Royal Ascot Racing Review
Itās Day 2 of the Royal Ascot. The meeting is of course the centrepiece of Ascotās racing year but the meeting has always been traditionally a key element of the British summer social calendar alongside such events as Henley Regatta and Wimbledon. It is a gloriously eccentric āEnglishā event off the track and a conspicuous celebration of wealth and nowhere…

Weekly Eyecatcher Report
Weekly Eyecatcher’s Report It was Guineas weekend in Ireland and Gleneagles proved he is the best three year old mile colt in the UK & Ireland when he won the Irish 2000 Guineas.

Saturday Preview
I am not a great fan of the early part of the flat season as I like to see the form settle down a bit with horses having a run or two under their belts and the results having a more reliable look about them. The Epsom Derby meeting is my usual indicator that the season has moved in to…
