The Lambourn Open Day, a fixture in the racing calendar for more than three decades, returns in 2026, celebrating Lambourn's role at the heart of the sport whilst raising vital funds for charity. On the morning of Good Friday, April 3, over 20 of Lambourn's Flat and National Hunt trainers will open their doors to the public, offering a rare chance to step inside some of the country's most famous yards. Leading names such as Nicky Henderson, Archie Watson, Clive Cox, Ed Walker, Jamie Osborne, Jamie Snowden and Richard Hughes will be among those welcoming visitors, with Nick Scholfield also set to open his yard for the first time. Following the morning yard visits, the focus switches to the main showground for a full afternoon programme designed to appeal to all ages. Racing legend John Francome has been appointed a Patron of Lambourn Open Day for 2026 and will be in attendance on the day, taking part in the afternoon events. Highlights for 2026 include Celebrity Show Jumping, the ever-popular Shetland Grand National, Schooling with Top Jockeys and the Windsor Clive International Parade of Equine Heroes, alongside a range of additional displays, trade stands and family entertainment. The Outside Chance Beer Tent will be open from midday in the afternoon events field. All profits from the day go towards supporting Lambourn, with the majority donated to the Lambourn Valley Housing Trust, which works for the welfare of Lambourn stable staff, alongside contributions to other local facilities and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, which provides critical emergency support to the area. Mark Smyly, chairman of Lambourn Open Day, said, “Lambourn Open Day is always a special occasion for the sport and for everyone connected to the area. It gives racing fans the chance to see how these yards work on a daily basis, meet the horses and the people behind them, and enjoy a brilliant day out. With top-class yards open in the morning and a packed afternoon programme, there really is something for everyone, of all ages.” Tickets for Lambourn Open Day are on sale now, with full event information available on the website.

For @nomates and his new (old) buddy Bucky can someone explain to them where in this Topic is there mention of the word defamation? I guess literacy isn't a strong point with some. Actually you can't explain it to them because there isn't any mention. -

The Lindsay Park stable is confident the Blue Diamond Stakes aspirations of two-year-old Eurocanto (Per Incanto) are back on track. The Ben, Will and J D Hayes-trained two-year-old was sent back to the trials after being withdrawn from the Blue Diamond Preview (1000m) at Caulfield on January 24. Eurocanto played up in the gates that day and was scratched at the barriers. The colt required a veterinary clearance to be cleared to race again after the vets on race day deemed Eurocanto lame in the near foreleg, while stewards ordered the two-year-old to trial their satisfaction in a jump-out. That jump-out occurred last Friday at Flemington with Eurocanto finishing second in an 800m heat behind the Don’t Hope Do. J D Hayes said the stable was relieved to see their Blue Diamond hope back at the races with the two-year-old down to run at Caulfield on Saturday in the Blue Diamond Prelude (1100m). Hayes said in an ideal world Eurocanto would be heading into Victoria’s premier two-year-old race, the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on February 21, at his third run for the campaign. But Hayes said the stable was buoyed by the way Eurocanto performed last Friday. “He trialled really well against the older horses, and he’ll be taking his place,” Hayes said. “He’s back on track and I thought it was a good trial. “He passed with flying colours, and he was on his best behaviour and hopefully he stays that way.” Eurocanto has raced just once previously winning the Listed Maribyrnong Trial (1000m) at Flemington last October. In preparation for what was hoped to be his first-up outing on January 24, Eurocanto had two jump-outs, finishing third at Flemington on January 2 before scoring at Werribee on January 16. “I don’t think he will be lacking anything for fitness on Saturday,” Hayes said. Eurocanto will be the sole starter in the colts and gelding’s division of the Prelude for Lindsay Park with the stable accepting with Jacaranda, Medicinal and Portinari in the fillies’ division. Jacaranda has also been accepted with in the Inglis Millennium (1100m) at Randwick on Saturday with all three fillies looking to join both Eurocanto and Torture in the Blue Diamond on February 21.
