Good afternoon and welcome to Brighton Racecourse, and to the final day of the Star Sports Festival of Racing.
We have six exciting races lined up this afternoon. Our feature race this afternoon; The Class 4 Harry Bloom Memorial Brighton Bullet Handicap sees the runners head to post at 16:00. Ran over 5f 215y this is certainly one for the speed merchants, and was previously known at the Brighton sprint or the “Dash”.
We have the fantastic Ultra Swing band on site, to keep you entertained in the sunshine. We are delighted to be able to support our local greyhound trust, Brighton Greyhounds, so please do go and say hello to some of our four-legged friends this afternoon by our Grandstand entrance.
Thank you to our sponsors for their continued support; Star Sports, the Bloom Family and Bennetts.
We also thank Richard Soan for once again hosting a wonderful marquee charity event in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
We hope you have a fantastic day and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Looking ahead, our next fixture here is on Tuesday 20th of August.

KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability
The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances)
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating birthplace of horse if not Great Britain
STAND BY FOR ANOTHER TONY CARROLL WINNER GLUT
by Will Lefebve, Racing Journalist
LEWIS CARROLL (real name CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON, 1832-1898) will forever be remembered by those of a certain age, particularly English History & Literature students, as a Guildford-born author, poet, mathematician, photographer and Anglican priest.
“What’s this luminary got to do with horse racing” I hear? Yes, he was the intellectual who nearly 160 years ago famously penned “ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND” and its sequel “THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS”, followed by those nonsense offerings “JABBERWOCKY” & “THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK”!
Well, here’s the gist. Ronnie (singer), Declan (horse trainer), John (jockey) and Roy (goalkeeper) are four other wel-known CARROLLS, but the guy with that surname most familiar to BRIGHTON turf diehards over the past 15 years is unquestionably the universally-liked & LAMBOURN-born TONY (26-02-1957).
No relation to LEWIS, I believe, but someone for whom WONDERLAND aptly sums up TONY’s “second home” by the seaside, the scenic “switchback horseshoeshaped track” overlooking the English Channel high above Whitehawk Hill and Roedean School. I wonder if he uses a “looking-glass” as he trawls through the weekly “bible” known as the “Racing Calendar” in search of opportunities for his string of almost 100 horses?
As is common knowledge, Tony is such a major player nowadays down here in “BN2” that his regular long distance raiders from far off Cropthorne, near Pershore, Worcs (WR10) - an area most associated with apples and orchards - have earned their trainer legendary status.
The “Freshfield Road” venue has accommodated a remarkable 428 Carroll runners since 2019 alone, yielding 48 winners, and to quote gifted scribe David Ashforth from a recent RACING POST column: “If only Brighton paid appearance money!”
For the record, his very first Brighton runner as a trainer was MAC’S DREAM (Michael Tebbutt up), 7th of 15 on May 4, 1999 in a £3,184-50 six furlongs maiden handicap, in which the other trainers still in the business today were Gary Moore, John Bridger, George Margarson, John Gosden and Rae Guest.
But Tony had to wait 11 years to celebrate that first training success at Brighton, with one of his favourite horses, KING OLAV. I suppose it had to be a coincidence that Brighton was the same venue where Tony’s racing career got off the ground
Photographer: DARREN COOL
POUR LA VICTOIRE winning at Brighton
as a young apprentice having only his second career mount, 37 years before King Olav’s success, and six days before MORSTON’S famous EPSOM DERBY triumph.
A.CARROLL, claiming 5lb on his boss Pat Taylor’s bay filly QUITE SWEET, comfortably saw off six other “kids” including David Holley, to land a gamble in the £399 Glynde Apprentice Handicap, and that was to be the first of 254 wins in the saddle before he switched to training in the mid-90s. Ask Tony to explain how Brighton racecourse has become an essential part of his life, and he’ll tell you it has been a genuinely natural, thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding, unplanned path to seaside splendour
“I suppose we’ve created our own mini-Goodwood down here because our horses invariably run well at Brighton. Most of the string are not Goodwood standard, but Brighton suits most of them, and these occasions are magical for everyone associated with the yard. It’s like a little Festival for us”, says the 67-year-old.
“My owners and I love the place, they encourage us to run here, and we’ve had a stack of winners. I don’t know exactly how many we’ll run, or how many owners in total will be on the course, but most of them are staying in Brighton all week. I know for instance that ten of the boys are flying over from Ireland.”
CARROLL in his riding days
As this piece goes off to WEATHERBYS racecard printers, I have done my sums. They won’t all be descending on East Sussex, but 34 different Tony Carroll horses appear in the “5-day entries”, making up 52 of the 302 in total for the 18 races over the three days of the Festival!
It would be impossible to mention all the 117 CARROLL winners at Brighton since KING OLAV broke the ice, but one in particular demands a headline…..POUR LA VICTOIRE. This now-retired 14-year-old gelding ran 121 times in a 10 year career, 36 of those races at BRIGHTON.
He won 17 times (11 at Brighton), finished in the first three 54 times; earned £111,802; competed at 20 different tracks as far apart as Ayr and Goodwood; was partnered by 38 jockeys including three champions; and when he bowed out on a winning note three years ago this week, the Brighton management promptly renamed their winning connections room the “POUR LA VICTOIRE” suite!
Finally, since Tony broke his duck as a trainer at Windsor with 25-1 QUEEN OF SHANNON in August, 1996, he has sent 16,212 RUNNERS to the races, bagging a WIN total under both codes of 1,390. To quote MICHAEL PARKINSON: “REMARKABLE”!
Now in sight of his long-held ambition to complete a maiden “calendar century”his best yet is 85 in 2022 - Tony goes into battle at the Festival on 71.

In 1971 he joined the board of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club as Vice Chairman. His appointment culminated in his lasting legacy to the club in his nine years by creating a hugely successful lottery.
Harry passed away in January 1980 at the age of 71 and his success in many commercial ventures made Harry one of the most successful and well known businessmen in Brighton & Hove.
Following in the footsteps of his Grandfather, Tony joined the board in 2009 when he became chairman. His appointment brought a vital infusion of financial backing culminating in the development of the architecturally beautiful American Express Community Stadium, which opened in July 2011.
The entire family are fanatical Brighton & Hove Albion supporters and they are once again at the forefront in supporting local sport by sponsoring this afternoon’s race and will be presenting the Harry Bloom Memorial Trophy to the owner of the winning horse.

The Brighton Bullet
A race for the speed merchants that has also previously been named the Brighton Sprint or the ‘Dash’.
Dual winners of the race include Divine Pet (Bill Wightman trained) in 1989 and 1991, and nine-times course winner Shikari’s Son (John White) who scored in 1992 and 1994.
Trainer Gay Kelleway enjoys her visits to Brighton and in 1997 provided Kieran Fallon with his first success on the course when Golden Pound lifted the Sprint. Gay was also on the board in 2011 when Clear Ice obliged under Chris Catlin.
Other trainers with a good affinity with this contest include Ron Harris who secured back-to-back wins with Prodigality (2012) and Noverre To Go (2013) and again in 2016 with Vincennti whilst Eve Johnson Houghton enjoyed wins with Panther Patrol (2014) and Tin Hat five years later
Leading Newmarket handler William Haggas gained back-to-back wins with progressive types in Pagan and Pink Crystal during 2021/22.
The final word goes to the incredible Pour La Victoire, our 11 times course winner, who Tony Carroll guided to land the pot in both 2015 and 2018.

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for BRUNEL CHARM who has made an encouraging start for Charlie Wallis and can now capitalise on a handy-looking mark if none the worse for his exertions 2 days ago. Tony Carroll’s Milliethemollie is feared most ahead of in-form pair My Kind of Girl and Bear To Dream.
