WILLIAM HILL
The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2026
WELCOME TO
Good afternoon and welcome to Haydock Park for our William Hill Summer Season Opener Irish Raceday.
It is a pleasure to welcome you here for this afternoon’s fixture as we open the new campaign in style. After an excellent Jump season, today marks an exciting transition as we look ahead to a summer of top-class Flat racing here at Haydock Park
Our Flat Season Opener always brings a sense of anticipation, with horses, trainers, and racegoers alike embracing the start of a new chapter Today’s card offers a competitive and entertaining programme, showcasing emerging talent alongside familiar names returning to the track.
Off the track, enjoy Irish-themed entertainment from The Skylarks, a mother-daughter duo from The Voice UK, blending traditional Irish, folk and pop with fiddle, guitar and vocal harmonies, plus tradition Irish dancers and the Stray Horns roaming bands at the start of the day.
We are grateful to the many owners, trainers, jockeys, and stable staff whose continued support makes days like this possible, and we look forward to seeing their horses in action this afternoon
I would also like to extend our thanks to our sponsors, William Hill, Darley and The European Breeders Fund, as well as to all those working behind the scenes to ensure a successful raceday.
While today signals the beginning of our Flat season, there is plenty more to come in the weeks ahead, including Swinton Hurdle Day on Saturday 9th May, our popular mixed fixture combining both Flat and Jump racing which offers something for every racing fan
Finally, I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to the entire Haydock Park team for their dedication and hard work in preparing the racecourse for the season ahead
Thank you for joining us at Haydock Park I hope you enjoy an excellent afternoon of racing and a wonderful start to the Flat season.
Simon Tonge General Manager

HAYDOCK PARK RACECOURSE
Welcome to all our Annual Members for our opening day of the flat season here at Haydock Park.
A high-octane flat programme awaits us here at Haydock Park this summer, with in date order the following races to look forward to: the Temple Stakes, the Lester Piggott Stakes, the Lancashire Oaks, the Old Newton Cup, the Rose of Lancaster Stakes and finally the Sprint Cup. However, we are not quite done with the jumps yet, given the Swinton Hurdle is just two weeks away
I would also like to wish Mr Alan Bowery a very happy 70th Birthday from us all.
We also have our first ever members quiz night on Tuesday 12th May so sharpen your pencils for that night of intrigue, you’ll find a sign-up sheet on the notice board, as well as an email yesterday with details.
Today we have two boxes for your viewing pleasure as well as all other usual amenities
We have reciprocals coming up including for the 1,000 Guineas, so there is some excellent action for you to observe over the Bank Holiday weekend.
I hope you have a wonderful and successful days racing, and I hope to see you all today.
STEPHEN DARBYSHIRE Annual Members Representative

SARAB STAR: Following its run on 3/4/2026 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by a wide draw
Probable S.P’s: 9-2 Cosi Bello (GB), 6-1 Marshman (GB), 15-2 Khafiz (IRE), 8-1 Sarab Star(GB), 9-1 Cerulean Bay (IRE), 10-1 Caburn (IRE), 12-1 Great Acclaim (GB), 16-1 Korker (IRE), 20-1 Henlein (AUS), Darkness (FR), 25-1 Croupier (IRE), 28-1 The Angel King (GB)
COSI BELLO showed plenty in 4 runs last season and has both a pedigree and physique to suggest there should be more to come from him as a 4-y-o, so he’s taken to make a successful return to action. Great Acclaim probably needed the run in the Lincoln at Doncaster and is interesting back in headgear, with Khafiz another to note setting out for a yard amongst the winners.

TED LE SAUX: Following its run on 16/3/2026 it was reported that the horse had an irregular heartbeat. CANCELLED: Following its run on 11/3/2026 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.

CAVOLO NERO has returned with a pair of rock-solid efforts and given he was a shade better than the result to boot on his first try at this trip at Nottingham 3 weeks ago, he seems very likely to go well. Low-mileage 4-y-o Ted Le Saux could be well handicapped for his leading yard so demands respect, along with Winter Flower

This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital
