Rhoscolyn gallops to Golden glory at Goodwood
Travelling kindly for Daniel Tudhope throughout, the seven-year-old was in the ideal place to pounce in the closing stages. Stoked up by his rider as the race began to unfold, he surged onto the scene inside the final furlong before galloping a length clear of runner-up Ebt's Guard at the line. It was the seven-year-old's second appearance of the week on the Sussex Downs having finished down the field when seen on Wednesday, but by scoring at odds of 11-2, Rhoscolyn went one better than his second in this race in 2021 to register not only his sixth course success, but also give David O'Meara a third win in the contest since 2020. The trainer said: 'The rain came in the nick of time otherwise the boys might not have run him, but he didn't take anything out of himself when he ran here earlier in the week. 'I think we've been fortunate to benefit from the bad luck of others in this race and once again the gaps came for him. 'There's a nice handicap over seven furlongs or a mile back here for him worth a hundred grand and that's where he'll go.' William Muir, co-trainer of runner-up Ebt's Guard along with Chris Grassick, said: 'He cost five grand and he is an absolute star. He won the Spring Cup at Newbury, was unlucky not to be placed in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot because we were drawn in the middle and he got too far back. 'Last time in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket people said he was disappointing, but if he hadn't been hampered he would have been third. He was shut off twice. 'He takes everything you give him. I am really proud of him. I didn't enter him at York because that was the only place he ran badly last year. 'He could run in a Racing League race and I will put him in the Cambridgeshire. He finished sixth in it last year.' Richard Hughes, trainer of third-placed Real Gain, said: 'On good ground we might just have done it. In the soft ground he probably just got jelly legs in the last 100 yards. 'We are thrilled with him. He hadn't run for a year, he had bone soreness, so we had to give him time off. He will go straight to the Cambridgeshire.'

World's oldest sporting trophy up for grabs at Carlisle Racecourse
The world's oldest sporting trophy is to be contested today at Carlisle Racecourse as the historic Carlisle Bell takes place. The race was first contested in 1599 and also runs on the same day as the Cumberland Plate. There are seven races taking place today with the first setting off at 2.15pm and the last at 5.25pm. The 2024 Carlisle Bell was won by Orbaan ridden by Daniel Tudhope and trained by David O'Meara. The first properly recorded horse races date from the 16th century where silver bells were common racehorse prizes alongside bridles, plates and purses of money. Explaining the history of the Carlisle Bell, the jockey club explained on their website: "The larger bell has the inscription: 'The sweftes horse thes bel to tak for mi lade Daker sake' (The Swiftest horse this bell to take for my lady Dacre's sake). "The second bell, is inscribed: 1599 H.B.M.C. "In this case, the initials are believed to stand for: Henry Baines, Mayor of Carlisle. "The bells appear to have survived as part of the council's collection of civic silver, which has allowed them to be preserved until today - hence being the world's oldest sporting trophy. An incredible history which continues to this day, join us to see who is added to the Carlisle Bell's illustrious roll of honour."
