Breeders Cup Saturday - plus all ITV4 racing

¹

I must be brief, but I will make the time to say how sad it is that Alastair Down has died. Yet somehow, given that we saw him only last week at the Cheltenham christening of the newly named Alastair Down Press Room, it seems like a decent “final wrap.” Drinks with chums at a place you love, being feted by mates, a jolly lunch with some grandees…he would have loved it. I only hope he had a winning day with the punting.

Selections only, I’m afraid, today. Research first - writing second.
