The highlight on the opening afternoon of Hamilton's two day fixture was the Almada Mile Handicap and it was won in convincing fashion by the unbeaten I'll Be Back. The Lope De Vega colt hadn't been seen since beating the useful King's Cavalry at Leicester in April and was making his handicap bow off an opening mark of 92. Racing prominently and enthusiastically under Sam James, Karl Burke's runne...
William Haggas claimed more Group 1 glory - the stable's second of 2026 - when Maltese Cross led close home in the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp on Tuesday evening. The Sea The Stars colt won the Lingfield Derby Trial during the spring before chasing home Christmas Day in the Epsom Derby last month. Beaten less than three lengths at Epsom, he endured a hard race in tough conditions and did well...
The wait for an outstanding sprinter in Europe to emerge continues with Comanche Brave winning the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket. Donnacha O'Brien's four year old had impressed when capturing the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh in May but could only finish seventh in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. The son of Wootton Bassett travelled smoothly in behind the l...
Blue Bolt provided the highlight on day two of the Newmarket July meeting with Andrew Balding's filly gaining her first Group 1 victory in the Falmouth Stakes on Friday. The daughter of Blue Point finished runner-up in the Sun Chariot Stakes on the Rowley Mile last Autumn but has improved again as a four year old. Unbeaten in three runs this term, she was an impressive winner of the Group 2 Duke o...
I was working at Catterick on Wednesday and the highlight by some margin was provided by Warby in the juvenile fillies' novice stakes over five furlongs. The daughter of Ardad had shaped encouragingly on her debut over C&D last month and confirmed it here with a convincing success. Tim Easterby's runner made all the running before stretching away inside the final furlong. A two lengths winner,...
Constitution River set up a mouth watering clash with Ombudsman in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York next month following his decisive victory in the Coral Eclipse at Sandown on Saturday. The Wootton Bassett colt is unbeaten in three runs this term having landed the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly last time. Sitting off a furious early gallop set by stablemate Flushing Meadows, Ryan Moor...
The well bred Sallaal is beginning to fulfil his potential as a four year old with Roger Varian claiming the Listed Gala Stakes at Sandown on Friday. A half-brother to the stable's 1000 Guineas winner Elmalka, the son of Frankel had failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in Pattern company but is an improved model this term. An impressive winner of a valuable handicap at Epsom's Oaks m...
There were no shortage of news stories within the horse racing world on Thursday, including the sad news that Graham Bradley has passed away at the age of 65. The Yorkshireman rode his first winner in 1980 and partnered 686 winners in the UK before retiring in 1999. His CV included the Champion Hurdle and Cheltenham Gold Cup and nine Festival winners in total. One of the most stylish jump jockeys ...
Gone By, who features in the Top 40 Prospects of Ahead on The Flat, was a wide margin winner at Ripon earlier this month. Ralph Beckett's filly made her handicap debut in the Bibury Cup at Salisbury on Tuesday off a mark of 90 and produced a gutsy performance enhancing her reputation in the process. Tackling a mile and a half for the first time, the Gleneagles filly is a stayer who lacks a change ...
Once again, Aidan O'Brien grabbed the headlines the Curragh with Benvenuto Cellini bouncing back to form following his below par effort at Epsom and providing his trainer with eighteenth victory in the Irish Derby. However, the most pleasing result of the day was Top 40 entry King of Earth's win in the nine furlongs premier handicap later on the card. The Kingman colt had run well in defeat at Don...
