We have some great trainers – like Kirk Swanson, who is a master when it comes to identifying and preparing horses with Classic potential
Gentle Brook won the Champion Fillies Stakes in 2014 and should go very close when this 1600m feature is run at Borrowdale Park today
In-form jockey Andrew Fortune will be riding for trainer Gokhan Terzi at Borrowdale Park today when racing resumes after a six-week break
Most dogs were barking for Terzi’s charge, Glorious Jet. But but down at the start the Jet Master gelding dumped Apprentice Wesley Marwing, slipped his bridle and bolted back to the 2800m mark. Although Glorious Jet then made his own way back he managed to find the gap in the railings and went skipping through the trees before being caught!
Clifton Stud-bred AP Arrow filly could be the value in open affair. Seven races are carded with first due off at 13h25 today at Borrowdale – watch the feature at 16h30.
Bridget Stidolph, formerly Assistant Trainer to Lisa Harris, has been granted a Trainers Licence in Zimbabwe
Just 48 hours after Cheeky Wink’s smart win at Tipperary, the Kieswetter and Heffer families enjoyed another champagne moment at Sandown
Ridgemont’s Rafeef fairytale received more endorsement on the Championships Finale at Turffontein on Saturday when his daughter, Chasing Happiness, ran her eight opponents off their feet to register her second stakes success when winning the TAB Gr2 Senor Santa Stakes
The number of entries compares favourably in quantum with recent years, with 58 first entries received in 2024, 60 in 2023, 68 in 2022, 53 in 2021, 52 in 2020, 49 in 2019, and 69 in 2018
Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
