Newsboy's horseracing tips for Thursday's six meetings, including Southwell Nap
REGINALD CHARLES looks ripe for a hat-trick when he faces nine opponents for the GB Civil Engineering Handicap (4.45) at Southwell on Thursday.
The son of Zoustar missed the target on his first 16 attempts and was limited to just one outing in 2024.
But Reginald Charles has come good for a move to Geoff Oldroyd, enjoying a red-letter day with a half-length call from Portoro over this course and distance at the end of January
The runner-up gave the form a buff up by going one better next time and Reginald Charles followed up at Newcastle last time out.
Sent off the 10-11 favourite for a seven-furlong handicap, my selection had too many guns for Keep Me Stable, scoring by a length and three-quarters.
There's a 6lb rise in the weights to deal with here but PJ McDonald's mount is thriving and is expected to go in again.
Archie Watson's team are flying and TWAFEEG is of interest as he makes her return to action in the Infobond Technical Manpower Services Fillies' Handicap (5.00).
Hollie Doyle's partner, who made a successful racecourse debut at Doncaster in June, was highly tried in three subsequent races last year and looks well treated on a British Horseracing Authority mark of 87 as she sets out in the handicap sphere.

BHA announces delay to Lord Allen's tenureship
Lord Charles Allen will not begin a new era as chairman of the British Horseracing Authority early next month as originally planned. A statement from the ruling body confirmed that Lord Allen will delay taking over at the helm as he wished to continue to meet all stakeholders to 'better inform his vision'. The statement read: 'Since Lord Allen was named as the new chair of the BHA last November he has engaged in an extensive round of meetings with stakeholders to develop a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the issues facing the sport. 'The BHA can today confirm that Lord Allen will not now start on June 2 as he wishes to continue meeting stakeholders to better inform his vision for the sport and he looks forward to starting his new role once these have concluded.' Lord Allen, a former chief executive at ITV who was also on the organising committee of the London 2012 Olympics, was announced as the successor to the late Joe Saumarez Smith in November.

Jockey banned for 12 years to make dramatic return to horse racing
Greg Fairley was a rising star of horse racing and champion apprentice on the Flat in 2007 but was cast out of the sport in disgrace in 2011 Greg Fairley, the 2007 champion apprentice warned off for 12 years for stopping a horse and passing on information, is to make a controversial return to the saddle. Fairley was once one of the rising stars of Flat racing, riding 381 winners in Britain and enjoying success at the top level when Lady Jane Digby, trained by his former boss Mark Johnston, landed a Group 1 contest in Germany in 2010. But the Scot was cast out of the sport in disgrace in December 2011 after a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel found him guilty of not riding The Staffy on his merits at Wolverhampton in March 2009. The panel, which in addition banned jockey Paul Doe for 12 years - Kirsty Milczarek was suspended for two years and Jimmy Quinn for six months - also found Fairley guilty of passing on privileged information for reward. Fairley, now 37, has worked as a tree surgeon during his period of exclusion but began riding work for trainer Sandy Thomson in 2021. And the path has been cleared for a race-riding comeback after Fairley's successful application for the return of his jockey's licence. 'We are satisfied that Mr Fairley is now a person who can be trusted,' concluded the licensing committee, which admitted finding the case 'very difficult to determine'. 'We tend to the view that, given his experience over the last 12-13 years, he is unlikely ever to engage in dishonest or corrupt behaviour again and unlikely to breach any integrity Rules,' it added. Charlie Johnston, who succeeded his father at the helm of the Kingsley Park Stables in Middleham in 2023, backed Fairley to rebuild his career. 'I was at university at the time it happened,' he said, 'but he was a big part of the team. 'The year he was champion apprentice, Joe [Fanning] had a bad fall at Glorious Goodwood and missed the rest of the season. 'Greg got thrust into taking a large proportion of the ride, including at Group level, even though he was still a claimer. 'He was a talented jockey. His misdemeanours were on horses not associated with us and I'm sure he regrets going down that path. 'But he's served a long and tough sentence and fair play to him for having the courage to try and come back. 'He phoned last night and said, 'This is going to be hitting the press, and I wanted you and Mark to know before it came out.' 'I'm sure there will be some owners who are still in the yard who had some success with him in years gone by. 'He's going to have to rebuild those relationships but I'm sure he will work hard at that.'

A $15m jockeys racing league would relegate real stars to supporting role
It was a case of eyes down for marketing buzzword bingo on Monday morning, as news emerged that a dozen leading riders, including Frankie Dettori, Ryan Moore, William Buick and Yutaka Take, have signed up to compete in a new international jockeys' league from 2026, with up to 10 six-race fixtures annually staged at some of the sport's most famous tracks around the world. According to various reports, the 'revolutionary' new competition will, its organisers claim, have 'a franchise-based league structure' designed to turn riders into 'global icons' and engage a 'fresh audience' for racing. The jockeys involved will own equity in their team, act as the 'team principal' for their franchise and, if all goes to plan, will be competing for a share of a $15m prize fund within two years. Beyond the names of the riders involved – which also include James McDonald, Flavien Prat, Irad Ortiz Jr, Vincent Ho, Mickaël Barzalona and Christophe Lemaire – there is not much clarity as yet on important information such as dates, venues or how the competition will be structured given that the riders are not racing's primary athletes. For now, the aim seems to be to secure commercial backing and sponsorship for the project as a whole and the individual riders' teams. Innovation, new money and, hopefully, a fresh generation of enthusiasts for a sport with an ageing fanbase. It is, on the face of it, an enticing prospect, and the project's co-founders, John Ferguson and Lachlan Fitt, have a wide range of experience in the industry. Ferguson is a former chief executive of the Godolphin operation and current board member of the British Horseracing Authority, while Fitt recently resigned from his role as deputy CEO of gambling group Entain's Australian arm. At the same time, though, and while there are undoubtedly some very talented names on the cast-list of riders, the simple fact remains that the sport is called horse racing for a reason. This has been a source of frustration for the promoters for decades – how do you persuade people to engage with athletes when the athletes can't talk? – and trying to persuade them to engage with the jockeys instead is not exactly blue sky thinking. The Shergar Cup, a jockey-based team event at Ascot in August, has been around for a quarter of a century, while the International Jockeys' Championship has long been a popular feature of Hong Kong's annual International event in December. But these events are, essentially, just a bit of fun before the serious stuff with the best horses gets underway. To be anything more than that, or provide a meaningful comparison between the abilities of the riders involved, the new league would need to account for the varying chances of the horses taking part but without making it all too complex for its audience to understand. A jockey's role, after all, is to maximise a horse's chance by getting it from start to finish as swiftly and efficiently as possible. If an odds-on shot scrambles home from a 25-1 outsider, the rider of the runner-up may well have done their job much better than the one on the winner, but no jockey will ever be able to make a horse run any faster than its genes, physique and preparation will allow. This is not to suggest that there is anything wrong with a bit of fun, and while the flag-waving at the Shergar Cup may not be to everyone's taste, it was Ascot's second-biggest draw outside of the Royal meeting last year. With its talk of a $15m prize fund, though, and a claim by Fitt that 'the concept we've developed with our foundation jockeys can help revolutionise global horseracing in the coming years', the global jockeys' league seems to be aiming to be rather more than a sideshow. There is precious little detail available as yet, and there may be a cunning plan to make the league a meaningful contest between jockeys from very different racing backgrounds. Perhaps it will also find the fresh audience it is looking for, but from this fan's perspective at least, a racing enterprise that relegates the horses to supporting-actor roles does seem to be missing the point.
