Now, he’s backing up the gelded son of Jet Master into Saturday’s Starlit Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood. The six-furlong sprint will mark the first time J J [...]

Saturday’s Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock is expected to garner a decent field as 16 are amongst the near final stage of declarations for the six furlong affair. Now in the care of Richard Hannon, the 2009 Al Quoz Sprint (G3) winner was first in a listed race at Windsor in June and recorded a [...]

After being well-regarded in the Dubai Duty Free (G1), Paco Boy (pictured below in Dubai) was back to his winning ways landing the Bet365 Mile (G2) at Sandown on Saturday. This win, as the 15-8 favorite, was the eighth from 12 lifetime starts for the son of Desert Style who was backed in the UK [...]
