1	9 1st (9) (0.5/1 +40%) My Gift To You		0.5 0.5/1(+40%)																															(9) My Gift To You 0.5/1, On first outing since leaving Paul Webber with tongue strap applied, he left previous form well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) last week. Switches to fences and major player, even from out of the weights. Impressive yard debut over hurdles (2m4f, good); just 4lb higher on chase debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (7.5/1 -15%) Sinister Minister		7.5 7.5/1(-15%)																															(6) Sinister Minister 7.5/1, Positive start to chase career when runner-up in a brace of C&D handicaps in June. Disappointing effort upped to 23f last time but expected to bounce back dropped in trip in a change of headgear. Placed over hurdles and fences at 2m4f but beaten a long way out on latest.
3	1 3rd (1) (50/1 -25%) Blackhillsofdakota		50 50/1(-25%)																															(1) Blackhillsofdakota 50/1, Heavy defeats both starts over fences for this yard in 2021 and, after a 20-month absence, he's offered little back over hurdles in recent weeks. Had chase form at 2m4f in Ireland in 2021; pulled up/well held over hurdles since absence.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -75%) Lonimoss Bareliere		14 14/1(-75%)																															(8) Lonimoss Bareliere 14/1, Remains a maiden after 22 runs but couple of runner-up efforts over 2m at Uttoxeter in recent weeks confirm he's competitive from his basement mark. Step back up in trip isn't an obvious move, though. In the frame several times at about 2m1f over hurdles/fences; stamina query at 2m4f.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 -6%) Can't Beat History		9 9/1(-6%)																															(4) Can't Beat History 9/1, Runner-up in an Irish bumper last spring and showed more than previously over hurdles switched to a handicap when head-second at Doncaster (19.4f) in February. Just a fair fourth at Uttoxeter when last seen in May and now goes chasing (fell sole point start). Fell late in sole Irish point; chance on best 2m4f hurdle form now tackling fences.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 -65%) Newtonian		33 33/1(-65%)																															(5) Newtonian 33/1, Fair form when placed in a brace of bumpers. Fifth on hurdles debut early last year but he's essentially disappointed since for Oliver Sherwood. Now goes chasing back from a break for new yard. Two hurdle falls last spring; minor handicap form for O Sherwood; chase debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 +33%) Scrappy Jack		22 22/1(+33%)																															(3) Scrappy Jack 22/1, Winner of back-to-back juvenile hurdles in 2021 but has struggled in handicaps since. Hopes rest on switch to fences prompting a revival. Stamina for this far also to prove. Both wins in 2m1f hurdles in 2021; low-level form since back from absence; chase debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 -45%) Lamanver Storm		8 8/1(-45%)																															(2) Lamanver Storm 8/1, Modest maiden jumper who was rather unfortunate to fall at the first at Hereford in November. Had a wind op after and found only one too good at Southwell a fortnight ago. Task is to now back that up. Very mixed over fences but more encouraging 2nd over 2m4f latest; thereabouts.
7	7 |PU| (7) (40/1 -60%) Prince Of Bad Lins		40 40/1(-60%)																															(7) Prince Of Bad Lins 40/1, Still looking for first win and little to get excited about both starts back in 2023. Mixes hurdles/chases; taken healthy weights drop; worth a go with this lesser stamina test.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

My Gift To You remains unexposed and makes his chasing debut following a facile win over hurdles. The retained booking of Harry Cobden must make James Owen's inmate of significant interest, but LAMANVER STORM shades the vote.The eight-year-old kept on for second over a similar distance at Southwell last time out and shaped as though he would improve, given that was his first run off a break. Lonimoss Bareliere completes the shortlist.

MY GIFT TO YOU made a mockery of his lowly opening mark starting out for a new yard at Southwell a week ago and, assuming he takes to fences, the follow up looks firmly on the cards. Sinister Minister is fancied to get back on track returned to this C&D, with Lonimoss Bareliere a threat if seeing this trip out.

This can go to MY GIFT TO YOU who was impressive on his debut for this yard over hurdles and has a lowly mark to exploit over fences.

1	3 1st (3) (1.5/1 +14%) Zoran		1.5 1.5/1(+14%)																															(3) Zoran 1.5/1, Modest maiden hurdler who made a solid start over fences when runner-up over C&D 47 days ago. Can go one better in a thin race. Placed over hurdles before finishing second on his switch to fences over C&D in June.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +11%) If I Say		4 4/1(+11%)																															(6) If I Say 4/1, Off the mark in handicap hurdle here in September. Mostly below form since but there was more encouragement on latest run over fences at Stratford. One to consider from handy mark. She threatened to drop herself out at Stratford before staying on again.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +50%) Ironhill		6 6/1(+50%)																															(7) Ironhill 6/1, Made winning start for Alastair Ralph in bumper last summer. Failed to kick on from that over obstacles and debut for this stable over fences here last time was tame. Probably on a fair mark and had a respiratory issue on recent stable debut (only 4-1).
4	1 4th (1) (8.5/1 -21%) Copper Fox		8.5 8.5/1(-21%)																															(1) Copper Fox 8.5/1, Fair winner over hurdles who matched that form on his first go over fences at Stratford in May. Has failed to build on that, however. Perhaps Cartmel didn't suit last time; had made a solid start over fences; up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -80%) Oval Street		18 18/1(-80%)																															(5) Oval Street 18/1, Multiple point winner who showed some ability remains when third on yard/hurdles debut in a Newton Abbot maiden (21.5f) last month. Needs to show benefit of that run now attentions switch back to chasing. Blinkers tried. Remote placing in a maiden hurdle latest; switches back to fences for handicap debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 +0%) Mawlood		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Mawlood 33/1, Losing run stretches back over 2 years and he failed to beat a rival at Stratford 16 days ago. Up against it from out of the weights. Without a win since 2021 and ran poorly at Stratford recently when tried in a visor.
7th	4 7th (4) (5.5/1 +45%) Barely Famous		5.5 5.5/1(+45%)																															(4) Barely Famous 5.5/1, Dual hurdles winner in the autumn but hasn't fired since joining this yard, only fourth of 6 in handicap chase over C&D last time. Others look more appealing. No closer than 19l in four starts for this yard, the last two over fences.
9	9 |PU| (9) (25/1 +24%) Hedgehopper		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) Hedgehopper 25/1, Maiden pointer who hasn't offered much over hurdles. May do better in this discipline, so not completely ruled out. Poor form and makes chase/handicap debut from 11lb out of the weights.

18:30 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

In a contest lacking depth, marginal preference is given to recent C&D runner-up ZORAN. Emma Lavelle's inmate has gone up 2lb for the aforementioned outing and is taken to get the better of Copper Fox, who was pulled up over an extended 2m1f at Cartmel last month. If I Say also warrants a market check following a distant third at Stratford.

ZORAN made a solid start to his chasing career when second over C&D last time and he's taken to go one better at the likely expense of If I Say, who was better than the result at Stratford last time. Oval Street is also worthy of consideration.

It could be that COPPER FOX didn't fancy the twists and turns of Cartmel last time having previously started well over fences.

1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +56%) Watergrange Jack		4 4/1(+56%)																															(5) Watergrange Jack 4/1, Opened his hurdles account at Ffos Las last June but in and out since, refusing to race once too. Others are more persuasive. Second at Ffos Las before going off a bit fast last time at Uttoxeter.
2	9 2nd (9) (5/1 +23%) Sea The Clouds		5 5/1(+23%)																															(9) Sea The Clouds 5/1, Fair 2m bumper/hurdles winner last season. 11/4, failed to build on reappearance when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle here (16f, good) 41 days ago. Up in trip with lots more required. Best form at 2m, though was quiet last time; moves up in trip with something to prove.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Astromachia		2.75 2.75/1(+17%)																															(1) Astromachia 2.75/1, Useful handicapper on Flat and already a dual hurdles winner. Posted another good effort when third of 8 in handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 30 days ago. Can go well again. Dual hurdle winner and latest third at Uttoxeter (2m4f) was encouraging.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 +20%) The Height Of Fame		4 4/1(+20%)																															(10) The Height Of Fame 4/1, Prolific winner last season who resumed from 5 months off with a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 25 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark. No match for the easy winner at Newton Abbot last month but that was after a lengthy break.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 -14%) Northern Bound		4 4/1(-14%)																															(4) Northern Bound 4/1, Three-time chase winner last season who comes here on the back of a creditable fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Market Rasen 39 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more back in this sphere. Has been running okay over fences and likely danger off this lower hurdle mark.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -211%) Baileys Derbyday		28 28/1(-211%)																															(6) Baileys Derbyday 28/1, Fair 14f winner on Flat who got off the mark over hurdles in 2m maiden here in June. Only seventh in novice here since though so needs to bounce back now going into handicaps. Maiden winner but poor otherwise over hurdles; this longer trip could bring him on.
7th	11 7th (11) (20/1 -122%) College Oak		20 20/1(-122%)																															(11) College Oak 20/1, Scored at Stratford (2m6f) in 2022 but off for 11 months since coming in last of 4 in handicap there. Has won off a break before though so can't be discounted off a handy-looking mark. Last year ended prematurely after two modest efforts in July/August.
8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 -25%) Esperti		50 50/1(-25%)																															(3) Esperti 50/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler in Ireland for Peter Fahey but he has failed to fire in two runs for his current yard, having a wind op before beating only one over C&D 12 days ago. Has something to prove. Poor in two runs for this yard on either side of wind surgery.
7	7 |F| (7) (20/1 +20%) Peace Of Rome		20 20/1(+20%)																															(7) Peace Of Rome 20/1, Fair in bumpers and showed similar form over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Changed hands for £31,000 but beat only one on yard debut in handicap hurdle here (16f, soft) 5 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do. He dropped out to be well beaten on last week's stable debut here; back up in trip.
8	8 |PU| (8) (125/1 -56%) Wee Willie Nail		125 125/1(-56%)																															(8) Wee Willie Nail 125/1, Won Gowran maiden on final start for Gordon Elliott in September but has failed to complete all 3 starts for new connections (pulled up on each occasion). Has plenty to prove. Has been pulled up in all three starts for this yard, the latest after a break.

19:05 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Northern Bound has been running with credit over fences recently and could play a leading role from a reduced hurdles mark, but preference is for THE HEIGHT OF FAME. She bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Newton Abbot last month, so the daughter of Fame And Glory might be worth chancing from an unchanged mark. Astromachia is also noted.

A case can be made for a few of these but THE HEIGHT OF FAME made a promising return when runner-up at Newton Abbot and is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. In-form top-weight Astromachia heads the list of dangers, with Jamie Snowden's pair College Oak and Sea The Clouds also in the mix.

Ben Pauling's NORTHERN BOUND is a much better chaser than hurdler but is rated accordingly and this isn't a strong handicap.

1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +78%) The Derry Girl		3.5 3.5/1(+78%)																															(8) The Derry Girl 3.5/1, Fair form in two bumpers for Peter Croke this summer, seventh of 13 at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Much respected now going over hurdles for her new yard. Whiff of ability in Wexford bumpers this summer; more to come starting out for good yard.
2	6 2nd (6) (1.62/1 +84%) Our Nel		1.62 1.62/1(+84%)																															(6) Our Nel 1.62/1, Fair form shown in bumpers, third of 9 at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) 76 days ago when doing too much too soon. Makes hurdles debut and she is very much one to consider for good yard. Promise in bumpers and she makes her hurdle debut with improvement on the cards.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Come On Du Berlais		2.25 2.25/1(+25%)																															(1) Come On Du Berlais 2.25/1, Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott last May. Good second in Cartmel novice hurdle on sole run for Fergal O'Brien in May. Tongue strap on 1st time and not ruled out for another new yard. Bumper winner for G Elliott; 2nd at Cartmel in May; new yard now; shortlist material.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 +91%) Quick Of The Night		9 9/1(+91%)																															(7) Quick Of The Night 9/1, 100/1, given a patient ride when running-on fifth of 11 in novice over C&D (good) on hurdles bow 27 days ago. Can take a step forward now so she's no forlorn hope. Little of note in bumpers and RPR of just 80 on her hurdle debut over C&D last month.
5th	9 5th (9) (28/1 +30%) Time For Joy		28 28/1(+30%)																															(9) Time For Joy 28/1, A winning pointer but she has offered little in two runs over hurdles this summer. Tongue strap goes on for 1st time with lots to do. Irish point win in May; modest form in two hurdle runs; handicaps beckon; now tongue-tied.
6th	10 6th (10) (150/1 +0%) Feryl Beryl		150 150/1(+0%)																															(10) Feryl Beryl 150/1, No impact in 2 starts in bumpers and over hurdles, hood/cheekpieces on when C&D ninth on latter occasion. Others are much preferred. Impossible to recommend on what we've seen from her so far.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 +67%) Moirai		33 33/1(+67%)																															(11) Moirai 33/1, Little show in three runs over hurdles, cheekpieces on when remote fourth of 7 in novice at Fakenham (20f, good) 84 days ago. Hard to warm to. Poor form in three hurdle runs this year; BHA-rated just 76 and up against it once more.
8th	12 8th (12) (22/1 -120%) Princess Unique		22 22/1(-120%)																															(12) Princess Unique 22/1, 28/1 and hooded for 1st time, best run in bumpers when third of 5 at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with more required. Low-level form in bumpers and the switch to hurdles needs to spark major progress.
9th	2 9th (2) (150/1 +0%) Etoile Brillante		150 150/1(+0%)																															(2) Etoile Brillante 150/1, No sign of ability in 3 bumpers and well held on both starts over hurdles too following a wind op . Has lots to find. Nothing in three bumpers or two hurdle runs to suggest she'd be winning here.

19:40 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MILITARY TWO STEP won off a mark of 82 on the Flat last month, having achieved a peak rating of 90 previously. Recruited by the James Owen team later that month, she ought to mount a serious challenge if taking to this new discipline. She shades preference over Hard As Nails, who made a pleasing start when third, albeit well beaten, at Cartmel on her hurdling bow. Others to note include Our Nel and Come On Du Berlais.

HARD AS NAILS made an encouraging start in this sphere when third at Cartmel so is fancied to build on it and add to her two bumper successes. Hurdling newcomers Our Nel and Military Two Step both bring potential so appeal as the duo to give Fergal O'Brien's mare most to do and can chase her home in that order.

Hard As Nails may be the pick of those with hurdling experience but MILITARY TWO STEP is useful on the Flat and she gets the vote.

1	2 1st (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Forget The Way		2.25 2.25/1(+18%)																															(2) Forget The Way 2.25/1, Fair form shown over hurdles and only found one too good at Stratford 56 days ago. Up 3 lb but a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better. 0-8 but he has been threatening, notably a close second at Southwell last time; contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -50%) Izayte		3 3/1(-50%)																															(1) Izayte 3/1, Winner in hurdle at Warwick in May. Creditable second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good, 11/8) 54 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Warwick winner in May and ran better when second in June; leading claims at this level.
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Painless Potter		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(3) Painless Potter 4.5/1, Flat winner last summer who has run to a similar level over hurdles on a couple of occasions. Bit better than the result when fifth at Stratford 16 days ago and he can get involved. Two 2nds over C&D this summer; this is weaker than last time & he's one for the shortlist.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 +55%) Grinn		18 18/1(+55%)																															(7) Grinn 18/1, Long-standing maiden who has a fair bit to prove on her first outing since leaving David O'Brien. 0-31 in Ireland; out of form in three runs this summer; risky on stable debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Cumhacht		7.5 7.5/1(+6%)																															(4) Cumhacht 7.5/1, Modest hurdler who was back to form when third at Newton Abbot 9 days ago. Still relatively lightly raced and may do better if the race doesn't come too soon. Has the ability to win races but hasn't managed to get it done yet; place claims once more.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -150%) Melnik		25 25/1(-150%)																															(5) Melnik 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden in Ireland, down the field at Downpatrick on latest outing. Hard to fancy unless the market speaks in his favour. Fair Flat ability but hurdle form unconvincing; tongue-tie back for stable debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 +0%) Tika Moon		80 80/1(+0%)																															(8) Tika Moon 80/1, Limited impact in bumpers/novice hurdles for Paul Webber and has fared no better for this yard. 100-1 and well beaten on recent handicap debut; now tried in blinkers.
6	6 |U| (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Choirmaster		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Choirmaster 4.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat and a wind op/tongue tie has helped his finishing effort on last two outings, third over C&D last time. Should give another good account. Placed in three handicaps this summer, latterly behind an improver over C&D; in the mix.

20:10 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

IZAYTE wasn't beaten far over this trip at Uttoxeter last time and, while this is a slight step up in class, he can gain compensation as the competition doesn't look much deeper. Neil King's gelding possibly paid the price for cutting out the running on that occasion, yet still deserves credit for a very game effort. Forget The Way is feared most on his third start after returning from wind surgery, although Choirmaster is another fancied to go well.

FORGET THE WAY improved when second at Southwell last time and, with few miles on the clock, he's fancied to open his account. The in-form Izayte is a clear threat and Cumhacht is likely to be on the premises.

Several frustrating possibles but IZAYTE (nap) has managed to put his head in front in a handicap and he can do so again.

1	2 1st (2) (7.5/1 +38%) Dynamic Kate		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(2) Dynamic Kate 7.5/1, Scored a couple of times at Fontwell last autumn and made a promising reappearance at Ludlow in May. Failed to build on that but she's not one to write off. Ran well in May, after a layoff, but well beaten since; has a point to prove.
2	7 2nd (7) (1.2/1 +13%) Rubys Reward		1.2 1.2/1(+13%)																															(7) Rubys Reward 1.2/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 9/1) 22 days ago, soon clear. Had plenty in hand and form is backed up by the time, so worth a chance to follow up in a first-time hood. Come from off the pace to win quite stylishly over C&D last month; Cobden booked again.
3	11 3rd (11) (28/1 -40%) Tre A Peni		28 28/1(-40%)																															(11) Tre A Peni 28/1, Hard to rely on and arrives on the back of a poor run at Uttoxeter 40 days ago. Headgear switched up again but he's up against it from out of the weights. Third twice in May but latest run was disappointing and she's 9lb out of the weights here.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -23%) Valentine Getaway		8 8/1(-23%)																															(6) Valentine Getaway 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course a couple of months ago. May yet do better on just her third handicap outing. Safely held in first two handicaps but her C&D fifth in May was more encouraging.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 -83%) Janeslittlevoice		33 33/1(-83%)																															(8) Janeslittlevoice 33/1, Hasn't shown much form since 2020 and looks set for another struggle. In process of running well on stable debut until saddle slipped; interesting.
6th	9 6th (9) (20/1 +9%) Trickalight		20 20/1(+9%)																															(9) Trickalight 20/1, Irish point winner but remains with little form over hurdles. Likely to struggle again. Didn't run badly over C&D last month but is 5lb wrong today and needs to improve.
7th	4 7th (4) (6.5/1 +13%) Sheila Nash		6.5 6.5/1(+13%)																															(4) Sheila Nash 6.5/1, Won twice over C&D last summer for Harry Whittington and back on track when third here 22 days ago. Has become well treated and shouldn't be dismissed. Dual C&D winner last summer and back in good form when third over C&D last month.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 -11%) Symbolic Spirit		10 10/1(-11%)																															(3) Symbolic Spirit 10/1, Runner-up on Southwell handicap hurdle debut in November and back on track when sixth at Ludlow 3 months ago. Can compete if the blinkers perk him up. 0-7 over hurdles but ran well when close sixth over 2m5f in April; could have a say.
9th	12 9th (12) (100/1 +0%) The Swede		100 100/1(+0%)																															(12) The Swede 100/1, No sign of ability over hurdles to date. Best watched on handicap debut. Well beaten at triple-digit odds in four novice hurdles; 26lb wrong for handicap debut.
1	1 |F| (1) (7.5/1 -36%) Cluain Aodha		7.5 7.5/1(-36%)																															(1) Cluain Aodha 7.5/1, Got off the mark at Warwick in March and not disgraced in form terms on both subsequent runs, fourth of 6 at Uttoxeter on latest. Worth considering down in grade. Hasn't kicked on from her 2m3f success in March; needs to up her game.
10th	5 10th (5) (20/1 -67%) Fenney Brook		20 20/1(-67%)																															(5) Fenney Brook 20/1, Thrived latterly last year, forging clear to make it 2 wins from last 3 starts in mares' novice handicap at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Hasn't looked in the same form this term, though. Triple winner in 2022; may yet progress again but is yet to strike form this year.
11th	10 11th (10) (40/1 -21%) Blitz Spirit		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Blitz Spirit 40/1, Fair performer on the Flat in France but she has yet to make a meaningful impact in this sphere, so she's hard to make a case for. Safely held over 2m4f here 12 days ago; tries a new trip today; 5lb out of the weights.

20:45 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

RUBYS REWARD had plenty in hand when she won over C&D last month and is fancied to be hard to beat, despite a 7lb higher mark. If anything, this looks an easier assignment for Debra Hamer's mare and it would come as no surprise to see her take the challenge in her stride. Valentine Getaway and Cluain Aodha are others with the ability to make the frame at least.

RUBYS REWARD found improvement to score in ready fashion over C&D 22 days ago and she makes most appeal in the follow-up bid. Cluain Aodha is a danger back from a short break and Dynamic Kate can't be ruled out.

Dual C&D winner SHEILA NASH returned to form with a good effort here last month and remains on a good 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.

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.
