All eyes will be on Telescope as the much-vaunted colt finally gets the chance to fulfil his destiny when he goes for Group One glory in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

Ardent supporters would have expected him to have had the opportunity earlier, preferably in last year's Derby, but trainer Sir Michael Stoute is renowned for his patient approach and has been firmly focused on ensuring the horse reaches his full potential.

Taghrooda queen of Ascot.

Taghrooda struck for the younger generation when beating a stellar field in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

The Investec Oaks winner maintained her unbeaten record as she swept past Telescope and Mukhadram to land the high-summer showpiece in convincing fashion.

Taghrooda (7-2), trained by John Gosden and ridden by Paul Hanagan, won by an impressive three lengths from the favourite Telescope, with Mukhadram just a short head away in third.

Consistent sprinter Es Que Love earned a deserved return to the winner's enclosure with a stylish performance in the bet365 Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Since joining trainer Clive Cox from Mark Johnston at the start of the season, Es Que Love has been placed in the Abernant at Newmarket, the Duke of York Stakes and most recently the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury

John Gosden's grip on the top level of British Flat racing tightened even further as Kingman again showed stunning acceleration to prise Goodwood's Qipco Sussex Stakes away from Toronado.

Clarehaven Stables has unleashed a legitimate champion colt and filly in less than a week, as Kingman's victory over older horses followed just four days after Taghrooda managed the same in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Age no burden for Cavalryman.

A resurgent Cavalryman met the specialist demands of the Sussex Downs better than his opponents as he led home Ahzeemah in an Artemis Goodwood Cup one-two for trainer Saeed bin Suroor.

The same could not be said for The Queen's 2-1 favourite Estimate, who has finished first and second in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot but was a bitterly disappointing last.

Sultanina shines in Nassau.

Sultanina cut down French filly Narniyn to give John Gosden a hat-trick of victories in the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.

William Buick's mount stormed past the 7-4 favourite inside the last 100 yards to claim the Group One honours by a length and a half, with Irish challenger Venus De Milo in third.

Sultanina (11-2) was stepping down in trip after losing her 100 per cent record in the Lancashire Oaks last time, when second to stablemate Pomology.

Taghrooda heading for York.

Connections of Taghrooda report the exciting filly to be on course for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks on August 21.

John Gosden's star is unbeaten in four starts, winning the Investec Oaks before recording an extremely rare victory for a three-year-old filly in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

Taghrooda is likely to be prepared for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe before she is retired to stud by owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.

Strong entries for Champions cards.

Potential British raiders Integral and Rizeena are among 38 fillies and mares in contention for the Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on September 13.

The 300,000 euro Group One contest takes places on the first day of the inaugural Irish Champions Weekend and a strong field looks in prospect.

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Integral claimed Group One glory in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket last month and could be set for a fascinating rematch with Clive Brittain's runner-up Rizeena, who won the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Saeed bin Suroor will be out to improve on an already impressive record in the German-Thoroughbred.com Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket when he saddles the once-raced Winters Moon for the Godolphin team.

Godolphin have dominated the Group Three race since 2009, winning it every time including with three from the bin Suroor yard in Long Lashes, White Moonstone and Ihtimal.

Muraaqaba stayed on best of all to come out on top in the German-Thoroughbred.com Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket.

Winner of her maiden on the July course in June, the Mark Johnston-trained filly returned to Headquarters on the back of a perfectly adequate fourth place in the Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot and was trying seven furlongs for the first time.

Olivier Peslier's performance helped Europe to defend the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup by just a point from an Emma-Jayne Wilson-inspired Girls team as the competition went right down to the wire at Ascot.

Canadian Wilson lit up the event with her enthusiasm and charisma, and was cruelly denied the points for both the team and Silver Saddle leading individual rider awards by Peslier himself in the Classic.

Garswood strikes Deauville gold>

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun

Quote:

Garswood finally claimed the big prize he has often promised with victory in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville.

Partnered by Gerald Mosse over the rarely run trip of six and a half furlongs, the son of Dutch Art raced on the outside of the Group One field, tracking the well-touted Thawaany as Irish challenger Fiesolana took the 14 runners along.

It looked for a while as though Fiesolana might keep them all at bay, but she began to falter as Mosse produced Garswood to perfection around a furlong and a half out to get the better of a battle with Thawaany by half a length.
