The St Leger: will be staged on a nine-race card at Doncaster on Sunday The BHA has announced that Saturday's racing in Britain will be cancelled as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen, with key races including the St Leger featuring in a revised programme on Sunday. The new nine-race card at Doncaster will also include the Group 2…

The Weatherbys Super Sprint was devised by Richard Hannon Snr and Lord Carnarvon as a lucrative prize for two-year-olds who hadn't cost a fortune at the sales. Accordingly, it has been the source of numerous wonderful rags-to-riches stories in its 30-year history. But just because the popular five-furlong dash staged at Newbury each July caters for…

1pt win Sacred in Breeders' Cup Mile at 25/1 (Sky Bet, Unibet) There have been 11 three-year-old winners of the Breeders' Cup Mile since its inaugural running in 1984, nine of which were trained in Europe. Four of those nine were fillies - namely Miesque, Ridgewood Pearl, Six Perfections and Goldikova - and in total (US and Euro-trained) the race…

HASKOY (3.55, nb) is fancied to defend her unbeaten record to land the final Classic of the 2022, the Cazoo St Leger at Doncaster on Sunday. New London will go off a hot favourite to follow Charlie Appleby stablemate Hurricane Lane's victory in the race 12 months ago. But Haskoy has come a long way in a short space of time under trainer Ralph…

MITBAAHY is fancied to win the battle of the fastest horses on Goodwood's card in the King George Qatar Stakes (3.35). Roger Varian's sprinter was unlucky not to take the spoils at Sandown, enduring a troubled passaged over the minimum trip. Raasel was in front that day but the selection has a fine chance of turning the tables. Earlier on the…

It's a bumper weekend of action for the juvenile division, the culmination of which will be Saturday's Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. I've taken a look at the seven main races across Friday and Saturday. 1.50 Newmarket: Crispy Cat I'm surprised to see such a disparity in prices between the favourite, Prince Of Pillo, and Crispy Cat. There is…

The heavy favourite Commissioning appears to have a significant class edge over her seven rivals in the Fillies' Mile, but perhaps more interesting for betting purposes is Prince Of Pillo, who is himself 6 lb clear of the other two-year-olds assembled for the Group Three Cornwallis Stakes on Timeform's weight-adjusted ratings. After winning two of…

One of Europe's most prestigious events lights up Longchamp on Sunday afternoon as the Prix de l'arc De Triomphe will see the premier middle distance performers scorch the French turf in what is set to be a hum-dinger of a renewal. However, there will be a real Flat extravaganza over the weekend at Longchamp and lots of the action will take place…

Trillium: leading contender for Richard Hannon This is a two-horse race on form, with The Platinum Queen and Trillium upwards of 10lb clear of the rest of the field on Racing Post Ratings, and both are confirmed speedsters who look at their best over five furlongs. The Platinum Queen holds the strongest claims on RPRs. She recorded a figure of 108…

BIG DAY FOR: Christophe Head entering the progressive filly Tigrais in this (against colts) rather than the Marcel Boussac hints she could be well above-average, and that she's got plenty of gears for this sort of test to boot. She's consigned her modest debut run at Chantilly in mid-July firmly to the past with subsequent wins at Deauville and…

Meditate gets a second bite of the cherry at Group One level in the Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. The daughter of No Nay Never won each of her first four starts for Aidan O'Brien, including the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Debutante at the Curragh. She suffered the first defeat of her career when no match for…

Two-year-olds hold center stage in Britain and Ireland this weekend. Newmarket hosts the first two Group 1 events of the year on the British calendar for juveniles, both over six furlongs. There are also Group 2 one-mile two-year-old contests in Britain and Ireland that are not only good prizes in their own right; they also open the European Road…

The unbeaten Gimcrack winner Noble Style would have been a short-priced favourite for the Middle Park Stakes had he been in the line-up but in the absence of the Godolphin colt, the York runner-up MARSHMAN looks a worthy Ratings Banker instead. Noble Style won well but Marshman was only a length and a quarter behind him, running to a smart level…

New stars of the Flat are set to emerge this week as three days of outstanding action kick off on Thursday when Newmarket hosts an abundance of top two-year-old races. Last season the likes of Coroebus and Modern Games appeared at the meeting and this year's fields are likely to offer plenty of clues for next season's Classics and beyond. 1m,…

The William Haggas-trained filly has been campaigned exclusively in Group-race company since making a winning debut at Newmarket in 2020, during which time she has won the Nell Gwyn and the Hungerford Stakes and finished second in the Flying Childers, the Lowther and the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. She made a promising start this year when beaten…

Irish Champion Stakes, Leopardstown, Saturday 10 September Luxembourg had been only workmanlike when winning the Royal Whip Stakes by a neck at the Curragh last month, but, having met with a setback after finishing third in the 2000 Guineas, he was entitled to come on for that outing and he duly took a big step forward to win a strong edition of…

Today sees the first Group 2 event, the Cazoo May Hill Stakes (15h35) run over a mile for juvenile fillies. The Johnston trained Dance In The Grass is unbeaten in two starts and is likely the favourite. Her form looks strong - on debut at Sandown over 7 furlongs, the daughter of freshman sire Cracksman proved far too strong for the Godolphin…
