Rad can start new campaign in red-hot form September 8, 2020 RACING fans in Hong Kong are quick to associate themselves with any horse that catches their eye as a real trier and rarely lets them down, especially at Happy Valley.

Moreira to keep Lightning fast start going September 8, 2020 WE’RE back under the lights as Happy Valley hosts its first meeting of the new 2020/21 season with a typically competitive eight-race card.

Fox Chairman looks a Dream of a bet at Windsor August 27, 2020 AFTER the razzmatazz of York’s Ebor Festival last week, it’s unsurprising the action this weekend is of a slightly lesser note. There’s still a decent card at Goodwood, though, with the Group Two Celebration Mile (3:35pm) the standout contest. All eyes will be on Benbatl who makes an eagerly-anticipated return having been off the track [...]
Glencadam looks a monster price for Glory at 33/1 August 20, 2020 AFTER three days of cracking action, the feature race on the final day of York’s Ebor Festival is the Sky Bet Ebor (3.40pm) with £250,000 up for grabs.

Koeman might manage to land day three opener August 20, 2020 MARK Johnston looks to hold the key to day three’s opening 1m4f handicap (1:45pm) with Zabeel Champion.

However, connections would have wanted the rain clouds to linger for [...]
Ubettabelieveit, Power set to test Battaash August 20, 2020 FRIDAY’S feature is the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes (3.15pm) and given how impressive he’s been so far this season, it’s unsurprising Battaash is as short as 1/2 to win the race he won in such devastating fashion last year. He broke Dayjur’s 29-year record 12 months ago and looks quicker than every this year, but given [...]
Give the Lowther a Miss August 19, 2020 THERE’S plenty of rain about up in York this week and the fillies lining up for the Group Two Lowther Stakes (1:45pm) on day two of the Ebor Festival may encounter the most testing ground of the entire week. That shouldn’t be a problem for Irish raider MISS AMULET, a daughter of Sir Prancealot who won [...]
