It’s a big weekend for Holly, who will ride Nashwa in Saturday’s Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket and Bradsell in Sunday’s Prix de l’Abbaye at Paris Longchamp.
Nashwa returns in his enchanting chariot of the sun
I lost the classic winning mare. Nashwa It will be great to have her back in the Group 1 Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Stakes (2.40) at Newmarket on Saturday this summer.
She was carefully bounced back by John and Sadie Gosden after suffering a setback at the Dubai Turf at Meydan at the end of March.
This looks like an ideal starting point for the five-year-old mare by Imad Alsagar. She put in a great performance while galloping at the racetrack last week and definitely continues her desire to be a racehorse. Nashwa tends to take a race or two to get into shape, but having a fresh horse entering this race at this time of year could be an advantage.
As you can imagine in Group 1, this is a difficult challenge. Stablemate Inspiral is chasing a seventh success at the highest level and her main rival is 1,000 Guineas winner El Marca, but she is versatile on the ground and won the Group 1 Falmouth. Last year’s stakes on the July course, not much different from the Raleigh Mile.
Debut time of Nashwa’s half-brother
Watch out for Nashwa’s half-brother Nebuluswill make her racetrack debut in the same card’s Virgin Bet Saturday Moneyback EBF Maiden Stakes (3.50).
He is a successful son of Dubawi, trained by the Gosdens, and was in good form when he ran a routine gallop with me at Al Bahatoly, Newmarket, last week.
Nebulas has a starting distance of over 1m and is essentially a very promising prospect for next year, but I don’t understand why he doesn’t get away with it against other well-bred competitors from top-tier stables. .
Twafeeg is expected to do well in sales competition
I hope that another beautiful mare will be born. Toifigreturns from hiatus in the £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes (2.05) at Newmarket.
Archie Watson and team took advantage of the Far Above bred, who made an immediate impact with a filly’s first win on debut at Doncaster Racecourse in June and continued to do so in the G3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. I have always held this girl in high regard.
In this 6F dash, I was drawn to the wing at stall number 19, and I’m satisfied with that. I have no doubt that she will improve even more next year, so I hope she finishes the race strong.
D Continuing Resident Day
I am responsible for achieving well-deserved wins with a stable board. D Day Alvaren Riva Won the British Stallion Stud EBF Premier Fillies Handicap (3.15) at Newmarket.
The four-year-old out of Kevin Philippeart de Foy has been knocking on the door this season, finishing second in the last three races at Leicester, Windsor and Haydock Park.
She has been able to cope with the slow horse tracks that are important here, and has continued to do well. She takes a little while to achieve the 72 climbing mark but comes into this handicap with a light weight of just 8st 3lbs.
Call out songs while enjoying jazz
James Owen is enjoying a great season and we are very much looking forward to working with him and the Gredley family. noisy jazz Won the British EBF Premier Phillies Handicap (1.30) early on the card.
She made her winning debut on the July course, but never seemed to settle down with the York listed company until she returned to the course with a penalty and a narrow loss in her previous run as a novice at Windsor.
This first try at 10f should be to her liking and I hope she proves to be well-received in the 85 range on her handicap debut.
I hope the rating will go down in the future. geologist Rediscover her best form with the Virgin Bet Daily Price Boost Phillies Handicap (5.00). Last year’s German Listed winner struggled in Germany’s Group 2 last time out, but a drop in performance could help her.
I have to admit that I don’t know much about ocean’s fivemaking his debut with jockey Brian Meehan in the Virgin Bet Best Odds Daily Maiden Stakes (4.25). Already a gelding and coming from a family with a good life, this 7-footer should be well positioned to reach his potential on his journey.
Star Splinter Blood Cell Weather Monitoring
We are closely monitoring the weather ahead of Sunday’s Group 1 Prix Habbey de Longchamp (2.05) – broadcast on Sky Sports Racing – which will hopefully be the next destination for my star sprinter blood cell.
Holly Doyle supports Bloodsell product remanufacturing
As you can probably imagine, jockey Archie Watson, who has won three Group 1s, is currently leading the betting in the 17-horse race, but further rain in Paris could mean more success on a healthy field. This will be a cause for concern for the stallions who have come.
Bradsell is also eyeing the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, Calif., later in the fall, so Archie and owner Victorious Racing are willing to put him at risk even if they feel the conditions are against him. I don’t want to expose myself to it.
Support Japan at Sunday’s Ark
There’s nothing I want to see more than Japan’s victory at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (3.20) at Paris Longchamp on Sunday (live on Sky Sports Racing). I really think this could be their year.
Shin Emperor performed best in the late afternoon on his European debut in the Irish Champion Stakes, so a move up to 12F should be ideal. A field softened by the rain is an unknown for a Shiuni-bred horse, but if Yoshito Yahagi’s stallion can handle it, he has the qualifications to make his mark in an open renewal.
We are also looking forward to a strong performance from Aidan O’Brien’s Irish Derby winner Los Angeles. He won the G1 Critérium de Saint-Cloud as a 2-year-old horse in a very soft field, and has the power of Ryan Moore in the saddle. .
One eye on Trushan defending Cadran.
Riding Nashwa for my boss Imad Alsaghal means I’ll be in Paris to partner my old favorite Truchamp in the Qatar Prix Quadran (1.33) at Paris Longchamp on Saturday (live on Sky Sports Racing).
Holly Doyle will no longer be able to ride her old favorite Trushan.
He has an opponent to beat Aidan O’Brien’s Gold Cup hero Kyprios, who is aiming to follow up last year’s success in the 2m4f Group 1 with a win in 2021. It’s a big ask to drop the favorites’ colors, but Trushan felt great in the last Doncaster Cup and will love this testing ground, giving James Doyle some great spin.
I can’t see what’s next for Ascot’s Al Ashi.
William Haggas’ jockey Al Arcee has won his last two races in eye-catching style and could extend his winning streak in Saturday’s Group 3-bet MGM Cumberland Lodge Stakes (2.25) at Ascot. (Live on Sky Sports Racing).
A comfortable victory in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury Racecourse suggests that the reliable Kareem will struggle to turn the tide in the same conditions, although he has performed well in tough conditions. are.
A short time later, I was told that Newbury’s second listed English Oak production should be aiming for the Group 3 John Guest Racing Bengo Stakes (3.00x) with Ed Walker and Jamie Spencer. I told him. Jaraf has been making good progress in the handicap, but this is a big step up in class.
Holly Doyle was speaking to Sky Sports Racing’s Simon Mappletoft.
