Fabre in pole position for Paris.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Investec Derby fifth Ocovango is one of three runners for Andre Fabre as the legendary French trainer chases a remarkable 12th victory in the Grand Prix de Paris on Saturday evening.
Unbeaten in his first three career starts, the three-year-old headed to Epsom with major claims at the start of June and was far from disgraced in being beaten a little over two lengths following a troubled passage.

Re: Horse Racing
Lukey must step up - Fahey
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Richard Fahey admits Good Old Boy Lukey has to step up markedly on what he has achieved so far when he tackles Group Two company at Newmarket today.
The son of Selkirk has justified favouritism over five furlongs at Hamilton and over six at Newcastle on his two starts to date, but the Superlative Stakes represents a new test in distance as well as grade.
Fahey does expect Good Old Boy Lukey to appreciate the seventh furlong as he takes on seven previous winners in a field of nine.

Re: Horse Racing
Aljamaaheer is Summer sizzler.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Aljamaaheer gained a well-deserved success with victory in the Fred Cowley MBE Memorial Summer Mile Stakes at Ascot.
Third in the Lockinge at Newbury and behind only Declaration Of War in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot, the Roger Varian-trained colt was heavily backed for what was a drop in class before being sent off the 6-4 favourite.
Keen in the early stages as Godolphin pacemaker Famous Poet set what looked a strong gallop, Paul Hanagan's mount gradually engaged top gear and always looked likely to win when hitting the front in the final 100 yards. Mull Of Killough ran well to take second, a length back, with Guest Of Honour another half-length away in third.

Re: Horse Racing
July glory for irresistible Force
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Lethal Force confirmed himself the leading sprinter in Europe as he made all to land the Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
Adam Kirby blazed up the stands rail on the Clive Cox-trained grey as he showed there was no fluke about his Diamond Jubilee Stakes win from Royal Ascot, again proving too good for closest pursuer Society Rock, this time by a length and a half.
The four-year-old (9-2) was kicked on by Kirby with a quarter-mile to run and despite a visible jink along the way he ran on strongly to beat James Fanshawe's runner in record time. Slade Power was third, a further three-quarters of a length away.

Re: Horse Racing
Record-breaking Force thrills Cox.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Sun
Quote:
Clive Cox is keen to let the dust settle on Lethal Force's record-breaking performance in Saturday's Darley July Cup before committing him to future targets.
Something of a surprise winner when leading from pillar to post in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, the four-year-old grey proved that outstanding effort was no fluke with a similarly dominant front-running display in the Newmarket sunshine.

Re: Horse Racing
Lynam power-ing ahead with duo.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Eddie Lynam has earmarked further Group One targets for his star sprinters Slade Power and Sole Power after both performed with credit in Saturday's Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
Sole Power was the better fancied of the pair having clinched his second Group One prize in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot, but while he ran admirably on his first start over six furlongs in almost two years, finishing fifth, he was outshone by his stable companion.

Re: Horse Racing
Vermeille on Treve agenda
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Treve will try to book her place in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe when she returns to action in the Qatar Prix Vermeille at Longchamp on September 15.
The fillies' Group One on Arc trials day is the next intended target for Criquette Head-Maarek's charge.
She showed herself to be one of the best of her generation when running out a four-length winner of the Prix de Diane (French Oaks) at Chantilly to take her 100% record to three.

Re: Horse Racing
Rizeena remains in Moyglare mix.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Trainer Clive Brittain is targeting the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh with Rizeena following her creditable effort in defeat at Newmarket on Friday.
So impressive when completing a hat-trick in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, the daughter of Iffraaj was a hot favourite to follow up on her first attempt at six furlongs in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, formerly known as the Cherry Hinton

Re: Horse Racing
Approach all set for Sussex clash
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Mon
Quote:
Dawn Approach will carry plenty of stable confidence into his latest clash with Toronado when the pair lock horns in the Qipco Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on July 31.
The Jim Bolger-trained Dawn Approach beat Toronado in the 2000 Guineas and bounced back from a woeful Derby effort to again account for Richard Hannon's runner in the St James's Palace Stakes, although there was only a short-head to split the pair at Royal Ascot.

Re: Horse Racing
Riposte and Venus added to Oaks
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Riposte and Venus De Milo have been supplemented for the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Saturday evening.
Trained respectively by Lady Cecil and Aidan O'Brien, connections of the two fillies have stumped up the 40,000 euro required to allow them to contest the Irish Classic. The Khalid Abdullah-owned Riposte was a striking winner of the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on her last start, while the unbeaten Venus De Milo claimed an Oaks trial at Naas towards the end of June.

Re: Horse Racing
Fantastic Fairy bows out
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
Six-times Group One winner Snow Fairy has been retired, trainer Ed Dunlop said in a statement.
Time has been called on the brilliant mare's career after she suffered a tendon injury during a workout on Tuesday morning.
Dunlop said: "It is with much sadness that a decision was made this morning to retire Snow Fairy. Unfortunately, after a routine piece of fast work, she was found to have re-injured her near fore tendon, which has caused her problems in the last two years."

Re: Horse Racing
Telescope back in business
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Tue
Quote:
The much-vaunted Telescope will face just two opponents as he makes his eagerly anticipated reappearance at Leicester on Thursday.
Narrowly beaten on his juvenile debut at Ascot before a most impressive display at Newmarket, Sir Michael Stoute's colt headed into winter quarters as a leading ante-post fancy for the Investec Derby.

Yes that would be a wonderful fitting result for the late Sir Henry Cecil.
