Roger Varian has his team in good order at present with six winners during the last fortnight. As discussed, St Leger runner-up Rahiebb was an impressive winner of the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup last week and the Newmarket handler was responsible for the first two winners at Nottingham on Tuesday. Moreedd (5/1), who is featured in the Unraced Three Year Olds section in AOTF, is from a tremendous family...
Apologies for belatedly updating the Diary due to the fact I have been working at York (Thursday) and Aintree (Friday evening). Following a barren spell of nearly three weeks, Charlie Appleby and Godolphin have bounced back in recent days with four winners from their last seven runners. They included another blistering display by Notable Speech who won the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on Sat...
The three day Dante Festival at York got underway on Wednesday with AOTF ante-post selection Legacy Link (advised @ 25/1) advertising her claims for the Epsom Oaks with a narrow success in the Group 3 Musidora Stakes. A beautifully bred daughter of Dubawi, she had finished fourth in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last Autumn. Despite still showing signs of inexperience and racing keenly ea...
Admittedly, they were short prices, but the featured horses in Ahead on The Flat had a productive weekend. Top 40 entry Diamond Necklace was the headline act with Aidan O'Brien's filly winning the Group 1 Poule d'Essai Des Pouliches at Longchamp on Sunday in impressive fashion. The daughter of St Mark's Basilica was unbeaten in three starts as a juvenile, including the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac ...
The Unraced Three Year Olds section in Ahead On The Flat has been in excellent form this week. Following the victories of Song of The Clouds and Tornado Tower at Redcar and Chester respectively, Galiyan (9/4) and Seet (100/30) scored at Chester and Wolverhampton on Friday.
The former had made his debut in a strongly contested ten furlongs novice stakes at Newmarket's Craven meeting last mon...
Aidan O'Brien has dominated proceedings on the Roodeye during the last couple of days with the Ballydoyle outfit sending out four winners from eight runners at Chester. Amelia Earhart, Benvenuto Cellini and Constitution River cemented their positions towards the summit of the ante-post markets for the Epsom Oaks and Derby respectively with authoritative performances. Older stablemate and dual Grou...
The curtain came down on the National Hunt season at Punchestown on Saturday. I have therefore added up the statistics for the featured horses in One Jump Ahead 2025/206, which are listed below:
Top 40 Prospects 31 winners from 110 runners (28%)
French Revolution 22 winners from 129 runners (17%)
Irish Pointers 43 winners from 135 runners (32%)
Stable Switchers 10 winne...
Not surprisingly, Aidan O'Brien grabbed the headlines on the final day of Newmarket's three day fixture with last year's top-class juvenile True Love capturing the 1000 Guineas with another fine display. The daughter of No Nay Never, who raced seven times last term, was providing the Ballydoyle team with their eighth victory in the first fillies' Classic of 2026 and O'Brien's 49th British Classic....
Congratulation to George Boughey and his team following Bow Echo's brilliant performance in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday. Hugo Palmer's former assistant has done a superb job with the well bred son of Night of Thunder. Unbeaten as a juvenile, including a Group 2 win in the Royal Lodge Stakes over C&D last Autumn, he was prepared beautifully throughout the winter for the first colt...
As discussed, William Haggas' team were needing their seasonal reappearances last month but the Somerville Lodge outfit are starting to hit their straps with eight winners in the last six days. The stable had a terrific afternoon on the Rowley Mile on Friday with a treble. They include two hugely promising three year old who feature in the Top 40 Prospects in Ahead On The Flat. Earth Shot had repo...
