Tominator surges to victory in Northumberland Plate

Tominator sprang a surprise for veteran trainer Reg Hollinshead and apprentice Paul Pickard in the John Smith's Northumberland Plate at Newcastle. Last year's winner Overturn made another brave attempt to make all the running but was swallowed up by the field in the last couple of furlongs. Totally unexposed at the trip, it was 25-1 shot Tominator who surged home at the end of the two-mile stamina test. Montaff (18-1) was beaten by a length and three-quar

Banksters Bonus wins Ulster Derby at Down Royal

A well-timed challenge saw Banksters Bonus win the Ulster Derby at Down Royal on Saturday. The winner, trained by Jessica Harrington and ridden by Shane Foley, was the only three-year-old in the nine-strong field in the feature. Banksters Bonus, sent-off at 9-2, got up to beat the Dermot Weld-trained Force of Habit with Denny Crane in third place. Kildare trainer Harrington had won the race in 2008 with Fantoche.

Horse Power: Injured Paul Hanagan experiences the downs of racing

THE ups and downs of life in the saddle were again put into sharp focus yesterday when ECHO columnist Paul Hanagan was ruled out of the final day of Royal Ascot with a neck injury. The champion jockey has been on the crest of a wave for some time, winning the title last year and setting the pace this as well as some landmark triumphs. But he experienced the downside this week, drawing a blank in his bid to add to his two previous Royal Ascot winners. Aft

Royal Ascot: Immortal Verse storms to win in Coronation Stakes

Gerald Mosse brought his mount from last to first to land the Group One contest for trainer Robert Collet, whose son Rod trained the runner-up Nova Hawk. The 8-1 chance Immortal Verse swooped round the outside of the field to win by two-and-a-quarter lengths from the 9-2 shot Nova Hawk.

Paul Hanagan: I`m heading back north after a painful Royal Ascot

After four days at Royal Ascot, champion jockey and ECHO racing columnist Paul Hanagan heads to Scotland tomorrow in pursuit of winners. IT'S been a torrid week at Royal Ascot I have to admit. It just brings home how difficult a meeting it is at which to have winners, and I had plenty of frustrations over the first three days. I also woke yesterday at 5am with a spasm in my neck, and had physio before riding on Thursday afternoon. I'm not sure how the inju

Royal Ascot: Michael Owen`s tears of joy at winner

One had shed tears. The other sported jet-black wraparound shades which cast a cloak over his innermost thoughts. But both footballer Michael Owen and trainer Aidan O'Brien proved leading men on Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot. Manchester United striker Owen showed the emotion - clearly choked at the success of Brown Panther, a horse he bred and owns, in Thursday's last race, the King George V Stakes.

Top Irish trainer O'Brien had savoured victory

Royal Ascot: Frankie Dettori handed nine-day ban

Rewilding came from behind to beat the favourite So You Think at the meeting.

Royal Ascot: Hayley Turner relishes Ladies` Day

As Royal Ascot prepares for Ladies' Day, one lady is hoping she can beat the men to claim her first winner at the meeting. Hayley Turner is a rarity in sport. A woman competing against the opposite sex at the highest level on equal terms. The 28-year-old has broken new ground in riding more than 100 winners in a year. A pioneer who has helped inspire a new generation of female riders.

But what the Nottingham-born jockey craves is a winner on the

Royal Ascot: Kieren Fallon returns to Royal Ascot

Stablemate Jan Vermeer, Twice Over, and Planteur are among his rivals on day two at Ascot. Mohammed Al Zarooni runs Debussy and Rewild

Royal Ascot: Frankel celebrates magnificent seven

Frankel may not have produced the sort of unhindered procession which the Queen enjoys but in his own way, the colt demonstrated his enormous ability when winning at Royal Ascot. "Put it this way, if the race was run in another half hour, he would have been ridden completely differently," said trainer Sir Henry Cecil after victory on the meeting's opening day. The 10-times champion trainer let out a puff of his cheeks and raised his eyes towards the brim

Race Day Medication Summit Digs Into Salix

Jockey Ryan Moore rides 687-1 York five-timer

His 687-1 five-timer included the last four races on the seven-race card. Moore now leads the race to become York's top jockey for the year, his winners tally having shot up to eight.

"It's a marvellous day for Ryan, everyone knows he's an exceptionally talented rider," said York's head of marketing James Br

Isabel Tompsett continues to progress in her recovery from a terrible fall at Fakenham last month.

Isabel Tompsett parted company with Leopold in the Aylsham Show-Bank Holiday 29th August Lady Amateur Riders' Handicap Hurdle. She was initially taken to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, but subsequently moved to Addenbrooke's in Cambridge and her family are now hoping she will soon be moved to a specialist unit in Swansea.

Belmont Stakes Contender Nehro to Undergo Surgery

Nehro, the fourth place finisher in the June 11 Belmont Stakes, will undergo surgery for a nonlife-threatening injury likely sustained during the final jewel of the Triple Crown.

"We didn't see it until the next morning," said attending veterinarian James Hunt, DVM. "That's generally the way

Royal Ascot: Frankel jockey Tom Queally on racing`s new star

Racing has a rich history of so-called talking horses. The sport is continually looking for the next big thing, often with ill-founded hype followed by disappointment. This year has been different as one talking horse - Frankel - has done his talking on the track. Winning the first Classic of the season by six lengths was proof enough that this colt was special, but the way he had the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket sewn up by halfway marked it out as exception

Royal Ascot: Frankel primed for glory for Sir Henry Cecil

Brilliant 2,000 Guineas winner Frankel will head a field of nine runners in the St James's Palace Stakes on the opening day of Royal Ascot on Tuesday. The unbeaten colt, trained by newly-knighted Sir Henry Cecil, is the leading equine attraction as the racecourse celebrates its 300th year. Jockey Tom Queally told BBC Sport: "You never know what will happen in racing, but I'm quietly hopeful there won't be any change in his form."

Longshot Ruler On Ice Steals the Belmont Stakes

A sealed, speed-favoring sloppy track and bad racing luck endured by the favorite combined to allow 24-1 longshot Ruler On Ice to claim a stunning victory in the 143rd running of the Belmont Stakes June 11.
Ruler On Ice is a gelded son of Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms’ Roman Ruler out of Champagne Glow (by Saratoga Six). He was bred in Kentucky by Liberation Farm and Brandywine Farm and is owned by George and Lori Hall, who purchased Ruler On Ice for $100,000 as a

Henry Cecil: Racing trainer honoured with knighthood

Ten champion-trainer titles, 72 Royal Ascot wins and four victories in the Derby at Epsom tell only a small part of the Cecil story. The 68-year-old slumped from training king to also-ran, and bounced back again. During a terrible few years he went through a divorce from his second wife, the death of his alcoholic twin brother David and a fall from the top of the training perch. He failed to land a Group One race between 2001 and 2005, and plummeted to 94t

KHRC Rejects Request From Trainer Dutrow`s Attorney

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) on June 8 unanimously rejected a request from trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. to withdraw his application for a license to race in the state in 2011. Dutrow, who is facing disciplinary action in New York, had his license application rejected by the KHRC's license review committee on April 13 after a one-hour hearing in which Dutrow was questioned about the lengthy list of violations on his record--including numerous equi

Nicky Henderson set to face BHA inquiry

Trainer Nicky Henderson will face a British Horseracing Authority hearing after his runner Heather Royal tested positive for a banned substance in February. A urine sample revealed the presence of dexamethasone after the horse was unplaced in a bumper race at Huntingdon. Henderson won the Cheltenham Gold Cup for the first time with Long Run in March.

The BHA has indicated a fine is normally most likely if a rule has been breached in similar case

Trainer Runs Horse to Exhaustion, Has License Revoked

Stewards at Prairie Meadows Racetrack in Altoona, Iowa, have revoked the license of Thoroughbred racehorse trainer Joseph Louis Nealon, saying the action is necessary to "protect the public's health, safety, and welfare and to protect the public from a person who should not hold a trainer's license." The stewards' ruling came after the Nealon-trained horse Boty's Banana was eased at the three-eighths pole and vanned off during the first race at the Iowa tr

Uncle Mo to Begin Light Training Next Week

Uncle Mo, the champion 2-year-old male of 2010, continues to exhibit positive signs of improving health and is on target to resume light training in about 10 days, WinStar Farm president and racing manager Elliott Walden said June 7. Owned by Mike Repole and trained by Todd Pletcher, Uncle Mo has been at WinStar Farm near Versailles, Ky., since May 9 when he was shipped from Churchill Downs after being scratched from the Kentucky Derby.
