It is fair to say the action on the track during the last few days hasn't set the pulse racing. It has therefore been a good opportunity to continue to work on the new edition of One Jump Ahead. On Wednesday afternoon, I spoke to rising star Harry Derham who kindly ran through over 50 horses in his ever increasing string. Former assistant to his uncle Paul Nicholls, Harry has sent out 44, 57 and 5...
It has been a frustrating few days for the Top 40 Prospects in Ahead On The Flat and that trend continued on Sunday. Erdenali was unbeaten in three starts, including a Listed event at Deauville last month, and should have made it four out of four in the Group 3 Prix Messidor at Chantilly. Returning to a mile in the seven runner contest, Mickael Barzalona's mount was drawn in stall one on the rail ...
Things didn't go to plan on Saturday as far as the Top 40 were concerned with Earth Song only finishing sixth in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh. The Ribblesdale Stakes winner wasn't ideally positioned on the far rail but once in the open, James Doyle's filly failed to quicken and was well beaten behind Johanna Walsh who she had managed to reel in late on at the Royal meeting. Eleven and a half leng...
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...
