FIGHTING TEMERAIRE WINS AT HUGE 33/1!
FIGHTING TEMERAIRE, the rank outsider of an eleven-runner field won at 33/1 last night at Lingfield and so recorded his seventh career success. How did he go off at such huge odds?

BIG DAY IN BERKSHIRE FOR HARPER LODGE FARM
DEAN sends out four runners today at two Berkshire tracks, Ascot and Royal Windsor and he’s hoping at least one of the four arrows hits the target. Flaming Spear is a 25/1 shot in the opening race of the Royal Ascot meeting, the fiendishly difficult 24-runner Buckingham Palace Handicap. The Tony Bloom-owned chestnut gelding is talented… Read more »
