SportHorse racingNewsboy fancies his nap, Hickory, to score again over a mile on Newmarket's July course (7.37) and he also rates Fast Track in the Listed St Hugh's Stakes at Newbury (5.23)18:45, 13 Aug 2026BACK-to-form HICKORY (7.37, nap) can follow up his last-time-out success with victory at Newmarket in the Racing TV Handicap over a mile tonight.‌The eight-year-old won a valuable handicap at Ascot over the straight mile, relishing the fast gallop to arrive late and score by half a length.‌‌It was the third win at the track for the Jamie Osborne-trained gelding, who clearly thrives at Ascot. But he has also won at Kempton Park and Yarmouth so the July course, where he had excuses two starts ago, should be no issue off just a 2lb higher mark.At Newbury the Listed St Hugh’s Stakes has drawn 13 two-year-old fillies with a range of experience. Preference is for FAST TRACK (5.23, nb), one of the more seasoned challengers from the Andrew Balding stable.She has already had five starts, winning at the fourth attempt when long odds-on for a novice event at Beverley.‌Fast Track took a big step forward at Glorious Goodwood, where contesting the prestigious Alice Keppel Conditions Stakes, she showed bags of pace to lead the field almost all the way until she was caught late by the favourite Wild Blossom.A repeat of that effort should see her successful this evening.Newsboy's Friday selections EPSOM DOWNS 2.48 GREEK SYMPHON 3.23 TIARA TIME 4.00 SANDSCREENDELIVERD 4.38 OFFIAH’S BOY 5.13 LOBLOLLY 5.48 RED MIRAGE‌YARMOUTH 2.03 MATINS 2.38 MINO 3.13 DIVOT 3.48 LETSBEATSEPSIS 4.26 LAZZAR 5.00 MISTER SANDMANNEWBURY 3.00 RAINTOWN 3.35 QUICKEN AWAY 4.10 SWEETWONDERFULYOU 4.45 COAT OF RED 5.23 FAST TRACK (NB) 5.58 ASSARANCANEWMARKET 5.18 NECROMANCER 5.53 GILDING THE LILY 6.27 SIR EDWARD LEAR 7.02 FIFTY NIFTY 7.37 HICKORY (NAP)| 8.10 FREE WORLDArticle continues belowTHIRSK 5.33 FINAL OBJECTIVE 6.08 VARZI 6.43 WINCHURCH 7.18 SHADOW RUN 7.50 DEGALE 8.20 HALIMEDEDOUBLE: HICKORY and FAST TRACKChoose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Jamie OsborneNewsboyNewmarket racecoursesNewbury racecourseRacing tipsThe Inside Track - Horse Racing
