ST NICK PRIMED FOR FRANKEL CLASH.

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

Quote:
Aidan O'Brien is looking forward to giving St Nicholas Abbey a crack at superstar Frankel in the Juddmonte International at York on Wednesday week.

While Frankel is unbeaten in 12 career starts, St Nicholas Abbey also boasts impressive credentials, having won four Group One races himself, and he was last seen finishing third in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
INTERNATIONAL DATE FOR TWICE OVER.

Quote:
Frankel will be joined by defending champion and stablemate Twice Over as owner Khalid Abdullah goes all out to land the Juddmonte International at York next week.

The Knavesmire Group One is understandably close to the heart of Juddmonte Farms owner Abdullah, who has sponsored the race for over two decades.

He tasted victory in the 10-furlong contest for the first time 12 months ago, with Twice Over narrowly getting the better of fellow Abdullah-owned and Sir Henry Cecil-trained runner Midday.

Jessica Harrington is looking forward to a crack at next week's Darley Yorkshire Oaks with Bible Belt following an encouraging performance at Leopardstown.

Making her first appearance since finishing fourth in the Tattersalls Gold Cup in May, the four-year-old finished a close third behind Galileo's Choice in last Thursday's Ballyroan Stakes.

Harrington is now ready to pitch the filly into Group One class and is hoping for a sound surface on the Knavesmire.

"He has settled in very well. He is a horse very much for next year, but I think he will run a big race in the Voltigeur," said Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford.

Frankel will face a maximum of nine rivals when he switches up to a mile and a quarter for the first time in Wednesday's Juddmonte International at York.

Frankel's main danger is surely the Aidan O'Brien-trained St Nicholas Abbey. A dual winner of the Coronation Cup at Epsom and a four-time Group One scorer in all, the five-year-old got going all too late when only third in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

FRANKEL IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN.

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

Quote:
Frankel stretched his perfect record to 13 when treating his legion of supporters to another breathtaking performance in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York.

The world's best racehorse took the step up from a mile to 10 and a half furlongs in his stride as he justified highly-restrictive odds of 1-10 without being asked a serious question.

Leading two furlongs out in the hands of Tom Queally, the Sir Henry Cecil-trained colt pulled away to score with consummate ease to lift this Group One prize, sponsored by his owner Khalid Abdullah. Farhh pipped St Nicholas Abbey for second, seven lengths behind the brilliant winner.
Another superlative performance from a horse who is now simply the best there has ever been.:clap::clap:

Thought Worthy benefited from a brilliant ride by William Buick to lead from pillar to post in the Neptune Investment Management Great Voltigeur Stakes at York.

The 9-1 chance set only a modest gallop in the early stages of the mile-and-a-half contest, but he quickened the pace before the home turn and caught one or two of his rivals a little flat-footed.

His advantage was eroded as they headed inside the last couple of furlongs, with 13-8 favourite Main Sequence the biggest threat. But the John Gosden-trained Thought Worthy gave Buick everything he had as the line approached and held on to claim the Group Two prize by a neck.

SOON LEAVES IT LATE AT KILLARNEY.

Soon came with a late rattle to land the rescheduled Vincent O'Brien Ruby Stakes at Killarney.

Making her third appearance in nine days, the busy daughter of Galileo got up in the last 50 yards to storm past Alla Speranza and win by three-quarters of a length.

NOSEDA TARGETS SOLARIO REPEAT.

Jeremy Noseda is looking for Fantastic Moon to give him back-to-back victories in the Candy Kittens Solario Stakes at Sandown.

While last year's winner Talwar had the benefit of three previous runs, one of which was a course and distance success, before he took this Group Three prize, Fantastic Moon will be the most inexperienced horse in Saturday's line-up with just the one run behind him.

FRANKEL HEADS STRAIGHT TO CHAMPION.

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

Quote:
Connections of Frankel have confirmed the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot in October as the intended next target for the world's highest rated racehorse.

Sir Henry Cecil's incredible colt produced another mesmerising performance to land the Juddmonte International at York last week on his first attempt at a mile and quarter, after which his options were discussed.

The Prix du Moulin at Longchamp was a potential September target, while the possibility of a step up to a mile and a half for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was also mooted as a mouthwatering possibility.

Danedream faces seven opponents as she defends her crown in the Longines Grosser Preis Von Baden on Sunday.

Peter Schiergen's filly was a breathtaking winner of last season's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and proved that was no fluke with a last-gasp victory over Nathaniel in a thrilling King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

The four-year-old is sticking to the same plan as 12 months ago, with Sunday's race set to be her final appearance before aiming for back-to-back Arc triumphs.

Richard Hannon feels Master Of War will relish the step up to the seven furlongs of Saturday's Candy Kittens Solario Stakes at Sandown.

The son of Compton Place ran subsequent Gimcrack runner-up Heavy Metal to half a length in the Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

"He probably found Goodwood's fast six furlongs a bit sharp on quickish ground in the Richmond at the Glorious meeting," Hannon told www.richardhannonracing.co.uk.

Hugo Palmer believes Making Eyes will put up a career-best performance in the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Atalanta Stakes at Sandown on Saturday.

The Newmarket trainer thinks the four-year-old filly has to improve again to take a hand in the Group Three contest, even though she opened her account at Listed level in France last month.

MOON SHINES IN SOLARIO.

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

Quote:
Fantastic Moon came from last to first to snatch the Candy Kittens Solario Stakes on the line in taking style at Sandown Park.

William Buick was content to settle Jeremy Noseda's once-raced colt at the rear of the seven-strong field as Mocenigo and Hasopop took them along.

Tha'ir looked like landing the Group Three spoils when he crept through to take a narrow lead, but Buick conjured a late dash on the outside from Fantastic Moon (3-1) to gain a head verdict. Master Of War was just behind in third.

DANK DELIVERS IN ATALANTA.

Quote:
Richard Hughes brought Dank with a well-timed run to lift the Group Three Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Atalanta Stakes at Sandown.

Gathering tried to make all the running in the hands of William Buick, but she was caught in the closing stages as 7-2 favourite Dank swooped late for trainer Sir Michael Stoute.

Ladys First, who had beaten Dank at Haydock three weeks earlier, was a neck behind in second and Gathering a length back in third.

Danedream produced nothing more than a workmanlike performance to successfully defend her crown in the Longines - Grosser Preis Von Baden in Germany.

Peter Schiergen's star mare landed this Group One prize in her homeland prior to her memorable victory in last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and she is likely to return to Longchamp as a leading fancy for Europe's premier middle-distance prize.

BIG GUNS AMONG IRISH CHAMPION ENTRY.

Nathaniel and Snow Fairy appear among the 12 entries for Saturday's Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.

John Gosden has decided on Ireland's most prestigious race as the next port of call for Nathaniel, the Coral-Eclipse hero who was just run down by Danedream in the King George at Ascot last time.

Although the fine French gelding Cirrus Des Aigles has not been confirmed, Ed Dunlop's brilliant mare Snow Fairy is among the potential opposition after her thrilling return from injury at Deauville recently.
