British racing is running out of road. A new special report by ex-jockey Richard Killoran lays bare the deep structural problems threatening the sport - from collapsing foal crop and falling attendances to a funding system that returns far less betting turnover to the sport than in other countries.

This week on The Front Page, we dive into the findings and ask the big questions:

Is British racing’s business model fundamentally broken?
Have governance battles and media-rights dependence left the sport unfixable?
What would real change look like - and can it be delivered?
Join Tom Kerr, Scott Burton and James Stevens as we cover this urgent report, plus look back at a packed weekend on the track and pick the bones out of the Haggas-Purton spat.

Get set for the latest episode of the Racing Postcast as our panel assesses all the big races from the final day of Cheltenham’s Showcase meeting, plus the high-quality Flat action on ITV at Doncaster and Newbury.

Presenter James Stevens is joined by Racing Post tipster Robbie Wilders, Lambourn correspondent Liam Headd and Ed Nicholson from Unibet to provide their analysis and best bets for a superb Saturday, which also features the Group 1 Futurity Trophy.

Join Maddy Playle, Chris Cook and Matt Rennie to discuss all the main talking points from a busy week in racing. 

The panel discuss the changes afoot at Cheltenham, with the Mares' Hurdle moved from its usual Tuesday slot and consultations ongoing about moving the meeting to Wednesday to Saturday.

They also look back on a dramatic Champions Day card, with 200-1 and 100-1 winners shocking racegoers at Ascot and asking pertinent questions of the autumn showcase card.

Finally, bookmakers say a significant amount of their high street shops will be closed as the racing tax threat looms in the November budget. 

The Big Jump Off is here! Host David Jennings is joined by our heavyweight trio of tipsters - Tom Segal, Johnny Dineen and Paul Kealy - for exclusive views, punchy analysis, ante-post tips and horses to follow for the 2025-26 jumps season.
 
Jennings also chats to Gordon Elliott to get the latest news on his galaxy of stars and the top trainer even nominates a dark horse to follow for the season that most of you won't even have heard of. 

Pat Cooney from bet365 has the lowdown on all the markets and the team all pick their best ante-post bet over the coming months, as well as their one to swerve for the season and who they feel are the best handicapped horses in training. 

In The Know is back!
