Good luck to Charlie Clover with Flowerhead, running in the Soaring Softly (Gr.3) at Saratoga this evening. 9.04pm UK time. Edgard Zayas takes the ride.
Breaking: Pierre-Charles Boudot has been acquitted of all charges relating to an allegation of rape in 2021.
Florence Gaudillière, lawyer for Pierre-Charles Boudot, said: "We have always fought to have his innocence recognised and that has finally been achieved."
@racingblogger Worth noting that, despite the stiff rise at the finish, the 6 furlong July Cup is usually run about 2 seconds quicker than the Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot due to the run downhill from the start.
@derbyDDDD12@brucemillington Rolling subs work perfectly well at all levels of hockey. They sub at the half way line and are not allowed to sub if a short corner has been awarded. The games flow freely and no advantage to just walk off.

🔵⚪️ ASFOORA is absolutely fine after her run in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock! 🇦🇺
Hopefully she can improve and come right for Royal Ascot in three weeks time.
Sad to learn of the passing of former good jockey John 'Kipper' Lynch. Highlights of his career were winning the Dewhurst on Tromos for Bruce Hobbs and the Irish Oaks on Olwyn for Ron Boss. God rest him.
Calling all racing historians: Does anyone have any information about the origins of the Champion Hurdle trophy, ie., where it was made, who made it? Chris is working on a book on the centenary of the Champion Hurdle and would like to include something about its history.
Joliestar took her first step on the journey to the Gr.1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal @Ascot when she transferred to @cwallerracing's Melbourne base this week. She will undergo a gallop at Flemington before departing for England.
It’s just under an hour after the last race and @paris_longchamp is full of young people for the latest Jeuxdi night. They made lots of noise during the Group 1 finale and plenty will be here until 1am. It’s a really positive initiative by @francegalop
@BensBetsOnX I was at Doncaster when bloke in front of me had 3,000 on a horse I fancied. Bookmaker didn't shorten it up before I put my bet on. I was impressed..
