4th (1) (11/1 -230%) Findthetime
11/1(-230%)
(1) Findthetime 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler and matched that level when opening his chase account at Wetherby in November. Fortunate when scoring at Newcastle (16.3f, heavy) last time, held when left clear 2 out, but he's respected as he makes first run for yard after leaving Nicky Richards. Two wins from final three starts for Nicky Richards and not ruled out on stable debut.
5th
5th (4) (6/1 +40%) Carrigeen Castle
6/1(+40%)
(4) Carrigeen Castle 6/1, Much improved sent chasing this season, landing handicaps at Newcastle and Wetherby at the beginning of the year. Hard held when resuming winning ways at the latter course (19.4f, heavy) in March, before losing 2 shoes when pulled up last time. Needs to get back on the up. In fine form this year until pulled up at Carlisle last time, but he lost both hind shoes.
6th
6th (5) (3/1 +0%) Clonakilty
3/1(+0%)
(5) Clonakilty 3/1, In first-time cheekpieces, resumed his progress over fences when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) 20 days ago, always in control once leading before 2 out. Major player with the potential to do better still. Two wins from last three starts; this is tougher but he's entitled to respect.
14:20 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Findthetime beat the only other finisher over an extended 2m in this grade at Newcastle in January and he should go well on his first start for the Stuart Coltherd yard. However, preference is for CLONAKILTY, who was worth a lot more than his winning margin at Southwell earlier in the month and a 5lb rise could be lenient. The son of Flemensfirth can record a double, while Bleu D'enfer could put his mishap at Down Royal behind him and go well.
CLONAKILTY quickly got back on track when winning at Southwell last time and, with the return to a right-handed track to suit, he can follow up with further progress to come. He is taken to get the better of Findthetime, who could also still have more to offer as a chaser on his stable debut, while Travail d'Orfevre can give his running once more.
The Paul Nicholls-trained 6yo IOUPY COLLONGES can take a step forward and he earns the vote ahead of Travail D'Orfevre.
(4) Sounds Russian 5/1, High-class chaser was still yet to be asked for his effort when brought down in last season's Gold Cup but made a low-key return after 17 months off when fifth of 6 in the Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) 67 days ago. Likely will need to step up on that effort. Only fifth when back hurdling on belated reappearance, but chase form gives him big shout.
2
2nd (1) (8/11 +73%) Loughglynn
8/11(+73%)
(1) Loughglynn 8/11, Made winning hurdles debut at Punchestown in November before landing Grade 2 event at Limerick. Soon bounced back after a lesser effort when third of 11 to Captain Cody in Easter Festival Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 8/1) 24 days ago and he merits plenty of respect. Grade 2 novice hurdle winner who is a leading player today despite the 5lb penalty.
3
3rd (2) (20/1 -100%) Farnoge
20/1(-100%)
(2) Farnoge 20/1, Looked a good prospect when winning a Uttoxeter bumper last spring and took his record under Rules to 3-3 when winning novice hurdles at Newton Abbot and Ascot. Pulled up in the Challow since and fared no better in calmer waters at Musselburgh last time, so has bit to prove with tongue tie applied. Very promising start to hurdle career; pulled up the last twice but not written off.
4
4th (6) (10/3 -33%) El Elefante
10/3(-33%)
(6) El Elefante 10/3, Won bumper and mares novice hurdle here in 2023 before doubling tally over timber in another mares event at Ayr last month. In the process of showing much-improved form when taking a late fall in a Newbury handicap last month and should go close in receipt of weight from most of her rivals. Narrowly in front when falling in competitive mares' novice handicap at Newbury; player.
5th
5th (5) (50/1 -127%) Dicey Rielly
50/1(-127%)
(5) Dicey Rielly 50/1, Thrived in 2023, making it 4 wins (3 chase, 1 hurdle) when seeing off 6 rivals over fences at Worcester in July. Found run of good form coming to a halt soon after and off since, so others make greater appeal. Four wins last April-July but plenty to find on these terms even if returning at very best.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (16/1 -60%) Great Pepper
16/1(-60%)
(3) Great Pepper 16/1, Dual point winner who showed a good attitude to land novice hurdles at Hexham (2m4f) and Kelso (22.7f) either side of Christmas. Scoped dirty after pulling up in Prestige Hurdle at Haydock (3m) last time but is well worth another chance now fitted with headgear. 2-2 before Haydock last time, when pulled up in attritional conditions; retains potential.
14:55 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class
1) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Sounds Russian is a classy performer on his day, with his runner-up effort in last year's Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham arguably his best performance, so he is an interesting contender on the back of his fifth in the Rendlesham in February. However, he could find it difficult up against LOUGHGLYNN, a Grade 2 winner who hit the frame at the same level at Fairyhouse on his latest outing. The son of Vendangeur makes only his fifth start over hurdles and he looks the one to side with. Farnoge is noted too.
EL ELEFANTE was still in front when taking a final-flight fall at Newbury and provided that tumble hasn't left a mark, is fancied to maintain her unbeaten record at Perth. Loughglynn has to be seriously respected as Willie Mullins attempts to strengthen his grip on the British Trainers' Championship, whilst Great Pepper clearly wasn't 100% at Haydock and is the pick for third on his prior efforts.
Grade 2 novice hurdle winner LOUGHGLYNN has a 5lb penalty to defy but his form reads well and he gets the nod for Willie Mullins.
(4) Apple Away 9/4, Grade 1 winning hurdler. Quick to match that form over fences, easy winner of Leicester maiden and a solid third of 5 in Reynoldstown at Ascot (3m) in February. Shade disappointing in the National Hunt Chase but she's fancied to bounce back. Three good runs in graded company on last 3 starts (didn't stay 3m6f last time); chance.
2
2nd (3) (7/4 +42%) Instit
7/4(+42%)
(3) Instit 7/4, Useful chaser at best and not disgraced without threatening when fifth of 9 to Limerick Lace in Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) at Cheltenham (20.6f, heavy). Ran right up to form when runner-up at Fairyhouse (21.6f) and now looks ready for a crack over this trip. Fifth at Cheltenham in March and good second last time; chance on first run at this trip.
3
3rd (2) (11/4 +17%) Riviere D'etel
11/4(+17%)
(2) Riviere D'etel 11/4, Ended lengthy losing streak when beating a below-par Allegorie de Vassy by wide margin in Grade 3 at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Beaten by that rival at Naas next time and again found one too good in Grade 2 at Gowran. Disappointed at Cheltenham but better expected going right-handed. Up in trip. Easy Grade 3 win in January and sixth at Cheltenham latest; may improve on first run at 3m.
4
4th (1) (8/1 -220%) Malina Girl
8/1(-220%)
(1) Malina Girl 8/1, Smart chaser who added to her tally in 13-runner handicap at Cheltenham in November. 20f over hurdles an inadequate test last month and she's a big player on these terms returned to chasing. Smart stayer who was 2nd in a Listed mares' race two starts ago; a possible.
5th
5th (5) (40/1 -21%) Aubis Walk
40/1(-21%)
(5) Aubis Walk 40/1, Surpassed hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when landing 6-runner handicap at Ayr in December (20.5f). Pulled up over the same C&D a month later and this a tough race to bounce back in. Won 2m4f handicap on chase debut but pulled up next time; up in trip but plenty to find.
15:25 Perth Conditions Chase (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
With a tendency to jump out to her right, RIVIERE D'ETEL found herself giving too much ground away when sixth in the Mares' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month. The seven-year-old should prove much more at home on this right-handed track and is the one to beat judged on ratings. The main danger is Instit, who finished ahead of the selection in fifth at Cheltenham, while Malina Girl should prove more competitive back over fences.
MALINA GIRL's performances at Cheltenham during the latter part of 2023 mark her down as the one to beat on these terms and with her latest hurdles run easy to ignore, she's fancied to add to her tally. The return to a right-handed track will suit Riviere D'etel and she is a big threat, with Apple Away and Instit the other dangers.
The selection is APPLE AWAY who has run well in open graded company including in the National Hunt Chase when 3m6f seemed just too far.
(2) Gunsight Ridge 6/4, In process of running well when falling 4 out on return at Wetherby and showed no ill effects when second at Sandown (15.5f) next time. Shaped as if still in form at Newbury (20f) since and return to 2m in his favour. Headgear on. 2m Aintree winner in 2022; missed 2023; fair efforts this term; headgear now tried.
2
2nd (4) (5/1 -25%) Mint Gold
5/1(-25%)
(4) Mint Gold 5/1, Made light of a 30-month absence when landing 4-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh in November. Not in the same form when falling at the last at Newcastle (20.1f) but wasted no time getting back to form when second at former track. Respected. C&D winner who scored on his first run back after 905-day break in November; this harder.
3
3rd (3) (10/1 -54%) Cracking Destiny
10/1(-54%)
(3) Cracking Destiny 10/1, Well served by test of speed when capitalising on reduced mark at Musselburgh (15.8f). Shaped as if still in form there since and not taken lightly back down in class/trip. Musselburgh winner on good to soft; well beaten last time (2m4f); better ground suits.
4
4th (1) (6/4 +14%) Figaroc
6/4(+14%)
(1) Figaroc 6/4, Best effort over fences when third in listed handicap at Gowran last month. Failed to meet expectations in similar event at Fairyhouse next time but big shout back down in class here. Yet to win over fences, but sound efforts on three of his five starts; obvious contender.
5th
5th (5) (20/1 +39%) Sword Of Fate
20/1(+39%)
(5) Sword Of Fate 20/1, Front runner who capitalised on a drop in grade when scoring over fences here (20f) in August and backed that up with good second at Cartmel. However, not been in same form since and up against it from out of the handicap. Four-time course winner; in fair form but ideally needs better ground and is 10lb wrong.
15:55 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Not for the first time, GUNSIGHT RIDGE's stamina appeared to ebb away when weakening into third over 2m4f at Newbury last time out. This return to 2m could prove just the tonic for Olly Murphy's charge and a third victory over fences could be on the horizon. Figaroc has posted some creditable efforts in defeat in Ireland and the nine-year-old is feared most now dropping in class. C&D scorer Mint Gold completes the shortlist.
FIGAROC failed to meet expectations at Fairyhouse last time but can bounce back with a bang dropped in class. Gunsight Ridge is next best with the return to 2m in his favour.
Although yet to win over fences this looks an ideal opportunity for FIGAROC (nap). Gunsight Ridge is next best.
(2) Space Voyage 11/2, Took very well to hurdling last term, winning 3 small-field novice events. Creditable third in 21f Wincanton handicap in November but needs to shrug off some lesser efforts since. Three novice wins last term; poor last 3 runs; back after a 2nd wind op; on a good mark.
2
2nd (6) (5/1 -11%) Donso Star
5/1(-11%)
(6) Donso Star 5/1, Winner at Ayr in March. Good 2½ lengths third of 12 to Sunday Soldier in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Musselburgh (19.8f, heavy) 19 days ago, best work finish. Should give another good account if they go a sound pace. In good form recently, winning at Ayr and finishing third to Sunday Soldier at Musselburgh.
3
3rd (4) (7/1 +42%) St John's Road
7/1(+42%)
(4) St John's Road 7/1, Finished runner-up in a bumper and offered encouragement on first two hurdling outings. Disappointed on handicap debut at Carlisle last time but it's too soon to write her off. Unexposed; placed in two 2m novices; well beaten on h'cap debut (2m3f); others stronger.
4
4th (1) (3/1 -33%) Sunday Soldier
3/1(-33%)
(1) Sunday Soldier 3/1, Fast-improving hurdler who completed the 5-timer cosily at Musselburgh last time. Hasn't reached her limit and worth a chance to add another to such an impressive sequence. Has won her last five races including over 2m4f this month; up another 6lb; obvious chance.
5th
5th (5) (5/2 +38%) Similar Story
5/2(+38%)
(5) Similar Story 5/2, Easy winner of a point and stepped forward from previous hurdling efforts when runner-up to Sunday Soldier at Musselburgh 19 days ago. Solid claims. Winning pointer; just beaten by Sunday Soldier last time and is now 3lb better off; chance.
6th
6th (3) (7/1 +0%) Roccos Inspiration
7/1(+0%)
(3) Roccos Inspiration 7/1, Proved expensive to follow over hurdles in Ireland but made a winning start for Olly Murphy in 8-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in January. Not disgraced when second under a penalty at Sedgefield next time but tame showing at Chepstow last time. Too soon to write off. Ex-Irish; won a maiden on stable debut and fair form since; more needed on handicap debut.
16:25 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Only half a length separated Sunday Soldier and SIMILAR STORY when the former defied an 8lb rise to complete a five-timer at Musselburgh earlier in the month (Donso Star third) and Richie McLernon's mount could well make it six from six in handicaps as she continues to improve. However, she has a further 6lb rise to deal with here and the reopposing runner-up enjoys a 3lb swing in the weights, so the Stuart Coltherd-trained mare looks to have a good chance of turning the tables. Roccos Inspiration continues to slide down the ratings and appears the pick of Olly Murphy's duo.
SUNDAY SOLDIER has been one of the most progressive hurdlers of the season and there was little sign that the handicapper had caught up with her at Musselburgh, so she's a confident choice to make it 6 in a row. Donso Star is in good order and can make her presence felt, while Similar Story (runner-up to the selection on latest outing) can't be ruled out.
Despite meeting them on worse terms, SUNDAY SOLDIER is taken to confirm Musselburgh placings with Similar Story and Donso Star.
(6) Bollin Matilda 10/3, Was starting to look pretty limited before everything seemingly clicked at Newcastle (23.7f, heavy) where she landed a 6-runner conditionals' handicap in decisive fashion. 4 lb rise far from the end of the world and another bold show may well be on the way. Off the mark in a 2m7f novice handicap last time; conditions suit; could go well again.
2
2nd (2) (10/3 +26%) Heard That
10/3(+26%)
(2) Heard That 10/3, Has made the frame all 3 starts since switched to handicaps, most recently finishing fourth of 9 behind the in-form Call Me Jack at Newcastle (20.3f, soft). Probably wouldn't need to improve much for this step up in trip (shapes as though it will be in his favour) to play a leading role. Maiden hurdler; fair efforts since going handicapping; pulls hard so 3m not sure to suit.
3
3rd (4) (17/2 -31%) Adveram
17/2(-31%)
(4) Adveram 17/2, Improved effort when second in 19.5f Ayr maiden hurdle in February and while he followed that with a low-key handicap debut, it was a case of back on track when third in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) recently. This new trip is worth exploring and he's one to consider. Career-best when third in headgear over 2m4f last time; stamina to prove over this trip.
4
4th (8) (4/1 +0%) This Is Bob
4/1(+0%)
(8) This Is Bob 4/1, Yet to get his head in front but it's still early days and he has found just one too good on 2 of his last 3 starts, including when sporting first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (19.8f, heavy) recently. This stiffer test promises to suit and he has go on the shortlist. Maiden; good run in first-time headgear last time; the longer trip could suit; interesting.
5th
5th (3) (22/1 -120%) Easy Bucks
22/1(-120%)
(3) Easy Bucks 22/1, Made light of a 15-month absence when making a winning debut for John Joseph Hanlon at Punchestown but no real impact in 4 outings since rejoining Peter Bowen. Didn't show much in a handful of runs over hurdles earlier in his career and hopes now pinned on the first-time blinkers doing the trick. Below par over fences recently; modest hurdler in 2020 but has improved since; interesting.
6th
6th (10) (16/1 +0%) Kurphy
16/1(+0%)
(10) Kurphy 16/1, Slightly better effort equipped with first-time cheekpieces (on again here) when fifth of 11 at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) last time but there wasn't enough in that effort to suggest she's up to winning this. 0-8; sound effort over 2m4f in headgear last time (retained); yet to prove she stays 3m.
7th
7th (1) (8/1 -33%) Sanosuke
8/1(-33%)
(1) Sanosuke 8/1, Runner-up 3 times on the bounce in 2023, including twice here over 2½m, and finally opened hurdles account at Musselburgh (3m, soft) in November. Ridden too aggressively back from a break at Ayr, so shouldn't be judged too harshly on that, but it's surprising that the cheekpieces are again omitted. Won off 5lb lower in November and fair efforts since; could go well but has his quirks.
8th
8th (9) (13/2 +54%) Dequall
13/2(+54%)
(9) Dequall 13/2, It's been a while since he last hit the target and while his comeback effort following a lengthy layoff at Kelso in October was fairly encouraging, it's hard to get excited about what he's shown in 5 subsequent appearances. Fair run from 22lb out of the handicap last time; on his true mark here; each-way chance.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (16/1 -167%) Topkapi Star
16/1(-167%)
(7) Topkapi Star 16/1, Successful over this C&D in September 2022 and resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (25f, soft) last March. Below par at Kelso the following month, though, and she's entitled to need the run following 12 months off. Two wins, one over C&D, last season; conditions suit; could go well back from an absence.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (125/1 -89%) Clapton Hill
125/1(-89%)
(5) Clapton Hill 125/1, Some bits and pieces of fair form to his name during his time with Ben Pauling but he offered little on first run under Rules for this yard at Newcastle 11 days ago. Fair efforts over hurdles for Ben Pauling but pulled up on both starts for this yard.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (150/1 -127%) Diamond Road
150/1(-127%)
(11) Diamond Road 150/1, Yet to show any worthwhile form and looks set for another struggle from 11 lb out of the handicap. Modest hurdler/chaser who is 11lb out of the handicap and would be a surprise winner.
16:55 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Heard That has been running well in defeat and should give another good account of himself, but he may have to play second fiddle to BOLLIN MATILDA, who revelled in the mud when scoring over Newcastle's extended 2m7f 11 days ago. Donald Whillans' mare may not have beaten too much that day but she remains unexposed over staying distances and the booking for a 7lb claimer negates her 4lb rise for that success. On that same Newcastle card, Adveram was doing his best work at the finish when third over shorter and the step back up in trip may help.
The vote goes to HEARD THAT, who left the strong impression that he would welcome this stiffer test at Newcastle last time. It also augurs well that he went close in a 3m maiden point on the second of his two starts between the flags and the 5-y-o shades preference ahead of recent winner Bollin Matilda. Adveram and This Is Bob are others with claims.
A chance is taken on TOPKAPI STAR who lacks a run this season but won twice last term and is well suited by these conditions.

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.
