Keith Dalgleish has sent out more than 950 winners from his stable in South Lanarkshire since 2011, but said in February that he intends to hand in his licence later this year to “do other things for a while”, and that his 1,000th winner “might be a good time to go out”.
It will be a significant loss for Scottish racing if or when his yard winds down, but Dalgleish should still be a force on the northern scene for a few months yet and his four-year-old Good Show (3.35) is an interesting contender for the Queen’s Cup Heritage Handicap, the feature event on Musselburgh’s valuable card on Saturday.
