The York Dante Meeting
There is always something a bit special about the York Dante meeting. It feels like the Flat season suddenly grows up. The Guineas are done, Royal Ascot is on the horizon, and York becomes the place where Derby dreams either catch fire or quietly disappear. The meeting starts today on the Knavesmire and as ever, […]

What Can You Take From Early Season Flat Form?
The flat turf season is finally underway, although after starting off at Doncaster last Saturday, we have to wait until Musselburgh on Saturday for the next flat turf meeting – which always feels a liitle odd. But, if you watched the racing over the weekend, you will already have felt that shift. The tempo is different, […]
