After Race 1 @EpsomRacecourse, the Going was changed to Good to Soft on the Derby Course (from Good to Soft, Good in places) and Good to Soft, Good in places on the 5 Furlong Course (from Good, Good to Soft in places).
Plenty of effort made to reinvigorate Epsom this year with lots of new structures. But it all still revolves around the most famous winning post in racing

We wish Captain Guinness the best of luck as he sets off to start his 2nd career and a very pampered retirement.
He’s been a firm yard favourite, and gave us an unforgettable day winning The 2024 Champion Chase - a race he ran in 4 times, finishing 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st.

Really sad to report that we lost one of our star horses Crowd Quake, he had a heart attack doing routine work. He was a sensational horse for us & a massive character, he leaves a huge hole in our hearts
Following pulling up in 5.15pm @yorkracecourse Friday, Weheedd was assessed by racecourse vets in the stables & cleared to travel with his stablemates back to his yard on Friday evening. He walked off the horse box at home, is reported weight bearing, bright, eating & drinking.
