If anyone is in any doubt as to how informative stable interviews are, my visit to Roger Varian's yard in February is a prime example. Despite only beating one rival in the Haynes, Hanson & Clark Conditions Stakes at Newbury in September, Michael Jarvis' former assistant was adamant that Kokbastau (9/2) was a very good colt describing him as 'a proper horse' on page 109. Reported to have suffe...

A new feature this year is From the Weighing Room, which is an interview with leading jockey Nico De Boinville. Nicky Henderson's stable jocke...
Once again, the new edition of One Jump Ahead will include an interview with champion trainer Dan Skelton. Paul Nicholls' former assistant topped the table last term with 194 winners and record prize-money totalling in excess of £5m. It was a magnificent effort by the Warwickshire based handler. A couple of weeks ago, I conducted a two part interview with Dan - the second part whilst he was ...
Rich and Susannah Ricci became the first owners to be responsible for the Champion Hurdle and Cheltenham Gold Cup winners in the same season. Lossiemouth and Gaelic Warrior on the blue Riband of hurdling and steeplechasing respectively last spring with 25 Grade 1 winners in total. Their pink and green silks will be worn by some exciting new recruits which have been purchased in recent months. I am...
The Ed Walker trained Sunday Girl, who features in the Maidens In Waiting section of Ahead On The Flat, made her belated reappearance at Windsor on Monday evening. Absent for 361 days, the daughter of Frankel was sent off 15/8 for a six furlongs fillies' novice stakes at the Thames track. Partnered by Kieran Shoemark, she raced prominently throughout before taking over two furlongs out. Pushed cle...
The York Ebor Update made a good start to the meeting with a couple of winners and big priced placed runners on the first two days. Unfortunately, things deteriorated over the final two days with some poor selections. The Sky Bet Ebor itself proved an anti-climax with Emit fading tamely in the final two furlongs, while Klassleader never got into a position where he looked like winning. Hankelow sa...
It was a solid day in terms of results for the York Ebor Update but it could have been even better if Sparan Nua had collared Kalpana in the dying strides of the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks on Thursday. Advised at 33/1, Jim Bolger's filly was finishing strongly behind Andrew Balding's King George winner but found the winning post coming a few yards too soon. Unlucky in running when third in the Irish O...
The Juddmonte International Stakes at York's Ebor Festival on Wednesday was billed as the race of the season with Ombudsman going head to head with French Derby and Eclipse Stakes winner Constitution River. However, it was another three year old Item who upset the applecart collaring Almaqam in the dying strides and prevailing by a head with Aidan O'Brien's runner back in third. Unbeaten in three ...

Just a reminder that the York Ebor Update will be emailed to clients on Monday evening (17th June). If you haven't already ordered, please head to the Publications section of the site. As in previous years, I am delighted to announce that William Haggas has sent me a list of his runners over the four days on the Knavesmire, including those in the Sky Bet Ebor. Indeed, the stable look particularly ...
