Daryz handed International mission at York

/in /by

Daryz is on course for next week’s Juddmonte International at York after satisfying connections in a gallop on Thursday morning.

The Sea The Stars colt is in unbeaten in four races this term having been unraced at two last year and as a Group Two winner last time out, his team feel the timing is right for him to step into the best company.

Nemone Routh, racing manager for owners the Aga Khan Studs, confirmed that Daryz sufficiently impressed trainer Francis-Henri Graffard and is set to run on Wednesday.

“I’ve spoken to the trainer and jockey because Mickael Barzalona rode him and they were very happy with his piece of work. He’d taken a step forward from his piece of work last week and they were very happy with his condition,” said Routh.

“He worked with Sibayan and Surabad, a Group Two winner and Group Three placed so good horses, and after it the plan is now to run at York if everything goes fine.

“It’s obviously a big ask from what he has been doing so far. The field is a strong one and we’re under no illusions it’s going to be a very tough race, but Francis took the view that the horse is in great form, it will be fast ground which he handles well and we’ve always rated him, so we’ll see how good he is next week.”

Daryz has yet to venture further than ParisLongchamp and Saint-Cloud and Routh admits travelling for the first time to potentially take on the likes of Eclipse victor Delacroix and Japanese runner Danon Decile presents a real test.

“Francis just wanted to see that the horse was on good terms with himself, which he showed us this morning, but the question mark with him is he has been learning on the job, he’s still a bit immature,” said Routh.

“It’s going to be a lot for him to travel for the first time, see everything new and then come up against such a top-class field as well. That’s the caveat with him.

“We were very impressed last time though, in a race which wasn’t run to suit him. He pulled too hard as they were crawling but then he really picked up. That was a Group Two so you feel it makes sense to run in a Group One and this came up at the right time.”

A total of nine horses have been confirmed, with Aidan O’Brien responsible for Delacroix, dual Derby hero Lambourn, who also has the Great Voltiguer as an option, and the top-class filly Whirl.

John and Thady Gosden’s Prince of Wales’s scorer Ombudsman will have the benefit of a pacemaker in the supplemented Birr Castle, with See The Fire and Anmaat also left in.

Helvic Dream team lose Galway Hurdle appeal

/in /by

Connections of Helvic Dream have lost their appeal against the decision of the stewards to demote their horse to second in the Galway Hurdle.

Helvic Dream and Donagh Meyler won by a head but the stewards deemed there was enough interference caused to Jack Kennedy and Ndaawi to change the finishing order.

Meade’s appeal was considered at a Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board hearing on Wednesday, with Mrs Justice Siobhan Keegan outlining the decision on behalf of the Appeals Body.

She said: “The ultimate decision that we have to reach is whether the stewards erred in their decision on the day and whether we should uphold the decision or reach a different view on this.

“Having viewed all the recordings of the race and considered all of the evidence we have to come to our decision, mindful that these determinations are on the balance of probabilities. We also want to say that we can well see why an appeal has been brought in this case.

“In coming to our conclusion… we cannot be satisfied that the stewards erred in their decision to reverse the placings.

“In summary that is because interference has occurred, and it was caused by Mr Meyler. Whilst Mr Kennedy’s horse may not have obviously lost its own momentum, he was clearly significantly pressed for space so near the rail and he was not able to ride his strongest race. We must therefore dismiss the appeal.”

Meade’s deposit was returned.

Morris Dancer shows off winning moves at Salisbury

/in /by

William Buick teamed up with John and Thady Gosden to ride a Listed race double at Salisbury through Morris Dancer and Miss Justice.

The victory of Morris Dancer in the three-runner British Stallion Studs EBF Stonehenge Stakes was more expected, but nevertheless he was sent off a 11-10 chance with A Bit Of Spirit the 5-6 favourite.

Morris Dancer had pushed Zavateri close at Goodwood in the Vintage Stakes and back down in grade had little trouble in winning by four lengths.

Buick said: “It was a quick turnaround from Goodwood where he had shown signs of inexperience.

“The way he jumped from the stalls that day, we were too far behind but he still ran a huge race.

“It’s lovely to see him back it up here today and I was really happy with what he did, he’s improving with all his racing.

“He’s learning on the job but is very straightforward, you can place him anywhere and I do think he’s improving.

“We wanted a tow into the race, it was a fair run race and you can take a bit out of it, everyone had their shot.

“I don’t think he’d mind a bit of juice in the ground but he gets the job done. He stayed a mile but I think he’d also be happy back at seven furlongs.”

Miss Justice’s win in the British Stallion Studs EBF Upavon Fillies’ Stakes was a bit more of a surprise as she had been busy on the all-weather and looked to have a bit to find on the figures but she was still only an 11-2 chance.

The four-year-old had to survive being caught badly short of room before the turn for home and the persistent challenge of Ralph Beckett’s Revoir but battled back to win by a head.

“She’s been a filly we’ve always liked and has a brilliant pedigree, being by Justify and out of a sister to Timepiece,” Thady Gosden told Racing TV.

“She’s been a bit unlucky this year but won well at Southwell last time out, albeit she was back in trip today.

“She got badly cut up out in the country but the jockey seemed more annoyed than her!

“It’s fantastic for her owners to win this today and we’ll just enjoy that.”

Lambourn still ‘definitely’ in the Voltigeur mix, says O’Brien

/in /by

Aidan O’Brien is giving serious consideration to running his dual Derby winner Lambourn in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York next week.

The Australia colt emulated his sire by striking Classic gold at Epsom and the Curragh in June and is now ready to step up his preparations for a major autumn target.

For a long time another Classic bid in the St Leger at Doncaster seemed likely, but with stablemate Scandinavia throwing his hat into that particular ring with victory in the Goodwood Cup, Lambourn may instead be bound for Paris and a tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

When asked whether Lambourn could step back to Group Two level on the Knavesmire, O’Brien told Sky Sports Racing: “He could, we’ve a lot of horses kind of ready for the Voltigeur, some are just about ready and some are probably not going to make it.

“Lambourn definitely could. We’ll see how he is and his next target then can be either the Leger or the Arc. I think the lads are thinking Scandinavia is going to be trained for the Leger now – if the ground was nice he would go there and Lambourn wouldn’t go there, but if it was the other way Lambourn would go there.

“Lambourn probably needs a race between now and the Leger or the Arc and it (Great Voltigeur) is a race that could suit him.

“He’s a straightforward, honest, no-nonsense horse. He does what he has to do and doesn’t do any more.”

Another Ballydoyle inmate with Arc aspirations is last year’s third Los Angeles, who made an excellent start to his campaign with successive wins at the Curragh but could finish only fifth as a hot favourite for the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Having since enjoyed a mid-season break, he is set to return to competitive action in the Newbridge Silverware Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday.

“We were thinking he could go to the Royal Whip and go and improve a lot,” O’Brien added.

“He’s had a break since Ascot and we were thinking if he went to the Curragh this weekend he could go to the Prix Foy as an Arc trial or he could go to the Irish Champion Stakes as an Arc trial.

“All those things are open, but he’s just starting back and he’ll be running with no pressure win, lose or draw (this weekend). We’d just like to get a run into him to get him ready for the autumn.

“The Arc has been his target all the time. We tightened him up a bit too much in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes and because of that he just had to have a little rest. He’s come back happy, but will progress a lot before the Arc.”

O’Brien also had news of Henri Matisse, last seen finishing third in the Sussex Stakes behind shock 150-1 winner Qirat.

O’Brien said: “He’ll go probably for the Prix du Moulin. Goodwood was a little bit of a disaster – it was really only a four-furlong dash in the second half of the race.

“It was one of those races that is hard to work out, but we were very happy with the run, Ryan (Moore) was very happy with him and we think he’s still progressing.

“We haven’t seen the best of him yet, we think.”

Jm Jungle pleases in final gallop ahead of Nunthorpe

/in /by

Jm Jungle came through his final piece of work before next week’s Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York with flying colours.

John and Sean Quinn’s five-year-old has a remarkably consistent profile for a five-furlong sprinter, and won the Dash at Epsom in June.

He has now progressed out of handicap company and won the Group Two King George Stakes at Goodwood, sparking dreams of a second Nunthorpe in four years for the Quinns, who won with Highfield Princess in 2022.

“He came out of Goodwood absolutely fine and he’s looking well,” said John Quinn.

“He did a little piece of work this (Wednesday) morning and that will be his final piece before the Nunthorpe. We’re happy with him and he’s in good shape.

“We haven’t seen a massive change in him at home this year but he’s definitely stronger. He’s an adequate work horse without being a very good one but he’s sharper.

“He’s a five-year-old gelding now, he’s a sprinter finding his mojo and improving. All he’s done for the last season and a half is improve and improve.

“We keep seeing it and he’s another example that there’s very little between those top handicap sprinters and the Group horses.

“We’re delighted with him and looking forward to York.”

Rain – or lack of it – remains a pain for connections of Anmaat

/in /by

Anmaat appears unlikely to line up in next week’s Juddmonte International, despite the fact connections are “desperate to run him” on the Knavesmire.

Last season’s Champion Stakes hero has only been seen twice this season, pushing Los Angeles close in the Tattersalls Gold Cup in Ireland before finishing best of the rest behind Ombudsman in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Having since sidestepped the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, trainer Owen Burrows and owners Shadwell are keen to run him at York, but underfoot conditions could again scupper his participation.

“We’re desperate to run him, but he won’t be there if it’s very fast ground and it doesn’t sound like there’s a lot of rain around,” said Shadwell’s racing manager Angus Gold.

“I was going to talk to Owen before confirmations. He says the horse is bouncing and he really wants to run him, but we’ve got the autumn ahead of us and at some stage the weather must turn.

“I fear we may not be there next week.”

Should Anmaat miss York, his next option appears to be be the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown next month ahead of the planned defence of his Champion Stakes crown at Ascot in October.

Definitely on course for York, however, is Delacroix, with Aidan O’Brien still gobsmacked by the manner of his Sandown victory, where he reeled in Ombudsman from a seemingly impossible position.

“It was the most amazing thing I ever saw, I think. He could not win at the two-furlong marker, everything had gone sideways on him, and when Ryan (Moore) got him out he still had too much ground to make up,” the Ballydoyle trainer told Sky Sports Racing.

“I think his times suggested no horse has ever covered the last two furlongs in an Eclipse the way he did and he won with his ears pricked.

“In the Derby he got taken out at the top of the hill and Ryan said it was race over straight away. We found it very easy to put a line through it, we thought a mile and a quarter was his distance and he’d two lovely runs before the Derby over a mile and a quarter.”

Ascot run might not add up for Haggas’ Economics

/in /by

William Haggas fears Champions Day at Ascot on October 18 will come too soon for Economics, with winter targets in the Middle East now more likely.

Last year’s Dante and Irish Champion Stakes winner was being readied for a Royal Ascot return but met with a setback.

It has been a slow recovery for the four-year-old, and Haggas is almost on the verge of admitting defeat in him running in Europe this year.

“He had an injury in the run up to Ascot and he’s not going to make Ireland, I’ve taken him out of Ireland but I’ve left him in the Champion Stakes,” Haggas told Sky Sports Racing.

“I suspect he might not even be ready to run his best by then, so somewhere in the Middle East in the winter could be his first port of call.

“I’m delighted to say his sporting owner has confirmed he’s going to stay in training next year and I hope we’ll get a clear run with him then.

“It’s been a sensationally frustrating time for us with him.”

Eclipse injury forces Camille Pissarro retirement

/in /by

Prix du Jockey Club winner Camille Pissarro has been retired due to an injury sustained while running in the Coral-Eclipse.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, the Wootton Bassett colt also won at the highest level as a juvenile when taking the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere by a neck from Rashabar.

Third to stablemate Henri Matisse in the French 2000 Guineas, the step up in trip suited him in the French Derby and stud plans will be announced shortly.

O’Brien told Coolmore: “Camille Pissarro pulled a shoe at Sandown and was quite sore afterwards.

“We had him X-rayed, and a fissure fracture was found in his fetlock. The decision was then made to retire him.

“Camille Pissarro was an extremely classy colt; he had speed and class. He won the Lagardere on Arc weekend last year at two, and then he showed everyone how good he was in the French Derby. He was very classy.”

Field Of Gold pleasing Gosden with setback recovery

/in /by

John Gosden has issued an upbeat bulletin on Field Of Gold after the dual Group One winner picked up an injury in his Sussex Stakes defeat at Goodwood.

The colt’s co-trainer is hopeful he will run again this season, with an autumn comeback in mind.

“The good news is he’s come sound. There was considerable filling there, but that itself has diminished now,” he told the Nick Luck Daily podcast.

“We’re gingerly finding our way forward again with some trotting and we may possibly be able to do an easy canter next week.

“It’s one step at a time, it was certainly a significant enough injury, it’s looking like it was a bad wrench of the joint. The filling the next morning was considerable and he was quite lame on it, but fortunately two sets of X-rays and an ultrasound scan have come back clean.

“We put it down to him wrenching a joint in the race as it was noticeable that he didn’t quite level off properly, he was lugging right which means he was trying to keep the weight off it.

“We’ll see what we have in store for him in the future, we won’t be rushing back to any races right now.”

He added: “Very much so, that (autumn) would be the aim. He’s got a great mind on him and from that point of view he’s a pleasure to train.”

Diego Velazquez sold ahead of Jacques le Marois start

/in /by

Diego Velazquez will sport new colours when he runs in the Prix Jacques le Marois on Sunday, after Sam Sangster Bloodstock announced the acquisition of the Frankel colt.

He will remain in training with Aidan O’Brien for the remainder of the 2025 season, with a view to retiring to the National Stud in Newmarket at the end of the year. He will wear the famous silks of the late Robert Sangster in the Marois.

A Group-race winner at two, three and four, most recently in the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh, Diego Velazquez will bid for a first Group One success at Deauville this weekend, where he will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon.

Purchasing the horse for a “high-profile” syndicate, Sangster said: “He is a horse that leaves little to the imagination, he is the stamp of his father and a top-class racehorse to match.

“He’s done it at Group Two level across three seasons and was Classic-placed (fourth in the French 2000 Guineas), which gives him a rare depth of form and longevity.

“The Jacques le Marois is the immediate target, and from there we have a number of exciting Group One races to consider, we are in world-class hands in that respect.

“With the strength of the ownership group and the National Stud behind him, this horse has every chance of being a major success both on the track and at stud we believe he will be very well received by European breeders.”

Diego Velazquez will join the stallion roster at the National Stud for the 2026 breeding season, with further details to be announced in due course, and Sangster said: “We’ve been on the hunt for a horse like this for some time, and I’d like to thank the team at Coolmore for giving us the opportunity to get involved with a colt of his calibre.”

Soumillon’s mount is one of 10 left in the Marois, with O’Brien also responsible for former Derby favourite The Lion In Winter and Rosallion (Richard Hannon), Notable Speech (Charlie Appleby) and Dancing Gemini (Roger Teal) representing British interests.

Sangster added: “He’ll be running in the Sangster family colours, which will be one for the old romantics and it is very exciting, that is for sure.

“It will be a very exciting weekend for us with Rashabar running in the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano on Saturday and Christophe Soumillon is booked to ride both.”

The Lion In Winter has raced over a variety of distances this season, finishing sixth on his belated reappearance in the Dante Stakes at York over a mile and a quarter before coming home 14th of 18 over a mile and a half in the Derby.

He performed far better when a close-up third in the Prix Jean Prat over seven furlongs last time and O’Brien is looking forward to seeing him tackle what he feels could be his optimum trip.

“Everything seems good with The Lion In Winter. Obviously he started back this year late, we just tried to get a run into him for the Derby and he ran in the Dante and looked pacey,” he told Sky Sports Racing.

“You’re never sure and he obviously went to the Derby and it was very apparent very quickly that he was probably a miler the way he went through the race.

“We had our eye on this race, but we felt we had to get a run into him over a shorter distance before he went and the Deauville race was perfect. It was three-year-olds only, we knew he wouldn’t be fully primed up for it as it was first run back after going back a mile and a half over seven furlongs, so we were delighted with the run.

“He ran a lovely race, we’ve been very happy with him since and we’re looking forward to running him over the mile as it’s a distance that’s going to really suit him we think.

“We weren’t expecting him to run that well on his first run back at a shorter distance, but we felt to go to the race on Sunday he had to have a run like that.”

Of Diego Velazquez, he added: “He hasn’t really had the rub of the green, little things have held him up.

“We always felt that he was a miler, we were very happy with his run the last day over seven furlongs which we thought was tight enough for him.

“He’s very well and has made great progress since his last run. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can do as the track and the trip and ground should suit him.”

Cesarewitch next port of call for East India Dock

/in /by

East India Dock is being primed for one more outing on the Flat in the Club Godolphin Cesarewitch Handicap before attentions turn to making his mark in the staying division on his return to hurdles.

James Owen’s dual-purpose star was third in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and wasted little time securing a valuable prize on the level when scooping the Chester Cup in May.

Having felt another prestigious event went begging when sixth in the Northumberland Plate, Owen has his eye on the historic Newmarket marathon on October 11 before switching focus back to timber, where he will have an exciting new target.

“East India Dock has had a small break and is now back in and we’ll aim at the Cesarewitch with him,” said Owen. “He’ll go straight there.

“I feel we missed a chance in the Northumberland Plate and the ground may have been on the lively side for him at Ascot, but Newcastle was our chance.

“It was one of his best runs on figures, but annoyingly he didn’t get a great run round, he got caught wide and shuffled to the back of the field.

“A great big pot on home turf, when hopefully by then they will have had a bit of rain, we think will be ideal and then back over hurdles we will campaign him as a Stayers’ Hurdle horse – I’m sure he will stay well and he gives himself every chance to.”

While East India Dock has key business on the Flat to attend to before changing tack, Owen has already identified the hurdling starting point for stablemate and fellow dual-purpose performer Burdett Road.

Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth Hurdle has been pencilled in as the first stop for the Champion Hurdle runner-up over timber, whose season once again will be geared around an appearance in the Cheltenham Festival’s opening day showpiece.

“Burdett Road’s having a nice break and we might give him one prep run on the Flat before going for the Fighting Fifth,” continued Owen.

“He’ll take the Champion Hurdle route again and will be running in all the big two-mile hurdle races en route to Cheltenham.

“He did very well last year and it will be very tough again, but he’s entitled to be in all those big races and hopefully he can be very competitive in them.”

Radiance should be class act at Salisbury

/in /by

Radiance looks the potential class act on show at Salisbury as she bids to follow up debut success in the Tattersalls £40,000 EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes.

A 150,000 guineas breeze-up purchase by the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing team, the daughter of Farhh was an odds-on favourite for her introduction at Yarmouth in early July and justified that position with an impressive victory.

That form does not look particularly strong, with the runner-up Conjecture beaten twice since and the third home Sing The Blues disappointing at Newbury next time, but what cannot be questioned is the authoritative fashion in which Radiance left that pair trailing in her wake once the penny dropped.

Trainer George Boughey was talking about testing his juvenile in stakes company in the immediate aftermath and this race looks an ideal stepping-stone to something fancier next time.

Emma Lavelle does not have many runners on the Flat, but in Chilli Queen she looks to have inherited a smart one.

Unplaced in two starts for Andrew Balding last year, the three-year-old has looked a different filly since switching yards, with a couple of runner-up finishes followed by a hat-trick of wins.

There was no sign of her progress coming to an end when scoring with a bit in hand at Ascot last time and must have every chance of completing her four-timer in the British EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap.

Shady Bay is expected to complete her hat-trick as the Racing League rolls into town at Windsor.

The daughter of New Bay looked fairly limited after three outings in novice and maiden company, but that allowed her to enter the handicap sphere off a mark in the low-60s and she has steadily improved.

Tom Ward’s filly struggled over a mile and a half in May and June, but was well backed when dropped to a mile and a quarter at Nottingham in early June and the gamble was landed in some style as she fairly bolted up at the chief expense of San Francisco Bay, who went one better next time.

A 6lb rise in the weights was nowhere enough to stop Shady Bay from following up on her most recent appearance at Newbury and while another 6lb hike will make life tougher, she is clearly in the rude health ahead of the Racing League Race 23 Handicap and appears well suited to fast ground.

Shady Bay’s rider Richard Kingscote leads the way in this year’s Racing League jockeys’ standings and could also find the target aboard the Andrew Balding-trained Lieber Power in the £50,000 Racing League Race 27 Handicap.

It has been a little while between drinks for the five-year-old whose last victory came in this team competition at Chepstow 12 months ago.

He attempted to defend his crown in the same race last week in Monmouthshire and while he came up short, there was enough promise in his performance in finishing third to suggest a return to winning ways may not be far away.

Beverley punters are advised to put their faith in Catching The Moon in the curtain-raising Ire-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes.

Richard Fahey’s youngster was unfortunate to bump into the Boughey-trained and Highclere-owned Awaken on her Leicester debut, a filly who had previously picked up the silver medal behind Venetian Sun in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Catching The Moon was clearly best of the rest in the Midlands and a repeat of that effort may well suffice in East Yorkshire.

Dancing Gemini raring to go on Marois return

/in /by

Roger Teal’s Dancing Gemini will head to the Prix Jacques le Marois a fresh horse as he looks to regain the superb form shown earlier in the term.

The son of Camelot won the Doncaster Mile on debut and followed up with a Group Two win in the bet365 Mile at Sandown under Rossa Ryan in late April.

He was then narrowly denied when beaten only half a length by Lead Artist in the Lockinge, but that streak of smart performances came to an end when he could only finish eighth in a slowly-run renewal of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot.

The Marois, a Group One event run over a mile at Deauville on Sunday, is his next port of call, with Ryan taking the ride for the first time since Sandown.

“He’s very well, we’re really happy with him. The Prix Jacques le Marois is the plan now,” Teal said.

“The pace of the race at Ascot was a farce, really, and he probably had a tough enough race in the Lockinge and it took the edge off him.

“The pace was pretty disappointing for a Group One and it turned into a sprint at the end, it was probably a combination of a tough race in the Lockinge and then no pace.

“We’ve freshened him up now, Ascot was his fourth run of the year so he’s had a busy time.

“It was nice to give him a little break after that, we’ve freshened him up and we’ll hopefully regroup.”
