16:25 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (17/2 +29%) Caldwell	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(4) Caldwell 17/2, Latest win here in December. 11/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 29 days ago. Back down in trip and he looks vulnerable on balance. Two AW wins from seven starts, including here; way down the field at Wolverhampton latest.
2	6 2nd (6) (25/1 -317%) Swinging London	25 25/1(-317%)	(6) Swinging London 25/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 2/1 and blinkered for 1st time, running respectably when falling in a claiming hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. One to note in the betting back on the level for new yard. Hurdle winner; fell on final 2 starts for O Murphy; first AW run for three years.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +29%) Animato	5 5/1(+29%)	(1) Animato 5/1, 40/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Dropping back in trip here looks a good move and he's worth considering. Two close calls in the autumn (1m4f, turf; 2m at Newcastle); lesser efforts of late.
4	3 4th (3) (5/6 +0%) Simiyann	0.833333 5/6(+0%)	(3) Simiyann 5/6, 14/1, second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 29 days ago, just failing. Up just 1 lb for that near miss and will surely go close again, provided she is not inconvenienced by this drop back in trip. Had 1m4f form in France; two good Wolverhampton runs in Britain (1m1f and 2m); good chance.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -40%) Shake A Leg	14 14/1(-40%)	(5) Shake A Leg 14/1, 10/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 98 days. Record stands at 0-13 on the AW but he has hit the crossbar a couple of times on synthetics and is dangerous to discount off this reduced mark. Well treated on 1m4f turf wins in early 2022; 0-13 on AW but handles Tapeta.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -78%) Midnight Lion	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Midnight Lion 16/1, One win from 3 runs last year. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this course (12.1f) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Lightly raced; pulled up over hurdles for new yard; last of 10 over C&D since.
7th	7 7th (7) (15/2 +53%) Night Bear	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(7) Night Bear 15/2, C&D winner. 66/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.1f) 31 days ago. Now finds himself with a bit to prove. C&D winner in late 2022; not in the best of form since back from break in September.
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 -71%) Can Can Girl	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Can Can Girl 12/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Tim Easterby when below form fifth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and claims if able to bounce back here off an attractive mark. Two 1m4f wins on Newcastle Tapeta; respectable C&D form too; can come on for yard debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -108%) Vallamorey	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Vallamorey 25/1, First run since leaving Chris Fairhurst when 8/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, soft) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Below par latest start in this sphere and she's probably worth taking on. Turf win at 1m2f last spring; not lived up to that since, including on Tapeta (1m4f).

16:25 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SIMIYANN went close on his second start for Ian Williams when beaten a short-head at Wolverhampton over 2m. The drop back in trip is unlikely to be an issue and the son of Australia is capable of going one better. Caldwell has the ability to be competitive if putting his best foot forward after hanging badly in the aforementioned contest. Animato may benefit from a drop back in trip based on recent efforts.

Ready preference is for French-import SIMIYANN, who went very close on his second start on these shores at Wolverhampton and this lightly-raced 4-y-o probably has more to offer. Can Can Girl failed to fire on debut for his new yard at Newcastle but she will be a live danger if on-song, while Animato and Shake A Leg are others with claims.

The switches in distance and the new track are queries for SIMIYANN (nap) but he has less to do than at Wolverhampton last time out.

17:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (33/1 -200%) Bella Bluesky	33 33/1(-200%)	(1) Bella Bluesky 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (8f, 150/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Bumper/novice hurdle winner; sights lowered considerably and trip can suit.
2	4 2nd (4) (15/2 -67%) Miss Sligo	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(4) Miss Sligo 15/2, Modest mare. C&D winner. 7/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm). Off 152 days. Good record on the AW and she has to enter calculations. First and second on latest classified runs at about 1m4f last summer; can go well fresh.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 +7%) Socialist Agenda	7 7/1(+7%)	(6) Socialist Agenda 7/1, Modest gelding. 9/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 16 days ago. Down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Won 3 bumpers and 2 hurdles; difficult year in 2023; beaten long way on AW in January.
4	9 4th (9) (5/2 +9%) Velvet Vulcan	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(9) Velvet Vulcan 5/2, Modest gelding. 6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in minor event at this C&D 18 days ago, having to pick way through. Big player. Maiden but had few realistic chances; came from well back to take 2nd over C&D latest.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 +40%) Reset Button	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(5) Reset Button 9/2, Modest gelding. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and needs to raise his game. Losing run goes back 2 years; running respectably and refitting cheekpieces could help.
6th	8 6th (8) (4/1 +20%) Uther Pendragon	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Uther Pendragon 4/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. 5/1, respectable third of 8 in minor event at Kempton (11f) 5 days ago. One to consider. Six course starts at around 1m4f, winning once and 2nd three times; solid chance.
7th	12 7th (12) (10/1 +50%) Sao Timothy	10 10/1(+50%)	(12) Sao Timothy 10/1, Modest gelding. 4/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Kempton (11f) 5 days ago. Improvement needed. Wasn't beaten far when upped to 1m4f on Polytrack in October; lesser runs since.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/1 -57%) International Law	11 11/1(-57%)	(2) International Law 11/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 11 in minor event (18/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Place possibilities. Seven Tapeta wins, the latest over C&D in late 2022; entitled to be competitive.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -100%) Sugarpiehoneybunch	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Sugarpiehoneybunch 40/1, Modest mare. Eighth of 9 in handicap (150/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Won two 1m4f turf handicaps last April but has lost her way since; no headgear this time.
10th	3 10th (3) (33/1 -106%) King Athelstan	33 33/1(-106%)	(3) King Athelstan 33/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in minor event at this C&D (33/1) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal. C&D winner of similar race last March; only 4 runs since, well below best the last twice.
11th	11 11th (11) (33/1 -65%) My Boy Benji	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) My Boy Benji 33/1, Modest gelding. Eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 20 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well held in 3 AW handicaps from 1m-1m4f; now eligible for this grade; first-time headgear.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 -433%) Lightning Spark	40 40/1(-433%)	(10) Lightning Spark 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1). Off 137 days and back up in trip. Others have achieved more. Fair handicap debut over 1m4f at Wolverhampton; lesser run when last seen in September.

17:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Lightning Spark's best run to date came over this distance at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start and the drop to this level gives her every chance of shedding the maiden tag. The vote, though, goes to VELVET VULCAN following her recent C&D second when improving for the application of both a tongue-tie and cheekpieces. Uther Pendragon and Miss Sligo complete the shortlist.

VELVET VULCAN encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when runner-up over C&D recently and, with the cheekpieces and tongue strap he sported for the first time that day on again, the 5-y-o is taken to go one better with Billy Loughnane in the hot-seat. Miss Sligo's record on artificial surfaces is solid and she rates the main danger ahead of Socialist Agenda.

Uther Pendragon has solid claims but VELVET VULCAN came home quite nicely over C&D last time and is just preferrred.

17:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +32%) Quercine	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(7) Quercine 9/4, Twice-raced filly. Second of 9 in maiden (8/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 45 days ago. Claims if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out further improvement. Ran fast for a long way on 2nd start, over 5f at Wolverhampton; entitled to show up well.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/8 +7%) Cast No Shadow	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(3) Cast No Shadow 13/8, Lightly-raced colt. Last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 16/1) 33 days ago. Poor though that effort was, he has every chance here judged on what he showed in novice events at Newcastle prior to that. Well held over 6f latest but good chance on earlier 5f runs on Newcastle Tapeta.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 -144%) Exponential	22 22/1(-144%)	(4) Exponential 22/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden (40/1) at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Signs of some ability over 5f at Newcastle; very likely to be more at home in handicaps.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -54%) Tees Harriet	10 10/1(-54%)	(6) Tees Harriet 10/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 10 in maiden (40/1) at Newcastle (5f) on debut 11 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on her and she could take a step forward here. Bred to be speedy; 40-1 for 5f Newcastle debut but showed ability; can improve.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -175%) Mariners Way	22 22/1(-175%)	(5) Mariners Way 22/1, Twice-raced filly. 22/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 59 days ago. Place possibilites given hint of promise shown on debut in November. Just a hint of ability so far but sister Riversway did well for yard and 1-1 over C&D.
6th	1 6th (1) (150/1 -88%) Kipp Kelly	150 150/1(-88%)	(1) Kipp Kelly 150/1, Once-raced gelding. 33/1, last of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 16 days ago. Significantly down in trip and looks set for another struggle. Nicely bred but finished remote on 7f debut; best watched until handicapping.
7th	8 7th (8) (7/1 -155%) Sparklight	7 7/1(-155%)	(8) Sparklight 7/1, Lightly-raced filly. Good fourth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f, 3/1) when last seen in September. Looks sure to pick up a race at some point and bold show on the cards. Thereabouts in all starts at sprint trips, including over C&D, but off since September.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 +85%) Big Blue Boy	5 5/1(+85%)	(2) Big Blue Boy 5/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 14 in minor event (16/1) at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) on debut. Off 8 months and he's probably more one for handicaps further down the line. Bred to sprint but over 17l behind the winner on 5f turf debut last May; off since.

17:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Sparklight and QUERCINE appear to be the two to concentrate on. The former was fairly consistent on all five of her starts last season, placing on three occasions, but the latter, who finished second at Wolverhampton in December, might just have the edge in terms of fitness. The application of cheekpieces might also yield some improvement. Cast No Shadow is rated 6lb superior to Sparklight, but he arrives with something to prove after a below-par effort in handicap company at Kempton.

It could be worth siding with TEES HARRIET, who is bred to be a useful sprinter and shaped well on her recent introduction at Newcastle. She will be more street-wise this time and may find the necessary improvement to lower the colours of the main form contenders, Cast No Shadow and Sparklight. Quercine also needs a second look.

The step up to 6f last time didn't go well for CAST NO SHADOW but he ought to have strong claims back over 5f on Tapeta.

2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 +12%) Sumac	22 22/1(+12%)	(9) Sumac 22/1, Poor gelding. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Creditable third of 8 in minor event (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago. Visor on 1st time. 16-race maiden; well beaten third over 7f last time; new headgear; more needed from him.
3	11 3rd (11) (8/1 -7%) Van Zant	8 8/1(-7%)	(11) Van Zant 8/1, Modest gelding. One win from 22 Flat runs (at Wolverhampton in December). Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Off the mark at Wolverhampton Boxing Day (7f); has not fared as well since; bit to prove.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 +73%) Wrath Of Hector	9 9/1(+73%)	(12) Wrath Of Hector 9/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. 15/2, sixth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago. On a long losing run; not in the best of form recently and others look stronger.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 -25%) Kananga	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Kananga 10/1, Modest gelding. 13/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Third in headgear over 8.5f at Wolverhampton in December; not so good last time.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/10 +63%) Copper Mountain	1.1 11/10(+63%)	(3) Copper Mountain 11/10, 3/1, won 8-runner minor event at this course (8.1f) 11 days ago. Good record under this rider and she could be hard to beat. Won over 1m here last time; just as effective at 7f; yard going well; in the mix.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 +28%) Ebury	18 18/1(+28%)	(4) Ebury 18/1, Poor gelding. Two wins from 58 Flat runs. 6½ lengths eighth of 10 to Twistaline in minor event (10/1) at this course (8.1f) 6 days ago. Difficult ask. Hasn't won since his 3yo days; well beaten here last week and others have stronger claims.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 +0%) Royal Mariner	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Royal Mariner 50/1, Modest gelding. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f, 66/1) 11 days ago. No win since 2022 when winning twice at Lingfield (6f, AW): fair run latest; more needed.
9th	2 9th (2) (10/1 -54%) Atrafan	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Atrafan 10/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 9 in minor event (4/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Dual C&D winner, latest in January 2023; in fair form at present; each-way chance.

18:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Twistaline won one of these classified events well over 1m here six days ago and another bold showing looks assured. However, she must concede weight away all round as a result and COPPER MOUNTAIN looks the one to be on. She also won in this company here last time and lining up in receipt of 5lb from Twistaline could prove key. Atrafan rates best of the rest.

COPPER MOUNTAIN returned to winning ways under Jo Mason in a similar event here recently and could be hard to beat back down in trip. Hawajes and Twistaline are also in the mix.

After an improved effort last time, HAWAJES is taken to get off the mark by beating Twistaline, Copper Mountain and Atrafan.

2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 +55%) Dion Baker	9 9/1(+55%)	(5) Dion Baker 9/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 13 days ago. Most of best form has come on grass and he failed to find much on last two 7f AW runs.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 +8%) Airshow	11 11/1(+8%)	(1) Airshow 11/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two wins on Tapeta here, at 6f and 7f; two good runs here this winter; can be involved.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -150%) Coolree	20 20/1(-150%)	(4) Coolree 20/1, 9/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Had 7f form on AW in Ireland; sole win at 1m on turf but worth another go at this trip.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +17%) Devasboy	10 10/1(+17%)	(10) Devasboy 10/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (8f) 17 days ago. Ran best race for a while over 1m at Newcastle last time; well worth another go at 7f.

8th	3 8th (3) (13/2 -30%) City Cyclone	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) City Cyclone 13/2, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, well on top finish. Seems a more solid proposition on AW and may do better still. Leading claims. Took time to get off the mark but quite impressive over 7f at Newcastle latest; up 4lb.
9th	6 9th (6) (13/2 +28%) Homer Stokes	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(6) Homer Stokes 13/2, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Off 4 months, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 13 days ago. All three wins over C&D, twice at the end of last summer; only 3lb higher now; contender.

Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut and could do better now. One to note. Useful pedigree; there could be more to come from him now back at 7f on handicap debut.

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Tony Carroll has his string in good nick at the moment so another big performance from CITY CYCLONE seems likely. He is lightly raced on all-weather and won a shade cosily when switched back to the Flat at Wolverhampton 16 days ago, so a 4lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from recording a double. Beylerbeyi and Reputation are the dangers.

KING OF YORK deserves a change of luck and could be the way to go back in trip. Beylerbeyi is a big danger after a good second in a Newcastle handicap that has worked out. Wolverhampton-winner City Cyclone must be respected also.

This is very open but CITY CYCLONE seemed to relish the switch to Tapeta when winning at Wolverhampton and he may be able to follow up.

May do better again. Career best when 2nd on yard debut over 1m6f here last time; first run at 2m; good shout.

2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -43%) Churchella	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Churchella 5/1, 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 46 days ago, likely to have won pretty comfortably but for repeatedly hanging left up the straight.

19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in distance over 1m6f unlocked enough improvement for CHURCHELLA to regain the winning thread at Chelmsford in December. This extended 2m trip looks sure to suit the four-year-old and she may be able to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings. Molly Mischief offered plenty of encouragement on her second-placed stable bow here last month and the Muhaarar filly likely has more to offer, while the downgraded Smart Champion cannot be ruled out either.

CHURCHELLA would have won pretty comfortably but for repeatedly hanging left up the straight at Chelmsford so is taken to defy a 3 lb rise. The lightly-raced Molly Mischief is next best ahead of Ney.

The unexposed MOLLY MISCHIEF, who was second here on her stable debut last month, is preferred to Ghadbbaan and Churchella.

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The switch to more aggressive tactics was enough for ZEPHLYN to open his account at Newcastle a fortnight ago. The five-year-old made all in convincing fashion and looks more than capable of coping with a 5lb rise in the handicap. Eagle's Realm was four lengths behind the selection that day and he may put up most resistance, ahead of I'm Too Tired, who has been in good form over hurdles of late.

EAGLE'S REALM was too free when 4 lengths second to the well-ridden Zephlyn at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and is fancied to reverse the placings aided by a 5 lb swing, Young Endless is worth another chance to build on stable debut and looks best of the others.

This can go to recent hurdles winner I'M TOO TIRED who can improve markedly for this step up in trip.

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SIBYL CHARM has turned a corner recently with the four-year-old shedding the maiden tag at Newcastle when last seen. The return to 6f isn't likely to cause any problems and she could prove a tough nut to crack. Dandys Derriere went close over C&D last month and is respected off a 2lb higher mark, while Boafo Boy and McCauley's Tavern are others likely to be in the mix.

SIBYL CHARM gained compensation for a luckless run at Wolverhampton when overcoming a pace bias at Newcastle 11 days ago and remains of strong interest. Boafo Boy should have justified strong support at Chelmsford last time so is the obvious threat, with the in-form Dandys Derriere best of the others.

Boafo Boy has finally found some form and is respected but SIBYL CHARM still has some potential at 6f when things go her way.

20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DAYTONA LADY bids for a hat-trick having dead-heated at Chelmsford before winning by a narrow margin at Wolverhampton. The form of her latest success was franked by the runner-up, who runs in division one of this contest, and Ruth Carr's filly might still be ahead of the handicapper. Al Muqdad is likely to be competitive on his handicap bow following a couple of eye-catching displays in novice/maiden company. Others to consider are Blackjack and Secret Road.

AL MUQDAD has caught the eye on his last 2 starts so improvement can be expected now handicapping off what is potentially an attractive mark. Hat-trick seeking Daytona Lady is a likely threat, with Heartrate another to consider dropping to a 0-70.

He's had a few chances now but KITAAB is temptingly treated on his best form and dropping back to sprinting looks the right move.

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.
