One Jump Ahead published next Tuesday

Having spoken to the printers on Friday morning, One Jump Ahead is due to be delivered to us on Tuesday next week (30th September) and all pre orders will be sent out as soon as possible.

There is still time to order a copy of the Autumn Update, which places a large emphasis on the action at Newmarket on Saturday, plus races such as the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp and Cesarewitch at Newmarket next month.

While it was disappointing to see Top 40 entry Opera Ballo only finished second in the Group 2 Joel Stakes at Newmarket, it is fair to say Charlie Appleby's runner bumped into a potentially top-class rival in the unbeaten Zeus Olympios. It was Karl Burke's charge who firmly came out on top winning by two and a quarter lengths and he is all set to line up in the top mile events next year with the Lockinge Stakes his likely first port of call. According to the Race Iq data, Clifford Lee's mount hit a top speed of 41.16mph inside the penultimate furlong and covered that section of the track in 10.95 seconds. The runner-up remains a promising type and the pair are likely to meet again in the future.
