Thank you very much to those clients who emailed following Pellitory's victory in the Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday - plenty of you were on at fancy prices.

I am delighted for his owner Evan Sutherland who is unable to go racing as much as he used to - Evan won the r...

Patiently ridden ...

Aidan O'Brien's filly was beaten in two of her first three races, includi...

Both Forbidden Fire and Rock Montreal were highlighted as juveniles to follow in the York Ebor Update and the pair dominated the finish. It was the impeccably bred Andrew Balding trained filly who came out on top by a head having hit the front over two furlongs out. Oisin Murphy's ...
The unbeaten Musical Times provided the highlight on day one of the St Leger Festival at Doncaster on Thursday. Godolphin's filly had won twice over seven furlongs at Newmarket and Yarmouth during the summer. Off the track for 70 days, the daughter of Lope De Vega relished the step up to a mile in the Group 2 May Hill Stakes annihilating ten opponents by upwards of seven and a half lengths. Charli...

I contacted Jamie Snowden on Mond...

However, the Francis-Henri Graffard trained three year old met trouble in running and finished on the bridle in a close third. Des...

William Haggas and his team have done a superb job bringing...
