Ahead of Tuesday’s (20th June) Royal Ascot, Betfair Ambassador Ryan Moore runs through the first days’ racecard allowing his thoughts and tips on each race. Queen Anne Stakes, Lusail at 14:30 I think the betting has this right, with Lockinge winner Modern Games having very solid claims – it is very hard to see him not being involved – and Inspiral is clearly right up there at her best, which came first time up at this meeting last season. I’d marginally favour Inspiral of that pair, but they don’t set…

Co-trainer Sam Freedman believes that Artorius is the one to beat in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, the highlight on the final day of Royal Ascot. Artorius came from near last to dead-heat for third in the six-furlong showpiece 12 months ago and arrives on the back of two excellent performances so far this year. The Australian challenger registered a second G1 success in the Canterbury Stakes at Randwick on 4th March and was only three-quarters of a length behind Anamoe when fourth in the G1 George Ryder Stakes at…

Flat horse racing - UK horses racing on grass

Flat racing is what most non-racing fans consider to be horse racing. Flat racing is run on a fixed flat course. Unlike steeple chase racing, it doesn’t involve obstacles and is purely concerned with first past the post amongst a group of horses (The field). Flat racing is designed to test the stamina of the horse and jockey alongside the riding skill of the jokey. That may sound a bit of a simple test, but there is more to it than that. Sometimes it’s all about the handicap Running a…

June 8, 2023June 8, 2023 Stuart Burns

It’s never nice to report on a respected club with over 180 years of history closing its door. Unfortunately, the Singapore Turf Club has had to start the process of doing just that.

News of closure has led to outcries by many of overreach by the government. However, the flip side of the argument is that Covid has taken a heavy…
