In a tipping world that is overflowing with bullshit boomers and cheap chancers, Hugh Taylor turns up year-in year-out seeking no fanfare and delivers metronomic brilliance in his free-to-read column on @AtTheRaces. Different class, unreal longevity and a gentleman to boot. 🙌
In 2025 the column shows a profit of 162.77 points to advised stakes/prices and a ROI of 1.32. Purely from my POV, I’m more pleased with these results than any other year, as the markets (especially between 8am & 9am) are far sharper than was the case 10 or even 5 years ago

Kevin makes the case for Ka Ying Rising to be regarded as one of the best sprinters of recent decades after the five-year-old's latest success in the Hong Kong Sprint.

19 years since this utterly epic Tingle Creek. Part of what made Moscow Flyer such a captivating watch was that his tendency to make awful jumping errors meant that every fence he cleared safely was a victory. You can hear it in the crowd reaction at every fence. Goosebumps! 🙌

Lady With The Lamp didn’t make what we felt she was worth at Tattersalls on Tuesday, so she has arrived at Golden Farm to begin her new career as a broodmare for us. Looking forward to enjoying her for many more years. Any suggestions for what stallion should be her first mate??

If you watch one bloodstock sale all year, the Sceptre Sessions have just started at @Tattersalls1766. Full of names you’ll all know, the highlights will be the brilliant Porta Fortuna (1734) and Barnavara (1753). The record for this sale is 6m guineas…

A quiet word with the magnificent Lady With The Lamp. She sells at @Tattersalls1766 on Tuesday (lot 1684). From a €14k yearling purchase to three Listed race wins for @JosephOBrien2, she has taken us on some journey. An embodiment of the dream. 🙌

The Coral Gold Cup takes place at Newbury tomorrow. Every year around this time, the memories of Denman's performance in the 2009 renewal come flooding back. Returning from a disappointing season, running off a rating of 174 under 11-12 and he delivers this. Awe inspiring.

After a winning day today, hopefully we can deliver more of the same for @AtTheRaces readers on a really good day of racing at Newcastle and Newbury tomorrow.

I had a good look at Friday's card at Newbury for @AtTheRaces and have landed on two selections, one of which I feel is going to be a big player in the staying hurdle division this season.

It has been a pleasure to watch this filly grow into the beauty that made 200,000gns to MV Magnier at @Tattersalls1766 today. Great job by all the team on Golden Farm and @TinnakillHouse in consigning her. Very excited to see what she can do on the racecourse. 🙌
Big excitement on Golden Farm last Friday as the latest foal was born, a striking dark filly by the great Wootton Bassett. Nothing wrong with Mammy’s maternal instincts anyway!! Bred by Golden Farm Bloodstock. 🙌
