13:30 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (40/85 +24%) Mordor	0.470588 40/85(+24%)	(6) Mordor 40/85, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 2/1, creditable second of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 37 days ago, no match for winner. Looks to have finished improving but she's a definite player on what she has achieved to date. Placed in four of his seven starts over hurdles, should be too strong for these rivals.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -21%) Leitzel	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(1) Leitzel 10/3, Fair Flat winner who has made a promising start over hurdles for her new stable over hurdles, third of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 5/2) 40 days ago. Likely she can play a part again. Won twice for David O'Meara, has made a bright start over hurdles, placed both attempts.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -20%) Bobbysingindablues	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Bobbysingindablues 12/1, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler On Cloud Nine. Dam French hurdle winner around 2m. Made frame on first of 2 starts in points, unplaced last time (Mar 31). Not a bad pedigree but did not show much in two runs in points in March.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 -100%) Serotonin	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Serotonin 40/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. First run since leaving Alan Richardson when twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Has failed to make the frame in eight Flat starts, cheekpieces tried now.
5th	12 5th (12) (125/1 -25%) Tiny Angel	125 125/1(-25%)	(12) Tiny Angel 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) in December, tailing off before straight. Absent subsequently and she's hard to make a case for here. Tailed off in two Irish starts last November, absent since pulled at Ayr last December.
6th	10 6th (10) (100/1 -52%) Shashado	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Shashado 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 53 days ago. Probably one for later on. 66-1 when a remote eighth on his debut at Tipperary in May, likely to need more experience.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -230%) Psycho Sid	66 66/1(-230%)	(7) Psycho Sid 66/1, Casamento gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Athagabhain. Dam ran once in bumper. Third foal half-brother to 2m4f hurdle winner Athagabhain, dam well beaten in a bumper.
8th	3 8th (3) (125/1 -150%) Cois Fharraige	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Cois Fharraige 125/1, Doyen gelding. Hooded, last of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 100/1) on NH debut 40 days ago, left behind quickly 2 out. Can only be watched on the back of that. Never in contention when taking on previous winners on debut at Ballinrobe, no appeal.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -300%) Rocket Ruby	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Rocket Ruby 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Jumping was ragged at Roscommon, hampered by a faller after four out, held by Game Eagle.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (20/1 -122%) Game Eagle	20 20/1(-122%)	(5) Game Eagle 20/1, Well held on 6 starts on Flat but achieved more when seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, good, 40/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. That doesn't appeal as strong form but it remains early days with him in this sphere. Low-grade handicapper on Flat, not a bad effort on hurdle debut though jumping was untidy.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (50/1 -52%) Strandhill Bay	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Strandhill Bay 50/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser The Granson, stayed 19f. Dam 1m winner at 2 yrs. Half-brother to jumps winners The Granson and Kinbara Firstdraft and two Flat winners.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (125/1 -400%) Cowper Hall	125 125/1(-400%)	(4) Cowper Hall 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago, always behind having not jumped too fluently. Needs to leave that behind if he's to feature. Finished with only one behind him in a maiden at Downpatrick last month, safe to rule out.

LEITZEL won her first two starts as a two-year-old when with David O'Meara and had fair handicap form for him last term. She has shaped well in her first two starts over hurdles and wasn't beaten far when third at Ballinrobe in May. That was an ordinary contest but this looks no stronger and she can score if brushing up her jumping, which was novicey last time. Mordor is the obvious danger and has plenty of experience in this discipline. Placed in four of his six starts over hurdles, he was clear of the remainder when chasing home a smart type at Tramore. Game Eagle ran okay when mid-division on hurdling debut at Roscommon and has place claims.

MORDOR looks to have finished improving but the pick of his exploits over hurdles gives him sound claims here, so he's narrowly preferred to Leitzel in a race lacking depth. Game Eagle may emerge best of the remainder.

The experienced MORDOR should be able to take advantage of this opportunity. Flat winner Leitzel is the only logical alternative

14:00 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 -67%) Torquay Road	5 5/1(-67%)	(4) Torquay Road 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 11/1) 55 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Peter John Flood. Place chance on the form of Ballinrobe sixth on the second of three bumper runs, new yard.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 -11%) Bobbi Gin Tree	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(6) Bobbi Gin Tree 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, sixth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 22 days ago. Obvious claims. Fair fifth at Thurles last November, should be better for her recent run at Downpatrick.
3	1 3rd (1) (17/2 -113%) Aine's Lad	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(1) Aine's Lad 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/1, fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) on hurdles bow 21 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has shown some promise in bumpers and on hurdling debut at Downpatrick, could feature.
4	5 4th (5) (7/2 +50%) Upthereforthinking	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(5) Upthereforthinking 7/2, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20.4f, good) 36 days ago. Trainer going well. Well below his best in two runs this year, reasonable prospects if restored to best form.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 +39%) Thunder Rose	20 20/1(+39%)	(9) Thunder Rose 20/1, 50/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Has been unable to build on her well-beaten fifth at Gowran last November.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -60%) Kilbride Hill	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Kilbride Hill 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, heavy) 168 days ago. Three-figure odds on all four starts, others are better treated by the race conditions.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -113%) Pallas Athene	16 16/1(-113%)	(8) Pallas Athene 16/1, Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. 33/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Frustrating sort, beaten favourite four times, another poor run at Cork on Friday.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 -33%) Kimjoy	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) Kimjoy 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Every chance when falling 2 out at Bellewstown prior to that. Merits consideration. Running well up the point of her fall at Bellewstown, unseated four out at Perth, risky.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 +50%) You Make Me Smile	33 33/1(+50%)	(10) You Make Me Smile 33/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and over hurdles. Weak hurdles form, soundly beaten in two Flat handicap runs in May, up against it.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (150/1 -200%) Texas King	150 150/1(-200%)	(3) Texas King 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Nothing in his three outings in recent months to suggest he can play a leading part.

TORQUAY ROAD showed potential in bumpers and may be able to take this on hurdling and stable debut. His best effort in three starts for Peter Flood was when sixth in a useful contest at Ballinrobe and he may have made his move too soon at Killarney last time. The bar is not set high for his first foray over hurdles. Bobbi Gin Tree had a nice run when fifth in a decent maiden at Thurles in November and might have needed his first run since at Downpatrick last month. He should be sharper here and can contend. Upthereforthinking is hard to fancy on recent form but a repeat of his Navan handicap run before Christmas would see him involved.

Henry de Bromhead's BOBBI GIN TREE has shown a fair level of ability and might prove up to the task in what isn't a strong maiden. Kimjoy has failed to complete the last twice but did hold every chance when coming down 2 out at Bellewstown on her penultimate outing and is second choice ahead of Aine's Lad.

Not much worthwhile hurdles form on view here. TORQUAY ROAD has shown just enough to suggest he could score on hurdling debut.

14:35 Sligo Handicap Hurdle 17f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (6/1 -33%) Hidden Land	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Hidden Land 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler, career best when winning Downpatrick handicap last month. Only seventh on the Flat at Ballinrobe since. Engaged 5.58 Bellewstown Saturday. Well-beaten Bellewstown yesterday, previously gave a good winning display over hurdles, up 10lb.
1	5 1st (5) (10/1 +29%) Gone For Tea	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Gone For Tea 10/1, Last of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Must improve. Bumper winner, jumped badly and failed to do herself justice at Ballinrobe last time..
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -78%) Instant Tendance	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Instant Tendance 4/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner minor event hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.6f, good to soft, 8/13) 20 days ago, cruising clear. Should go well. Suited by the race conditions when winning easily at Kilbeggan, mark left unchanged.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +38%) Red Ball Of Fire	5 5/1(+38%)	(4) Red Ball Of Fire 5/1, 3-time C&D winner, including this race 12 months ago. 6/1, fifth of 10 in novice chase at Clonmel (16.4f, good) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Locally-trained mare has won three of her four hurdle starts at this venue, merits respect.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +33%) Miss Fourie	8 8/1(+33%)	(3) Miss Fourie 8/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Beat Jumping Susie in a maiden last summer, not at her best in two outings this year.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 +21%) Flidais	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(7) Flidais 11/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 17/2) 40 days ago. Decent form lately, second at Kilbeggan and not beaten far in fourth at Ballinrobe.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 +20%) Bigira	6 6/1(+20%)	(9) Bigira 6/1, Good fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.8f, good to soft, 9/2) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Modest form in maidens, has made the frame in three of her four handicap starts.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -25%) Glendars Mahler	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Glendars Mahler 20/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 6 in novice hurdle (18/1) at Thurles (23f, soft). Off 7 months. Back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Course maiden winner over 2m2f last August, subsequent handicap form below that standard.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (11/2 -38%) Jumping Susie	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(6) Jumping Susie 11/2, Career best when winning 15-runner maiden hurdle (13/2) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Respected back in a handicap. Won a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Tramore on seasonal debut, this trip may be shorter than ideal.

INSTANT TENDANCE had a simple task at Kilbeggan last month and her mark has been left alone. Gordon Elliott's charge, a maiden winner at Navan in March, was a creditable fourth on her most recent handicap start at Bellewstown the following month and Kevin Sexton now knows her after being on board for her latest outing. She has a fair chunk of weight to shoulder but should take a bit of beating. Red Ball Of Fire is a regular at her local track and landed this contest off the same mark a year ago. She didn't land a blow over fences last time but her previous couple of runs on the Flat here were respectable. Flidais has been running consistently since the spring and is likely to be thereabouts again.

INSTANT TENDANCE is a reliable sort who might be up to notching another win back in handicap company. Red Balls of Fire has dipped to the same mark as when winning this last year and is feared most ahead of last-time-out Tramore scorer Jumping Susie.

An open race but INSTANT TENDANCE could be hard to beat having been left off on the same mark after an unchallenged Kilbeggan win

15:05 Sligo Handicap Hurdle 17f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (33/1 -32%) Lakomet Of Saints	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Lakomet Of Saints 33/1, 16/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Tipperary (17.3f, good to soft) 5 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkered for 1st time. Has been running over fences, below his best in three starts since Tramore fourth in April.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +0%) For Everyone	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) For Everyone 33/1, 40/1, 23¼ lengths eleventh of 16 to Herculaneum in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Best form came in juvenile hurdles in 2019, chase winner last year, two poor runs in May.
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +11%) Ankud	4 4/1(+11%)	(1) Ankud 4/1, Very good seventh of 28 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Early promise in bumpers, ran in strong maiden hurdles last year, potentially interesting.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/3 +83%) Golden Sandbanks	3.333333 10/3(+83%)	(6) Golden Sandbanks 10/3, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 3 days ago, possibly amiss when. Others more persuasive. Badly out of form since AW win last November, struggled at Tipperary on Thursday.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -367%) Win Some Lose Some	7 7/1(-367%)	(7) Win Some Lose Some 7/1, Promising individual. Won 12-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good, 3/1) 51 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Shortlist material. Appreciated better ground when winning a 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden, opening marks looks fair.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +13%) Herculaneum	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(2) Herculaneum 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Ballinrobe in May. Below par back on the Flat next time. Can make presence felt back in this sphere. Down the field on the Flat last time, better judged on consistent handicap hurdle form.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -33%) Full Noise	6 6/1(-33%)	(5) Full Noise 6/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Paul Traynor when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy, 9/1) 147 days ago. Down in trip. Respected. Form of heavy-ground Navan second in February strongly advertised by the winner Aodhan May.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 +0%) Thunder	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Thunder 14/1, Won maiden hurdle at Tramore last summer but no form since. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back down in trip. Has taken two falls over fences lately, lost form after a maiden hurdle win 13 months ago.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 -10%) True Destiny	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) True Destiny 11/1, Course winner. 17/2, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago, needing stiffer test. Both hurdle wins have come at this track, hard to fancy on the form of two 2024 runs.

FULL NOISE bumped into an improver in Aodhan May when last seen at Navan in February and may be able to strike off this mark now. The Carlotamix gelding was well backed then but was no match for his rival in the closing stages and that form looks strong with Aodhan May going on to win three times since. Win Some Lose Some came good in a weak maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in mid-May and is still unexposed. He looks a danger on his handicap debut off a mark of 105. Ankud had a couple of decent runs in winter maiden hurdles and is another to note on his handicap debut.

WIN SOME LOSE SOME got up in remarkable fashion to open his account at the third attempt at Kilbeggan and should have more to offer still now handicapping. Full Noise and Herculaneum look best of the others.

The form of the race in which FULL NOISE was second at Navan in February has been well advertised by the winner Aodhan May.

First run since leaving Charles O'Brien when creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 33/1) 22 days ago. Claims if building on that.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 -155%) Steps In The Sand	7 7/1(-155%)	(4) Steps In The Sand 7/1, Winner on level in March and performed well in handicap hurdles more recently, latest when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, good) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Big player. Up 4lb in total for runner-up efforts at Punchestown and Roscommon; in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (25/1 -25%) Craic Eile	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Craic Eile 25/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Below form eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Booking of Shinnick a plus. Exposed and no joy since pair of wins at Tramore in 2021; held at that track this year.

In fine form over fences lately, getting a good steer from this pilot to win at Clonmel.
6th	13 6th (13) (18/1 -80%) Hollow Spark	18 18/1(-80%)	(13) Hollow Spark 18/1, Posted best effort to date when third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft, 100/1) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Remains fairly treated and merits consideration. Had shown little until much-improved 100-1 third at Tramore, that after a 15-month layoff.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 +15%) Ask The Leader	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Ask The Leader 28/1, 25/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Three hurdling wins at Downaptrick; lost form last year, well held on comeback.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 -100%) County Champs	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) County Champs 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (17.8f, good to soft, 200/1) 26 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Work to do. Out the back in maidens, remote seventh here last month; should fare better in handicaps.
9th	1 9th (1) (20/1 +0%) Nevermindestranger	20 20/1(+0%)	(1) Nevermindestranger 20/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap chase (22/1) at Downpatrick (19.4f, good) 22 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

16	16 \|U\| (16) (18/1 +45%) Trim To Milan	18 18/1(+45%)	(16) Trim To Milan 18/1, Below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good) 29 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Modest maiden had a creditable run at Punchestown in November; hard to fancy all the same.
10th	14 10th (14) (85/40 +15%) Falcon Park	2.125 85/40(+15%)	(14) Falcon Park 85/40, 22/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 80 days ago. Back up in trip.

FALCON PARK is interesting here on his first outing for Emmet Mullins. The Arcadio gelding ran well when last seen at Clonmel in April, finishing fourth to Tingarran Express, and if Mullins can extract any improvement he should be able to win a race off the basement mark. Steps In The Sand has been knocking on the door and is an obvious contender. He only went down by three-parts-of-a-length at Roscommon last time and is just 2lb higher. Barbaha Queen has been in good form over fences and is another for the shortlist on her return to the smaller obstacles.

STEPS IN THE SAND arrives in fine form and looks worth a crack at this longer trip. She gets the nod. Barbaha Queen and Hollow Spark head the list of dangers.

The one with by far the most solid recent form is STEPS IN THE SAND and this step back up in trip shouldn't be an issue

LA HACIENDA will appreciate going a little bit further here and should be up to winning a race off this mark over timber. She's a better mare on the Flat but it was a solid effort to finish third over timber at Downpatrick last time and she is only a couple of pounds higher now. Del Girl showed improvement when losing out narrowly at Punchestown and is still relatively unexposed. She went up 3lb for that effort and looks like an obvious danger. Pettigo was also second last time out, at Downpatrick, and is another with potential upside. She also has to be on the shortlist.

DEL GIRL is going the right way and is fancied to get off the mark. La Hacienda and Divilabother also appeal in what looks a competitive affair.

On just her third start in h'caps, DEL GIRL appreciated stepping up to this trip when just denied at Punchestown and can go one better

The progressive FLICKER OF HOPE may be able to land his hat-trick. The Buck's Boum gelding won nicely at Clonmel in mid-May before following up with a bit to spare at Wexford later that month. He probably wants a bit of a cut in the ground so any showers would be welcome. I Am Spider Man takes a step up in trip after a convincing success here last month. He went up 10lb for that six-length success and is a leading contender again despite the hike. Early Arrival is another who scored by a wide margin last time and has to be respected. He went up 9lb for his easy 12-length Tramore success.

This looks very competitive but FLICKER OF HOPE arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and follow up his stylish Wexford victory. Course winner I Am Spider Man heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Mr Dibbs, Glendine Billy, Early Arrival and Sphagnum.

An interesting clash between FLICKER OF HOPE and I Am Spider Man; the former is the more proven stayer and can complete a hat-trick

APPLE'S OF BRESIL is a nice horse and should be hard to beat in a summer bumper. The Blue Bresil gelding has kept good company on his three runs to date and was most recently seen finishing third, albeit well-beaten, behind Ballyburn in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown in December. He had lost out by a couple of heads in a strong Navan bumper previously and on that form he's hard to oppose. Obviously Willie Mullins has to be respected with his runner Chart Topper. The Walk In The Park gelding was a decent third in a Punchestown bumper last month. Iamagetaway also showed ability in some strong winter bumpers and is another for the shortlist.

A case can be made for a few of these but Willie Mullins' son of Walk In The Park CHART TOPPER shaped as though this longer trip would be to his benefit when a staying-on third in a big field at Punchestown last time so edges the vote. Ocean Brew should also be suited by this trip so could build on her Tramore fourth and emerge as the main danger. Recent course second Wild Mandate, the returning Apple's of Bresil and newcomer Our June command plenty of respect too.

Beaten two heads on his latest start in bumpers, this looks a good opportunity for APPLE'S OF BRESIL and the tongue-tie might help

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.
