Danny Tudhope: four-winner haul at Royal Ascot for second time in four years Danny Tudhope has described Ascot as a difficult place to ride and said it has taken him a long time to get to grips with the track - but having partnered four winners at the royal meeting for the second time in four years, he has shown he rides it better than most. Only…

AUGUSTE RODIN lived up to the hype with a smooth victory in the Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster on Saturday. The Deep Impact colt was a Group Two winner last time when landing the Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown and comfortably made the step up to Group One level. Partnered by Ryan Moore, the son of another Group One-winner Rhododendron…

Nashwa is a warm favourite to take a second Group One contest in the Qatar Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on Thursday, with co-trainer Thady Gosden confident she will be effective on the South Downs track. The daughter of Frankel did not stay the mile and a half of the Oaks at Epsom, finishing three and a quarter lengths behind Tuesday. However, she…

Chief Singer won the Coventry Stakes on his debut in 1983 Holloway Boy may have stunned punters with his 40-1 debut success in the Chesham Stakes, but he is not the first two-year-old to defy inexperience and triumph at Royal Ascot first time out. It happened in the same race in 1996 when the late Hamdan Al Maktoum's home-bred colt Shamikh, trained…

OAKS heroine Tuesday and one time Derby favourite Stone Age will spearhead a classic Aidan O'Brien Breeders' Cup raiding party. And with the champion of Ireland being joined by Britain's top gun Charlie Appleby in a strong challenge, the message is loud and clear to the Americans that the best of Europe is on its way to the World Thoroughbred…

When: 3.35 Saturday, October 22 Where: Doncaster Racecourse, South Yorkshire Winner's prize: £118400 Where to watch: ITV Racing and Sky Sports Racing Odds: Seriously appealing pedigree being a son of Deep Impact and the first foal out of Rhododendron, who was a sister to Magical and a class act in her own right.

Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup favourite Kyprios will have to end Stradivarius' unbeaten record at the track to win, while last year's winner Trueshan, the mount of Hollie Doyle, is a key contender Andrea Atzeni celebrates Stradivarius' win in the 2017 Qatar Goodwood Cup Stradiavrius' owner is confident the star stayer retains the ability to maintain his…

Kyprios is fancied to continue his reign at the top of the staying division in the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup (3.35). Aidan O'Brien's stayer continued his relentless upward curve with a half-length call over Mojo Star in the Royal Ascot feature. The way the race was run marks it down as an excellent renewal and Galileo's son will have no issue with the…

The Holy Roman Emperor colt did fledgling trainer John O'Donoghue proud at last month's showpiece meeting in Berkshire - belying odds of 80/1 to finish second to Holloway Boy in the Chesham Stakes. David Egan travels across the Irish Sea to keep the ride in Thursday evening's Group Three feature and O'Donoghue is looking forward to seeing how he…

Those of a certain age will remember when British and Irish-trained runners at the Breeders' Cup were a novelty, with winners being a rarity. But the boundaries and obstacles have become smaller. As a consequence, the raiding party seems to get bigger every year, with multiple winners becoming the norm. The dirt races may remain a bridge too far…

Reference Point, High Chaparral, Motivator, Authorized, Camelot. All won the Vertem Futurity Trophy at two and the Derby at three between 1986 and 2011, but the fab five haven't been joined by another horse in the last decade. Perhaps the-times-they-are-a-changin'? The Doncaster race has become more of a pointer towards the 2000 Guineas in recent…

Two of the eight favourites were successful on day one of Glorious Goodwood last year but no winner returned a bigger price than 13-2. Here we assess the claims of today's favourites for the ITV action and whether they are a play or a lay. . . Just Fine (1.50 Goodwood) Favourites have won three of the last four runnings of the 1m2f handicap but…

The Racing Post's awards will honour the best (and sometimes worst) performances and raise talking points from the last seven days of racing. This week's winners are. . . He had the pressure of a nation behind him but Nature Strip delivered in extraordinary fashion in the King's Stand Stakes on Tuesday. The seven-year-old was sent off 9-4 second…

Perhaps predictably, the final Group 1 race of the year for two-year-olds, domestically at least, the Vertem Futurity Trophy, went the way of Aidan O'Brien for the seventh time since 2009. Auguste Rodin, a winner of a maiden race at Naas and a Group 2 at Leopardstown since being beaten on his debut, followed in the footsteps of the likes of…

Charlie Appleby views Flying Honours as a potential Derby candidate for next season after bouncing back to winning ways in the Godolphin Flying Start Zetland Stakes at Newmarket. So impressive in winning at Sandown and Salisbury during the summer, the Sea The Stars colt was widely expected to complete his hat-trick in the Group Two Royal Lodge…

Day one of the Qatar Goodwood Festival and all the elements are in place for some compelling World Pool action. Correction - most of the elements are in place as Alan King plays another game of Trueshan Roulette ahead of the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup. Kyprios and Stradivarius lie in wait if racing's latest buzzword - the dreadful evapotranspiration -…

All times BST, please refresh for updates 1046: Nostrum, along with Isaac Shelby, is the least experienced runner in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes and it's possible that it could prove to be undoing stepping up to contest this competitive Group One. However, there's no hiding from the impression that he's made in winning his maiden at Sandown and the…

An exciting field assembled for what is typically one of the most informative juvenile races in the Flat season and NOSTRUM handled the Dip like a potential Classic contender when winning over this course and distance last month. That Group Three win was a clear step forward from his successful Sandown debut and if there's even more to come from…

Juddmonte hold a strong hand in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes with Chaldean and Nostrum both striding out at Newmarket on Saturday. In a race that could decide the champion two-year-old and often acts as a guide to the following spring's 2000 Guineas, it is no surprise to see both youngsters feature high up on the ante-post lists for the opening…

Several leading contenders for the 2000 Guineas will clash in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday and it will be no surprise if we have a new ante-post favourite for the first Classic of next year by Saturday evening. The absence of Sakheer, who had been supplemented for £35000, is a pity but the showpiece still has a glow about…

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…

Sky Bet halved him in price from 16/1 for the first Classic of the 2023 season on the back of a taking success, where he beat two useful rivals in Holloway Boy and Victory Dance on just his second career start. Sent to the front by Ryan Moore, the strapping son of Kingman put the race to bed when asked to quicken out of the dip, seeing off the…

Saturday is billed as "Juddmonte Day" as the breeding operation sponsor the Royal Lodge, Cheveley Park and Middle Park Stakes, but it could end up being Coolmore Day or even H H Aga Khan Day, though the predominately emerald green silks representing the latter will not be on show, not at Newmarket anyway. That's because the season's outstanding…

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,…

A surprise winner of the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot on his racecourse debut, Karl Burke's juvenile proved that effort was no fluke when runner-up to Marbaan in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
