Re: Horse Racing
Coco doubles up for Cecil.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Lady Cecil's Wild Coco looked in a different league to her rivals when successful in Goodwood's Blackrock Fillies' Stakes for the second successive year.
Those who took the 5-6 about the five-year-old never had a moment of concern as the mare, having her first run for new owners since being purchased for 985,000 guineas, cruised through the race.
Tom Queally had a leisurely look around two furlongs out and with only Elik making progress from the rear, Queally kept her up to her work to win by two and a half lengths.

Re: Horse Racing
O'Brien outlines Camelot gameplan.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...meplan&day=Fri
Quote:
Camelot could return to action in either the Juddmonte International Stakes at York or the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien has given last year's dual Derby winner plenty of time off since his fourth-placed finish in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.
He told At The Races: "He's in good order. He's back after a break and he's starting to progress. York and Leopardstown would be the two main races that could be possible. The Juddmonte is a great race and Irish Champion is a great race but it will depend on how he comes along. Things are going well so far."

Re: Horse Racing
Sky reaches for the stars in Nassau.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Sky Lantern looks to put the seal on what has been a superb week for trainer Richard Hannon by claiming her third Group One of the season in the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes on Saturday.
Winner of the 1000 Guineas and breathtaking in the Coronation Stakes, Sky Lantern was considered an unlucky loser when carried across the track by Elusive Kate in a controversial climax to the Falmouth Stakes.

Re: Horse Racing
Wentworth picks up Mile spoils.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes made it a quickfire double at Goodwood as Wentworth triumphed in the Betfred Mile.
Sporting the famous dark blue silks of Sue Magnier, the 6-1 shot came good in style after hitting the bar on each of his three outings so far this term. He was sighted making his move a furlong out as the pacesetting Windhoek began to fade and favourite Cape Peron also made progress.
It was Wentworth who found the extra gear, powering down the middle of the track to assume the lead with half a furlong still to run. Three-quarters of a length was the winning verdict ahead of Cape Peron, while Sandagiyr finished fast to take third, a further head behind, with Galician in fourth.

Re: Horse Racing
Integral faces acid test
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Sir Michael Stoute's Integral takes a significant step up in class for the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Goodwood this afternoon.
After an impressive debut over a mile at the Sussex venue, the daughter of Dalakhani was too strong for her rivals in a Listed contest over a mile at Sandown.
Chris Richardson, managing director for owners Cheveley Park Stud, said: "There aren't too many other options so we thought we might definitely learn something about her by running her at Goodwood."

Re: Horse Racing
Kazeem gets International call-up.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Al Kazeem will run in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York on August 21.
Although the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown remains an option three weeks later, the high-class entire will first head to Yorkshire for the esteemed Group One over a mile and a quarter.
Owner John Deer said: "That (York) is the plan and he's in training for that race. Fingers crossed he gets there in one piece and the ground is perfect for him. He's in all the big races, including the Irish Champion, so everything is under consideration before we decide whether to run in the Arc."

Re: Horse Racing
Winsili springs Nassau surprise.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
John Gosden's filly Winsili dug deep to spring a 20-1 surprise in a dramatic race for the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Goodwood.
The William Buick-ridden three-year-old responded to all her rider's urgings as she stuck to the task through the final furlong to hold the determined challenge of another outsider, Thistle Bird, by a neck, with Hot Snap a further two lengths away in third.

Re: Horse Racing
Rex rewards Callan's faith
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...+faith&day=Sat
Quote:
Neil Callan proved he has an eye for a horse as well as skills in the saddle as Rex Imperator took the Robins Farm Racing Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood in tearaway fashion.
The leading jockey located the sprinter for owner George Turner after he was impressed with the statistics he read during his campaigning with Roger Charlton.
Although a failure in a stint in Dubai, the 12-1 chance had finished runner-up on a couple of occasions for new trainer William Haggas and ended up careering two and a quarter lengths clear in one of the most fiercely competitive handicaps of the season.

Re: Horse Racing
Force floored by lethal Cloud.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Moonlight Cloud won the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville for the third successive year as she sprinted past Lethal Force inside the final furlong.
Clive Cox's grey lost nothing in defeat, conceding 3lb to the Freddie Head-trained mare, but he simply had no answer to Moonlight Cloud's finishing burst.
Adam Kirby attempted to make most on Lethal Force, but he had to work quite hard to get over to the rail and once there, he tried to wind it up from the front. But Thierry Jarnet always looked confident, and once he asked Moonlight Cloud to go and win the race the response was immediate and the five-year-old was able to come home alone.

Re: Horse Racing
Breeders' Cup aim for Winsili
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...insili&day=Sun
Quote:
Winsili has the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf as her main aim following her victory in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on Saturday.
The John Gosden-trained filly caused a 20-1 shock in the Group One as she successfully dropped back in trip to 10 furlongs, having failed to see out a mile and a half in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot last time. Owner Khalid Abdullah also claimed third place with Hot Snap, who bounced back from a lacklustre effort in the 1000 Guineas back in May.

Re: Horse Racing
Gesture touched off in Germany.
Quote:
Secret Gesture was agonisingly worn down inside the final furlong by Penelopa in the Henkel-Preis Der Diana - Deutsches Stuten-Derby (German Oaks) at Dusseldorf.
Jamie Spencer took a wide course on Ralph Beckett's filly, who finished second to her stable companion Talent in the Oaks at Epsom, but she went two lengths clear of her pursuers.
