Watch: Why is horse racing going on strike?
BBC Sport's Joe Lynskey explains why British horse racing will go on a one-day strike on Wednesday, 10 September, in a protest against the government's proposed tax rise on betting on the sport.
Mid-September usually signals a turning point in the North American racing calendar, and that’s true this year as Churchill Downs and Belmont at the Big A (Aqueduct) both kick off early fall meets. The marquee races, however, will occur at Woodbine on Saturday, Sept.
It’s that time of the year again. The chase for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve officially begins Saturday with the $300,000 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs, the first points race for the Triple Crown class of 2026.
