Going Now Soft At Ascot After Heavy Rain

Prolonged heavy rain has significantly changed the going ahead of the fourth day of Royal Ascot, where the ground is now described as soft, having been good to firm on Thursday.

Clerk of the Course Chris Stickells issued an update from the track shortly after 10am.

He said, “We've had a wet night and we've had 19mm of rain since racing yesterday. The going is now soft and we have further spells of rain due this morning.”

The change in going means that Primo Bacio (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}) is now a non-runner in the G1 Coronation S., while there are currently five non-runners in the G1 Commonwealth Cup, including Supremacy (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}).

The Friday Show Presented By Monmouth Park: A Publisher’s Retrospective

Publisher Ray Paulick has interviewed all sorts on The Friday Show, but this time around, the spotlight is on him.

On this week's episode, bloodstock editor Joe Nevills asks Ray about his beginnings, both in horse racing and covering the sport, which horses inspired him along the way, and what about the sport compelled him to make it a career.

Ray and Joe also discuss how the Thoroughbred industry, and reporting on it, has changed in the three-plus decades since Ray moved to Kentucky.

We then unveil a new and improved Star of the Week segment, in which the hosts look at a notable winner from the previous week at Woodbine.

Watch this week's show, presented by Monmouth Park, below:
