Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton: "Pretty much the same - a second off or whatever it was, but for me, I struggled in both sessions. We'll just continue to go into the details to improve the balance of the car to make it easier to drive. "It's a tough car to drive but I know everyone is working hard...

Max Verstappen completed a Friday practice double at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as Fernando Alonso finished second to provide further evidence of Aston Martin's remarkable progress. Having led a Red Bull one-two from Sergio Perez in the opening session, Verstappen, who eased to victory at the...

My concern is: Can Teahupoo carry his excellent form this season into the spring festivals? I just cannot banish the memory of him tailing off in the Champion Hurdle or at Punchestown. I just don't know what to make of those runs. Was it the trip? The ground? A combination of both? Or, is he a...

I think Home By The Lee has caught horses and people alike on the hop a bit this year. Given Joseph started him at Down Royal in August, I wonder is he surprised by the horse winning a Grade One so well? There is a small feel to Home By The Lee picking up the pieces on the day this season, but...

Look, there is no doubt the trip is still a question mark but there were more positive signs in the Relkeel, beating a proper soft-ground lover and strong stayer over the distance in Dashel Drasher. A few of the geldings had penalties in that race, but so did she and she only got a pound from...

There's no doubt Blazing Khal is a good horse, though, whose form is working out along with him being at home on the track. Class and stamina are not the issue, it's just what kind of form he turns up in on the day. I don't think Charles (Byrnes) would've gone to the Boyne if he didn't think...

He maybe needed the run in the Lismullen Hurdle under a big penalty over a trip too sharp on seasonal debut, but I thought he'd come forward more in the Jack de Bromhead Christmas Hurdle. I don't know is this a deliberate ploy by Gavin to have the horse ready for one day in March or has Flooring...

With two-time champion Flooring Porter failing to get on the board since last year's Cheltenham Festival, the three-mile division has been shaken up, with a number of new faces emerging into the picture. The most intriguing of those could well be Nicky Henderson's Marie's Rock, who looks set to...

Racing cameras head to Hexham for the first time this year on Thursday, where there are strong fields galore, plus Southwell hosts a competitive all-weather card. Russell has a sound record in the contest, with two winners and a second from seven runners since 2016 and regular rider Derek Fox...

One of his rivals who is not really feeling the love sufficiently is STAGE STAR, whose win on this course in January came under a big weight and at the chief expense of one of the better-handicapped horses in training at that time, Datsalrightgino. The clock backed up the interpretation of the...

Neither Blazing Khal's nor Home By The Lee's form is especially good, though the former remains an untapped talent, unless that is you believe that Meet The Greet is a 160-rated performer despite having won just a bumper and a maiden hurdle from 15 starts. I do not. Blazing Khal had Meet And...

Simon Rowlands has already tipped up winners with The Real Whacker and Langer Dan on a terrific week of tipping to date; he takes aim at the Stayers' Hurdle and the Mares' Novices' Hurdle on an exciting Thursday of action At The Races expert pundit Simon Rowlands has enjoyed a terrific...

tipster Jones Knows is off to the races and reveals his staking plan for day three of Cheltenham with six bets on his radar. It bodes well that 14 of the last 17 winners of the Cleeve Hurdle have gone onto finish in the first four when tackling the Stayers Hurdle with five of those winning -...

"It was good for Harry (Cobden) today as he needed a confidence booster and that is a massive plus for him as he was quite down last night as it didn't work out for him. It is good for him. "We've only got 15 or 16 runners for the whole week and you have to make everyone of them count and one...

"It's been a tough week so far, but it's a tough place," said Nicholls. "We were a little bit unlucky yesterday with a couple, but that was brilliant. "Different track, slightly better ground, it was always going to suit us. I said to Harry today 'be positive, bowl along in front and ride him...

British champion trainer Paul Nicholls ended his long wait for another Cheltenham Festival winner as Stage Star stole it from the front in the Turners Novices’ Chase. Winless since Politologue's 2020 Champion Chase success, Nicholls has seen the likes of Tahmuras and Hermes Allen blow out this...

The 28-year-old added that he is targeting the back end of 2023 for a return to the octagon and though he doesn't yet know who his comeback will be against, he said he would welcome a rematch with Gordon. "I don't know if I'm going to go to UFC London or not yet because I will have a boot on...

Pimblett added: "I don't care what most armchairs say. That doesn't bother me. It's when former pros or pros - like [Nate] Diaz, or Joe Rogan - say I didn't win. "People that sit on their armchair and comment on YouTube or Instagram, I don't care about it. "I was with Chuck Liddell last week...

Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett will have surgery on March 7 on the injured ankle he sustained in a controversial points victory over Jared Gordon at UFC 282 in December; Pimblett: "I still think I won... But if everyone wants to see it again, I don't mind beating him up at the end of the year"...
