At Breakfast With the Stars this morning, Aidan O’Brien confirmed that NELSON and ZABRISKIE are likely to be in the Ballydoyle contingent for the Derby.
WITHOUT PAROLE declared for the Listed Heron Stakes at Sandown on Thursday evening. Weekender runs in the G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes on the same card.
Workmanlike for WITHOUT PAROLE this evening but apparently he missed a lot of work due to his bruised foot so should come on a bunch for the run. He heads for the St James’ Palace. WEEKENDER was 3rd in his race.
THE GRAND VISIR and MIRAGE DANCER win GIDU runs later tonight at Belmont Park and he wins Disappointed with ELARQAM
ELARQAAM is undergoing tests following his poor run. He was reportedly slightly lame after the race (though was sound again on returning home) and a scope has shown mucus in his trachea. He was also reportedly distressed after the race. Fingers crossed they get to the bottom of it and that he’s back on course soon. https://www.racingpost.com/news/lat...er-tests-after-irish-2000-guineas-flop/333109
Sorry, busy few days! CRACKSMAN gave me a few heart-stopping moments but he came good. Apparently he hit his head in the stalls just before the gate opened. Anyway, great news from Japan this morning: the tough little MOZU ASCOT became Frankel’s 3rd G1 winner an hour or so ago!
So pleased to see MARECHAL NEY has an entry, he’s closely related to Golden Horn as their dams are half-sisters. On that topic, Flèche d’Or (dam of Golden Horn) gave birth to a Frankel colt in March.
This is so good of you PNkt for putting in the time and effort, i know your very busy and it's very much appreciated by everyone.
REGEM 4th and very green at Gowran. Needed a hood to go into the stalls as well as a fair bit of cajoling!
