Interesting take here, when there is a big clamour for Horseracing in the UK to go the other way🤔 One thing that sets KD apart is so many more Owners/Trainers/Jockeys/Breeders are in with a chance to run each year. It creates much more interest than the same 3 or 4 O/T/J winning

Delighted to add this Advertise filly to our 2yo team for 2024, she’s in training with Stuart Williams.

She’s out of a Kodiac mare who was 3rd in the Prix D’Arenberg and is a family that Stuart knows well.

Seeing this referred to in Japan as the 'Hand of God' moment - as big in Japan as Maradona's handball was in the UK!

The Great Egg Race was one of my fav shows on TV in the 70's

Jesus that card at Wolverhampton on Monday.

Last race 9pm being run for £2,983 to the winner.

Top prize money on the card, £3,968 in the novice.

Trainers should be boycotting these cards, I’m sorry.

Neil Tolson Lydia Hislop Stuart Andrew Lucy Frazer Department for Culture, Media and Sport The idea of using to levy to make up for reduction due to affordability checks is bizarre. Trying to take a bigger piece of a cake in terminal decline will never work.

Neil Tolson Lydia Hislop Stuart Andrew Lucy Frazer They did a back of the envelope impact assessment in the white paper.

Reckoned checks would cost racing £8.4m-£14.9m a year. Plan was to use levy board reserves, up the levy rate and include overseas racing to plug the gap.

Unfortunately looks like massive underestimate.

🚨Lir Speciale UPDATE 🚨

Stuart Williams has provided a video update on the progress of the Racing TV Syndicate horse, Lir Speciale, who is close to making his seasonal return.

😎 “We’re getting there and he should be ready to run in a couple of weeks”

Stuart Williams is pleased with the progress of LIR SPECIALE - owned in partnership with Racing TV - and the four-time winner’s first run for us could be at the start of next month! 👀

It's 10:08 and you can't find out what the going is at Sandown!

Turftrax (should be the goto place) is only showing information from 08:55 yesterday: Going is Good, Good to Soft in places on the round course. Stick 6.7 for both.

The BHA Updates site at 07:35 today: Good, Good…

Did you know? With a history of over 350
yrs, and playing host to the first ever horserace
under written rules, the Newmarket Gallops sit at the
very heart of horseracing. 🏇

Spanning 2,500 acres, they are used by over 3,000 horses and 80 trainers every day!

“Is it one rule for the big yards and another for the small’uns?”
A very good question posed by ⁦Jack Keene⁩ in ⁦Sun Racing⁩. There’s certainly a lack of consistency in the application of the rules and that leads to anxiety for participants and a loss of faith.

Today we were able to say a special farewell to a very special person. There will also be a remembrance mass & celebration of life for Stefano on the 28th April at Saint Etheldreda Church in Newmarket ❤️
