COLD HEARTED made a pleasing debut when third to Sparkling Sea and Fairy Godmother over a similar trip at Naas last month. The form of that race has been working out well since and the Jessica Harrington yard continues in great form. Heavens Gate is an obvious threat having also shaped well on debut when runner-up to the well-backed Unexpected Issues at Navan, while Queens Fury and Twinkling Toes also made promising debuts. And So To Bed is a Kodiac half-sister to three juvenile winners from a stable with a good line on juvenile form, while Grande Marques is by Starspangledbanner and from a family which connections have enjoyed plenty of success with.

This maiden has been won by some smart types over the years and COLD HEARTED is taken to add her name to the roll of honour before going on to better things herself. The two that beat her at Naas last month subsequently fought out the finish of a Group 3 contest, so the form looks strong. Heavens Gate shaped like a ready-made future winner when going down narrowly on her introduction at Navan and she is feared most ahead of Queens Fury and newcomer And So To Bed.

This could be a good chance for COLD HEARTED who chased home two well bred sorts who finished 1-2 in a Group 3 subsequently

MISS MAVERICK made every yard of the running to complete a double over track and trip last time and he now has a 10lb penalty to carry. Gary Hanmer's seven-year-old is rapidly improving and he gets the nod, with his main danger possibly being Yesanna, who failed to fire on her bumper debut at Southwell earlier in the month but she could prove a different proposition over hurdles. Dameofthecotswolds completes the shortlist.

DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS has been banging at the door, and, getting weight from her 5 rivals, this looks a good opportunity for Nigel Twiston-Davies' 4-y-o to open her account back in novice company and upped to 2½m for the first time. Miss Maverick arrives chasing a hat-trick, but she may have to settle for silver carrying a double penalty, with hurdling-debutante Yesanna rounding off the shortlist.

Miss Maverick bids for three wins in a row at Uttoxeter and has proved her stamina, but she has to give DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS 18lb.
Class & Speed Card

Asian Daze gained a third career win when making an impressive reappearance over 7f here earlier this month, beating SLUICE by three and a half lengths. However, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly could be suited by the combination of moving up to a mile and this sounder surface, so may reverse the form on 10lb better terms. Flight Of Fancy takes a drop in class after her fourth in a Naas Group 3 and the step back in trip could suit, while Zaynab showed a smart turn of foot to snatch a 7f maiden here last month. Evening Blossom and September Leaves are two to consider on their handicap debut with useful claimers booked.

The pick of several promising fillies is SHELAKA, who shaped well when chasing home a useful type on her reappearance at Gowran and the return to this trip/switch to handicap company can help unlock improvement. Conversely, Flight of Fancy drops back in trip after contesting a 10.4f listed race at Naas and she is second choice off what looks a fair opening mark. Evening Blossom also merits respect, along with Asian Daze and Sluice, who were the first two home in a handicap here 20 days ago.

SLUICE shaped like she would relish a mile when second here earlier this month and she should have plenty more to give this season
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up to a smart sort of Willie Mullins' at Ludlow, who went on to score at the Punchestown Festival, BLUEBERRY WINE sets the standard on what is his sixth start over the smaller obstacles. A progressive sort over fences last summer, the eight-year-old is preferred to hurdling newcomer Someone You Loved, who was a capable sort on the level in Germany for previous connections. Geordies Dream and Ravenscraig Castle are noted too.

BLUEBERRY WINE looked back on song after a break when second in a similar event at Ludlow on his belated return to hurdles last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Someone You Loved has some decent form on the Flat in Germany so is a potential danger starting out for Fergal O'Brien, with Geordies Dream another to consider.

Five-time chase winner BLUEBERRY WINE, who bumped into a useful one when second last time, is taken to get off the mark over hurdles.
Class & Speed Card

LADY MENDOZA (also engaged to run at Cartmel on Saturday) occupied the runner-up spot in a class 4 event over 2m4f at Musselburgh in November last year and she makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower rating. Rebecca Menzies' mare looks well placed to go one better, with her main danger likely to be Native Moon, who could take a step forward on his handicap debut after hitting the frame at Hereford last month. Of the remainder, Release The Kraken makes the most appeal under Sean Bowen.

LADY MENDOZA made a promising return from a break when second to an improver at Musselburgh in November and, with more still to offer as a stayer, she looks to hold leading claims if taking up this engagement. My Monty produced one of his better efforts when fourth at Warwick 15 days ago and is next on the list, ahead of handicap-debutant Native Moon.

With Lady Mendoza due to run yesterday, the vote in this unconvincing field goes instead to MY MONTY ahead of Native Moon.
Class & Speed Card

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and ROGUE MILLENNIUM may prove the pick of his trio. The Dubawi mare seems best suited by a mile and good ground, having won the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last year and also filling the runner-up spot behind Tahiyra in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown, before being sold out of Tom Clover's yard for 1,650,000 guineas in December. Goldana had Villanova Queen five lengths behind when just touched off at Gowran last time, while Gregarina got up on the line to pip You Send Me by a head in the Group 3 Athasi Stakes over 7f here earlier this month.

All being well ROGUE MILLENNIUM should prove too strong for her eight rivals. She contested Group 1s after landing the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer and may well kick on again this year now with Joseph O'Brien. Gregarina, one of two fellow representatives from the same yard, could be the one for the forecast, while Ocean Jewel and Orchid Bloom are other plausible candidates for minor honours.

Joseph O'Brien's 2024 recruit ROGUE MILLENNIUM (nap) sets a high standard based on her Royal Ascot win and Matron Stakes second
Class & Speed Card

FINE MARGIN sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 128 after finishing midfield in a Premier Handicap at Aintree last month. Willie Mullins' seven-year-old takes a drop in trip, which shouldn't pose him any problems, and he looks difficult to oppose. Oval Street produced a much better effort when finishing second over 2m at Plumpton last time and he looks the main danger, while Bless The Moon can prove best of the rest.

This looks no more than a formality for FINE MARGIN, who sets the standard and is fully expected to open his account. Bless The Moon is the likeliest winner if the favourite underperforms.

It's hard to oppose Willie Mullins' FINE MARGIN. Oval Street can beat Bless The Moon for the runner-up spot.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied over further here earlier in the month, EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE should be suited by dropping in distance slightly and he can strike for his in-form connections off his last winning mark. Success may come at the main expense of the hat-trick seeking Five Dollar Fine, who will need to prove himself over this trip after wins over 2m the last twice. Runner-up here on his penultimate start in March, Go Boy is another to consider.

FIVE DOLLAR FINE arrives in the form of his life, so Ann Hamilton's 9-y-o is fancied to defy another rise in the weights and complete the hat-trick at the expense of Everyday Champagne, who went down narrowly at this venue earlier in the month and should be bang there from an unchanged mark. Grand Voyage ran a cracker when runner-up on his penultimate start over C&D and he can edge out Go Boy for third spot.

Five Dollar Fine has to catch the eye but this is a marked step back up in trip and EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE looks a potent alternative.
Class & Speed Card

BIG BLUE MOON accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length in this grade at Hereford earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 4lb for that triumph. Tom Lacey's seven-year-old could still be improving and he can complete the hat-trick. The main threat might be Touchy Feely, who finished fourth at this level at Aintree last time and she could get into contention off a 1lb lower mark, while McGowan's Pass hit the frame at Southwell on his latest outing and he also has to be respected.

BIG BLUE MOON has got back on the up with victories on his last 2 starts, jumping better switched to front-running tactics at Hereford 19 days ago, and he can continue his progress to land the hat-trick. Clondaw Royale was in the process of running well when falling late on at Warwick and could be the main danger, with Fourofakind also in the mix.

The top four are all considered for win purposes, with narrow preference for BIG BLUE MOON ahead of Fourofakind.
Class & Speed Card

WHITE BIRCH must turn around the Epsom and Irish Derby form with Auguste Rodin but has had a better preparation. Ground-versatile, he was beaten a little over five lengths by Auguste Rodin in the Derby and, while disappointing in the Irish version, he's looked better than ever this year. Auguste Rodin flopped for a third time in March's Sheema Classic and while two of those disappointments were on seasonal reappearances, he also failed in the King George last July. This race has been his target since Meydan and, while better can be expected, he needs his best to beat the selection in his current mood. Lumiere Rock finished third in October's Prix de l'Opera and is noted along with Elegant Man.

If AUGUSTE RODIN is on one of his going days he'll be hard to stop. Elegant Man jumps from a handicap to a Group 1 but it was some performance from him to defy a mark of 108 at Newcastle on Good Friday and he's feared more than White Birch, a winner of 2 pattern events over C&D already this season.

It is worth opposing the enigmatic Auguste Rodin with the Derby third WHITE BIRCH who has impressed with two Pattern wins this term
Class & Speed Card

Call Off The Dogs showed his quirks when whipping round at the start before scoring in decisive fashion over 2m2f here earlier in the month and he should put in a bold show off 6lb higher. However, the vote goes to MISTER UPTON, who made the perfect start to life over fences when scoring by over eight lengths over C&D last time. The five-year-old is only 8lb higher for that success and he could prove very hard to beat, while Shaw's Cross is another to consider.

MISTER UPTON is clearly much more at home in this sphere than he had been over hurdles given the manner of his ready chase-debut win over C&D 18 days ago and he can defy an 8 lb rise. Call Off The Dogs has gradually recaptured his best after an absence and rates the main threat ahead of Hidalgo des Bordes, who had excuses last time.

This can go to MISTER UPTON who put up a taking performance on his chase debut over C&D 18 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

It is difficult to look past MACK THE MAN, who continues to go from strength to strength and an 8lb rise for his most recent success at Perth could prove lenient as he looks to make it three wins from his last four starts. Well Educated bounced back to winning ways with a determined performance over further at Hexham and he is likely to be thereabouts again, along with the capable Jungle Jack.

MACK THE MAN has thrived in a visor lately and had something to spare when scoring at Perth recently, so he's taken to go in again at the possible expense of Mister Moodles, who should get back on track after a break. Well Educated also merits consideration.

The one who makes most appeal is Doncaster novice winner, MISTER MOODLES who has ideal conditions for his handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

A comfortable winner of a valuable mares' handicap at Cheltenham last time out, MALAITA should have plenty more to come despite a 7lb rise as she looks to land the hat-trick. Conditions should be in her favour and Mel Rowley's charge may have too much for Chepstow scorer Sageburg County, as well as Eaton Collina, who has also won his last two in this sphere. Hystery Bere and Mylesfromwicklow cannot be ruled out either.

This looks wide open with the vote going to NUMITOR, who remains on a workable mark and had excuses last time. Likeable pair Eaton Collina and Malaita head the dangers.

The feature race can go to bang-in-form mare MALAITA (nap), who kept on readily to collect a good prize at Cheltenham last month.
Class & Speed Card

OPERA SINGER was a top juvenile last year and while she missed the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket having met with a setback, it is encouraging she contests this Classic. By City Of Troy's sire Justify, she has her first run as a three-year-old and meets high-class, race-fit rivals, although she did win the Prix Marcel Boussac by five lengths last October and looks up to the task. Vespertilio finished a close third in the French equivalent and while she has proven recent form, she would probably prefer some cut in the ground. She was beaten by Fallen Angel here last September, but the UK raider does need to improve on her Newmarket exploits.

The manner in which OPERA SINGER demolished her field in the Marcel Boussac marks her down as a potential top notcher and she can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eleventh success in this race. Moyglare winner Fallen Angel can bounce back from a slightly disappointing run in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow British raider Skellet.

Third in the French 1,000 Guineas third VESPERTILIO gets the vote to reverse last season's Moyglare running with Fallen Angel
Class & Speed Card

MIDNIGHT GOLD finished eight lengths clear of the third when runner-up in a class 5 event at Warwick on her latest outing and she is only 1lb higher for that performance. Neil Mulholland's seven-year-old remains fairly unexposed for her age and she could be ready to strike under Harry Cobden. The main danger might be Stowaway Jess, who makes her handicap debut after finishing a well-held fourth at Southwell last month and she could take a step forward. Of the remainder, Illogical Logic makes the most appeal.

MIDNIGHT GOLD is going the right way and a tongue strap may eke out further improvement, so she's preferred to Stowaway Jess, whose bumper form gives her some scope for better now handicapping. Ballyfinn is another interesting handicap debutant.

Preference is for MIDNIGHT GOLD (nap) who won in good style at Southwell last summer and finished second on her recent Warwick return.
Class & Speed Card

Although MISTRAL NELL was no match for an improver at Hereford, that was a creditable effort on her first attempt over 3m plus. Fergal O'Brien's mare could find further progress and she holds every chance of going one better off 1lb lower. Somebody's Fortune struggled in novice/maiden company, but it would come as no surprise were she to improve now pitched into handicaps. Melusine De Pail is nothing if not consistent and she's unlikely to be far away.

MISTRAL NELL arrives on the back of a solid showing at Hereford and there's potential for better from her as a stayer, so she's preferred to handicap debutante Somebody's Fortune. Bright Sunbird is also of interest on her second start for her current stable.

With cheekpieces refitted and Tabitha Worsley back in the saddle, BRIGHT SUNBIRD (nap) can build upon her encouraging stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of the unexposed NEXT LEFT, who did it well when scoring comfortably on his chase debut at Warwick earlier in the month. A 5lb rise for that victory looks manageable and the step up in trip can bring about further improvement as he looks to get the better off C&D winner Higgs, who arrives on a hat-trick. Johnny B can have a say in proceedings as well.

NEXT LEFT was heavily backed when scoring at Warwick last time and probably has even more to offer for this stable, so he gets the nod over Higgs, who arrives on a roll. Cokytho is another one to consider.

Resurgent veteran HIGGS is thriving at the moment and might complete a quick hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

SPOKEN TRUTH won the same Cork maiden that Dermot Weld's dual Derby winner Harzand landed in 2016. Those behind him at Cork haven't boosted the form but the son of Frankel remains a colt of some promise and his trainer believes he will improve for better ground. Aidan O'Brien runs three and Ryan Moore has plumped for Mundi. The brother to Churchill won a Dundalk maiden over a mile on debut but doesn't hold any notable entries in the coming months. Stablemate Chief Little Rock, twice runner-up in Group races last term, is highest-rated and ran well when third in a Listed contest at Epsom on his reappearance. Norwalk Havoc's pedigree suggests he may improve for this longer trip.

It looks significant that Ryan Moore has opted to ride MUNDI ahead of Chief Little Rock, who is a proven Group-class performer. Indeed, Mundi looked very promising indeed when landing a Dundalk maiden on debut last month and this superbly-bred colt possesses stacks of potential. Spoken Truth is also promising and he is third choice, albeit only marginally as there's another promising Ballydoyle colt on show in The Equator, while Norwalk Havoc and Stromberg are no back numbers either.

Moore is on Mundi but Wayne Lordan's mount CHIEF LITTLE ROCK was a good juvenile may not have done himself justice at Epsom
Class & Speed Card

Having returned to form with a staying-on third over an extended 2m5f at Taunton last month, DOCTOR FOLEY makes plenty of appeal returning to the C&D of his last success. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is taken to gain a career third victory, possibly at the main expense of William Ewart. The son of Sageburg lost little in defeat when hitting the frame in a 15-runner affair at Warwick in late April and a similar performance is sure to see him involved. He'llstopatthetop may chase the pair home.

DOCTOR FOLEY looked back on song when third at Taunton last month and can resume winning ways with the return to this longer distance in his favour. William Ewart arrives on the back of a decent third in a big field at Warwick and is next best.

The vote goes to C&D winner DOCTOR FOLEY who looked to be on the way back when third over an inadequte trip at Taunton last month.
Class & Speed Card

Better was clearly expected of Jeteye, who failed to make an impact on his chasing bow 12 days ago having been sent off as favourite. The Jet Away gelding was said to have been unsuited by easing ground conditions, though, so it will be interesting to see if his supporters return on a potentially quicker surface. GOODTIMES BADTIMES was a mixed bag over hurdles, but chasing ought to be more his thing and it is Sandy Thomson's charge who is taken to make a successful fencing debut. Toucan Sam heads the remainder.

TOUCAN SAM arrives in form and might prove the answer to this trappy-looking affair. Jeteye has a bit of a mixed record but his hurdle second last month shows he's capable from his mark and it wouldn't be any surprise were he to bounce straight back from his subsequent no show on chase debut. Goodtimes Badtimes is third choice.

He needs to brush up his jumping but BARON BRIGGS is given a tentative vote in this modest race. Jeteye is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

Having finished third over an extended 2m3f on his stable bow at Huntingdon earlier this month, Forget The Way must enter calculations returning to 2m. However, KADO DE JOIE's third-placed effort in a similar contest at Warwick could prove to be the stronger form. Nicky Henderson's gelding edges the vote and a second career victory likely beckons. Homme D'Un Soir was behind the selection in fourth that day and the eight-year-old is also noted.

KADO DE JOIE shaped well from an unpromising position when third at Warwick last time and there's more to come from him as a hurdler, so he takes preference over Forget The Way, who made a solid start for this stable at Huntingdon. The Grey Falco is also worth a mention on debut for a new yard.

Still on a workable mark after his pleasing stable debut, FORGET THE WAY could be hard to beat if that outing has brought him on.
Class & Speed Card

SIDIZA, a half-sister to a 1m4f winner from the family of Sinndar, has obviously shown promise in her homework as she holds an entry in the Group 3 Munster Oaks at Cork next month and Dermot Weld's daughter of Sea The Stars can make a winning debut. Ryan Moore sets a poser by riding Lily Hart, unfancied when down the field at Dundalk on her sole outing at two, as opposed to North Africa who was green when showing mild promise at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. The latter holds the same Group 3 entry as the selection, and so too does claimer-ridden Pink Orchid who is a third runner for Ballydoyle. Gowran fourth Hanalia may improve for better ground.

Though passed over by Ryan Moore, NORTH AFRICA is nevertheless appealing on the back of her encouraging introduction at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Moore's pick Lily Hart was never in the hunt on her sole 2-y-o start at Dundalk but she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time. Hanalia should build on her debut promise, while newcomers Cathedral Peak and Sidiza both need a close look in the betting.

NORTH AFRICA shades the vote with a recent run under her belt. That was an encouraging enough start, a 5th in an above average maiden
Class & Speed Card

SANDY BROOK justified strong support in the market when scooting clear of his rivals at Plumpton a fortnight ago. A 7lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable and the nine-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up. The biggest threat may emerge from the Neil Mulholland-trained Celtic Fortune, who could improve for the rise in distance, while Danzini is entitled to build on last month's reappearance sixth at Taunton.

The booking of Harry Cobden for CELTIC FORTUNE catches the eye and he can bounce back to form and take advantage of his reduced mark. Recent Plumpton scorer Sandy Brook is the obvious danger.

Although flattered by the winning margin, SANDY BROOK still won with some authority at Plumpton a fortnight ago and can follow up.
Class & Speed Card

SHANROE STREET gets a confident vote. The veteran 14-year-old could only manage second in this last year, but he warmed up with a comfortable win at Perth 11 days ago and is potentially in better shape this time around. Yippee Ki Yay was a creditable second at Cheltenham last time out and he can go well, likewise Bothwell Bridge in a first-time tongue-tie.

YIPPEE KI YAY has made a promising start to his hunter career this spring and can see off this older opposition. Last year's winner Slievegar can follow him home ahead of Bothwell Bridge, prolific in points since joining Kelly Morgan, and in-form veteran Shanroe Street.

Progressive YIPPEE KI YAY has improved since hunter chasing and he is taken to beat the in-form pointer Bothwell Bridge.
Class & Speed Card

The hat-trick seeking If Karl's Berg Did was heading in the right direction last summer and he warrants respect racing off only 4lb higher in the ratings. Preference, however, is for fellow last-time-out winner MR HOPE STREET. A rise in distance unlocked significant improvement in Dan Skelton's charge and his revised mark may not be the ceiling of his ability. Ushuaia Dancer and Asa are also noted.

A few in with a squeak but MR HOPE STREET looked a totally different proposition upped in trip when getting off the mark at Market Rasen last month and with further improvement on the cards, Dan Skelton's charge can defy a 7 lb rise at the expense of Asa, who was very well backed and went down by just a short-head at that same course on Thursday. Getaway With You has joined an up-and-coming yard and he gets the vote for third.

This can go to MR HOPE STREET who shaped as though he has more to offer when off the mark at Market Rasen last month.
Class & Speed Card

Fourth in the Fred Winter, HARSH has risen to a hurdles mark of 128 after winning a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival and looks nicely treated on the level. He's had only five starts in this discipline and is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip. Bay Of Sanibel is a proven stayer and is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Navan. She was value for more than the winning margin and, like the selection, is open to more improvement. Bumper winner The Mediator showed promise in Flat maidens last year and has a massive pull at the weights with Bay Of Sanibel compared to a clash at Navan in October.

BAY OF SANIBEL stuck to her task well when scoring at Navan recently and a 4 lb rise looks very fair indeed. She is taken to see off Harsh and The Mediator, both of whom are open to improvement. Bold Approach took a step back in the right direction at Leopardstown and he is also accorded respect, along with Valleyoftheeagles.

This can go the way of the unexposed BAY OF SANIBEL who has won 2 of her last 3 and a 4lb rise for her latest success looks lenient
Class & Speed Card

Although failing to follow up when runner-up at Ludlow earlier in May, CAWTHORNE BANKER lost little in defeat on that occasion. The Flemensfirth gelding should find a 1lb higher mark workable and compensation could beckon. Happy Boy posted a respectable fifth at Uttoxeter recently and he may find that this sharper course suits better if adopting similar front-running tactics. Chris Gordon's charge is feared most, ahead of Sarsen, who could bounce back to form in first-time blinkers.

CAWTHORNE BANKER went close at Ludlow recently despite things not going his way and can show he's still on a good mark. Happy Boy is next best ahead of Baikal.

The vote goes to CAWTHORNE BANKER who won well at Kempton and may have been unfortunate not to follow up at Ludlow.
Class & Speed Card

Gale Mahler was on target at Southwell earlier this month and she is a leading contender, although the daughter of Mahler might struggle to concede 7lb to BEAU DELLA. Iain Jardine's mare hit the front going easily at Hexham 15 days ago, before fading into second, and any further improvement can see her go one better. Lewesdon Dancer, a half-sister to two winners including bumper scorer Quest For Life, warrants a betting check ahead of her racecourse bow.

GALE MAHLER did it comfortably at Southwell and can defy a penalty. Beau Della has one of these in her and is feared, while Bellmount Lady is a newcomer to note.

Preference is for BEAU DELLA, who swept to the front and looked the likely winner before succumbing to a strong finisher at Hexham.

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.
