A momentous day today as Bryan saddles his final runner under his name after nearly 40ys holding a license. On Monday he’ll be joined by Beth who has assisted for the last 5ys but has been immersed in racing all her life. It’s the end of an era & the start of an exciting new one

Unfortunately we are having some trouble uploading going information this morning, along with a few other tracks.
We had 5.6mm of rain in total yesterday.
We are Good to Soft, Soft in places. It doesn’t walk too bad at the moment but further rain to come.

Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks.
Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.

St Leger winner Highwayman is out of the Melbourne Cup. Every other horse as anticipated has gone into quarantine.
International Update:
“The second seven international horses targeting the 2026 Spring Racing Carnival have entered pre-export quarantine in the UK, Ireland and Japan where they will remain for two weeks prior to travelling to Melbourne,” said RV Head of Racing, Paul Bloodworth.
“All seven hold nominations for the Melbourne Cup and have satisfied RV’s pre-travel veterinary protocols, passing a compulsory scan of their distal limbs and completing two physical veterinary examinations so far - they must undergo a final examination in PEQ. They are:
