Rizeena lands dramatic Moyglare

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

Quote:

Clive Brittain labelled Rizeena "exceptionally good" after she caused a minor upset in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.

The Newmarket handler is no stranger to handling top-class fillies, with the likes of Sayyedati, User Friendly and the brilliant Pebbles among those to have passed through his hands down the years.

Rizeena still has some way to go to reach the heights of that esteemed trio, but her genial trainer is confident she is in the same class after seeing her grab Group One glory at the home of Irish Flat racing.

O'Brien considers Tapestry options

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...ptions&day=Mon

Quote:

Tapestry may have run her last race of the season in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

Aidan O'Brien's filly was promoted to second after being interfered with by Kiyoshi in the Group One won by Rizeena.

Tapestry had previously struck in the Debutante Stakes in good style and was supplemented for the Curragh showpiece.

Elusive remains in Matron hunt

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

Quote:

Elusive Kate may try to bounce back from defeat in the Prix Jacques le Marois by going for the Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

John Gosden's four-times Group One winner had earlier struck at Deauville in the Prix Rothschild for the second year running after taking the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket's July meeting. Plans for the daughter of Elusive Quality have, however, yet to be firmed up.

Force with Cheveley Park.

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

Quote:

Lethal Force will retire to stud at the end of the season after being purchased by Cheveley Park Stud.

The four-year-old won the Group Two Hungerford Stakes last term but has really come of age this season, dropping back to six furlongs to win the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and the July Cup at Newmarket.

He was last seen finishing second to Moonlight Cloud in the six-and-a-half-furlong Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last month and is the ante-post favourite for Saturday's Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock.

Kristale set for Cheveley showdown

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

Quote:

George Margarson is confident Lucky Kristale will prove herself the best of her generation in what promises to be a thrilling Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket later this month.

A surprise winner of the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket in July, Lucky Kristale proved that resounding victory was no fluke with a similarly impressive display in the Lowther Stakes at York.

The form could hardly be stronger with Duchess Of Cambridge runner-up Rizeena subsequently taking gold in a thrilling Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh, edging out Royal Ascot winner Kiyoshi and the previously unbeaten Tapestry.

Sprinter team rule out King George

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

Quote:

Trainer Nicky Henderson insists superstar chaser Sprinter Sacre will not be entered in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.

The seven-year-old remains unbeaten after 10 starts over fences, turning in a mesmerising display in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March before following up at Aintree and Punchestown

Radiator turns up the heat.

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

Quote:

Radiator was soon the subject of bookmakers' quotes for next year's 1000 Guineas after a stunningly easy victory at Lingfield.

Sir Michael Stoute's filly was taking part on a very low-key afternoon at the Surrey course as spectators basked in the September sun, but a 15-length victory caused quite a stir in the Celebrating 15 Years Of Sky Sports News/EBF Stallions Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

Joyeuse in Salisbury strike

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

Quote:

Frankel's juvenile half-sister Joyeuse claimed a first Listed-level victory as she held on by a neck in the EBF Stallions & Country Gentlemen's Association Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes at Salisbury.

While the already priceless 8-11 favourite was hard-pressed to thwart the charging Dorothy B, connections could point to a variety of mitigating circumstances. She was tackling pretty quick ground and not wearing her usual hood, and was also making her first appearance since finishing third behind Kiyoshi and Sandiva in the red-hot Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Abandon forced out of Sprint test.

http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...3&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Reckless Abandon is reported to be lame and will miss Saturday's Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock.

Clive Cox's three-year-old colt has been restricted to just two runs this term, finishing third in the Temple Stakes on his reappearance at Haydock and fifth in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. He went through his juvenile campaign unbeaten in five races, culminating in Group One wins in the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes.

Flash Gordon returns to Haydock.

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

Quote:

Gordon Lord Byron chased home Society Rock in the Betfred Sprint Cup 12 months ago and attempts to go one better at Haydock on Saturday.

Tom Hogan's ace has three-quarters of a length to make up on big-race favourite Lethal Force from last month's meeting at Deauville, since when he has registered a Group Three success over a mile at Leopardstown.

Eagle lands at Leopardstown

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

Quote:

Free Eagle puts his huge reputation on the line against four rivals in the ICON Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The Dermot Weld-trained son of High Chaparral shot to the head of ante-post lists for next year's Epsom Derby with a breathtaking debut over the course and distance last month and now tests the water in Pattern company.
