Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey Graham Bradley has died at the age of 65.

Bradley rode more than 700 winners during his 22-year career in the saddle and enjoyed a successful partnership with trainer Michael Dickinson.

His greatest success came in the 1983 Gold Cup, when he guided Bregawn to victory as Dickinson famously saddled the first five home.

Frankie Dettori has broken his ribs in an car crash.

A shake-up in the fixture list over Christmas will see the Grade 1 Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton move to December 27, the Coral Welsh Grand National meeting at Chepstow switch to December 28 and the Coral Challow Hurdle meeting at Newbury take place on December 29 to deliver four consecutive days of ITV racing coverage from December 26.

Kempton's two-day meeting, featuring the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase, will still be run on December 26 and 27, but the Kauto Star will now take place on day two.

Chepstow's Welsh National meeting, which previously shared the ITV bill with Kempton on December 27, will now be run 24 hours later, while Newbury's Grade 1 Challow Hurdle meeting will be staged on December 29 rather than its original spot a day earlier.

Housebuilder Barratt Redrow has denied it is set to submit a planning application before the end of this year to build more than 2,000 homes on the site of Kempton Park, despite claims to the contrary by the track's local MP Lincoln Jopp.

Jopp informed a well-attended gathering of local residents in Sunbury on Thursday evening that he had been told of the decision in a meeting with Kempton's owners, the Jockey Club, and Barratt Redrow.

The issue is due to be discussed in parliament on Tuesday as Jopp, the Conservative MP for Spelthorne, has secured a Westminster Hall debate on the "future of British horseracing".

Kempton's future has been in doubt ever since January 2017 when the Jockey Club announced plans in partnership with the developers, then simply known as Redrow, to close the racecourse and build 3,000 homes.

That plan met fierce resistance among racing figures, local communities and the local council and the project was shelved shortly before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
