Welcome to all our Annual Members for our opening day of the flat season here at Haydock Park.
Today sees the £45,000 added Unibet Handicap, run over 7 furlongs, and with an impressive field to boot. English Oak looked for all the world a pattern class individual when winning at Royal Ascot last year and bids to make his first start a winning one of 2025 Dangers abound, with the progressive Yorkshire for the upwardly mobile Bethell yard and it promises to be a cracker.
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 John of Gaunt, 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
Today we have two boxes for your viewing pleasure as well as all other usual amenities.
It’s been a pleasure to see so many of you at our various reciprocals up and down the country; Easter Monday sees our annual jaunt to Fakenham, a lovely racecourse to attend given the clement weather forecast
We have reciprocals coming up at a variety of racecourses I am delighted that for the first time in living memory a classic has been included, namely the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket. All Haydock Park members can get free admission to this fantastic race in just eight days and it would be wonderful to see the sunny uplands of Suffolk festooned with Haydock Park members
I hope you have a wonderful and successful days racing, and I hope to see you all today.

RAHIEBB had created quite a big impression when making a winning debut at Newcastle so is worth another chance to defy a penalty having still looked green when runner-up back there 5 weeks ago This does look a warm maiden, though, with likely improvers Opportunity and Antrim heading the dangers.

2024: RACE ABANDONED
AFLOAT: Following its run on 4/4/2025 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run 1.5f out.
Probable S.P’s: 9-2 Night Breeze (IRE), 5-1Azahara Palace (GB), 11-2 Roland Garros (GB), 7-1 LiveAid (IRE), 8-1Afloat (GB), 10-1 Solar Bentley (IRE), 11-1 Hamlet’s Night (IRE), Golspie (IRE), 22-1 Dayzee (IRE), Giselles Defence (IRE)
AZAHARA PALACE ended last term with good placed efforts at around this trip and, having won on her respective reappearance last season, she appeals as a likely player back from 6 months off with Rossa Ryan an eye-catching booking. Night Breeze and Afloat are others to consider, with Roland Garros and Hamlet’s Night another pair to keep an eye on.

Gesundheit is a half-brother to a useful type and he’s fancied to get involved on return/yard debut, with Vault of Heaven and Lord Capulet another couple worth considering, too.
