The training facilities and regimes in jump and flat racing have change so much over the decades since the time of the late great Red Rum. Plus there's always the desire to breed a top quality thoroughbred to win the big races. The next Frankel perhaps?
As for flat racing, I can't wait for the Dante Stakes at York, the Epsom Derby beginning of June and Royal Ascot middle of June.
