Paddington wins the St James Palace Stakes

Cant Understand why Frankie tried to make all the running you cant do that at Ascot over a mile.

Royal champion over bolshoi ballet in the Wolferton stakes. Is it just me or do they pull the horses up pretty quick after the races

Uhhhhh

I heard in an interview last week that Aussie training duo Ciaron Maher and David Eustace have over 700 horses in training

Re: Appleby having so many and Bin Suroor so few… is anyone actually surprised or upset? One is the number one private trainer for the largest operation in the world, and the other has had two English G1 wins in the last 10 years, which happens to coincide with when Godolphin stopped buying proven G1 winners in training and sending them to Bin Suroor.

For being one of the biggest owners in Ireland, Rich Ricci has a very relatable way of watching his horses race:

I have finally watched the King's Stand all the way through....and I don't understand how the stewards didn't think Holly Doyle shoving Highfield Princess halfway across the track was worth a DQ. And halfway across Ascot's straight course is a lot of distance.

I feel bad for HP's connections, who IMHO have a right to feel robbed after the mugging their filly suffered.

Frankie Dettori received a 9 day ban for careless riding on Saga in the Wolverton Stakes yesterday.

He will miss the ride on Emily Upjohn in the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown next Month.

Mawj will miss the Coronation Stakes on Friday due to a setback, she scoped dirty and is coughing, so no rematch with Tahiyra

Below is what was said in the inquiry, broadcast on ITV . . .

Jason Hart

I felt at the furlong pole I was coming with a winning run but then I've been continuously taken off my intended line approaching the finish. During the last quarter of a furlong, I was never really able to get into a position to utilise her finishing kick.

I thought I was coming with a winning run when I came alongside the girth of Bradsell, but for the last two strides I had to watch what I was doing.

Hollie Doyle

I was up on the girth of Highfield Princess throughout and Bradsell picked up really well when I went to win my race. Approaching the line, I could feel him lugging left so I pulled my stick through to my left hand – I think he was just looking at the crowd towards the exit.

I've used my right hand to try to straighten him up as best I could but I think he was winning going away in the end and he never actually made any contact with Highfield Princess.

He was running straight but as soon as he went to go left, I brought my stick through and I couldn't do much more. I was hanging off the side of him to try to keep him straight. It was the stride before the line when he really wanted to go to the exit. It was quite hard because he wanted to go sideways rather than forwards.

That was a really tight race. I think Crimson Advocate won.

I agree- that was pretty egregious
