#Park Hill Stakes

1pt win Francesco Clemente in Cazoo St Leger at 25/1 (Sky Bet) No shortage of water yet to pass under the bridge prior to the Cazoo St Leger on September 10 so with one firm cutting Westover to a ridiculously skinny 6/4 for the Doncaster Classic on the back of winning a decidedly weak Irish Derby last weekend, I can't resist exploring some of the…

Godolphin pair Adayar and Hurricane Lane, the Aga Khan's superstar mare Tarnawa and dual Oaks winner Snowfall have been declared for Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as 15 runners stood their ground on Thursday. The Roger Varian-trained Teona, who beat Snowfall in the Prix Vermeille this month, misses the race as the ground will be…

Baaeed headlines an all-star cast for Qipco British Champions Day as the world's best turf horse bows out in the feature Champion Stakes (4.00). William Haggas' star is a red-hot 1-5 favourite for the ten-furlong contest but the presence of last year's Derby and King George winner Adayar means that the champion will need to be on his A-game if he…

Sea La Rosa: a strong fancy for the Lillie Langtry Stakes William Haggas knows all too well after this week that horses tend to be judged on the company they keep. Some continue to be down on his stable star Baaeed due to his opposition's stubborn refusal to be better racehorses. At least Haggas gets to enjoy the flip side in the Lillie…

With the season drawing to a close, it's time for Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot, which will be the scene of six top-class races over distances between six furlongs and two miles. At the Berkshire venue on Saturday afternoon, the best horses in the country will battle it out to be crowned the king or queen or…

IT was great to be at Donny yesterday and I've got two nice rides this afternoon. First I am on two-year-old GALERON (2.00) for Charlie Hills. The colt has been highly tried since winning his maiden but hasn't been disgraced in Group races at Glorious Goodwood and York's Ebor Festival and Charlie clearly holds him in high regard. He finished…

Roger Varian's Sakheer made light work of his six rivals in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on Saturday, travelling beautifully and sprinting clear in the style of a high-class colt. As short as 7/1 for the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket next May, he has announced himself as a Classic prospect and there is no doubt he looks an…

Beckett has an outstanding record with fillies and he won the 2015 St Leger with Simple Verse, before losing it in the stewards room and then regaining it on appeal. However, he has never had one quite like the Juddmonte-owned Haskoy, who was a wide margin winner at Wolverhampton on her debut just six weeks ago and followed up in the Listed Galtres…

channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage This Thursday, 8 September, the horse racing NAP of the Day for SportsLens experts is Eshaada. She contests the extended 1m 6f Park Hill Stakes, the feature Group 2 on the second day of Doncaster's St Leger Festival (3:10). Roger Varian's filly appeals at a terrific 13/8 price this afternoon. The…

The final Classic of the season, the Cazoo St Leger, will feature a maximum of 11 runners on Saturday. Like this season's Derby and Oaks, there are no previous Group One winners in the line-up. I'd imagine that represents some kind of record. The extended 1m 6f trip often presents an unknown for many of the contenders but several of this year's…
