Ebor wins for Malton trainers Tinkler and Richard Fahey

Malton trainers Nigel Tinkler and Richard Fahey ended the opening day of York's Ebor meeting with a winner each. Tinkler's Bomber Jet took the Sportingbet.com Stakes, while Fahey's Our Joe Mac won the final race, the Patrington Haven Leisure Park Stakes.

Thoroughbred Owner Sounds Off on Salix

On Tuesday (Aug. 9), champion Uncle Mo turned in his fourth consecutive encouraging work at Saratoga (Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) and seems on his way to making a comeback in the Aug. 27 King's Bishop. Repole is also only a couple weeks removed from winning the Jim Dandy with Stay Thirsty, who could be the favorite for the Travers and is all of a sudden in the hunt for championship honors. Oh by the way, Repole has the top-ranked 2-year-old in

Jason Maguire unhappy with Grand National fence changes

Aintree director hopeful changes will improve course. Grand National-winning jockey Jason Maguire has criticised the decision to change the Aintree course for 2012. Three fences are going to be altered after a review of April's race in which two horses were fatally injured. Maguire told BBC Radio 5 live: "From a jockey's point of view, we say no. We'd hate to lose the character of the race. "If you lower the fences and make things a lot easier you're goi

Grand National course to be altered on safety concerns

The Grand National course at Aintree will be changed for 2012 after a review of April's race in which two horses were fatally injured. A reduction of between four and five inches to the drop on the landing of Becher's Brook is among the changes. "It is not possible to completely eliminate risk in horse racing," said Aintree managing director Julian Thick. "However, I am confident the course changes we are announcing will, over time, have a positive impact.

Why was trainer Howard Johnson banned for four years

After racehorse trainer Howard Johnson is banned for four years over welfare breaches, BBC Sport looks at the background to the case. Howard Johnson ran a horse eight times after the animal underwent a palmar neurectomy, which involves severing nervous connection to the lower leg to cause numbness - something that is banned on welfare grounds. Ask the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) about welfare and they will tell you it is a responsibility they take

Champion jockey Paul Hanagan tipped for success at Thirsk

Chantal Sutherland draws a crowd on and off the racetrack

If Zenyatta was the Queen of American Horse Racing last year, then Chantal Sutherland is the game's princess this year. "When you think about it, she's just a girl making a living, and she's doing a lot of things right," said former jockey Julie Krone, the all-time leading woman jockey who changed the game for female riders. "She's handling her new world as it comes along and she's making the most of her attributes, like appearing on live, reality TV. She'

The Richard Hannon-trained five-time Group One winner Canford Cliffs has been retired to stud. The four-year-old suffered a leg injury when second to Frankel in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on July 27. Hannon said: "He's been a fantastic horse for the yard. He is without doubt the best horse I have had in over 40 years as a trainer. "It's a terrible shame - it's heartbreaking, but I don't want to see him end up with a bad injury." He added: "He

Olly Murs live at Kempton Park Race Course

He first came onto our radar as the cheeky Essex soul boy with the Mod moves and the too-tight trousers who wowed us on X Factor 2009. Just as his debut single “Please don’t let me go” was released in September 2010, we invited him to be the star turn on Ladies’ Day. We knew he was going to be big…

Midday powers to victory in Nassau Stakes at Goodwood

Midday, ridden by Tom Queally, became the first filly to win the Nassau Stakes three times after powering to victory at Goodwood. The favourite travelled strongly throughout the 10-furlong Group One and produced a tremendous finish to lead entering the final furlong. Snow Fairy provided the main threat to Midday, but the six-time Group One winner was too strong.

In the other feature, Chubby Chandler's Hoof It won the Steward's Cup. But the victo

Jockey Ryan Moore breaks arm in Glorious Goodwood fall

Pintura, priced at 18-1, was third with 14-1 shot Sooraah finishing fourth. "I'm thrilled, it was a very good ride by Hayley. Boom And Bust has surprised me," said Tregoning. Turne

Canford Cliffs may race Frankel at Ascot`s Champions Day

Canford Cliffs is set to try and avenge his Sussex Stakes defeat by Frankel in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day at Ascot on 15 October. The five-time Group One race winner, who won the Sussex 12 months ago, was beaten by five lengths on Wednesday. "We will run a few tests, but that was defintely not the Canford Cliffs we know," said trainer Richard Hannon. "Had we been beaten a couple of lengths I could have accepted it. Hopefully we will

Frankel is Sir Henry Cecil`s favourite

Tall and shy, Sir Henry Cecil, Frankel's trainer, usually prefers to let his horses' actions out on the track do the talking. Not for Sir Henry, sport's newest knight, grand pronouncements or extravagant gestures; a quieter, more considered approach is his trademark. Indeed, generally, hyperbole is more likely to be the name of some blue-blooded member of Cecil's magnificent Warren Place Stables at Newmarket, than the description of anything he has to say

Opinion Poll claims Goodwood Cup victory for Frankie Dettori

Opinion Poll, trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni and ridden by Frankie Dettori, won a thrilling Goodwood Cup at Glorious Goodwood. The Gold Cup runner-up finished ahead of Lost In The Moment, Blue Bajan and Fox Hunt with a photo deciding the outcome of the race. Overturn made the early break but was hauled in by the chasing pack and Dettori led Opinion Poll home. "He's an honest horse and never runs a bad race," said Dettori.

Strong Suit takes Lennox Stakes with confident display

Strong Suit produced a classy display to win the Lennox Stakes at a canter. Ridden by Richard Hughes and trained by Richard Hannon, the 5-2 favourite was on the shoulder of Red Jazz but once he kicked on there was no challenge. Red Jazz held on for second, while Beacon Lodge was third. Delegator, ridden by Frankie Dettori, was never in the running. "He might be a horse for the Sussex Stakes next year," said assistant trainer Richard Hannon Jr. "I think he

Sussex Stakes can lift spirits at Goodwood

Horse racing has been shocked by the tragic demise of Rewilding when breaking a front leg near the finish of what was billed as the Flat's high-summer highlight, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Instead of taking away images of a truly great win by Nathaniel, all witnesses were left with memories of jockey Frankie Dettori being hurled to the ground, Rewilding running loose, clearly mortally injured, and screens eventually being erected aroun

Frankel and Canford Cliffs set for Goodwood showdown

Frankel and Canford Cliffs are set for a mighty duel after they featured among the four declarations for Wednesday's Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Unbeaten Frankel won the 2000 Guineas, while 2010 winner Canford Cliffs arrives on the back of a victory over Goldikova in the Queen Anne. "If I win I'll be thrilled.

Breeders` Cup Begins Drug Phase-Out in 2012

William Buick will keep Dream Ahead ride

Dream Ahead`s trainer David Simcock will remain loyal to jockey William Buick, despite Hayley Turners July Cup success with the three-year-old.
