Re: Horse Racing
Style set to sidestep Ascot.

Quote:
French 2000 Guineas winner Style Vendome is "very unlikely" to run at Royal Ascot later this month after being bought by leading owner Sheikh Joann Al Thani.
Trainer Nicolas Clement mentioned Ascot's St James's Palace Stakes as an option after his three-year-old grabbed Classic glory at Longchamp last month, beating Sunday's French Derby winner Intello into third.
However, with Richard Hannon's Newmarket Guineas fourth Toronado set to represent Al Thani in the same Ascot contest, Style Vendome will stay at home and the Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly on June 30 is his most likely next port of call.
