Krypton Factor will be aiming to make amends after his July Cup disappointment in the GT Exhibitions Hackwood Stakes at Newbury.

The five-year-old was withdrawn at the start of the Group One heat at Newmarket after becoming upset in the stalls and bursting out of the gate. He had to pass a stalls test at Newmarket on Friday evening as a result, but came through successfully

Chic success for France

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat

Quote:

Chicquita shed her maiden tag in the best possible fashion with victory in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh.

Alain de Royer-Dupre's filly would have been an easy winner at Saint-Cloud in May but for hanging badly before colliding with a hedge and falling, and she was again awkward when second in the Prix de Diane on her last start. She gave Johnny Murtagh plenty to think about here, too, as she dramatically veered to her left in the closing stages.

Darwin delights for O'Brien

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...;Brien&day=Sat

Quote:

Aidan O'Brien dominated the Curragh undercard on Irish Oaks day when he completed a treble highlighted by a most impressive success for American import Darwin in the Invesco Pension Consultants Minstrel Stakes.

A son of Kentucky Derby hero Big Brown, Darwin looked smart when winning a three-runner race on his Irish debut last month and confirmed that promise with victory in this Grade Three event

Super strike for Fahey and Hanagan.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun

Quote:

Paul Hanagan enjoyed a profitable afternoon at Newbury with a big-race double highlighted by the victory of Peniaphobia for his old ally Richard Fahey in the richly endowed Weatherbys Super Sprint.

For Fahey victory was vindication that this was the ideal race for the 5-1 winner, who had bypassed a trip to Royal Ascot to wait for a tilt at this £250,000 prize - a race so often the calling card of Richard Hannon.

Brits strike out in France

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun

Quote:

Anticipated fared best of the four British raiders as Vorda took her unbeaten record to three in the Prix Robert Papin at Maisons-Laffitte.

Richard Hannon's colt could only finish fifth after being well placed throughout by Richard Hughes in the five-and-a-half-furlong Group Two contest.

Anticipated overturned Royal Ascot form with Extortionist, but Olly Stevens' Windsor Castle winner was a big disappointment. The free-travelling colt was never in the hunt after being slowly away and finished last.

Dank delivers for Stoute

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:

Dank continued Sir Michael Stoute's fine season when lifting the feature Kilboy Estate Stakes (Group Two) at the Curragh in impressive style.

The dual Group Three scorer, a close third in the Duchess Of Cambridge Stake at Royal Ascot, was sent off the 5-4 favourite and was always well positioned just off the pace by Ryan Moore.

Once a gap came Dank swept aside Aloof a furlong and a half out and bolted clear before easily holding Say, who came from out of the pack, by a length and three-quarters, with Caponata third.

Hillstar added to King George.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon

Quote:

Hillstar has, as expected, been supplemented for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.

Sir Michael Stoute's three-year-old claimed the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot last month and owner Sir Evelyn de Rothschild has stumped up the required £75,000 to add him to the field for the midsummer highlight.

Stoute is bidding for a record sixth King George triumph and Hillstar is one of 11 confirmations, with ante-post favourite St Nicholas Abbey one of three possible runners for Aidan O'Brien. The master of Ballydoyle also has Chamonix and Ernest Hemingway in the reckoning.

Rain a pain for Abbey - O'Brien.

Quote:

Joseph O'Brien is praying the rain stays away from Ascot to allow St Nicholas Abbey to show his true brilliance in Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

The six-year-old has finished third in the last two renewals of the midsummer showpiece and returns to England fresh from his third triumph in the Coronation Cup at Epsom - his sixth Group One success.

Abbey career over after injury.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue

Quote:

St Nicholas Abbey, favourite for Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, has suffered a "serious career-ending injury" this morning, Coolmore have confirmed on Twitter.

A son of recently deceased champion sire Montjeu, St Nicholas Abbey was champion two-year-old in 2009 when he crowned his season with a blistering display in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.

Its very sad to hear that news this morning.

Name on King George trail.

Quote:

Very Nice Name is to provide an exotic addition to another global field for Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

While trainer Alban de Mieulle is as French as his own name might suggest, the colt can count as a runner from Qatar as his official stable is in Doha.

De Mieulle dominates the Arabian racing scene in the Gulf state as trainer for the Umm Qarn team, owned by Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani.
