Gaassee is Newsboy's tip for the big race of the day, the Sky Bet Ebor. It is a typically competitive renewal, with plenty of Irish-trained runners including Earl Of Tyrone and late gamble Licence William Haggas (right) trained superstar Baaeed (pictured at Goodwood) to win at York earlier in the week - and Newsboy hopes he can add this year's Ebor…

Kachy declared a Non-Runner on Friday morning... Cleonte can make his class tell in another thoroughly competitive renewal of the Sportpesa Chester Cup on the Roodee.

Racing's most eloquent ambassadors are frequently the jockeys and it is they who take centre stage at Ascot in the Dubai Duty Free-sponsored Shergar Cup, an annual team competition in which the stardust is sprinkled on the riding talent rather than necessarily on the handicappers that they must pilot. In particular, the Rest of the World line-up…

Jungle Cove: seeking another major handicap win under Dylan Kidd No favourite has won this historic handicap since 2000, so it could pay to think outside the box when it comes to cracking the big-race puzzle.

Four years on from his busman's holiday during a pre-Covid British summer, Vincent Ho remembers his short spell as part of Mark Johnston's team vividly.

The home team, who finished over 50 points clear of defending champions the Ladies in second, had the multi-team event wrapped up before the last - but the race for the Alistair Haggis Silver Saddle awarded to the leading rider went right down to the wire.

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).

The Japanese racing world has a real love-affair with the Arc de Triomphe and while I don't quite know how the fascination really began, trying to win Europe's premier middle-distance turf race has turned into a bit of an obsession for the whole racing community over there in the last 20 or 30 years. Deep Impact would have been the most…

I don't dislike the Shergar Cup but nevertheless it was great to see an equine performance of real merit over the weekend when Little Big Bear exploded away from the field in the Phoenix Stakes.

Imagine running a racecourse or…
