It was the first day of the Newmarket July meeting on Thursday with Charlie Appleby and William Buick dominating proceedings with a treble. Top 40 entry Opera Ballo ran out an impressive winner of the Listed Sir Henry Cecil Stakes gaining his second success in Pattern company. An emphatic scorer in the Listed Heron Stakes at Sandown in late May, he defied his penalty with an even better display he...
Twenty four hours after Ombudsman had got nailed close home by Delacroix in the Coral Eclipse at Sandown, another Top 40 entry did likewise at Hamburg on Sunday. The Karl Burke trained Convergent raced handily throughout the Group 1 German Derby before hitting the front early in the homestraight. Despite coming under strong pressure, Clifford Lee's mount responded well and look set for Classic glo...
The Coral Eclipse Stakes at Sandown lived up to its billing on Saturday with Delacroix atoning for his disappointing performance in the Epsom Derby gaining a last gasp victory under an inspired ride by Ryan Moore. A neck winner from Ombudsman, it was Aidan O'Brien's ninth win in the ten furlongs event - his seventh with a three year old. Only ninth at Epsom, the Dubawi colt appeared to be struggli...
It is fair to say it was a mixed afternoon at Sandown on Friday for Colin Keane. Ireland's champion jockey steered Kassaya to victory in the five furlongs handicap for three year olds. Not seen since finishing on the bridle in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (off 380 days), the lightly raced filly was only having her fourth start and making her handicap debut off a mark of 88. The d...
Richard Hughes' juveniles have been in decent form this term with 8 winners from 39 runners (21%) and the Lambourn trainer introduced a smart looking filly at Haydock on Thursday. America Queen is a daughter of Havana Grey who was purchased for €180,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland breeze-up sale in late May. Owned by Jaber Abdullah, the grey filly may not have been the quickest into stride but...
Having been racing a few days towards the end of last week, I have been catching up watching replays etc since. Working at York on Saturday, the feature event was the Group 3 Criterium Stakes which was won by Quinault. Stuart Williams' stable star made all the running under Jason Hart and never looked like being headed. A triple Listed winner over six furlongs, the five year old showed a lot of sp...
Only The Bold provided Value Racing Club with more big race success when gaining a thrilling success in the £39,022 Summer Cup Handicap Chase at Uttoxeter on Sunday. The ten year old, who was having only his third start for Jamie Snowden, had finished strongly at Aintree on his previous start and the extra furlong here proved to his liking. Given a terrific ride by Gavin Sheehan, the Jeremy ...
Saqqara Sands was recommended for the Listed Eternal Stakes at Carlisle on Wednesday in the Names To Note section in the Royal Ascot Update and the Ralph Beckett trained filly didn't disappoint. The daughter of Oasis Dream had caught the eye on her reappearance in another Listed event at Epsom's Derby Festival finishing second behind the well regarded Formal earlier this month. She confirmed that ...
Stimulative Trip (20/1) was one of Bromley's Best Buys juveniles to follow in Ahead On The Flat and the daughter of Hello Youmzain scored at the first time of asking at Newbury on Tuesday evening. Owned by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, she was bought for 68,000gns and trained by David Menuisier. Having travelled well, she led over a furlong out in the seven furlongs fillies' novices stakes before ...
The Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes provided the highlight on the final day of Royal Ascot on Saturday with two top-class sprinters going toe to toe inside the final furlong. Lazzat gained his second win at the highest level getting the better of Japanese challenger Satono Reve by half a length with three lengths back to the third. A recent purchase for Wathan Racing, the four year old g...
