With the 7/2 unbeaten favourite Rushing Fall drawn wide in stall 11, there surely must be a bet in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar on Friday night. Del Mar receives ten inches of rain all year, so we can expect rattling fast ground and a real emphasis…

Aidan O’Brien broke Bobby Frankel’s long-standing record for most Group One wins in a season on Saturday, and he’s now out to extend that record with runners in France today. Nelson, whose sire Frankel is named after the legendary trainer, had his form comprehensively franked in Saturday’s record-breaking Racing Post Trophy…

Aidan O’Brien looks to break Bobby Frankel’s world record for Group One victories on the flat this Saturday, sending four over to Doncaster to tackle the mile-long Racing Post Trophy for two-year-olds. Chief hope according to both jockey bookings and the betting market is the Japanese-bred Saxon Warrior, with Ryan…

July Cup and Haydock Sprint Cup winner Harry Angel casts a long shadow over the market for Europe’s richest sprint, the Champions Sprint Stakes on Ascot’s Champions Day card. He was absolutely brilliant at Haydock and nothing even got close to him on the day, powering through the heavy ground…

Royal Ascot winning three-year-old STRADIVARIUS looks an outstanding bet at 9/1 in the opening Long Distance Cup on Ascot’s Champions Day card. Up against the last two winners of the Group One Ascot Gold Cup – Big Orange and Order Of St George – and despite being second favourite, he’s been…

Ghaiyyath trades 2/1 favourite for the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday but I’m not sure that’s the right price after just a course and distance maiden success. He looked pretty good and favouritism is fairly justified, but I’m happy to take him on with Charlie Hills’s WAFY at 8/1. He too…

I rate Aidan O’Brien’s Royal Ascot-winning filly SEPTEMBER very highly, and at 15/2 she looks overpriced for Group One glory in today’s Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket. Her stablemates Magical and Happily, the latter now a dual-Group One winner, have finished in front of her in her previous two starts on soft ground…

I won’t waste time telling you how worthy a favourite Enable is for this year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, as she has the best form in the race and fits the perfect profile for a potential Arc winner. She isn’t the only three-year-old filly to have easily beaten her…

Race two on Arc day and the two-year-old colts tackle a mile in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere – except Aidan O’Brien has declared his Group One winning filly Magical. She has a big chance and it’s probably worth waiting to see how the horse she narrowly beat last time out…
