Telescope could get a second chance of lifting a Group One in the £800,000 Juddmonte International at York on Wednesday week.

The talented four-year-old, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, will have a workout this Wednesday morning, but seems poised to drop back in trip on the Knavesmire.

The dual Group Two winner over a mile and a half was swept aside by the brilliant filly Taghrooda in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last month on his first attempt at the highest level.

Kingman remains in Marois hunt.

Quote:

Kingman is one of eight horses still in contention for the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville on Sunday.

John Gosden's colt has produced imperious displays in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood to confirm himself Europe's top miler and is set for his French debut.

Richard Hannon has left in Sussex runner-up Toronado and his other crack miler Olympic Glory, with the latter seemingly the most likely runner.

Taghrooda tops nine in Oaks.

Quote:

John Gosden's superstar filly Taghrooda is one of nine remaining possibles in Thursday's Darley Yorkshire Oaks at York.

Her progression this season has been startling, from winning a Listed race on her reappearance via Classic glory in the Investec Oaks.

Connections were then rewarded for taking the bold decision to skip the Irish Oaks in favour of taking on the older colts in the King George And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, where she was ultra-impressive.

Australia camp expect trip to suit.

Australia tries what connections feel could be his ideal distance of a mile and a quarter for the first time in the Juddmonte International at York on Wednesday.

A son of Galileo out of the brilliant race mare Ouija Board, Australia has shown he can mix it at the top level over a mile and a mile and a half so far this season.

His close-up third behind Night Of Thunder and the brilliant Kingman in the 2000 Guineas reads well given a mile was always likely to be on the sharp side for him and he did what he was bred to do by winning the Epsom Derby before a similarly dominant display in the Irish equivalent.

Australia stylishly added to his increasingly impressive roll of honour by winning the Juddmonte International Stakes at York.

Aidan O'Brien's dual Derby winner was tackling his elders for the first time but he oozed class throughout under the trainer's son Joseph.

Another of the three-year-olds in the line-up, French Derby winner The Grey Gatsby, gave valiant chase but was beaten by a comfortable two lengths by the 8-13 favourite.

Game Postponed dominates Voltigeur.

Quote:

Postponed ran out an impressive winner of the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes at York in the late absence of Derby runner-up Kingston Hill.

Ridden confidently by Andrea Atzeni, the 5-2 favourite took up the running from the free-going Odeon with two furlongs to run. Snow Sky had tracked Postponed along the straight and while Sir Michael Stoute's inmate beat the rest easily, he was two and a quarter lengths behind the winner. Odeon stuck on for third at 40-1 for James Given

Tapestry weaves Taghrooda downfall.

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

Quote:

A Ladies Day crowd on the Knavesmire was left as surprised as connections of Taghrooda as the unbeaten record of a filly that had looked little short of exceptional was ended by Tapestry in the Darley Yorkshire Oaks.

After her heroics in the Investec Oaks and the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes, this latest Group One was expected to be little more than a warm-up for a probable challenge for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Ebor hero held in high Regard.

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

Quote:

Mutual Regard gave former top-class jockey Johnny Murtagh a headline winner as a trainer with victory in the Betfred Ebor at York.

Given a cool ride by 5lb claimer Louis Steward, the 20-1 chance was handy just off the pace cut out by Dare To Achieve, with Retirement Plan and Mighty Yar others towards the fore early on.

The eventual winner could be spotted moving strongly down the straight in his cheekpieces, and when Steward eased to the front inside the two-furlong marker he had enough in the tank to get the better of a battle with Van Percy by a length and a quarter.

Frankie has Wow factor.

Quote:

Frankie Dettori bagged a Group One double with The Wow Signal and Ribbons as British raiders dominated at Deauville.

John Quinn's top-class juvenile The Wow Signal got the better of fellow Royal Ascot hero Hootenanny to maintain his unbeaten record in the Prix Morny.

The triumph was a first Group One success on the Flat for the North Yorkshire handler, meaning he joins an elite band of trainers to have trained a top-level winner on the level and over jumps, with Countrywide Flame clinching the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle in 2012.

Injury blow derails Faydhan season.

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

Quote:

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's exciting prospect Faydhan has suffered a setback that could rule him out for the rest of the season.

The son of War Front was in contention for several of the top two-year-old races this term after he impressively defeated last week's Acomb Stakes winner Dutch Connection by six lengths on his debut at Haydock on July 3.

That victory took him towards the top of the ante-post market for the Qipco 2000 Guineas, but t he John Gosden-trained colt has sustained a leg injury that has put all plans on hold.
