John Gosden has raised the possibility of Kingman stepping up in trip next season if the brilliant colt stays in training.

Since his narrow reverse in the 2000 Guineas, the three-year-old has confirmed himself the star turn in the mile division with thrilling victories in the Irish Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes, Sussex Stakes and Prix Jacques le Marois.

Fabre has high hopes for Fintry.

Quote:

Andre Fabre expects Fintry to put up a good show despite an enforced 90-day lay-off when she returns in the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Atalanta Stakes at Sandown Park.

The master French trainer has stressed the Godolphin filly will need the run after being ill during the summer, but he believes she will do herself justice on her comeback run.

Fabre strikes with Fintry.

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

Quote:

Fintry oozed class as she overcame a 7lb penalty and a 90-day absence to land the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Atalanta Stakes at Sandown Park.

Andre Fabre's French raider (6-4 favourite) had been laid low with a cough since winning a Group Two at Chantilly on her previous start, but that did not stop her making a successful return as she warmed up for a crack at the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.

She bounded clear under Maxime Guyon after heading the pacesetting Audacia and came home a length and a quarter clear of the staying-on Odeliz, with Water Hole third.

Noble on Champion Mission.

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

Quote:

Noble Mission is set to be at the forefront of a strong British representation in the €1 million Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on September 13.

The five-year-old full brother to Frankel tasted Group One glory in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in May and crosses the Irish Sea on the back of near misses in France and Germany.

"The ground isn't vital for him and it is not that he doesn't handle good or faster ground, it is just that he handles soft ground better than others," said owner Khalid Abdullah's racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe.

Aidan O'Brien reports Leading Light to be in tip-top shape ahead of the Palmerstown House Estate Irish St Leger at the Curragh on September 14.

Last year's Ladbrokes St Leger winner goes for his second Classic in good form having won all his three starts this season including the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

The four-year-old returned after a break to win the Irish St Leger Trial over the full course and distance.

Arc favourite 'not for sale'

The owners of Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe favourite Sea The Moon plan to keep the unbeaten three-year-old in training next season.

Niko Lafrentz, whose family bred and own the son of Sea The Stars, has turned down numerous offers for the 11-length German Derby winner.

He is due to have his prep race for Longchamp in the Grosser Preis von Baden this weekend and speaking to www.GermanRacingReview.com, Lafrentz said the Markus Klug-trained colt would not be sold at any price.

G Force lived up to his name as he powered home to give trainer David O'Meara and jockey Danny Tudhope their first domestic Group One success in the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock.

The three-year-old had always been highly thought of by connections but had not been blessed with luck when stepped up in grade, most notably when a close sixth to Sole Power in the Nunthorpe at York last month.

Sea The Moon eclipsed by Ivanhowe.

Quote:

German sensation Sea The Moon suffered an unexpected first defeat of his career when only second in the Grosser Preis Von Baden.

Not seen since his spectacular victory in the Deutsches Derby back in early July, Markus Klug's colt was reported not to be at peak fitness but was still fancied to take this Group One event before heading on to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Cristian Demuro found himself in front in the early stages but Sea The Moon could not cope with a strong run down the stands rail by Ivanhowe, who came well clear in the closing stages.

Smooth as Silk in Park Hill.

Luca Cumani's Silk Sari absolutely bolted up in Doncaster's DFS Park Hill Stakes.

Joint-owned and bred by Fittocks Stud, managed by the trainer's wife, Sara, she went off at 8-1 for what is known as the fillies' St Leger after landing a Listed event at Newbury in early August.

Kiyoshi rules supreme in Sceptre.

Kiyoshi proved her considerable talents remain very much intact with a brilliant victory under the soon-to-retire Jamie Spencer in the Japan Racing Association Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster.

The Charlie Hills-trained three-year-old looked a potential world-beater following a brilliant display in last year's Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and subsequent placed efforts in the Moyglare and Cheveley Park Stakes meant connections headed into the winter with realistic ambitions of Classic glory. But the dream was short-lived, with an early-season illness meaning she did not return until the Coronation Stakes in June.

Kingston Hill stayed on best of all to lift the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster.

The 9-4 favourite had been a doubt for the race due to the ground, but the Derby runner-up was given a fine waiting ride by Andrea Atzeni to deliver both his and trainer Roger Varian's first British Classic.
