The five-day jamboree of fashion and racing that is Glorious Goodwood. Takes centre stage this week.There are few more stunning places than the Sussex Downs on a sunny day and returning champions from last year will be trying to grab the headlines once again. Highlight of the week is Wednesday's Sussex Stakes and 2009 victor Rip Van Winkle will be hoping to return to top form as he did 12 months ago after a lacklustre reappearance at Royal Ascot. Aidan O'Brien's charge could find a title defence tough going, though, as he will have to contend with odds-on favourite Canford Cliffs. Richard Hannon believes this colt, who bagged the Irish 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes on his last two starts, has the potential to be the best horse he has ever trained. Saturday is all about the top-class females with a scintillating renewal of the Blue Square Nassau Stakes.Preceding that showdown is one of the most valuable handicaps of the year, the bluesquare.com Stewards' Cup. There are plenty of other Group and Listed races throughout the week to leave racegoers well and truly satisfied from their festival fix. The rest of the action comes from Doncaster, Hamilton, Lingfield, Nrewmarket and Thirsk

10/04/10: Tony McCoy ended his Grand National jinx in superb style as he claimed victory at the 15th attempt on board the 10-1 Don't Push It. He jumped the last with Black Apalachi but pulled away to give Jonjo O'Neill and JP McManus their first wins. Black Apalachi (14-1) was five lengths behind, ahead of State of Play (16-1). Joint favourite Big Fella Thanks finished 4th. McCoy, the 14-time champion jockey, has ridden more than 3,000 winners, but Grand National victory had remained frustratingly elusive before Saturday.
Dec 2009 - Kauto Star became the first horse to claim a record four consecutive victories in the King George VI Chase. The 8-13 favourite was never challenged. Ruby Walsh safely guided the dual Cheltenham Gold Cup hero over the last three fences for a great win. Madison du Berlais edged out Barbers Shop in a race for second. The triumph for Kauto Star sees him eclipse the achievements of Desert Orchid, who won Christmas showpiece 4 times in 5 years.
October 2009..........Sea The Stars the first horse in history to win the 2000 Guineas, The Derby, Juddmonte, The Eclipse and the Arc in the same season has been retired. The 3 year old was beaten once in 9 starts and that was on his debut. He amassed nearly £4.5million in prize money. His performance sparked comparisons with the likes of Dancing Brave, Mill Reef and Sea Bird.
