Total Eclipse for classy Kazeem.

Quote:
Al Kazeem landed his third consecutive Group One contest when he won the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown Park.

Sent off the 15-8 favourite after winning the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, the Roger Charlton-trained five-year-old was settled in third for most of the way as Mukhadram led the way, just as he had done when they met at Royal Ascot.

Al Kazeem looked to have the front-runner's measure when brought up to challenge in the final quarter-mile by James Doyle and though he did Mukhadram no favours as he went past, he then raced clear to beat Aidan O'Brien's running-on challenger Declaration Of War by two lengths.

Top jumps owner Johnson dies

Grand National-winning owner David Johnson died on Saturday after a long battle with cancer.

Johnson, 67, had a host of big-race winners over jumps in his famous blue and green silks, but none bigger than the David Pipe-trained Comply Or Die, who landed Aintree glory in 2008 in the hands of Timmy Murphy.

Johnson's colours were also carried to top-level success by crack two-miler Well Chief, winner of the Arkle Trophy, Maghull Novices' Chase and Victor Chandler Chase as well as engaging in famous battles with Azertyuiop and Moscow Flyer.

Another star name was Lady Cricket, who numbered the Thomas Pink Gold Cup at Cheltenham in 2000 on her roll of honour.

Queally was challenged for the lead by Mince, who looked about to get on top, but the grey forced her head back in front and was able to hold off Kingsgate Native's late challenge by a length.
