BUICK REVVED UP FOR SUPER SATURDAY.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Connections of Ortensia have received a boost with the news it is "very possible" they will have the services of William Buick at Haydock on Saturday.
Trainer Paul Messara's travelling head lass Leah Gavranich admitted it would be "devastating" if Buick were not able to take the ride in the Betfred Sprint Cup, as he is also committed to partnering Nathaniel in the Irish Champion Stakes on the same day for retained trainer John Gosden.

STEELER SHOWS HIS METTLE.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Mark Johnston was handsomely rewarded for what he described as little more than an experience-gaining mission for Steeler in the Peter Willett Stakes at Goodwood.
The trainer's initial and remaining aim for his sturdy son of Raven's Pass is the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket on September 29 and he had overruled his support staff by stopping off en route for this seven-furlong Listed race.

Re: Horse Racing
Very saddened to hear of the passing of Lord Oaksey today as he was founder of the Injured Jockeys Fund among many others things as well.

Re: Horse Racing
Camelot faces a massive test in St Leger - O'Brien.
http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse...=last7DaysNews
Quote:
|
THE Ladbrokes St Leger will be a massive test for odds-on favourite Camelot, who will become the first Triple Crown winner for more than 40 years if capturing the Doncaster Classic next week.
|
Quote:
|
Speaking on At The Races, O'Brien said: "Everything's gone well - so far so good - but it's a very difficult test for a horse able to be dropped out in the Guineas over a mile on his first run of the season, to have that pace and then win the Derby.

Re: Horse Racing
O'SULLEVAN HAILS 'HERO' OAKSEY.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...Oaksey&day=Wed
Quote:
Sir Peter O'Sullevan led the tributes to racing pioneer Lord Oaksey, who died on Wednesday morning.
Oaksey will always be associated with his work for injured jockeys, which began when Tim Brookshaw and Paddy Farrell suffered serious injuries at Aintree in the 1963-64 jumps season. He founded the Injured Jockeys' Fund in 1964 and was chairman from 1982-2002, after which he was president.
"He was a splendid man, one of my great heroes and he found everything quite light and entertaining," said O'Sullevan, BBC's 'voice of racing' for 50 years.

NATIVE OUT OF SPRINT CUP.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Kingsgate Native has been ruled out of Saturday's Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock.
The seven-year-old won the Nunthorpe as a juvenile for John Best in 2007 before following up in the race now known as the Diamond Jubilee Stakes the following year.
He returned to training with Sir Michael Stoute after an unsuccessful stint at stud, although he could not recapture his Group One-winning form over the last couple of years.

Yes l looked at Cap of Rushes but the small field worried me as sometimes you can get a falsely run race with small fields.

Re: Horse Racing
EMULOUS IN PURSUIT OF MATRON DOUBLE.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Defending champion Emulous is one of 11 fillies and mares declared for the Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.
Dermot Weld's five-year-old was a brilliant winner of the Group One contest 12 months ago, but was well beaten when sent off favourite for the Windsor Forest Stakes at Royal Ascot on her last start.

MAYSON OUT OF SPRINT CUP.
http://www.attheraces.com/article.as...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Darley July Cup winner Mayson will miss the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday because of a dirty scope.
Trainer Richard Fahey admitted it was a blow having to rule the four-year-old out of the six-furlong Group One.
"He just didn't scope right so we can't take a chance. It's disappointing for everyone, but I suppose that's how it goes sometimes," said the Musley Bank handler.
"Because we are not running him it shouldn't be too long. He should recover quick enough. There's the Abbaye (at Longchamp) and he's in at Ascot (Qipco British Champions Sprint) as well so we'll see."
