With this issue of Racing World we complete our 6th year of publication, covering the exciting world of Equine sport – horse racing, polo and other equestrian events. Having moved into unchartered territory in August 2003, we are happy to have established ourselves in this niche market providing enthusiasts of the sport with comprehensive information, detailed reviews, timely previews, profile interviews, news and views, breeding and pedigree updates, racing statistics and lots of interesting racing information. Polo has been an intrinsic part of Racing World and we have tried to cover as many events as possible during the polo season. Over the past six years we have had writers from around the globe show interest in writing for Racing World and this has added a new dimension with an international perspective. Promoting all aspects of equine sport is our objective and we hope that those connected with the sport will contribute with ideas that will invoke more interest to those already involved with the sport as well as to attract new entrants to the game. We take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, advertisers, subscribers, contributors and the racing fan in general who have supported us this far. As we commence our 7th year of publication we look forward to your continued support.

The big racing days in Europe won’t seem quite the same in 2010 now that veteran jockey Mick Kinane has decided to hang up his riding boots. Kinane, who rode 11 classic winners in India, including three Derbys, the most recent being Hotstepper in 2008, booted home his final winner when Sea The Stars, the best horse he rode in 34 years, won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Paris in October.

Minutes after Affirmed defeated his arch rival, Alydar, in the 110th running of the Belmont Stakes to become racing’s eleventh Triple Crown winner, Wolfson declined to call the son of Exclusive Native a “great” horse. “Yes, a great three-year-old, and so is Alydar,” Wolfson said. “But I want to see him run at four before I call him great overall.”
