Big Red kicks off our weekend action

It’s a busy few days for the RaceShare runners, with Red Mirage kicking things off for us at Epsom tonight, before Criminal Shore, Yes I’m Mali and Buccabay head into action over the next few days.

Red Mirage heads to Epsom Downs tonight (5.48pm) for what is likely to be his penultimate start in the RaceShare silks before embarking on a well-earned retirement. Big Red was one of RaceShare’s first five purchases when we launched back in November 2022, so he will always hold a special place in his owners’ hearts. He has run well at Epsom before and so we are hopeful of a good performance as he enters the twilight of his career.

Criminal Shore will make his second start at Doncaster tomorrow (3.37pm) in the Meadowhall Handicap over 7f. He needs to prove himself on turf, whilst we wait for options at his favoured Newcastle starting from next month.

Yes I’m Mali has been tough and consistent this year and heads to Pontefract on Sunday (6.45pm) for the Class 3 handicap, following his valiant effort in the Sky Bet Dash at York, where he was disadvantaged by a poor draw. We’re looking forward to seeing him back in action after a quiet couple of weeks. He has proven himself to have a terrific constitution, with this set to be his 10th run of 2026, and hopefully he can add another positive result to his tally.

Buccabay holds an entry at Windsor on Monday, the scene of his course-and-distance success in May 2025. He ran very well on his reappearance at the track after a break a few weeks ago, and with the Eve Johnson Houghton yard in flying form, we have plenty to look forward to.

His stablemate Robusto could make a quick turnaround 24 hours later at Chepstow, following his Leicester victory. He proved himself on turf and hopefully there is more to come.
