Non-stop action today!

Today is the busiest day of the year with high class racing at several different racecourses. Obviously the highlight is the Breeders Cup this evening from Churchill Downs, but punters need not get bored with the 40/45 minutes intervals betwen races there, as there is also all-weather racing from Dundalk (Ireland) and evening racing in France from Le Croise´-Laroche (with quite a few German runners).

In England we have the last day of the flat season at Doncaster, with the battle between Paul Hanagan and Richard Hughes for the jockeys championship still undecided; They both rode 3 winners yesterday, and Hanagan leads by 191-189. However Hughes has arguably the better rides this afternoon, so there is still everything to play for.

There is also a strong N.H. programme with Kauto Star making his seasonal reappearance at Down Royal (N. Ireland), but also some good jumping racing at Wincanton, Kelso and Sandown.
