Re: Horse Racing
Maureen has a crack at Sceptre.

Quote:
Maureen has her sights lowered for Thursday's Japan Racing Association Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster.
Richard Hannon's filly has been kept to Group One company since landing the Fred Darling at Newbury in April and was last seen finishing seventh to Elusive Kate in France.

Re: Horse Racing
Newmarket plans fluid for Rizeena
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Clive Brittain has yet to confirm which big-race assignment Rizeena will take up at Newmarket later this month.
The Moyglare heroine is still in the hat for the Shadwell Fillies' Mile on September 28 and the seven-furlong Connolly's Red Mills Cheveley Park Stakes a day later.
Brittain said: "Rizeena will certainly run in either the Cheveley Park or the Fillies' Mile. I will have a runner in both races but I won't make up my mind about which one until nearer the time."
The veteran handler continued: "Of my other entries, both Stealth Missile and Halljoy are quite useful and well up to Group class.

Re: Horse Racing
Lark stamps class on Park Hill.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Jamie Spencer and The Lark were very easy winners of what was a dramatic DFS Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster.
Entering the final two furlongs of a race known as the fillies' St Leger, Seal Of Approval came down and sent jockey Hayley Turner crashing to the floor.
The Lark, the 15-8 favourite, was third in the Epsom Oaks and put a fifth-place finish at Saint-Cloud behind her as she beat Phiz by a cosy length and a quarter.

Wachman issues Rock warning.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Galileo Rock will not run in the Ladbrokes St Leger on Saturday unless the going improves at Doncaster.
Trainer David Wachman has warned he will switch his dual Derby-placed colt to the GAIN Irish St Leger at the Curragh on Sunday should he deem the ground at the South Yorkshire course to be unsuitable.

Re: Horse Racing
Gosden employs Leger Knowledge
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
John Gosden knows more than most people about what it takes to win the Ladbrokes St Leger and he feels Excess Knowledge can handle the extended mile and six furlongs at Doncaster.
Set to be James Doyle's first Classic ride in his new position as Khalid Abdullah's retained jockey, and his Leger debut, he is provided with a colt who has only an initial maiden success to show from five career starts.
However, Excess Knowledge showed plenty of promise on his comeback at Sandown and looked notably unlucky in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood when flashing home for a close second to Cap O'Rushes after meeting a multitude of problems.

Re: Horse Racing
It's Times' Cup once again
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...+again&day=Fri
Quote:
Times Up showed great reserves of courage to secure back-to-back renewals of the Speedy Services Doncaster Cup on Town Moor.
Now in the care of Ed Dunlop after the trainer's father John retired, the 3-1 shot was settled towards the rear of the field by Ryan Moore but entered the fray surprisingly early.
Times Up passed Hi Jinx with a couple of furlongs to go, but James Fanshawe's 2-1 favourite would not go away and fought him all the way to the line to finish a length and a quarter behind.

Re: Horse Racing
Ihtimal streaks to May Hill glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Ihtimal collected the Barrett Steel May Hill Stakes in the style of a highly promising filly.
Sent off the 11-10 favourite under Silvestre de Sousa, she arrived on Town Moor after winning the Sweet Solera at Newmarket, an event to which Godolphin have traditionally sent their best juvenile filly.
It took time for the gaps to open for Ihtimal, but she simply took off inside the final furlong and instantly cleared two lengths away from Majeyda.
De Sousa said: "She travelled well through the race and I was quite happy with the position I had. I'm very pleased, I think she's got a bright future."

Re: Horse Racing
Outstrip shows Champagne fizz.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Outstrip drew comfortably clear for his first Group victory in the At The Races Champagne Stakes at Doncaster.
The Godolphin team are flying at the moment, and the grey had already shown smart form when a narrow runner-up to Toormore on what was only his second start in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
Outstrip's fellow 13-8 joint-favourite The Grey Gatsby took the quartet along, but Mickael Barzalona and the Charlie Appleby-trained Outstrip loomed alongside and were well on top entering the final furlong, eventually beating their market rival by three lengths.

Re: Horse Racing
Portland falls to Angels.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Angels Will Fall (16-1) shaded Steps in a typically competitive Ladbrokes Portland Handicap at Doncaster.
The field split into two in the early stages of the five-and-a-half-furlong affair but it looked as if 11-2 favourite Steps would land the money for the in-form Roger Varian as he burst through the centre.
Bottom-weight Angels Will Fall, trained by Charlie Hills and ridden by Robert Winston, was right on the stands rail and it seemed to help her as she made up the ground and got the nod in a tight photo finish.

Re: Horse Racing
Viztoria a different gear in Park.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Viztoria justified significant market support in the OLBG Park Stakes.
Trainer Eddie Lynam, who has done so well this season with Sole Power and Slade Power, brought the 7-2 chance across to Doncaster to take advantage of the easy ground and beneficial allowances in the seven-furlong Group Two.
The positively-ridden Lockwood had got the better of 9-4 favourite Gregorian but Wayne Lordan was winding up Viztoria and her final flourish saw her take the spoils by three-quarters of a length.
