#Teddy Grimthorpe

As times change, even a two-time Triple Crown-winning, Hall of Fame trainer has to adjust. In an era when horses are racing less and less, Bob Baffert looks like he is not only ahead of the curve, but he is leading the vanguard. This goes way beyond what he did with Justify in a gaudy, 112-day dash from apprenticeship to retirement. Very quietly,…

Pat Eddery, one of the greatest jockeys of the postwar era, with three victories in the Epsom Derby and four in the Arc de Triomphe to his credit, as well as two Breeders' Cup races in the United States, died on Tuesday. He was 63. Teddy Grimthorpe, the European racing manager for Juddmonte Farms, who worked with Eddery for many years, confirmed…

The red-hot favourite for the William Hill St Leger has raced only four times and never competed as a two-year-old. In some ways that would make him a perfectly normal winner of the world's oldest Classic. Frankie Dettori and John Gosden have been mopping up Group 1 races all year but at the start of 2019 nobody outside of Clarehaven Stables and…

Enable is an odds-on favourite with the sponsors to make a winning return as she faces seven rivals for her seasonal return in Saturday's Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown. John Gosden's superstar filly has been off the track since winning the Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs last November, with that run only the third of her 2018 campaign after…

Siskin: won last season's Phoenix stakes and will once again do battle against Monarch of Egypt (green) and Royal Lytham (blue and orange) He may be yet to taste defeat from four starts as a juvenile, but question marks hover over market leader Siskin as he tackles a mile for the first time. So far, the Ger Lyons-trained colt has done all of his…

So impressive in winning at Haydock and Newbury this spring, John and Thady Gosden's Frankel filly was well fancied to provide jockey Hollie Doyle with a first Classic success at Epsom on Friday. But while she travelled into the race strongly, Nashwa's effort slightly faltered late on and she was beaten just over three lengths by the Aidan…

Nashwa carries the mantle of one of Europe's bankers in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf on Saturday. The John and Thady Gosden-trained three-year-old has already won the Prix de Diane (French Oaks) and Nassau Stakes in a successful season and came close to adding a third Group One in the Prix de l'Opera last time out. Owned by Imad Al Sagar,…

Nashwa: will bid for back-to-back Group 1 wins in the Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood next week Baaeed is unlikely to be the only odds-on Group 1 shot at Glorious Goodwood next week with Nashwa's Nassau Stakes task made easier by the defections of stablemate Inspiral and La Petite Coco. The €1 million Prix Jacques le Marois is under…

2022-10-11Sir Henry Cecil and Willie Carson to be inducted into British Champions Series Hall of Fame One of the most respected, successful and popular trainers the sport has ever seen, Cecil's induction comes 10 years after the mighty Frankel's final racecourse appearance. A special induction ceremony will take place on Qipco British Champions Day…

The Imad Al Sagar-owned daughter of Frankel, who was third in the Oaks before landing two top-class victories in the Prix de Diane and the Nassau Stakes, was sent off favourite for the 10-furlong l'Opera following a two-month break. Despite the very soft ground, the John and Thady Gosden-trained three-year-old looked home and hosed when Hollie…

Deauville Legend is on course for the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York with James Ferguson also eyeing up a possible tilt at the Melbourne Cup later in the year. The son of Sea The Stars has proven a consistent performer in middle-distance contests so far this term and struck gold when gamely landing the Bahrain Trophy during Newmarket's July…
