Blackmore had a dream 2021 though she made the decision to go with A Plus Tard last year when stablemate Minella…

Gordon Elliott smashed the bookies with a massive priced four timer - Party Central (9/4), Mighty Potter (20/1), Felix Desjy (11/1) and Absolute Notions (25/1) all going in on the opening day for the Cullentra trainer. Energumene was one of the few Cheltenham Festival winners to stand up the form when he fended off Chacun Pour Soi in the Champion…

The memories of Cheltenham Festival are fading and it's all systems go for the Grand National at Aintree.

Our man Garry Owen has gone through the card for day two of Royal Ascot. BASHKIROVA (4.20) fits the bill for William Haggas in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes on Day Two of Royal Ascot.

It was a whirlwind half hour for Christian Williams as he followed up his Eider Chase success at Newcastle with a one-two in the Coral Trophy Handicap Chase at Kempton. Before that, though, Knight Salute impressively maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles when justifying 15-8 favouritism in the Coral Adonis Juvenile Hurdle, his third Grade 2…

Gold Cup day at Ayr saw one of the most valuable sprint handicaps in Europe take place in Scotland.

There was Scottish success there too for Maid O'Malley for the Stuart and Sam Coltherd…

State Of Rest brought his A game to Ascot to brush aside Prince Of Wales's Stakes favourite Bay Bridge. Joseph O'Brien's stayer was given a fine front-running ride and kept finding more for Shane Crosse up the straight. The 5-1 shot, who has now scored in England, Ireland, Australia, America and France, finished a length ahead of the 10-11 market…
