With the launch of the 2023 Flat Turf season at Doncaster today there will be a frisson of excitement for the year ahead.
The first Classic, the Qipco 2,000 Guineas is just five weeks away with the Derby a month later followed by Royal Ascot.
As usual there is a lot of expectation around last season’s top performers and gaps to fill with a number of the year’s star performers, including Baaeed, the top rated horse in Europe in 2022, having gone off to stud.
