Frankie Dettori, Ryan Moore and William Buick have signed up to a new $15 million global jockeys' league that is expected to launch across some of the world's most prestigious racing venues early next year.

Buick's place among the world racing elite was confirmed over the weekend at Newmarket, where he teamed up with Charlie Appleby to win both the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas, while in America Godolphin also landed the Kentucky Derby and Oaks. We look back on the Classic action and reflect on a Punchestown festival that was fantastic for fans of Galopin Des Champs but terrible for the increasingly long-suffering supporters of Constitution Hill.

How can it be that in 2025 female jockeys still have to enter male changing rooms to properly do their job?  That is one of the big questions asked in this week's edition of The Front Page, which looks at some of the powerful revelations that emerged in the Racing Post's special report on the appalling standard of some British weighing rooms. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd ask why the majority of tracks have not moved faster to improve facilities for riders and why the BHA has seemingly regulated racecourses so meekly. The show kicks off by reflecting on a weekend of quality jumps action at Ayr, where Captain Cody's victory in the Scottish Grand National left Willie Mullins ever closer to denying Dan Skelton a first trainers' championship. We also look back on a day of spring trials at Newbury and ask if any future Classic winners were in action. The programme ends by looking at the 2024-25 Racing Post Jumps Horse of the Year poll. Lee, Chris and Liam reveal where their vote would go but this is a public vote and it's Racing Post readers who will have the final say.

The Grand National has changed enormously in recent years. Does it now need to change again? That is the big question asked in this week's edition of The Front Page, in which Chris Cook and Jonathan Harding join Lee Mottershead to discuss complaints from a number of British trainers that the sport's most famous race has lost its essence. Should there be a cap on the number of runners a single trainer can have? Would the Grand National be better with win-and-you're-in races? And do people really care who trains the runners or in what country they are trained? After looking forward to Aintree, the team looks back at the Cheltenham Festival, this focusing on last week's announcement that some ticket prices are to be cut, alongside a rebranding of the meeting's second day. To wrap up the programme, we reflect on the Racing Post's Racing and the Economy series, debate the mini revolt that occurred when some of Britain's trainers met in London and, after all that, we even tell you who the panel fancies for next Saturday's Grand National.
