17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (10/1 -200%) Queen Of Atlantis	10 10/1(-200%)	(1) Queen Of Atlantis 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving James Ferguson when eighth of 12 on nursery bow at Lingfield (7f, AW, 28/1) 16 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. Up in trip. Has to be taken seriously. Reportedly bled from the nose 16 days ago but she gave major renewed hope in that race.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +28%) Glistening Nights	3.5 7/2(+28%)	(8) Glistening Nights 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 6/1) 33 days ago. His handicap runs at York (1m, soft) and Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) need to be left behind him.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +50%) Rich Harry	4 4/1(+50%)	(2) Rich Harry 4/1, 13/2, respectable fifth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 17 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Probably not far away but he needs to find extra to break his duck.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +33%) There's No Limit	8 8/1(+33%)	(3) There's No Limit 8/1, Eleventh of 12 in nursery (14/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Visor on 1st time. Best on first two starts; now moves up in trip again and tries a visor.
5th	9 5th (9) (25/1 -108%) Fly Pass	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Fly Pass 25/1, 9/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 11-race maiden and probably vulnerable again; different headgear.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/5 +47%) Buttercross Flyer	3.2 16/5(+47%)	(4) Buttercross Flyer 16/5, Winner at Newcastle in August. 9/2, excuses when sixth of 9 in nursery at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 65 days ago. Enters calculations back on AW. Front-running filly; running creditably before a lesser show over 1m on heavy; respected.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 -23%) Manos Arriba	8 8/1(-23%)	(7) Manos Arriba 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in nursery at Lingfield (8f, AW, 5/1) 51 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Pretty disappointing when 5-1 for handicap debut at Lingfield (1m); now sports a visor.
8th	5 8th (5) (5/1 +0%) Rose Branch	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Rose Branch 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 50 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Plenty of stamina on dam's side; should be good deal more interesting on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A half-brother to a winner over this sort of trip, JUAN SOLO steps into a nursery off a workable mark and looks worth chancing in a race lacking in depth. The Sylvester Kirk-trained gelding has already proven to be effective on Tapeta, with two placed efforts in restricted maidens at this venue, and can potentially do better over this longer distance. Buttercross Flyer is respected as the only previous winner in the field, while Fly Pass is handily drawn if he takes to racing in first-time blinkers.

QUEEN OF ATLANTIS was in the process of showing much-improved form making yard/handicap debut until short of room inside the final 1f at Lingfield earlier this month, and looks an interesting contender eased 2 lb. Buttercross Flyer had excuses at Nottingham last time and is worth another chance, while handicap-debutant Juan Solo has got better with each run.

Preference is handicap newcomer JUAN SOLO, who has shown up well at this track on his last two outings

1	3 1st (3) (8/13 +38%) El Bufalo	0.615385 8/13(+38%)	(3) El Bufalo 8/13, Promising type. Second of 10 in novice at Newcastle (5f) on debut 14 days ago. Hard to beat if making the anticipated improvement. Always-prominent second of ten in novice at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) sets a high standard.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 -129%) Quercine	8 8/1(-129%)	(9) Quercine 8/1, 3/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford (6f) on debut 50 days ago. Open to progress. Second favourite, in touch long way when fourth of ten in maiden at Chelmsford (6f, AW).
3	8 3rd (8) (80/1 -142%) Dark Enigma	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Dark Enigma 80/1, Poor form in her 2 outings to date. Cheekpieces need to spark major improvement. Wears cheekpieces after fading right out of it at Dundalk (7f; 150-1) and here (6f; 125-1).
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 +45%) Fiddler's Elbow	11 11/1(+45%)	(4) Fiddler's Elbow 11/1, 10/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Chelmsford (6f) on debut 11 days ago. Visor quickly reached for. Modest form when fading at Chelmsford (6f, AW; 10-1) 11 days ago; visored this time.
5th	5 5th (5) (50/1 -52%) Erin May	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Erin May 50/1, 50/1, seventh of 9 in novice at this course (6f) on debut 13 days ago. 50-1 for 6f novice here but never better than mid-division and it was modest form.
6th	1 6th (1) (22/1 -120%) Blazes Boylan	22 22/1(-120%)	(1) Blazes Boylan 22/1, Dream Ahead gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winning sprinter Iffranesia. Newcomer to note in the betting. Gelded; speedy pedigree but yard doesn't have many 2yos go in first time.
7th	7 7th (7) (200/1 -100%) Queen For Adaay	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Queen For Adaay 200/1, 150/1, eighth of 9 in C&D novice on debut 6 days ago. Slowly and green when 150-1 for C&D novice six days ago, always behind.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/4 +31%) Collusion	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(2) Collusion 11/4, 27,000 gns Inns of Court colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 7f. Would need considering if the betting vibes are strong. 27,000gns yearling by Inns Of Court; first foal; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 96); one to note.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 -108%) Tantomile	25 25/1(-108%)	(10) Tantomile 25/1, £1,000 Bobby's Kitten filly. Dam 7f-11f winner. One of 2 newcomers from her stable. The betting should help to separate them. £1,000 yearling by Bobby's Kitten; first foal; dam 7f-1m3f winner (including AW; RPR 84).

LTO Selection:

17:45 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

El Bufalo sets the standard from those with previous experience and is noteworthy turned out relatively quickly after a respectable second-placed finish on debut at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Very likely to be wiser now, another big run is expected from this son of Havana Grey. However, GOLDEN BERENICE rates the pick of Richard Fahey's two entrants and, with her sex allowance a handy asset, she can capitalise from a plum draw. Fellow newcomer Collusion completes the shortlist along with Quercine, who is another potential improver.

EL BUFALO will set the bar pretty high if stepping up as expected on his Newcastle debut effort. Quercine shaped quite nicely on her debut at Chelmsford last month. Collusion is one of a few newcomers who need keeping an eye on in the betting.

Quercine looks the clear second best on racecourse evidence but EL BUFALO showed much more when he was second at Newcastle.

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (7/2 -3%) Petit Calvados	3.5 7/2(-3%)	(8) Petit Calvados 7/2, Creditable third of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Dundalk (6f) 7 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly. Close third at Dundalk last week and has claims if she can back that up.
2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 -40%) Nelson Gay	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Nelson Gay 14/1, C&D winner in September. Below par in his 3 outings since but has dipped back to that winning mark. Not discounted. Record of 3-4 at this track and he didn't get the breaks over C&D last time; interesting.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/2 +35%) Star Of Lady M	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(7) Star Of Lady M 13/2, Latest win at Lingfield in November. Rare below-par effort when seventh of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford (5f) since but the type to bounce back. Still unexposed on AW but was disappointing at Chelmsford last time; needs to bounce back.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 +10%) Pop Star	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(4) Pop Star 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Aidan O'Brien when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f, 11/2) 15 days ago. Might build on that. Unexposed 3yo who ran a promising race at Chelmsford on his stable debut; dangerous.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +60%) Pockley	4 4/1(+60%)	(5) Pockley 4/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Newcastle in November. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Capable off this mark on a going day. Won at Newcastle (5f) last month but he's taken backward steps in two starts since.
6th	3 6th (3) (15/2 -67%) Walking On Clouds	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(3) Walking On Clouds 15/2, Four wins from 16 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. Not at best lately but his mark is on the slide. One to note in the betting. Five wins on Tapeta but he's been quiet in last two runs; needs to rediscover his spark.
7th	2 7th (2) (13/2 -117%) Dynamic Force	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(2) Dynamic Force 13/2, 11/1 and cheekpieces on first time, very good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 15 days ago, running on. Sure to go well if in similar form. Up 3lb for his close call at Chelmsford but he remains feasibly treated; big player.
8th	9 8th (9) (7/1 +13%) Betweenthesticks	7 7/1(+13%)	(9) Betweenthesticks 7/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 27 days ago. His last win was 14 months ago but he's had several close calls this year; possibilities.

LTO Selection:

18:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Dynamic Force and Star Of Lady M appeal on recent form and merit places on the shortlist, while the well-travelled Petit Calvados has winning form on Deauville's Polytrack and can go well if he takes to the surface on his Tapeta debut. However, WALKING ON CLOUDS is better than he has shown in three previous starts for the John Butler yard and may offer a bit of value off 3lb lower than his last winning mark (turf).

DYNAMIC FORCE shaped well at Chelmsford last time and could take a bit of stopping if the cheekpieces continue to work. Irish-raider Petit Calvados can give him most to do ahead of Star of Lady M, who is the type to bounce back from a rare below-par run last time.

An open race in which recent Chelmsford runner-up DYNAMIC FORCE gets the vote ahead of Nelson Gay and Petit Calvados.

18:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (13/2 +7%) Queues Likely	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(1) Queues Likely 13/2, Fair filly. 22/1, career best when winning 12-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 41 days ago, always holding on. Makes tapeta debut. More on her plate now penalised but deserves respect. Defied a penalty in a Chelmsford novice (7f) on her AW debut last month; shortlisted.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +8%) Colour Code	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(3) Colour Code 11/4, Promising sort. 12/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut. Off 132 days. Has had breathing operation since and, with that form having worked out well, she's worth taking a chance on. Ran well for long way on Newmarket debut; had wind op since and she's respected on return.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 +50%) Lumiere D'Or	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(7) Lumiere D'Or 7/2, Promising individual. 10/3, seventh of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 67 days ago. Remains with potential but needs to settle better. No progress at Kempton (7f) last time and has bit to prove after another break.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +0%) Queen Maker	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Queen Maker 16/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in minor event (10/3) at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 43 days ago. More required. Didn't live up to market expectations at Chelmsford and needs to leave that form behind.
5th	8 5th (8) (15/2 -15%) Queen Jean	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(8) Queen Jean 15/2, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, seventh of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 51 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement and not completely dismissed. Ran green on her Kempton debut last month and should know more this time; likely improver.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -25%) Gultari	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Gultari 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 12 in maiden (12/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 27 days ago. Well-bred filly but she didn't show a great deal in her two 6f runs last month.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 +31%) Baynoona	11 11/1(+31%)	(2) Baynoona 11/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event (11/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut. Off 6 months. Should improve. Some promise at Ripon in June but she needs improvement upped in trip on her return.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 -125%) Leveret	9 9/1(-125%)	(6) Leveret 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, very good fourth of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sets the standard. Reached the frame in three of her four runs and has leading form claims back in a novice.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -164%) Shaz	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Shaz 66/1, Foaled February 24. Massaat filly. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner). Yard 1-37 in novice events this year and is best watched on debut.
10th	11 10th (11) (66/1 -230%) Sunblock	66 66/1(-230%)	(11) Sunblock 66/1, Foaled April 18. Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Betty F and winner up to 1m Sound Angela, both useful. One to note if the market speaks in her favour. Plenty to like on paper and market should guide on debut; stablemate of Leveret.
11th	4 11th (4) (150/1 -127%) Greycee Bell	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Greycee Bell 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at this C&D 17 days ago. Others preferred. Massive prices and has finished in rear in two 7f events, including over C&D 17 days ago.
12th	12 12th (12) (11/2 -38%) Trivia Quest	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(12) Trivia Quest 11/2, Foaled March 25. 170,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f winner Internationalangel and 5f-6f winner Farook, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. 170,000gns yearling; one of two runners for the yard and she needs a close look in market.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Queen Maker threw away her chances when rearing in the stalls on her Chelmsford debut, but she should have learned from that experience and could be a different proposition here. Newcomer Trivia Quest, a daughter of Dandy Man and related to numerous winners, is respected on her debut and she could go well, but QUEUES LIKELY is preferred. Already successful at Windsor and Chelmsford this year, she only has to give 6lb to her rivals here which may not be beyond Stan Moore's daughter of Massaat.

COLOUR CODE's debut form is strong and she shaped like she would improve for the experience, so she gets the marginal vote over Leveret, who has achieved a bit more in form terms. Trivia Quest is an interesting newcomer.

This looks tricky but COLOUR CODE made a promising start at Newmarket in August and she gets the vote on her return.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (10/1 +17%) Eden Storm	10 10/1(+17%)	(6) Eden Storm 10/1, C&D winner. 10/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 15 days ago. Others look better treated. Won a C&D novice in April but he's not really gone on from that and needs to find more.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +10%) Smoky Mountain	3 3/1(+10%)	(4) Smoky Mountain 3/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/11, career best when winning 11-runner maiden at this C&D 18 days ago, pushed out. More to come switched to handicaps and makes most appeal. Clearcut win over C&D latest and he's open to more progress on handicap debut; key player.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/2 +68%) O G Beachwear	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(10) O G Beachwear 9/2, Winner at Catterick in September. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 30 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once more. Still has potential but she needs to find something extra to make a big impact.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -120%) Visibility	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Visibility 11/1, 5-time course winner. 3 wins from 19 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 7 days ago, staying on well. Carries penalty. Merits respect. Tapeta specialist who is well treated under a penalty for his Southwell win; big player.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -87%) Dutch Kingdom	14 14/1(-87%)	(9) Dutch Kingdom 14/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago, getting first run. One to consider in hat-trick bid despite a tricky draw. Has won here (8.6f) and at Lingfeld (7f) last twice and he's respected in hat-trick bid.
6th	11 6th (11) (9/1 +25%) How Impressive	9 9/1(+25%)	(11) How Impressive 9/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in September. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 27 days ago. Could bounce back quickly. In good form before a disappointing run over C&D last time; needs to bounce back.
7th	12 7th (12) (14/1 -133%) Just Janet	14 14/1(-133%)	(12) Just Janet 14/1, 17/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago, well on top finish. Should go well again if she breaks on terms. Won at Southwell last time but this is tougher off 6lb higher on this step back up grade.
8th	7 8th (7) (15/2 +6%) Algheed	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(7) Algheed 15/2, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 11/1) 37 days ago. Not discounted. 0-10 this year but she's run plenty of good races and has claims if she gets some luck.
9th	1 9th (1) (14/1 -100%) See You Boy	14 14/1(-100%)	(1) See You Boy 14/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 25/1) 9 days ago, always holding on. Carries penalty. Should give another good account. Ended a long losing run at Lingfield but this is tougher from wide draw under a penalty.
10th	5 10th (5) (11/2 +45%) Band Of Steel	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(5) Band Of Steel 11/2, Course winner. Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth of 10 to See You Boy in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 85/40) 9 days ago, never nearer. Can get involved if things drop right. 0-8 in handicaps but he's generally consistent and shouldn't be far away.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Visibility scored at Southwell last time out and he can go well carrying a 5lb penalty alongside See You Boy, who won at Lingfield nine days ago. Both could get involved, but they have to give weight to the lightly-raced SMOKY MOUNTAIN. A maiden winner over C&D earlier in the month on his first start since April, the son of Frankel makes his handicap debut now and may have a lot more to offer.

SMOKY MOUNTAIN wasn't hard pressed to open his account in a C&D maiden 18 days ago and, with improvement on the cards, he could have been let in lightly off a mark of 77. He's preferred to fellow last-time-out winners Just Janet and See You Boy.

The vote goes to SMOKY MOUNTAIN, who won by 4l in a C&D novice on his recent return and is open to more progress on his handicap debut.

Blinkers on 1st time. In the mix. Inconsistent 28-race maiden who has been well held in last three runs; no appeal.
9th	2 9th (2) (16/5 +47%) Diamondsinthesand	3.2 16/5(+47%)	(2) Diamondsinthesand 16/5, C&D winner in November. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly. Off the mark (21st attempt) when scoring over C&D last month but was well held here latest.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 -50%) College Wizard	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) College Wizard 18/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 16/1) 36 days ago. One for the shortlist. 0-11 but he's reached the frame in 7f handicaps in last two starts; not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INTOXICATA has been a model of consistency over the past couple of months and Ed Dunlop's filly appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Aussi Mandate is capable of better after finishing third at Kempton but the drop in trip might not see her in the best light. With that in mind, the main danger could prove to be Diamondsinthesand, who scored over C&D on his penultimate start.

A case can be made for a few of these but INTOXICATA is already a three-time winner in 2023 and signalled she is ready to go in again when a good Southwell second last time out. Diamondsinthesand is a fellow C&D scorer and feared most, although a solid case can also be made for in-form duo Blue Collar Lad and College Wizard.

Top of the list is INTOXICATA (nap) who has a record of 112322 since the end of October. Aussi Mandate is feared most.

Latest win at Kempton in October. 11/1, last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Difficult ask. Three wins this year but he was tailed off on Tapeta last time and has something to prove.
12th	6 12th (6) (100/1 -525%) Break Point	100 100/1(-525%)	(6) Break Point 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm), finding test too much.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

All three of TIGER BEETLE's victories have come at this track and the drop back in distance appears unlikely to inconvenience the five-year-old in his attempt for a third victory in five outings. Hale End ran with credit when third to the selection last month and is capable of another decent showing, while others for the shortlist include Cosmos Raj and Break Point.

HALE END is knocking on the door and can get back to winning ways eased 1 lb here having not enjoyed the rub of the green when third here last time. Tiger Beetle came out on top that day and rates the chief threat to Michael Dods's 3-y-o, with Wadacre Grace another who can have a say in an open contest.

This looks a bit trappy but the vote goes to five-time AW winner WADACRE GRACE, who made a bold bid over C&D 13 days ago.

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.
