Tom Williams/JTW Equine Images By Jack Williams ASCOT, Berkshire, U.K.-In a race that prior to the off was billed by many as being the best clash of weight-for-age equine talent since the days of Nijinsky, Mill Reef, Brigadier Gerard and Grundy, a fairytale winner was once again crowned in front of royalty at Ascot on Saturday, as Hukum and Jim…

Burrows had just seen his Alflaila defy a 294 day absence in the Sky Bet York Stakes before watching Hukum get the better of Westover in the historic Group One.

You learn quickly in this game that it very rarely follows the script. It's been nearly two decades since I first started following the sport and already I've lost count of the number of times it's failed to deliver what it promised on the big days, the sort of occasions which piqued my interest in the first place. Last year's Champion Stakes is…

THE best race of the year has bookies floundering - with THREE horses all battling it out for favouritism.

The St James's Palace Stakes is a race to settle any arguments as to which horse is the best miler of the classic generation and Chaldean and Paddington, winners of the British and Irish 2000 Guineas, respectively, will hopefully serve up a treat. Chaldean achieved much more than Paddington as a juvenile, notably winning the Dewhurst Stakes, and he…

Malmo will host Degerfors at the Eleda Stadion on Monday in another round of the 2023 Allsvenskan campaign.

Top-class horses were in action across Irish 1000 Guineas day at the Curragh, but who caught the eye of the Racing Post experts with a view to Royal Ascot next month? I thought Matrika won the opening maiden in fine style and she looks a big player in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. Aidan O'Brien won that Group 3 last season with Irish 1000…

When Magical won back-to-back runnings of the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2019 and 2020 at odds of 2-7 and 2-9 you feared for the future of the race but this rollicking rendition is unquestionably the Flat race of 2023 at this early stage.

A day after bringing Little Big Bear back from an underwhelming reappearance in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, Aidan O'Brien repeated the feat with Luxembourg to secure his tenth Tattersalls Gold Cup, 20 years after his first. At this stage we're running short of superlatives to convey the genius of O'Brien, who was recording his 400th success at…

In some quarters the 2000 Guineas is considered the final remaining juvenile race of the previous season and the quandary facing punters is separating the rapid improvers from those who have peaked and determining who holds sway. That is because the best long-term prospect in the field is not always the horse who storms to Classic glory. The…

The Curragh hosts a cracking Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes in which Group 1 winners Luxembourg and Above The Curve return to action.

Unbeaten colt Luxembourg has shown Aidan O'Brien a "good sign" ahead of a tilt at the 2000 Guineas. The Ballydoyle trainer is aiming the three-time winner at the Newmarket Classic on April 30.
