The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (5.20) has come a long way in its 153-year existence. Created in 1866, it took until 1907 for Orby to do the Epsom and Curragh Derby double, and another 57 years before Santa Claus became the second. These days things are different and Anthony Van Dyck would become the 19th horse to etch his name on both trophies…

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum has died at the age of 75, but his racing legacy will live on after an involvement with the sport spanning over four decades. From Nashwan to Dayjur, some of the greatest names of the Turf have carried Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's colours to victory over the years. There are too many to mention, but here is a very select…

Baaeed: will make his final racecourse appearance in either the Arc or Champion Stakes Angus Gold says he would personally love nothing more than for Baaeed to round off his career in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, an event he described as "the greatest race in the world". But Shadwell's long-serving racing manager and wise counsel to the…

That's it for the day from Goodwood. We hope you've had a good afternoon and enjoyed the Sussex Stakes, it certainly lived up to the hype. Do join us again tomorrow when we'll be back here hunting for winners once again. Following the Sussex Stakes, William Buick reported that Vatican City, unplaced, was struck into; the Veterinary Officer reported…

Harry Redknapp: enjoyed a winner with Moktasaab, but missed the price Saturday: Newbury Harry Redknapp was left a little disappointed despite the success of Moktasaab - his first horse with William Knight - in the 1m2f handicap. The former West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur manager said: "I've had a great day and really enjoyed it. We fancied him, but…

Stradivarius proved too good once more, overtaking hat-trick hero Double Trigger to claim a fourth Goodwood Cup under Frankie Dettori on the opening day Stradivarius made history by becoming the first horse to win the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup four times. The mighty stayer overtook hat-trick hero Double Trigger (1995, 1997, 1998) when taking the big…

In a year when many big handicaps have struggled to provide a full field, the Balmoral Handicap bucks the trend. The last in at declarations time was the 100-rated Orbaan, who was also in at the foot of the weights when winning July's Golden Mile, but is 13lb higher now. First reserve is Mums Tipple and that this race can attract him, as well as…

Chindit: chased home Baaeed on his last two starts The favourite has delivered in each of the past nine runnings of the Summer Mile but this year's race is wide open with at least five plausible winners. It is no forgone conclusion that early market leader Chindit will make it a perfect ten, and it is not fanciful to suggest there may be a new…

The Kimpton handler annexed both divisions of the Byerley Stud British EBF Novice Stakes with Bluestocking, a daughter of Camelot, landing the first, before If Not Now, a son of Iffraaj, led home stablemate Rebel Red in the second division. Just for good measure Remarquee showed a good turn of foot to take the first division of the seven-furlong…

There is more to life than just Group 1s for championship-chasing trainer William Haggas. He still takes joy in lifting the traditional big handicaps and has won most of them, from the Lincoln and Victoria Cup in the spring to the Ayr Gold Cup and November Handicap in the autumn, plus numerous others in between. However, the Cambridgeshire is one…

Kameko: seeks to bounce back from Derby disappointment in the Sussex Stakes The Sussex Stakes (3.15) has all the ingredients to be one of the races of the season, as Guineas winners Kameko and Siskin clash with classy four-year-old Mohaather over Goodwood's sharp mile track. Irish 2000 Guineas winner Siskin, trained by Ger Lyons, is unbeaten in…

The Cesarewitch course is two and a half miles long, with a single right-handed turn at halfway, creating a ten-furlong straight course, the longest in the country. A wide, galloping track with an uphill finish that is ideal for the big, long-striding horse, except for the descent into the Dip where those types can become unbalanced. Ability to see…

The Haynes, Hanson & Clark Conditions Stakes has a rich history and its 42nd running might be one to note given the way Stormbuster tore away from his opposition to win by a commanding five lengths. Having his fourth start, he is owned by breeder Jeff Smith, who said: "We've got a nice horse, there's no question about that. We thought this from day…

Marcus Tregoning was full of praise for young jockey Harry Davies, who brought up a double on the day aboard Atalanta Breeze in the 1m4f handicap. Racing away from the rest of the field, the six-year-old finished strongly under Davies to record a two-length victory, adding to Tregoning's plethora of Brighton successes and ending a "painful 273-day…

The door to the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe may not have swung wide-open for Baaeed - but it's at least now ajar with the ParisLongchamp showpiece under consideration for the latest Shadwell superstar. Hamdan Al Maktoum never won the great race during his remarkable ownership career, Sakhee having switched to Godolphin before his triumph in…
