A solid start for #TattsOctober Book 1 purchase Charlie's Cannon to win on debut for Palmont, @RalphBeckett & @Rossaryan15 👏
The son of New Bay was secured for 110,000gns by @A_C_Elliott from Redpender Stud.
@racingoncourse The person most at fault was whoever took the surcingle off the jockey in the unsaddling enclosure (if indeed such an unbelievably stupid action did indeed take place as described in the stewards’ report - it’s hard to believe that anyone would actually do that).
A brilliant return from CENTIGRADE, who swept past the field at Southwell this evening under Edward Greatrex for trainer Ralph Beckett after 601 days off the track. Great to see him back in the winners’ enclosure 🏆
Many congratulations to his owners in The Buzzard Syndicate 👏🏼
Treasure Time…
Breathe Easy… Undiscovered…
Having initially focused on Horses In Training purchases, our yearling programme is just beginning. All three to date have been highly successful, with the @RalphBeckett-trained Undiscovered putting up a dominant performance on debut at Salisbury last week.

Welcome to the team, Richard! 🇫🇷🌍
The NHF @Southwell_Races yesterday was worth 25% more than the same race in 2016. Over the same period the minimum wage cost for 21-25yo’s has risen by 83% and the cost of feed by approx 65%. These are core costs for trainers but don’t forget ERNIC, energy etc which have also risen exponentially. To an extent this is reflected in increased fees but poor returns is why Owner base is shrinking followed by the Training & Breeding industries.
Over the same time period the total income from the betting industry to racing (levy, media rights and sponsorship) is estimated to have risen from £220m to £425m (+£205m). Total prize money in 2016 was £137.6m and in 2025 was £195m (+£57.4m). Surely Prize Money should have risen in line with income from bookmakers?
The reality appears to be a shortfall of approx £150m which is why participants feel shortchanged and are wondering where all the money is going? (Figures not guaranteed to be 100% accurate but they tell the story of why we are where we are)

@RalphBeckett will be delighted with that one, taking the British Stallion Studs EBF Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes

Royal Ascot is surely on the agenda for the daughter of Too Darn Hot.

Good letter in the RP today. At the risk of sounding repetitive but @BHAHorseracing have stitched up Doncaster with the idiotic flat jockeys championship. It should start with the Lincoln & end with the November handicap, not only are they both at Donny, so is the Futurity the
It is striking that the extremist case for banning greyhound racing always seems to rely on lies, misleading statistics and outdated information. It is vital that these ignorant narcissistic virtue signallers are always called out, and that MPs are given the actual facts.
Constitution Hill or not, who is looking forward to the G3 Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes @NewburyRacing on Saturday? Similarly the G3 Dubai Duty Free Stakes earlier? Grateful to Dubai Duty Free for their kind sponsorship, but the names of John Porter and Fred Darling, two of Britain's greatest trainers, should still feature in the race titles. Heritage matters. It really is a simple fix @BHAHorseracing.
