  • DROP IN TRIP SHOULD SUIT FLYER

    FANCY FLYER is the yard’s sole runner today when lining up in the 5.25 at Kempton, a 6f handicap and the drop down in trip should suit. He won well two starts ago over 7f at Lingfield on the all-weather and then ran rather too keenly on the turf at the same course nine days… Read more »

  • NEWBURY HOSPITALITY A BIG SUCCESS

    SOLARIO RACING played host to owners and guests yesterday with hospitality at the first day of Newbury’s Dubai Duty Free week end and a wonderful afternoon was had by all on an unseasonably warm, autumnal afternoon. As ever on Solario Racing hospitality days at the Berkshire track, the day began in the Racegoers’ Restaurant with a champagne… Read more »

  • DANCINGINTHEWOODS STEPS INTO NURSERY COMPANY

    DANCINGINTHEWOODS returns to the racecourse tomorrow in a 0-90 nursery after an 84-day absence and he’s not without a chance in an open 11-runner 7f handicap. The 2yo Garswood colt’s form is very good.  His 50/1 win at HQ has thrown up six individual winners who have won 11 times between them while his fourth… Read more »

  • YIMOU FAVOURITE TO LAND FOUR-TIMER

    YIMOU goes in search of a four-timer in the lucky last at Yarmouth today (4.50pm) and he is a warm favourite to ge the job done. The 4yo son of Kodiac has been most progressive this year and has won his last three starts comfortably, all over 6f, all on good to firm ground, which he… Read more »

  • FRANKEL STARS IN PRIVATE VISIT TO BANSTEAD MANOR

    FRANKEL was undoubtedly the star attraction yesterday in an exclusive private visit organised for Solario Racing owners to Prince Khalid Abdullah’s Banstead Manor Stud. Solario Racing was delighted to have the opportunity to see at first hand not only Frankel but other leading stallions in the Juddmonte Farms roster including Oasis Dream, still going strong… Read more »

  • TEMERAIRE MAJOR CHANCE AT LINGFIELD

    FIGHTING TEMERAIRE, one of three stable runners today, has a great chance of getting back on the scoresheet when lining up at Lingfield today at 4.45pm. He was third at Newmarket last time in a bid to complete a hat-trick but that was a better contest than today’s 0-75 7f handicap and should go close… Read more »

  • MILE A CONCERN FOR ELJADDAAF

    ELJADDAAF runs in a mile handicap at Kempton tonight (7.45pm) and although a course winner, he is usually happier over six or seven furlongs. The nine-times winning son of Shamardal also has to contend with 195-day absence, so he faces a tall order under Joey Haynes who rides him for the first time.  It is… Read more »

  • GREGORIAN GIRL HOPING TO BREAK SEQUENCE OF SECONDS

    GREGORIAN GIRL, second in her last three runs, is hoping to go one better at Chelmsford today in the 5.40 at Chelmsford. The 3yo filly is one of eight runners in an apprentice handicap over 7f and she has the services of the excellent, Cieren Fallon, son of fthe ormer champion jockey, Kieren. She is… Read more »

  • LOTHARIO HAS ODDS ON FAVOURITE TO BEAT

    LOTHARIO runs today at Chelmsford in the two o’clock, a five-runner handicap over a mile and it looks as though he has the favourite, Solar Heights to beat. He has won three times on the polytrack this year all over a mile including a course and distance success back in May.  While he’s not always… Read more »

  • FRANKIE ABOARD STAKE ACCLAIM IN DEAUVILLE

    MAN OF THE MOMENT, Lanfranco Dettori rides Stake Acclaim in Deauville this afternoon (1.35 UK time) in a Group 3 over 6f. The stable runner is one of ten runners in the Prix de Meutry Barriere and he is 6/1 third favourite.  The drying ground will not aid his chances but the assistance of the… Read more »
