Constitution Hill meeting fans at Sandown Park Jump Finale 2026

Constitution Hill Appearance Adds Draw to Sandown Season Finale

Racegoers attending Sandown Park on Saturday will be given an unusual chance to get up close to one of the sport’s modern greats, with Constitution Hill set to make a special appearance during the closing fixture of the jump racing season.

The 2023 Champion Hurdle winner will be present on the Summer Lawn from 11.45am, where spectators can meet the unbeaten star and take photographs alongside him. He will be joined by Step Back, the track’s official Horses for Courses ambassador, in what promises to be one of the most popular attractions of the afternoon.

The appearance forms part of a broader celebration as the 2025–26 campaign draws to a close. A Parade of Champions, scheduled for 12.30pm ahead of the first race, will bring together some of the standout performers from the season, offering fans a final look at the horses who have shaped the year.

Constitution Hill, now transitioning to a Flat racing programme after eye-catching performances at Southwell and Kempton Park, remains a central figure despite stepping away from hurdles. He will be joined in the parade by fellow Nicky Henderson-trained runners Jango Baie, winner of the Aintree Bowl and runner-up in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and Old Park Star, who ended his campaign with victory in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Attention will also fall on Dan Skelton, poised to secure his first Champion Trainer title. His representation includes Grey Dawning, a dual Grade One winner this season with victories at Haydock Park and Aintree, alongside the seasoned Protektorat, who successfully defended his title in the Fleur de Lys Chase at Windsor earlier this year.

Sandown Park’s general manager Sarah Drabwell highlighted the significance of the occasion, noting that both the meet-and-greet and the parade have become key features of the finale. She emphasised the rarity of the opportunity for fans to see Constitution Hill at close quarters, particularly as his career takes a new direction.

Saturday’s card itself will provide a fitting sporting backdrop, with a competitive programme closing out the jumps calendar. Yet, for many in attendance, the chance to connect with the season’s leading equine names—none more so than Constitution Hill—will be the lasting memory from a day that blends celebration with sport.

Leicester racecards 25 April flat racing action at Leicester Racecourse

Strong Fields Set for Engaging Afternoon at Leicester Racecourse

Flat racing returns to Leicester Racecourse on April 25 with a competitive seven-race programme featuring a mix of speed contests, handicaps, and middle-distance races. With strong fields across all divisions, the day promises engaging action for racing followers.

The opening race at 1:30 pm, The Juddmonte EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes, brings together 12 runners over five furlongs for a prize of £30,000. This early-season contest is expected to highlight emerging talent, with speed and sharp acceleration likely to play a key role on this track.

The feature event at 2:05 pm, The Caffreys Black Stout King Richard III Cup Handicap Stakes, stands out as the richest race of the day with a £50,000 prize. A competitive field of 13 runners will line up over six furlongs, headed by a highly rated colt from the Michael Appleby yard carrying top weight. Ten Pounds, a course and distance performer, adds strong credentials, while Prince of India represents a powerful stable with consistent form. Kylian and Fast Track Harry bring solid sprinting experience, and Berkshire Whisper has been knocking on the door with recent efforts.

Further depth in the race comes from Roman Dragon and Dark Cloud Rising, both capable on their day, while Zoulu Chief enters in good form and could be a serious contender. Experienced runners like Fivethousandtoone and Strike Red add further intrigue, with Betsen completing a wide-open field. With such closely matched ratings and proven sprinters throughout, this race is expected to deliver a fast and competitive finish where timing and positioning will be crucial.

At 2:44 pm, The Rekorderlig Premium Fruit Cider Handicap Stakes features seven runners over six furlongs with a prize of £10,000. The smaller field could lead to a more tactical contest, where pace judgment becomes key in determining the outcome.

The 3:19 pm race, The Alpacalypse Session IPA Handicap Stakes, sees 11 runners competing over six furlongs for £6,000. This race offers opportunities for improving horses to step forward, with consistency likely to be a deciding factor.

The card moves into middle-distance territory at 3:55 pm with The Madri Excepcional Maiden Stakes. Six runners will compete over one mile, two furlongs and 15 yards for a prize of £12,000. This race is expected to test stamina and race management, with a smaller field allowing for strategic riding.

At 4:30 pm, The Aspall Suffolk Cyder Handicap Stakes features the largest field of the day with 14 runners over the same one mile, two furlongs and 15 yards distance. With £6,000 on offer, this race is wide open, and navigating through traffic will be key in such a competitive lineup.

The final race at 5:05 pm, The Carling Handicap Stakes, concludes the card with 12 runners over seven furlongs competing for £8,000. This distance often produces exciting finishes, combining speed with endurance for a thrilling finale.

Overall, the Leicester meeting on April 25 presents a balanced and competitive day of flat racing, with the feature sprint at 2:05 pm leading a strong supporting card. From promising newcomers to experienced handicappers, the event is set to deliver an entertaining afternoon of racing.

Romantic Warrior training at Sha Tin ahead of QEII Cup 2026

Romantic Warrior Eyes Historic Fourth Win in QEII Cup 2026 at Sha Tin

Danny Shum did not attempt to dress it up. Standing on the Sha Tin turf this week, the trainer acknowledged that his stable star will have to overcome what he believes is the deepest field assembled for the race in decades if he is to extend an already remarkable record.

Romantic Warrior returns on Sunday, 26 April, chasing a fourth victory in the HK$30 million Group 1 QEII Cup (2000m), having dominated the race in 2022, 2023 and 2024. This time, however, the path is anything but straightforward. A high-class international line-up, featuring Group 1 winners Masquerade Ball, Royal Champion and Sosie, ensures that the eight-year-old faces a challenge unlike any he has encountered in recent seasons.

“I think this is the strongest QEII Cup in Hong Kong for 15 or 20 years,” Shum said. “I’m happy so many good horses have come. It’s definitely going to be a difficult race for him.”

The race forms part of a broader ambition. After a Middle Eastern campaign took precedence last year, Romantic Warrior now returns with a domestic Triple Crown bid firmly in mind. Connections opted to keep him in Hong Kong following surgery on his left fetlock joint last May, a decision that has so far been vindicated by a flawless sequence of performances.

Victories in the G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup (2000m), G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup (2000m), G1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) and G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m) underline his continued dominance. Drawn in barrier five, he heads into Sunday’s contest in peak condition after a strong piece of work earlier this week.

“He galloped really well,” Shum said. “Every time Hugh Bowman rides him, he always gives me very positive feedback. I have confidence going into the race.”

Yet the opposition demands respect. Romantic Warrior’s narrow defeat to Forever Young in the Saudi Cup earlier this year served as a reminder of the fine margins at the highest level. Shum is particularly mindful of the Japanese challenge, led by Masquerade Ball, a top-level winner with proven credentials over the distance.

“When we went to the Middle East last year, all of the Japanese horses had really good results,” he said. “I really respect all of the Japanese horses.”

Tactically, little is expected to change. Regular rider James McDonald is likely to keep things uncomplicated, allowing the horse’s natural versatility to dictate his position in running. It is a formula that has delivered 13 Group 1 victories across multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, Japan and Dubai.

Beyond the statistics, however, lies a deeper connection. Shum spoke with evident affection about the horse who has defined his stable in recent years.

“The team really, really looks after him,” he said. “Romantic Warrior is special to me, my stable and my family. I love him and he loves me too. He’s a super legend.”

Sunday’s 11-race programme at Sha Tin begins at 12.30pm with the Class 4 FWD Insurance Act Private Handicap (1200m), but the spotlight will inevitably fall on the QEII Cup, where history beckons and the margin for error is slim.

Ripon racecards 25 April flat racing action at Ripon Racecourse

Ripon Racecourse Set for Busy Saturday Led by Two Major Handicaps

Racing returns to Ripon Racecourse on April 25 with a competitive and well-structured seven-race card that promises quality action across a range of distances. The afternoon begins at 1:40 pm with the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes over six furlongs, where seven runners will compete for a prize fund of eleven thousand pounds. This opening race is expected to highlight emerging talent with speed playing a decisive role.

At 2:15 pm, the Napoleons Casino and Restaurant Leeds Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes brings together six runners over one mile one furlong and one hundred eighty two yards.

This race provides an ideal platform for lightly raced fillies to showcase their potential, with stamina and race positioning likely to be crucial. The 3:00 pm  Handicap Stakes shifts the focus to endurance, as seven runners tackle two miles and twelve yards in a Class 5 contest worth twelve thousand five hundred pounds. Long-distance races at Ripon demand patience and tactical awareness, often producing gripping finishes.

The feature contests of the day come later on the card, starting with the 3:35 pm M C H Hutchinson Memorial Trophy Handicap Stakes, one of the joint highest prize races offering thirty thousand pounds. Six runners line up over one mile four furlongs and twenty two yards, including Prydwen partnered by Darragh Keenan, Prince of The Seas ridden by David Nolan, Dancingwithmyself under Luke Morris, Ashnak with Oisin Orr, and Gibside guided by Duran Fentiman, alongside a strong David O’Meara-trained contender carrying a rating of one hundred one. This race is expected to deliver a high level of competition with a blend of stamina and tactical speed.

At 4:10 pm, the Ripon Silver Sprint Trophy Handicap Stakes shares top billing with another thirty thousand pounds on offer. Eight runners will charge over five furlongs including Dyonisos ridden by Luke Morris, Tiva partnered by Mark Winn, Castan under Sean Dylan Bowen, Dream Composer with Myla Coppins, Copper Knight guided by David Allan, Equity Law ridden by Duran Fentiman, and Vince L’Amour with Amie Waugh, joined by a leading Robert Cowell-trained sprinter carrying a rating of ninety one. This sharp sprint is expected to be one of the most thrilling races of the day with early pace and quick acceleration proving decisive.

The 4:45 pm Sue’s 60th Birthday Occasion Handicap Stakes features eleven runners over one mile and twelve yards for a prize of twelve thousand five hundred pounds, adding depth and competitiveness to the card.

The meeting concludes at 5:20 pm with the Watch Sky Sports Racing in HD Handicap Stakes over six furlongs, where ten runners will compete for ten thousand pounds, ensuring a strong and exciting finish to the day’s racing.

Ka Ying Rising racing at Sha Tin ahead of Chairman’s Sprint Prize 2026

Ka Ying Rising eyes historic 20th win in Chairman’s Sprint Prize 2026

Zac Purton will not be chasing the clock at Sha Tin on Sunday, despite guiding one of Hong Kong’s most dominant sprinters toward another landmark performance. Instead, the champion jockey’s priority is simple: secure victory and preserve Ka Ying Rising for what could become a defining campaign in modern racing.

The HK$24 million Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) forms the centrepiece of an outstanding FWD Champions Day card on 26 April, with Ka Ying Rising poised to extend his remarkable winning sequence to 20 races—an unprecedented streak for a Hong Kong-trained horse.

Purton, who partnered the superstar in his most recent success, believes the gelding is still improving, a rare trait at the elite level. His last-start victory in the Group 2 Sprint Cup on 6 April was described by the rider as a career-best effort, achieved under testing conditions while lowering his own 1200m track record to 1m 07.12s.

“He is fresh, looks good and he is ready to go on Sunday,” Purton said during trackwork at Sha Tin. “He pulls up like he has been out for a canter and recovers very quickly. His aerobic capacity is what sets him apart.”

That engine has underpinned a level of consistency rarely seen. Since returning from international competition, Ka Ying Rising has repeatedly produced ratings at the top end of the scale, peaking at 130 in his latest outing.

What sets him apart, however, is not just dominance—but progression. “Most horses reach a level early and plateau,” Purton noted. “I’ve never ridden one that has continued to improve like he has.”

There has been external pressure to chase history in another form. Messages urging Purton to crack the elusive 1m 06s barrier arrive regularly, but both rider and trainer are aligned in their approach this weekend.

“Last start, the record came because the race set up that way,” Purton explained. “You don’t force those things. I’d prefer he wins without going to the bottom of the barrel so he can come out of it well.”

Trainer David Hayes echoed that sentiment, emphasising flexibility rather than fixation. Drawn in barrier three for the first time over 1200 metres, Ka Ying Rising is expected to benefit from a low gate in what is likely to be a compact field of eight.

“With his tactical speed, he can adapt,” Hayes said. “If they go hard, he can sit. If they go steady, he can lead.”

Beyond Sunday, the long-term outlook continues to intrigue. While sprint races in Hong Kong and Australia offer rich opportunities, Hayes has not ruled out stretching the gelding’s range.

“With his heart and lung capacity, a mile wouldn’t be an issue,” he said. “But we’ll take it one race at a time. If he remains healthy into another unbeaten season, we might explore further.”

Sunday’s 11-race programme begins at 12:30pm with the Class 4 FWD Insurance Act Private Handicap (1200m), building toward a feature that could further cement Ka Ying Rising’s place among the sport’s modern greats.

The focus, for now, remains firmly on winning—not records.

Damon’s Mound racing at Gulfstream Park in sprint stakes action

Damon’s Mound Returns to Florida-Bred Company in FHBPA Sprint

A busy Saturday card at Gulfstream Park brings together some of the state’s most accomplished runners, with multiple six-figure races offering a platform for proven performers and returning stars alike.

For Cliff and Michele Love, placing a horse of Damon’s Mound’s calibre has rarely been straightforward. An eight-time stakes winner and millionaire, the six-year-old has often faced open company at the highest level, but Saturday’s $100,000 FHBPA Sprint over 6½ furlongs presents a more tailored opportunity against fellow Florida-breds.

Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, Damon’s Mound enters the race in steady form, having already shown his affinity for Gulfstream this season. He opened his campaign with victory in the Sunshine Sprint in January, a performance made more notable as it came after a 13-month absence. Since then, he has remained competitive in deeper company, finishing second in the Gulfstream Park Sprint before returning to winning ways at Tampa Bay Downs in late March.

“He’s a nice horse. He’s very special, and we really like him,” Cliff Love said, reflecting on a runner whose consistency has defined his career. “I’m amazed at the talent he’s got.”

Drawn widest in Post 8 and reunited with Junior Alvarado, Damon’s Mound is expected to be prominent late, particularly if the early pace proves testing. The extended sprint distance is familiar territory, though he has not tackled 6½ furlongs since finishing fourth in last year’s Parx Sprint. His earlier success at the trip, including a Grade 2 win at Saratoga, underlines his versatility.

Chief among his rivals is Flood Zone, who was third behind him at Tampa and now seeks to close that gap. The four-year-old has steadily developed into a reliable performer, already boasting a graded success and showing adaptability across sprint distances.

Classic of Course adds further depth to the field. Drawn on the inside, he brings a strong record at Gulfstream, with seven top-three finishes from nine starts over the main track. His tactical flexibility could prove valuable in a race where positioning will be key.

The remainder of the field—Carambaso, Hurricane Nelson, Nothingsubtle, Joey Muscles and Neshume—complete a competitive line-up that blends established form with outsider potential.

Earlier on the card, attention turns to the $100,000 FHBPA Filly & Mare Sprint, where Nic’s Style attempts to convert a series of near-misses into victory. The six-year-old has finished runner-up in her last four starts, each effort marked by determination but lacking the final edge.

Her career has been punctuated by interruptions, yet she has repeatedly returned to form. Trainer Stephen Rousseau remains optimistic despite the setbacks.

“She’s been a roller coaster ride,” he admitted. “But she’s a joy. For me it’s been a pleasure.”

Nic’s Style faces a familiar and formidable opponent in Mystic Lake, a multiple graded winner with a record that speaks for itself. Carrying top weight, she brings both class and experience, though her recent outing at Keeneland suggests she may still be finding her best rhythm this season.

Also lining up are Girvin Star, Poiema, Just a Philly, and stablemates Happy Ride and Love Actually, each adding further intrigue to a race that could hinge on race fitness and timing rather than outright ability.

With six stakes races restricted to Florida-breds on the programme, Saturday’s meeting offers a focused showcase of regional talent. For horses like Damon’s Mound and Nic’s Style, it is not just another race day, but an opportunity to reaffirm their standing among the best in their division.

Alexis Badel celebrating 300 Hong Kong wins at Happy Valley

Milestone Night for Badel Ahead of Chairman’s Sprint Prize Test

Alexis Badel brought up a notable personal milestone at Happy Valley on Wednesday night, guiding home a late double to record his 300th winner in Hong Kong and cap a productive return to the saddle following suspension.

The French rider, who has steadily built a reputation for consistency in the city’s competitive ranks, closed the meeting with victories aboard The Auspicious and Jubilant Winner, striking in quick succession to reach the landmark. It was a moment that arrived with little warning, even to the jockey himself.

“It’s great,” Badel said afterwards. “Eva, my wife, told me I was close to 300, but I didn’t realise how close I actually was. I didn’t come to the races thinking I would achieve it tonight. Coming back from suspension, it’s always good to ride winners and I’m very happy.”

His achievement comes just days before he faces one of the sternest assignments of the season — partnering Beauty Waves against the formidable Ka Ying Rising in Sunday’s HK$24 million Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) at Sha Tin. Badel, a two-time winner of the race aboard Wellington in 2021 and 2022, acknowledged the scale of the task ahead.

“Beauty Waves is a very nice horse. He’s got quality and he’s fighting against the top horses right now,” he said. “He ran a good race the other day and I am looking for another good run from him.”

Wednesday’s double was anchored by a strong performance from The Auspicious, who continued his fine campaign with a fourth win of the season in the Class 3 Oncidium Handicap (1800m). Settled near the rear turning for home, the gelding produced a sustained finish down the centre of the track to claim his fifth career success.

Moments later, Jubilant Winner completed the brace for trainer Jamie Richards with a decisive front-running display in the Class 3 Roselle Handicap (1200m), registering his fourth victory of the campaign.

Elsewhere on the card, visiting rider Ethan Brown made an immediate impact, partnering Shooting To Top to victory in the Class 4 Geranium Handicap (1650m) for trainer Cody Mo. It was just his third ride in Hong Kong.

“I’m over the moon,” Brown said. “Everything worked out really well. We found a good position and he was too strong in the finish.”

Brown spoke candidly about the demands of Happy Valley’s tight configuration but expressed confidence in adapting quickly. “It’s a very quick and tight track. You have to be on your A game, but I’m picking it up as I go.”

Trainer John Size continued his steady climb up the championship standings as Nebraskan broke through for his first Hong Kong success in the Class 5 Flamingo Flower Handicap (1200m) under Andrea Atzeni. The victory marked Size’s 41st of the campaign, keeping him within range of the leading group headed by Caspar Fownes.

David Hayes and Zac Purton combined effectively with Vigor Eye in the Class 4 Lavender Handicap (1200m), while Purton later secured a double aboard Thunder Prince in the Class 4 Lusitano Challenge Cup Handicap.

Jerry Chau strengthened his position in the Tony Cruz Award standings with a win aboard Podium in the Class 5 Freesia Handicap (1650m), extending his lead over Vincent Ho.

Danny Shum also enjoyed a timely boost as King Profit delivered from a wide draw in the Class 4 Heather Handicap (1000m), while Casa Of Honor notched his first local success in the Class 3 Kalanchoe Handicap (1000m) for trainer Michael Chang.

Attention now turns to Sha Tin on Sunday, where FWD Champions Day will showcase three Group 1 contests — the Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m), Champions Mile (1600m), and QEII Cup (2000m) — with Badel’s milestone fresh in the memory as he prepares for another high-stakes test at the top level.

Haydock Park Set for £140,000 Seven-Race Flat Card on 25 April

One of the North West’s most reliable and well-regarded flat racing venues, Haydock Park will host a competitive seven-race card on Saturday, 25 April, with a well-balanced programme combining novice contests, handicaps, and sprint races across a variety of distances. The meeting will carry a total prize fund exceeding £140,000, with racing scheduled to begin at 1:25 PM and conclude at 4:55 PM, offering a steady progression from middle-distance contests to late sprint finishes.

Opening the afternoon’s proceedings, the Darley EBF Novice Stakes (Class 2) will take place at 1:25 PM over 1m 3f 204y, with £40,000 in prize money on offer. A compact field of four runners—Pursuit of Love, Ravenspire, Poker, and Quiet Summer will line up for this extended middle-distance test. With such a small field assembled, the pace is expected to be measured, placing emphasis on tactical awareness and positioning before the race develops in the closing stages.

Shortly afterwards, the EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes (Class 4) will be run at 2:00 PM over a distance of 1m 51y, carrying a prize fund of £10,000. Eight runners are set to go to post, including Silken Bay, Symbol of Majesty, Brighton Beach, Chimes of Thunder, Forbidden Colours, Golden Mabel, and Mountain of Light. This contest will bring together lightly raced fillies, and the step up in experience for several runners is expected to make for a competitive and informative race.

Taking centre stage on the card, the Handicap Stakes (Class 2) will be contested at 2:35 PM over 7f 51y, with £50,000 in prize money. A strong and competitive field of 12 runners will feature, including Henlein, Marshman, Cerulean Bay, Caburn, Great Acclaim, Khafiz, and Sarab Star. The combination of a large field and a sharp sprint distance is likely to ensure a well-run race, where pace, positioning, and timing will all play significant roles in determining the outcome.

Attention will then shift to middle-distance handicapping at 3:10 PM with the Handicap Stakes (Class 4), run over 1m 2f 114y for a prize of £12,000. Ten runners are declared, including Cavolo Nero, Winter Flower, Naples, Ouro Preto, Roarin’ Success, Empire of Light, and Ted Le Saux. This race will present a more measured tempo compared to the earlier sprint, with stamina and race management expected to be key factors across the extended trip.

Building further into the afternoon, the Handicap Stakes (Class 4) will take place at 3:45 PM over 1m 51y, again offering £12,000 in prize money. Nine runners are expected to line up, featuring Strength of Spirit, Mr Seagull, See Blue, Go Rimbaud, Electrical, Commanding Officer, and Spiritoftheblues. With the mile distance often favouring well-balanced performers, consistency and the ability to sustain a strong finish are likely to prove decisive.

Sprint specialists will come to the fore at 4:20 PM in the Handicap Stakes (Class 5), a £10,000 contest run over 6f. A sizeable field of 13 runners will take part, including Paranjape, G’Emmethegreenlite, Flash Rascal, Stoic Poet, Whiskey Kisses, Houndhill, and Black Endeavour. The nature of the sprint distance, combined with the larger field, is expected to produce a strongly run race with early pace likely to influence the final outcome.

Concluding the afternoon’s racing, the Handicap Stakes (Class 5) will be run at 4:55 PM over 6f, also for £10,000. Eleven runners are set to line up, including Cherry Cobbler, The Childe of Hale, Judicature, Fiscal Policy, Good Earth, Margorie, and Dandy Dinmont. As with the earlier sprint, pace and positioning will be critical, with the race expected to provide a competitive and fast-paced finish to the day’s programme.

The Haydock Park Race Cards 25 April will present a structured and competitive afternoon of racing, combining quality novice contests with well-contested handicaps across varied distances. With a strong mix of field sizes and race types, the Haydock Park Race Cards 25 April will offer a comprehensive test for runners and provide a balanced and engaging programme from start to finish.

Bringing the meeting to its conclusion, the Battle of the Dardanelles Handicap will take place at 4:50 PM over 1600 metres for three-year-olds and above, with a purse of $160,000.
