1). Feature: Is it even possible to be inclusive in an exclusive game? Sid Fernando offers his insights for TDN.

"Even when racing thinks it’s being edgy and different, it’s frequently not, and it sometimes perpetuates behaviours that aren’t amenable to diversity and inclusion." - Sid Fernando

2). Video: Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) became the second winner of the G2 Queen Mary S. at Ascot for Stonestreet Stables, after Lady Aurelia (USA) (Scat Daddy {USA}) won the same race four years ago. We checked in with Barbara Banke and trainer Wesley Ward.

3). Feature: Chris McGrath looks at the initiatives undertaken in Europe to improve diversity in racing.

"If racing professionals want to stay in business, in the long term, they have no choice but to adapt; no choice but to reflect more scrupulously the make-up of society, with all its shades of ethnic, sexual and other differences." - Chris McGrath

4). Feature: Emma Berry reflects on a hectic week during the European racing season.

"Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) really did look like she could spend the season conquering all as she swept down the Epsom helter-skelter in a new race record of 2.34:06, narrowly beating the record of Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) three years earlier. Love sets the standard for what looks an exciting crop of 3-year-old fillies this year." - Emma Berry

5). Feature: Amr Zedan is back in the racing game after a series of high priced purchases. Jessica Martini finds out more for TDN.

“The problem is that I first tasted the sport on top in winning the Dubai World Cup with California Chrome (USA). That’s when I came in. I thought that would be the norm. And everything else would be easy-winning a Group 1 is nothing. Little did I know I was spending a lot of money there and then I realised it is a very hard sport." - Amr Zedan
