The championship-chasing rider, who bids for a second Derby triumph on Nations Pride, was on board…

James Ferguson walks back in with his Prestige Stakes winner Mise En Scene The biggest smile on course belonged to James Ferguson, who saddled his first Pattern success when Mise En Scene landed the Group 3 Prestige Stakes, earning quotes of 16-1 and 25-1 with Paddy Power for next year's Qipco 1000 Guineas and Cazoo Oaks.

The…

Can up-and-coming hurdler Knappers Hill (right) take Sceau Royal's crown at Wincanton? If Sceau Royal wins this race again then it wouldn't be a surprise if it were to be named after him at some point in the future, because the ten-year-old has dominated the contest in recent years. He won his first Elite Hurdle off a mark of 149 when it was a…

Epatante lands the Christmas Hurdle for a second time Sunday: Kempton The familiar service of Nicky Henderson and owner JP McManus dominating the Christmas Hurdle resumed in glorious fashion as Epatante showed her sparkle and style remains by regaining her crown in a performance the trainer insisted was Champion Hurdle-worthy. An imperious winner…
