It had been a tough few days for Karl Burke during the first half of Royal Ascot but his top-class filly Venetian Sun came to the rescue in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup. A non stayer over a mile in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, the daughter of Starman had impressed when dropping back to sprint trips in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock last time. Encountering quick ground and returning to ...
Aidan O'Brien trained his 100th winner at Royal Ascot when Scandinavia won the Gold Cup in a thrilling finish with last year's victor Trawlerman. The four year old was providing his trainer with his tenth win in the week's showpiece event. The young pretender had to dig deep to get the better of the eight year old runner-up who was making his belated seasonal reappearance, who was reportedly in in...
Ombudsman gained his fourth Group 1 success and won the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot for a second consecutive year. The son of Night of Thunder sat off a frentic early gallop before taking charge approaching the final furlong. William Buick's mount readily swept past top-class performers Daryz and Minnie Hauk before pulling away to win by four lengths. Blessed with a lethal turn of foot...
Bow Echo followed up his 2000 Guineas victory at Newmarket in the Group 1 St James's Palace Stakes on day one of Royal Ascot. A short head victor, George Boughey's stable star wasn't at his best but still managed to prevail. The Night of Thunder colt got lit up early on and then made his move on the outside soon enough. Billy Loughnane is undoubtedly a very talented young jockey with a bright futu...

The splendid form of the Top 40 continued on Saturday with another winner and it should have been two. Sticktoyourguns incurred a minor hold up during the spring which meant his return to action was delayed. Back after an absence of 266 days, Owen Burrows' charge produced a fine effort to win on his handicap debut off 87 at Sandown. Racing enthusiastically, the Without Parole colt had to wait for ...
The Top 40 Prospects in AOTF continue in excellent form with Antipodes (4/1) making it two out of two this season in the valuable ten furlongs handicap at York on Friday. Gelded during the winter, the son of Starspangledbanner defied an absence of 319 days when scoring on his belated seasonal reappearance at Windsor last month. Raised six pounds, Roger Varian's lightly raced four year old improved...
William Haggas described the unraced Manaar (8/1) as "a very nice unraced filly who I like. She has matured mentally and physically during the winter" on page 100 of Ahead On The Flat. The half-sister to the stable's multiple Group 1 winner Dubai Honour made a winning start to her career in the nine furlongs novice stakes at Newbury on Thursday. Picking up strongly, the daughter of St Mark's Basil...
Starlight Lass features in the Unraced Three Year Old section of Ahead on The Flat and, while it was disappointing that she didn't make a winning start at Yarmouth on Wednesday, the Dubawi filly ran a race full of promise in the opening fillies' maiden over seven furlongs. From the family of the stable's St Leger winner Logician, John & Thady Gosden's charge had reportedly worked nicely ahead ...
