Re: Horse Racing
Gordon grabs Group One glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/home/?ref=main+nav&nav=home
Quote:
Gordon Lord Byron made a dream start to his Australian stint when winning the Group One George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill.
Tom Hogan's six-year-old landed the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock last year and was last seen finishing fourth in the Hong Kong Mile back in December.

Very sad to hear of the passing of such a brave lady.

Re: Horse Racing
African storms to World Cup glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
African Story gave Saeed bin Suroor his sixth success and Godolphin their seventh in the Dubai World Cup at Meydan.
Fifth last year and only seen twice this season, he was ridden with great confidence by Silvestre de Sousa and wore down the front-running Mukhadram halfway down the straight.
The 12-1 chance stretched well clear by the line, while the Investec Derby winner Ruler Of The World, uneasy in the betting and with a poor draw, was struggling from some way out under Joseph O'Brien.

Re: Horse Racing
New York the toast of Dubai.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Jamie Osborne's Toast Of New York ran out a decisive winner of the UAE Derby at Meydan.
Certainly not the most fashionable of runners, having picked up two events at Wolverhampton most recently, he was settled nicely in second by man-of-the-moment Jamie Spencer, who had won the Dubai Gold Cup aboard Certerach 40 minutes earlier.

Re: Horse Racing
Gentil a Sheema Classic giant.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Ryan Moore kept his cool to guide Japanese mare Gentildonna to victory in a rough Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan.
The pair had enjoyed victory together in the Japan Cup and last year's runner-up, trained by Sei Ishizaka, moved well but appeared to get cut up by Cirrus Des Aigles when about to make her move and needed to be snatched up for another effort.

Golden moment for Certerach.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Jamie Spencer punched the air with delight but connections were made to sweat as 33-1 chance Certerach caused a big upset in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan.
Trained in County Kildare by Mick Halford, who excels with his runners in the Gulf, Certerach had an awful lot to find on form, but Spencer was always in the right place and edged his way past his pacesetting former compatriot Ralston Road with about a furlong to run.

Variety dazzles in Mile.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
South African champion Variety Club delivered a powerful performance from the front to lower the colours of Soft Falling Rain in the Godolphin Mile at Meydan.
The dual Horse Of The Year in his homeland had a difficult draw in stall 15 but Anton Marcus bustled him quickly out of the gates and across to the inside.

Re: Horse Racing
Hughes suffers fractured vertebrae.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Richard Hughes will not require surgery despite fracturing a vertebrae in a nasty fall at Meydan on Saturday.
The champion jockey was partnering the Mike de Kock-trained Mars in the Dubai Sheema Classic when his mount crashed through the far rail after running just a couple of furlongs, throwing Hughes over the top as he tried to pull him up.

Re: Horse Racing
Bracelet in sparkling strike.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Bracelet appears the latest likely Classic candidate off the Ballydoyle production line after making a winning return in the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial.
Aidan O'Brien's Montjeu filly was unable to play a significant role in a Naas Listed event on her debut last June, but signed off her juvenile campaign with a smart Leopardstown victory to keep her in the reckoning for this year's major prizes.

Re: Horse Racing
O'Brien laments World failure.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...ailure&day=Mon
Quote:
Aidan O'Brien feels Ruler Of The World's failure to act on the Tapeta surface was to blame for his disappointing display in Saturday's Dubai World Cup.
Last year's Investec Derby hero was among the leading contenders for the world's richest race, but making his debut on an artificial track, he trailed home 13th of the 16 runners in the hands of the trainer's son, Joseph.

Re: Horse Racing
Big guns stand ground for National.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Tidal Bay remains at the summit of the weights for the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday, for which 65 horses are still in contention.
Paul Nicholls' popular veteran has had the great race as his conditional aim since finishing second in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown in February

Re: Horse Racing
Mukhadram plans to be discussed.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
William Haggas is keen to let the dust settle on Mukhadram's fantastic performance in Saturday's Dubai World Cup before deciding on the next plan of attack.
Narrowly beaten by Al Kazeem in last year's Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot, Mukhadram went on to finish third in the Coral-Eclipse before earning a deserved return to the winner's enclosure in the York Stakes.

Re: Horse Racing
Guineas options for Balansiya.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
The Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and the French equivalent are under consideration for Balansiya following her fine effort in defeat in Sunday's Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial.
The Dermot Weld-trained filly was an odds-on favourite for the Group Three test following a runaway maiden victory over the course and distance last November and travelled through the race like a class act.

Re: Horse Racing
Orr excited about Triolo's chances.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...hances&day=Tue
Quote:
Sandy Orr, owner of Crabbie's Grand National hope Triolo D'Alene, cannot contain his excitement as what he describes as 'the biggest day of them all' draws ever closer.
Orr has been involved in ownership for almost 12 years but the enthusiast from Oban believes his brave Hennessy hero is the best his silks have graced.
