1
1st (8) Keep Warm (3.33/1 +5%)
Keep Warm

3.33/1(+5%)
(8) Keep Warm 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden who seemed unsuited by drop back in trip when third of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (good to soft) 13 days ago. Visor on first time. Looks a likely contender on first crack at handicapping.
Could be sharper in the first-time visor on this nursery debut and he's a possible.

2nd (7) Dan Dee Prince (7/1 +36%)
Dan Dee Prince

7/1(+36%)
(7) Dan Dee Prince 7/1, Acquitted himself well when third on debut here (5f) in April but hasn't built on that and cheekpieces are now reached for on handicap debut.
Down the field the last twice but gelded since and showed promise here on debut.
3
3rd (3) Star Of Lazise (7.5/1 +17%)
Star Of Lazise

7.5/1(+17%)
(3) Star Of Lazise 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Found shorter trip against him when last of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago and can't be ruled out stepped up to 6f on handicap debut.
Signs of promise on the second of his first three runs and not ruled out now in a nursery.
4
4th (9) Chat Up Line (14/1 -27%)
Chat Up Line

14/1(-27%)
(9) Chat Up Line 14/1, No real impact in a trio of starts in maidens/minor events and opening mark could have been kinder on switch to handicapping. Hood on first time.
Not obviously well treated for nursery debut but half-sister to 4 winners; not written off.
5th
5th (6) Mistress Teite (9/1 +10%)
Mistress Teite

9/1(+10%)
(6) Mistress Teite 9/1, Made the frame all 3 starts thus far, latest when third of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 33 days ago. More required on switch to handicapping here, however.
Has made the frame on all three starts and can give another good account on nursery debut.
6th
6th (1) Celestial Flight (2.75/1 -22%)
Celestial Flight

2.75/1(-22%)
(1) Celestial Flight 2.75/1, Improved from debut run when taking 14-runner seller at York (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago, holding on gamely. Fairly treated on handicap debut and merits consideration.
Won the Rous Seller at York on his second start and he's respected in his first nursery.
7th
7th (10) Mist Of Lir (12/1 +0%)
Mist Of Lir

12/1(+0%)
(10) Mist Of Lir 12/1, Has more experience than most but isn't progressing and the addition of blinkers had little effect at Beverley last time. Cheekpieces back on for handicap debut. Gelded since last seen.
Now 0-5 and has to turn things around on first run since being gelded.
8th
8th (2) Kandy House (6/1 +25%)
Kandy House

6/1(+25%)
(2) Kandy House 6/1, Hasn't really progressed from her debut, left behind in final furlong at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) latest. May do better now switched to handicaps, though.
Hasn't gone on from debut third but on a fair mark now in a nursery and could be involved.
9th
9th (11) Ifonlytheycudtalk (28/1 +15%)
Ifonlytheycudtalk

28/1(+15%)
(11) Ifonlytheycudtalk 28/1, Shown little in 3 outings to date and hopes may rest on addition of blinkers for handicap bow.
Well beaten at big odds on his three starts; plenty of improvement needed now in blinkers.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Pontefract Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

CELESTIAL FLIGHT built on his debut fifth at Beverley when showing a gritty attitude to get off the mark in a York seller last month. The son of Harry Angel begins life in nurseries off what appears to be a fair mark of 66 and he shades the vote from Kandy House, who has run with some promise to date and is open to further improvement. Mistress Teite and Keep Warm appeal most of the remainder.

KEEP WARM should relish the step back up in trip and looks fairly treated on his handicap debut. He gets the nod in a race where the market should provide plenty of clues. Celestial Flight and Time Signature are also of interest.

Having been gelded, DAN DEE PRINCE is taken to tap back into the promise of his debut third here in April.

Star Ahoy

0.62/1(+15%)
(11) Star Ahoy 0.62/1, Well-bred son of Sea The Stars who has shaped with promise over 1m this term when in the frame in Yarmouth maiden and Newmarket novice. Has more to offer, especially now upped in trip. Big shout.
Well-bred Sea The Stars colt who could continue to progress now up in trip; leading claims.
(8) Iron Lion (3/1 +33%)
Iron Lion

3/1(+33%)
(8) Iron Lion 3/1, Placed on all his three runs to date, good third of 6 in minor event at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Can go well again.
Has run well in defeat on all three starts (1m-1m2f, good) and has strong claims.
(9) Jumeirah King (7.5/1 -67%)
Jumeirah King

7.5/1(-67%)
(9) Jumeirah King 7.5/1, Fairly useful ex-French maiden who came in a good second of 6 in maiden at Longchamp (9f, good to soft) 82 days ago. Has since been gelded and is very much one to consider for his new yard.
Plenty of promise in France and leading claims if reproducing that form on stable debut.
(4) Wonderwall (9/1 +25%)
Wonderwall

9/1(+25%)
(4) Wonderwall 9/1, Useful 20f chase winner in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when fair thirteenth of 24 in County Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) in March. Not without interest starting out on the Flat.
Useful bumper/hurdle winner; may need further but respected nevertheless on Flat debut.
(6) Break Point (16/1 -45%)
Break Point

16/1(-45%)
(6) Break Point 16/1, Twice-raced colt and fair form shown, fourth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 20 days ago. May still do better. Shortlisted.
Fair form on both starts; might not be far away but needs something extra to win this.
(5) Zain Farhh (33/1 -18%)
Zain Farhh

33/1(-18%)
(5) Zain Farhh 33/1, Running-on second of 7 in maiden here (12f, good, 25/1) on his debut 9 months ago on sole run for Richard Fahey. Needs to hit the ground running for his new stable after an absence.
Runner-up here last October on sole start; has an absence to defy on stable debut.
(2) Mr Cuddihy (40/1 -21%)
Mr Cuddihy

40/1(-21%)
(2) Mr Cuddihy 40/1, Off 16 months before below-par fourth of 5 in minor event (12/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 75 days ago. Could still do better with that run under his belt.
Promise on debut in 2021; then absent until this April, when well beaten.
(1) Lite And Airy (125/1 -25%)
Lite And Airy

125/1(-25%)
(1) Lite And Airy 125/1, 25/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) on debut 20 days ago. Needs a lot more.

(3) Renoir (125/1 -213%)
Renoir

125/1(-213%)
(3) Renoir 125/1, Debut third in Bangor bumper but only eighth of 10 in bumper at Stratford (16.3f, good) 51 days ago. Plenty more is required in this sphere.
Displayed ability on the first of his two bumper starts, but others are preferred.
(7) Cuttlestone Bridge (250/1 -100%)
Cuttlestone Bridge

250/1(-100%)
(7) Cuttlestone Bridge 250/1, 125/1, last of 8 in minor event at this course (6f, good) on debut, very slowly away. Off 9 months with lots more to do stepping up significantly up in trip. Hooded for 1st time.
125-1, well beaten here (6f, good) last September on sole start; wears a first-time hood.
(10) My Boy Benji (300/1 -140%)
My Boy Benji

300/1(-140%)
(10) My Boy Benji 300/1, 66/1, last of 11 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago, missing break. Significantly up in trip with work to do.
66-1, always behind and tailed off on last month's debut at Wetherby (7f, good to firm).
LTO Selection:

14:45 Pontefract Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

STAR AHOY has looked to be a work in progress on his three starts to date, with his best effort coming on his latest outing when third at Newmarket, and it would be no surprise to see him improve for stepping up in trip. Jumeirah King makes his UK debut following some promising displays in France, while Iron Lion and Break Point are others for the shortlist.

STAR AHOY has shaped up well on all his three runs to date and with this longer distance sure to see him in an even better light he looks the way to go. Kevin Ryan's new recruit Jumeirah King showed some fairly useful form in France so rates the chief threat, with the consistent Iron Lion rating a solid place prospect once more.

The William Haggas-trained STAR AHOY was a good third over 1m at Newmarket and this Sea The Stars colt earns the vote now up in trip.

(8) Purplepay (1.75/1 -40%)
Purplepay

1.75/1(-40%)
(8) Purplepay 1.75/1, Better than ever on second start for William Haggas when landing Group 2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly last June. Little impact in a couple of Group 1s in Australia this year but this drop in class will be welcomed and she's the one to beat.
Group 2 winner last June; hasn't matched that form since but drops back in grade here.
(9) Zenga (4.5/1 +44%)
Zenga

4.5/1(+44%)
(9) Zenga 4.5/1, Made it third time lucky in a 9.5f Wolverhampton (9.5f) last July prior to a creditable second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1¼m, AW). Encouraging belated reappearance on the back of a wind op at Royal Ascot (1m, good) and she's not without each-way hope up in class here.
Something to find with the majority of these but lightly raced and is a possible improver.
(4) Fall In Love (5.5/1 -22%)
Fall In Love

5.5/1(-22%)
(4) Fall In Love 5.5/1, Useful filly for previous yard in France, notably finishing fifth of 17 in the French Oaks last season. Majority of her subsequent efforts have been in Group company and she's an interesting contender at this level on debut for new yard (also represented here by Zenga).
Below par on final two starts in the winter but key player on earlier form; stable debut.
(1) Al Agaila (8/1 -33%)
Al Agaila

8/1(-33%)
(1) Al Agaila 8/1, Solid start to career on turf last summer and took form up a notch on polytrack during the winter, completing hat-trick in Winter Oaks Handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) in January. Solid effort when a close fifth at Newcastle (1m) recently but will need to improve if she's to resume winning ways here.
Progressive profile on AW; return to turf poses a question but she's not ruled out.
(2) Dha Leath (9/1 -29%)
Dha Leath

9/1(-29%)
(2) Dha Leath 9/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022, bagging 4 handicaps at up to 1¼m. Wasn't beaten far when ninth of 27 in the Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh on return in March but subsequent effort was a shade disappointing, for all that the 1½m trip probably stretched her.
An each-way case can be made on form but perhaps 1m2f suits best.
(5) Kingmania (10/1 +70%)
Kingmania

10/1(+70%)
(5) Kingmania 10/1, Progressive earlier in her career for Chris Wall and, having drawn a blank in 2022, she made the perfect start for new yard in a first-time hood at Southwell (1m) in April. Disappointing in a Nottingham handicap next time, though, and probably biting off more than she can chew at this level.
Four-time handicap winner, the latest in April, but she's up against it in today's company.
(3) Espressoo (11/1 +8%)
Espressoo

11/1(+8%)
(3) Espressoo 11/1, Back to form when making a winning reappearance at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) in May. However, she was put in her place in this grade next time and a similar outcome is anticipated here.
Won handicap at Musselburgh on reappearance but only 5th in Musselburgh Listed race since.
(6) Love Interest (25/1 +11%)
Love Interest

25/1(+11%)
(6) Love Interest 25/1, Newcastle novice winner on sole 2-y-o start and twice acquitted herself well in listed company last season, including when fourth of 12 at Ascot (7f, good to soft) in October. However, she hasn't come close to matching that level of form in 3 subsequent starts.
Listed third last May but inconsistent since and well beaten on both outings this year.
(7) Mary Salome (50/1 -52%)
Mary Salome

50/1(-52%)
(7) Mary Salome 50/1, Irish raider who resumed winning ways in a 9-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good) early last month. By no means disgraced when a close third at Limerick next time but she looks up against it raised in class here.
7yo who has been running well in Irish handicaps, but needs clear career best here.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Pontefract Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

PURPLEPAY struggled to get competitive in a couple of Australian Group 1's in the spring but William Haggas's filly, who was a Group 2 winner in France last year, has been found an excellent opportunity to get her career back on track. Fall In Love also boasts some smart form, including when fifth in the Prix de Diane, and may benefit from a change of scenery on her first run for Roger Varian. Al Agaila, Espressoo and Dha Leath can fight it out for the minor honours.

If anywhere near her best back from a 3-month break, PURPLEPAY should simply outclass these rivals. She was nearer last than first in a couple of top-tier races in Australia in March/April but her sights are lowered significantly here and she showed what she can do when landing a Group 2 in France last summer. The Roger Varian-trained duo Zenga and Fall In Love can fill the places, with the former marginally preferred for forecast purposes.

The selection is FALL IN LOVE, who may stage a revival on the back of a switch of stables. Zenga is next on the list.

(7) Kitai (2/1 +0%)
Kitai

2/1(+0%)
(7) Kitai 2/1, C&D maiden winner last autumn and back on the up with 7f Carlisle handicap success 13 days ago. Has the speed to be as effective back at 6f.
Travelled strongly for 7f win at Carlisle a fortnight ago and this 3yo has leading claims.
(1) Summerghand (3.33/1 +26%)
Summerghand

3.33/1(+26%)
(1) Summerghand 3.33/1, Smart gelding who was a three-time winner last year, including in Ayr Gold Cup. Not at his best so far this term but this is a fair bit easier than his recent assignments. No surprise were he to revive.
9yo who hasn't been at his best this year but has dropped down weights and this is easier.
(3) It Just Takes Time (5/1 +23%)
It Just Takes Time

5/1(+23%)
(3) It Just Takes Time 5/1, Winner of 6f handicaps at Thirsk in May and Ripon in June. The type to bounce back from a rare below-par run back at Ripon 19 days ago.
Disappointing favourite at Ripon but in top form previously and could bounce back.
(5) Aphelios (6.5/1 -30%)
Aphelios

6.5/1(-30%)
(5) Aphelios 6.5/1, Stepped up on his reappearance when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. That was his first outing in 11 weeks so possible he'll be a bit sharper now. Also has a first-time visor replacing his cheekpieces.
Progressive in second half of last year and may be able to build on recent 5th at Windsor.
(4) Earls (7.5/1 -7%)
Earls

7.5/1(-7%)
(4) Earls 7.5/1, Irish raider who got back to winning ways at Cork (7f) in May. Not in the same form in a big field at the Curragh (1m) 3 weeks later and now drops back in trip in a bid to get back on track. Also has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie (wore blinkers earlier in his career).
Blip last time but progressive previously and this Irish raider is entitled to respect.
(2) Aleezdancer (12/1 -50%)
Aleezdancer

12/1(-50%)
(2) Aleezdancer 12/1, C&D winner who has added to his tally on Doncaster reappearance in April. Disappointing in his 3 outings since and now sports blinkers in a bid to get back on track.
Mixed form since reappearance win at Doncaster but not ruled out in first-time blinkers.
(6) Bay Breeze (12/1 -33%)
Bay Breeze

12/1(-33%)
(6) Bay Breeze 12/1, Won over 6f at Ripon in April and Thirsk in May. Good length third of 8 to It Just Takes Time back at Ripon last month but his run of good form came to abrupt halt last time.
Needs to bounce back from a poor run at Ripon but running really well prior to that.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Pontefract Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Admirable veteran Summerghand has been cut some slack by the handicapper and is a threat to all on these terms. However, this season's form suggests that ALEEZDANCER might have an edge now he is back on turf and with first-time blinkers applied and Curtis Wilson-Ruddock claiming 7lb, he is taken to bounce back from a modest effort at Newcastle. Bay Breeze and the first-time-visored Aphelios complete the shortlist.

SUMMERGHAND is well handicapped again and is worth siding with to stage a revival faced with a less competitive scenario. Aphelios could be spot on for this after returning from a short break to finish fifth at Windsor last week and is second choice ahead of sole 3-y-o Kitai.

He needs to bounce back from his blip at Ripon but IT JUST TAKES TIME appeared to have excuses and he was in fine form previously.

3.33/1(+33%)
(3) Carrigillihy 3.33/1, Recorded a fourth course success here in May. Not disgraced in better company subsequently but needs to pull out a bit more if he's to resume winning ways.
Four course wins, the latest in May, but has failed to shine over C&D the last twice.
(4) Where's Jeff (4/1 +67%)
Where's Jeff

4/1(+67%)
(4) Where's Jeff 4/1, Built on a good reappearance effort to end a long losing run at Hamilton (11f) in May, knuckling down well in first-time cheekpieces. Not disgraced back in stronger company both starts since and should remain competitive.
The form of his last-time-out fifth at Beverley has worked out well; on the shortlist.
(8) Spritzin' (4.5/1 -35%)
Spritzin'

4.5/1(-35%)
(8) Spritzin' 4.5/1, Well held in a trio of all-weather minor events last year but type to do better now upped appreciably in distance for handicap debut.
Sea The Stars filly who could be entirely different proposition up in trip on h'cap debut.
(1) Billy No Mates (7.5/1 -7%)
Billy No Mates

7.5/1(-7%)
(1) Billy No Mates 7.5/1, Lightly raced in recent seasons and still looked to be working his way back to peak fitness when fourth of 6 at Doncaster in May. Wasn't seen to best effect in a competitive event at York on most recent outing and interesting now returning to calmer waters having been dropped a further 2 lb.
Well handicapped on last season's form but hasn't hit the same heights this term.
(5) Big Cheese (8/1 +20%)
Big Cheese

8/1(+20%)
(5) Big Cheese 8/1, Maiden who ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces up in trip when second of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago, not unduly punished. Back down in trip.
C&D second in April; hasn't built on it but remains lightly raced and is not ruled out.
(9) Cosmic View (8/1 -78%)
Cosmic View

8/1(-78%)
(9) Cosmic View 8/1, Fair maiden who ran his best race when second of 6 in C&D handicap (good) last week, albeit no match for winner. Likely to be in the mix with a repeat.
Encouraging second of six over C&D last Monday and could be involved.
(2) Dundory (9/1 +0%)
Dundory

9/1(+0%)
(2) Dundory 9/1, Refitted with cheekpieces and got off the mark for the season at Doncaster in April before finding only one too good at Hamilton (13.1f) next time. Shade disappointing at Chepstow last time, though, for all that a stronger gallop would have suited.
Good form on soft/good to soft before lesser run on fast going, which may not have suited.
(7) Krona (16/1 -60%)
Krona

16/1(-60%)
(7) Krona 16/1, Much improved for a step up in trip when bolting up on handicap debut at Kempton in February before following up under a penalty at Southwell 6 days later. Well held back on turf after 4 months off at Salisbury 13 days ago but is clearly better than that.
Two stylish AW wins in February but tailed off when back on turf at Salisbury recently.
(6) Tigerten (25/1 -150%)
Tigerten

25/1(-150%)
(6) Tigerten 25/1, Took advantage of a drop in grade at Salisbury in May. Ran at least as well in defeat at Nottingham but hasn't been at his best both outings for new yard, albeit not seen to best effect at Chester last time. Back down in trip.
In good form in May but hasn't been at the same level on his two runs for this yard.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Spritzin' has to be noted in the betting as she steps up in trip and is introduced to turf/handicaps off a workable mark. Her yard remains in good form and she looks another likely improver setting out to test Sir Mark Prescott's tried-and-trusted formula. However, there may be more value in siding with WHERE'S JEFF, who remains on a handy rating and has more proven form on this type of stamina-sapping course. Big Cheese is also considered.

BILLY NO MATES was left poorly placed after a tardy start on his most recent outing at York and is interesting now back down in grade having eased a further 2 lb in the weights, so he receives the vote. The dangers are headed by a pair of 3-y-os in Spritzin', who appeals as the type to do much better now upped markedly in trip, and Cosmic View, who arrives on the back of a career best.

The Sir Mark Prescott-trained SPRITZIN' cost 265,000gns and is by Sea The Stars, and could be a big improver now up in trip.

Lerwick

1.75/1(+65%)
(7) Lerwick 1.75/1, Has made an encouraging start to handicaps, fourth at Haydock on return and would have finished a bit closer had he not been hampered late at Doncaster last time, so not without hope.
Suffered an unlucky passage at Doncaster and this 3yo could be firmly involved.
(5) Do I Dream (3.5/1 -5%)
Do I Dream

3.5/1(-5%)
(5) Do I Dream 3.5/1, Returned with a successful start to the new campaign over C&D in April. Good second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft, 11/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Solid claims again back at Pontefract.
Two-time C&D winner who was staying-on second over 7f at Carlisle a fortnight ago; player.
(6) Hi Clare (4.5/1 -13%)
Hi Clare

4.5/1(-13%)
(6) Hi Clare 4.5/1, Built on good Hamilton reappearance run when resuming winning ways over C&D last month and far from discredited when runner-up at Bath subsequently. Boasts strong claims.
Improving 3yo who has run well on her last two starts and holds strong claims.
(2) Paternoster Square (6/1 -140%)
Paternoster Square

6/1(-140%)
(2) Paternoster Square 6/1, Left previous form behind when second in a novice at Windsor 15 days ago and this shrewd stable should eke further improvement out of him now his attentions are turned to handicaps, so he's worth taking a chance on.
Makes handicap debut off a fair mark and this 3yo is in good hands to continue to progress.
(3) Phoenix Fire (6.5/1 +7%)
Phoenix Fire

(3) Phoenix Fire 6.5/1, Hasn't had much racing and took a step forward when third at Haydock a couple of months ago. Could feature if the race is run to suit. Engaged 4.40 Ayr Monday.
Encouraging third at Haydock in May and he's a possible player.
(4) Cassy O (14/1 -40%)
Cassy O

14/1(-40%)
(4) Cassy O 14/1, Hasn't won for a while but he's fairly treated and arrives on the back of a creditable fourth at Doncaster, so no forlorn hope.
Can be slowly away but some good runs this year and might not be far away.
(1) Mossbawn (80/1 -60%)
Mossbawn

80/1(-60%)
(1) Mossbawn 80/1, Progressive at 4 but lightly raced and largely disappointing since, failing to beat a rival both starts for this yard. Hard to fancy.
His mark has tumbled but he's been tailed off on both runs this season.
LTO Selection:

17:05 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HI CLARE continues to progress well and has a lot going for her as she bids to repeat last month's C&D success off just 2lb higher. The Charlie Johnston-trained filly, who found only one too strong at Bath subsequently, is versatile regarding the ground and is a prime candidate here. Do I Dream returned from a short break with a decent effort at Carlisle and has more to offer, while Cassy O is dangerously well handicapped on his best form.

PATERNOSTER SQUARE took a step forward when runner-up at Windsor last time and he's open to further progress switched to handicaps, so he's preferred to the in-form Hi Clare, who scored here a couple of starts ago. Do I Dream is also well worthy of consideration.

The 3yo LERWICK (nap) did not get the chance to show what he is capable of at Doncaster last time and he's taken to get off the mark.

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.
