The time has finally come for those of us who spotted a big chestnut 2yo last year to find out whether he is the real deal we think he is in this year’s 2000gns at Newmarket. The 20/1 has long gone and this imp...

The first turf group one comes along today and it really does look a good renewal of the 2000 Guineas going into it. Two unbeaten stars in Dawn Approach and Toronado line up with one at least having to drop their unbeaten record...

Less than a fortnight to Cheltenham and our thoughts are really aimed at that but a horse that I follow religiously is expected to run in The Grimthorpe chase at Doncaster on Saturday. CALGARY BAY is one of the finest looking chasers in the country will be allocated to...
