BetFred St Leger Stakes (G1)
BetFred St Leger Stakes (G1) “Scandinavia” Having been the Ante Post favourite for this race since July, it was slightly surprising to see that Scandinavia returned an SP of 2/1, but that was perhaps more a reflection of the market support for his stablemate rather than any doubts over his chances. This review should focus […]
Rogers Woodbine Mile Stakes (G1)
Rogers Woodbine Mile Stakes (G1) “Notable Speech wins on a mixed night for Godolphin” This was a 3rd win in 4 years in the Woodbine Mile for Charlie Appleby and the Godolphin team after the earlier successes of Modern Games (2022) and Master of the Seas (2023).

Del Mar Futurity (G1)
Del Mar Futurity (G1) “Bob Baffert lands a 5-timer with Brant” It’s been a good weekend at Del Mar for Bob Baffert and fresh off the back of success with Bottle of Rouge in the Debutante Stakes on Saturday night, he duly added the Del Mar Futurity for the 5th year in a row as […]
155th Grosser Preis von Baden (G1)
155th Grosser Preis von Baden (G1) “Goliath stands tall in Baden-Baden” Since winning La Coupe at Paris Longchamp in June, Goliath had been somewhat underwhelming in a pair of defeats in France.
