Royal Ascot selections Thursday 16th June We have reached the middle day of Royal Ascot and today sees the Blue Riband event of the week, the Gold Cup. I think this year’s renewal is a fascinating one and a wide open affair, and for that reason I have two...
Royal Ascot selections Wednesday 15th June Things are warming up nicely at Ascot and the second day of the Royal meeting brings one of the betting highlights of the week in the Hunt Cup. I have three selections for the contest including an 8yo bidding to become the oldest...

The biggest race in Europe, the Prix De L’Arc de Triomphe is upon us again this weekend. The best middle-distance horses from Britain, Ireland, France and beyond meet up to effectively decide the 12f champion of the world.
