Day four of the Qatar Goodwood Festival was lit up by two stunning performances. Baaeed made it four out of four in the Group 3 Thoroughbred Stakes over a mile. William Haggas' colt had destroyed some smart rivals in Listed company at Newmarket earlier this month and produced a similar effort here on rain softened ground. Once again, the son of Sea The Stars wasn't the quickest into stride but he ...
There is little doubt that Goodwood is one of the most picturesque racecourses in the world but it has always been one of the trickiest as far as punting is concerned. This week's five day Qatar Festival has been no different. Last weekend, Dave Ord of Sportinglife.com asked me to write an article highlighting five horses to watch out for over the week. Onasis ran a blinder finishing a close secon...
Alan King has trained 15 Cheltenham Festival winners but the head of Barbury Castle has made an increasing impact on the Flat in recent years. David Nicholson's former assistant enjoyed his first Group 1 winner on the level on Tuesday when Trueshan captured the Goodwood Cup. A Group 2 winner at Ascot last October, the five year old had run well behind Japan in the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester...
Twenty years after Galileo achieved the notable Epsom Derby/King George double, the Godolphin owned Adayar managed to do the same with a terrific performance at Ascot on Saturday. Racing on fast ground for the first time, he was a four and a half lengths scorer at Epsom under Adam Kirby and produced an even better performance here beating some top-class rivals. Mishriff looked a huge threat a furl...
Grand National winning trainer David Pipe sent out 52 winners last season, including six Graded victories. Adagio provided Pond House Stables with more Grade 1 success in the Finale Hurdle at Chepstow in January before finishing runner-up in the Triumph Hurdle. The four year old ought to be a real force in the top two miles handicap hurdles this season. David has been a regular contributor to One ...
As discussed, the prep work for One Jump Ahead is well underway and I conducted the first interviews for the new edition on Tuesday. I am grateful to both Kim Bailey and Philip Hobbs, who both gave up some of their time to run through their string for the 2021/22 campaign. Both trainers enjoyed Grade 1 success last winter and the pair have some exciting prospects for the new season. Each has recru...
Having tipped Astro King in the Royal Hunt Cup in the Royal Ascot Update last month, I must confess to having a feeling of being hard done by with the Godolphin owned Real World beating Sir Michael Stoute's runner by nearly five lengths with the pair separated by the width of the track. However, Saeed Bin Suroor's four year old proved it wasn't a fluke by following up in Listed company at Newbury ...
Starman was forced to miss the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last month due to soft ground but his connections patience was rewarded as the four year old won the July Cup at Newmarket in devastating fashion. Coltish beforehand, the son of Dutch Art also got warm but it didn't prevent him from beating a top-class field of sprinters by upwards of a length and a quarter. In doing so, he was p...
Things didn't go to plan for Al Aasy in the Group 2 Princess of Wales's Stakes with William Haggas' four year old unable to reel in Sir Ron Priestley in the closing stages. Beaten a neck, the son of Sea The Stars held every chance inside the final furlong but found Mark Johnston's winner too strong in the latter stages. Perhaps the ground was too lively for the runner-up but either way it was disa...
Having finished third on his first two starts this season, Imperial Sun appreciated the step up to a mile and a half for the first time at Wolverhampton on Tuesday. Racing off a mark of 77, Robert Havlin's partner was anchored in the rear early on before making his move rounding the hometurn. Leading over a furlong out, he only had to be nudged out to register and a four and a half lengths victory...
