Re: Horse Racing
Bishop takes Empire at Kempton.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...s&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Prince Bishop just denied his stablemate Royal Empire in a one-two for Saeed bin Suroor in the totepool September Stakes at Kempton.
Royal Empire looked like justifying 9-4 favouritism when he swept into the lead over a furlong out after Godolphin's other runner Masterstroke had made the running. However, Prince Bishop (7-1) was produced to challenge by Kieren Fallon on the far rail and got the verdict in this Group Three heat by a head after a hard-fought tussle.

Re: Horse Racing
Fugue produces Champion performance
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
The Fugue struck a blow for the fillies with an emphatic victory in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.
John Gosden's charge shrugged off concerns about the ground when outpointing her rivals.
The field came down the centre of the track in the straight as William Buick made his challenge to the front-running Trading Leather. Al Kazeem tried to haul back the 4-1 chance but to no avail as The Fugue prevailed by a length and a quarter. Trading Leather was third.

Re: Horse Racing
Australia bursts Eagle bubble.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Australia created a massive impression when slamming the highly-touted Free Eagle in the ICON Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes at Leopardstown.
The son of Galileo, out of Ouija Board, stormed past the 2-5 favourite in some style a furlong out to win as he liked in the hands of Joseph O'Brien. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt, sent off at 5-2, went on to score by six lengths to earn a quote of 8-1 from 20s for the Investec Derby with Paddy Power.

Re: Horse Racing
Kazeem team wait on Arc call.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Connections of Al Kazeem will hang fire on any decision about the possible participation of the five-year-old in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Trainer Roger Charlton will take into account the results of the Arc trials coming up at Longchamp next weekend before deciding on whether to go for the autumn showpiece on October 6.
He will also monitor how his triple Group One winner has taken his exertions when finishing second to The Fugue in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

Re: Horse Racing
Dawn 'at the top of his game'
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...26#39;&day=Sun
Quote:
Jim Bolger reports Dawn Approach to be fully recovered from a setback and on course for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.
The 2000 Guineas winner scoped badly after finishing fifth to Moonlight Cloud in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last month but is now pleasing Bolger and is on target for the Group One, sponsored by Qipco, over a mile at Ascot on October 19.

Re: Horse Racing
Talent on course for Classic double
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Ralph Beckett is keen to let Talent have the chance of further Classic glory in the Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on Saturday.
The Kimpton trainer revealed he had to give the Investec Oaks winner a racecourse gallop at Kempton in preparation because his grass gallops at home were too dry.
"She worked at Kempton on Friday because the grass gallop at home is very dry and therefore very quick, so we haven't been able to get on the grass," Beckett told At The Races.

Re: Horse Racing
Australia has O'Brien purring.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...urring&day=Mon
Quote:
Aidan O'Brien has hailed juvenile star Australia as a dream horse following his dazzling Leopardstown victory over the weekend.
A son of Galileo out of the great racemare Ouija Board, Australia cost 525,000 guineas at Tattersalls last October and after suffering defeat on his racecourse bow in June when he was very slowly away, he has won twice since.
Australia's six-length demolition job of the highly-regarded Free Eagle in last Saturday's ICON Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes saw him promoted to the head of the betting for next year's Investec Derby at Epsom, with most firms offering 6-1 about his Classic chance.

Re: Horse Racing
Rushes the Leger value - Crisford.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford offered Cap O'Rushes as the best-value option of the trio bidding to land his team a sixth Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on Saturday.
The Gordon Stakes winner is more than twice the odds of Godolphin's shortest-priced challenger, Libertarian, and also bigger than Secret Number.
Sheikh Mohammed, who has had no shortage of success in the season's final Classic in his own maroon and white silks, saw Rule Of Law and Mastery enter the roll of honour this century before Encke caused an upset against Camelot 12 months ago.

Re: Horse Racing
Toormore ready for National call-up.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Richard Hannon's unbeaten juvenile Toormore is under serious consideration for the Goffs Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.
The Middleham Park Racing-owned youngster made it two wins from as many starts with an impressive display in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood and features among just nine remaining entries.
With Aidan O'Brien responsible for four contenders, the race could cut up even further and Middleham Park racing manager Tim Palin feels it could be too good an opportunity to pass up.

Re: Horse Racing
Diamond defends Leger crown
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Royal Diamond has been confirmed as an intended runner in Sunday's GAIN Irish St Leger at the Curragh.
The seven-year-old won the Group One event last season but connections had been considering skipping the one-mile-six-furlong event in favour of a crack at the Caulfield Cup in Australia next month.
However, owner Andrew Tinkler has confirmed a defence of his Curragh title is now the plan.
