Pasvolsky: one of four last-time-out winners among the nine runners This is a good-quality contest but features a bunch of classy'nearly' horses who have flattered to deceive. Take Beakstown as an example. He has come up against smart opponents like Sam Spinner, Champ, Mister Fisher and Imperial Aura in chases and run well in their company, but how…

It's new year, new team for Kyle Busch. His farewell tour from Joe Gibbs Racing, a team where he spent 15 seasons and racked up 56 of his 60 NASCAR Cup Series wins, is over and done with. It's on to his next chapter with Richard Childress Racing. Time for the Las Vegas native to prove that he has plenty of gas left in the tank, even at 37. Just how…

Ascot Park harness racing trainer Tyler Dewe continued has great strike rate when Sophie (Bettor's Delight) won at Roxburgh today. The mare was his twelfth race day starter and his sixth winner.

Michael Kinane was new into his role as equine talent spotter for the HKJC when he arrived at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2019 and set about securing a son of Acclamation out of a mare from a strong Godolphin family. There was an element of disguise familiar to any Sales regular - Kinane left the ring while his daughter Aisling carried…

Huetor has overcome a mystery eye ailment that nearly ended his race career and will make an extraordinary, emotional comeback in the Group 2 $2m The Ingham (1600m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Things could be worse for Jamestradamus, and they certainly could be better. Back in October, I made my annual predictions for Detroit's 2022-23 campaign. The season is far from over, and in the case of the 5-18 Pistons, it really hasn't even started because of some significant injuries. But I thought it would be fun to take a quarter-season look…

Without Parole will need to buck a trend, for it is unprecedented in recent years for a St James's Palace winner to have arrived at Royal Ascot without having already been tested at the highest level. He is one of just three runners here who has not run in a Classic, which says much for the impression he has made while rising through the ranks, as…

Racing Victoria believes it is winning the war against the'Nup to the Cup' movement, and that back-to-back Melbourne Cups without a fatality will help strengthen racing's social licence.

After defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday the New York Knicks are sitting at an even 5-5 record. The franchise is currently eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, good for a high-end seed in the play-in if the season ended today. Of course, that is not the case. But, what if this was already February and the trade deadline was about…

Perhaps predictably, the final Group 1 race of the year for two-year-olds, domestically at least, the Vertem Futurity Trophy, went the way of Aidan O'Brien for the seventh time since 2009. Auguste Rodin, a winner of a maiden race at Naas and a Group 2 at Leopardstown since being beaten on his debut, followed in the footsteps of the likes of…

Let the…

Muir, who was an interested bystander as he watched the Sir Mark…

The Ireland-bred colt was the 2-1 favorite in a field of 12 at the world championships on Friday at Del Mar. He was in the No. 1 post position and Albahr…
