Re: Horse Racing
Old pals make Cookie look clever.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Former jumping acquaintances Peter Niven and Graham Lee teamed up on the Flat to take the honours with mud-lover Clever Cookie in the Boodles Diamond Ormonde Stakes at Chester.
It was a memorable moment for Niven as he provided Grand National-winning rider Lee with his last ever winner over jumps with Posh Bird in the North Yorkshire Grand National at Catterick in January 2012.

Re: Horse Racing
Believe is new star for Fabre.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Make Believe gave Andre Fabre his sixth win in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) when making all to beat his stablemate New Bay in impressive style at Longchamp.
The highly regarded Highland Reel broke well for Ryan Moore but could never build on his good early position and Aidan O'Brien's representative finished only sixth, never threatening to take a hand in the finish.

Ervedya denies game Rookie.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Jean-Claude Rouget hailed a filly who "has it all" after Ervedya gave the trainer back-to-back victories in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas) when pouncing late at Longchamp.
Successful 12 months ago with Avenir Certain, Rouget struck again with a talented filly, this time owned by the Aga Khan.

Re: Horse Racing
Park out to make Classic impact.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Elm Park will put his Investec Derby credentials on the line in a red-hot renewal of the Betfred Dante Stakes at York on Thursday - with trainer Andrew Balding believing his runner can have a "big impact" on the premier Classic.

Star must step up - Dettori.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Frankie Dettori feels Star Of Seville needs to put in a career-best performance if she is to win the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York on Wednesday.
The John Gosden-trained three-year-old takes on four rivals in the Group Three mile-and-a-quarter contest as she looks to strengthen her claims for next month's Investec Oaks.

Re: Horse Racing
Horn trumpets Classic claims.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Golden Horn ran out a thoroughly impressive winner of the Betfred Dante at York.
William Buick's mount was the perceived second string of John Gosden's two runners, going off at odds of 4-1 as opposed to 2-1 favourite and stablemate Jack Hobbs with both colts unbeaten heading into the key Derby trial.

Gesture makes all in Middleton.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Secret Gesture led from pillar to post as she returned to action with a Group Three win in the Betfred Middleton Stakes at York.
The Ralph Beckett-trained five-year-old finished second in the race in 2014 but went one place better in some style as she held off Talmada by a length and half.

Re: Horse Racing
Sky's the limit for Stoute.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...Stoute&day=Sat
Quote:
Snow Sky and Brown Panther will not meet in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot next month following their swashbuckling duel in the Betway Yorkshire Cup on the Knavesmire.
The former narrowly seized the day in a fine renewal of York's big staying prize, but trainer Sir Michael Stoute has mapped out an even more exotic adventure for the progressive four-year-old colt than a return to Berkshire this summer.

Re: Horse Racing
Thunder strikes for the boys in blue.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Richard Hannon gained a famous one-two in the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes as Night Of Thunder beat stablemate Toormore at a sun-kissed Newbury.
But the trainer was partially eclipsed on a miserable day for bookmakers, who had to endure housewives' favourite Ryan Moore notching a fantastic 1,962-1 five-timer from six rides.

Re: Horse Racing
Weld respects Horn claims.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Dermot Weld admits Golden Horn will be tough to beat in the Investec Derby but he is happy with the way Zawraq is progressing ahead of the Classic.
The Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned colt bypassed his intended prep in the Derrinstown Derby Trial as he had missed a piece of work and Weld did not want to risk him on very soft ground.
|
Hannon duo primed for Guineas.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Richard Hannon will launch a twin assault on Saturday's Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas with both Ivawood and Estidhkaar set to line up at the Curragh.
Ivawood put a rather dull reappearance in the Greenham behind him when finishing third to Gleneagles at Newmarket.

Re: Horse Racing
Hobbs to race in Godolphin blue.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Godolphin have bought into the partnership that owns Dante Stakes runner-up Jack Hobbs, who will race in the royal blue colours of Sheikh Mohammed's operation and remain in training with John Gosden.

Legatissimo in Oaks reckoning.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Legatissimo is in line to bid for a Classic double after trainer David Wachman confirmed the Investec Oaks as the "most likely target" for his 1000 Guineas heroine.
The daughter of Danehill Dancer finished with a flourish to clinch Group One glory on the Rowley Mile at the start of the month in hands of Ryan Moore, but has not been left in this weekend's Irish 1,000 Guineas following the confirmation stage.

Re: Horse Racing
The eagle roars to classic glory.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Gleneagles overcame trouble in running to complete a Classic double in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.
Ryan Moore had to wait for a gap on the Newmarket Guineas hero, but he was never flustered and once in the clear the Aidan O'Brien-trained 2-5 favourite showed his class as he produced a tremendous turn of foot.

Re: Horse Racing
Mustajeeb sprints to it.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Mustajeeb marked himself out as the emerging force on the sprinting scene with victory in what looked a strong renewal of the Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh.

Re: Horse Racing
Guineas glory for Pleascach.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Jim Bolger's filly Pleascach repelled hot favourite Found to claim Classic glory in the Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh.
Having won the 10-furlong Blue Wind Stakes at Naas less than a fortnight ago in spectacular fashion, it was no surprise to see her ridden positively back over the mile by Kevin Manning, tracking pacesetting stable companions Mainicin and Steip Amach.

More Curragh Gold for Kazeem.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Popular veteran Al Kazeem clinched another Group One prize in a thrilling renewal of the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.
|
Super Solow takes Longchamp prize.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Freddy Head's superstar Solow is set to grace Royal Ascot next month after coming out well on top of Cirrus Des Aigles in a clash of the top geldings in the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp.
Gailo Chop took the runners along in the four-runner Group One event and still held the upper hand two furlongs out, but Maxime Guyon always cut a confident figure on Solow and smoothly picked up the leader at the furlong pole before clearing away.
