For a long while in Wednesday's G1 Juddmonte International Stakes, it looked as if we would have another pacemaker summer shock but ultimately the class of Godolphin's Prince of Wales's Stakes winner Ombudsman (Night Of Thunder) told once again and common sense prevailed on the Knavesmire. Blessed with the best acceleration of the sextet, the Gosdens' 7-4 favourite was the first to claw back the operation's rabbit Birr Castle (Cloth Of Stars), who was proverbially in another district under Rab Havlin turning for home, and register a 3 1/2-length defeat of his Eclipse conqueror Delacroix (Dubawi). He was the only other runner able to get by the Andre Fabre-trained pacemaker, with half a length the margin between them at the line. “The idea was to run the pacemaker and the way he was going to be used would be determined by the way the race went,” William Buick said. “To be honest, Rab [Havlin] got the fractions spot-on on a proper Stakes horse, so I was thinking 'this is dangerous' and I had to cut the deficit myself. He then went again, which is a hard thing to do, but he has a great mind and is amazing. He's a beautiful horse to ride and we couldn't believe he got beaten in the Eclipse, but today he put it right.” John Gosden added, “Andre [Fabre] had said, if I lend you the horse make sure its like Goodwood! I thought it was dangerous two out, but all's well that end's well and our horse went into overdrive. This settles the Eclipse form and the obvious race is the Irish Champion–he is in the Arc, but I won't want to run on heavy ground as it would blunt his turn of foot. He's got tactical speed and the mile-and-a-half at Del Mar could work.” “It was a mess really,” Aidan O'Brien said of the runner-up. “When he sat in they started going slower and slower and he was in a pocket and the rest was history. We think he likes high-tempo races and hopefully this won't happen at Leopardstown.” The post Gosden Hails Ombudsman’s ‘Overdrive’ As Juddmonte International Tactics Threaten To Implode appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Bouncing back from two disappointing Derby displays, the Aykroyds' Pride Of Arras (New Bay) showed the benefit of a gelding operation to land Wednesday's G2 Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. Sent off at 12-1 despite his impressive Dante success here in May, the Ralph Beckett-trained homebred stayed on powerfully to take control approaching the furlong pole and beat the similarly-penalised Queen's Vase winner Carmers (Wootton Bassett). The Derby and Irish Derby winner Lambourn (Australia) ran flat in fifth. “I actually brought him here slightly underdone, having gelded him at the beginning of July and I've only really done maintenance stuff with him,” Beckett explained. “That was because it seemed to suit him the last time we brought him here and also because I wanted him to run well more than anything else.” “Really we came here with no expectation, but I think the track and the flat nature of York suits him really well,” he added. “I wasn't at all happy with the way he moved in the first half-mile at the Curragh, which isn't exactly undulating anyway. He just wasn't enjoying himself that day any more than he was at Epsom. After that it was a very easy decision to geld him. I would be tempted to think about California and Hong Kong for him. I think the nature of those races will suit him really well.” The post Pride Of Arras Bounces Back In The Voltigeur As Lambourn Disappoints appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Emulating Andrew Balding's former star Chaldean on Wednesday, Al Rabban Racing's Gewan (Night Of Thunder) came from the same Newbury novice to capture York's G3 Tattersalls Acomb Stakes, an automatic qualifier for the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. Always prominent under P J McDonald throughout the seven-furlong contest, the 11-2 shot saw off Ballydoyle's Italy (Wootton Bassett) to score by 1 1/2 lengths, with 3 1/4 lengths back to the disappointing 11-20 favourite Distant Storm (Night Of Thunder) in third. “He was very well bought by Billy Jackson, as he wasn't expensive for a Night Of Thunder,” Balding said of the €80,000 Arqana May Breeze-Up graduate. “He's done everything right since he came in and we've always liked him. PJ was quite taken by his attitude and said he had a little bit more left. I think he'll stay a mile next year, but he'll stay at seven this.” Aidan O'Brien was far from downcast after the defeat of the yard's TDN Rising Star Italy. “He ran very well–he's a lovely big horse and he jumped a bit slow and was a length or two further back than Ryan wanted to and he had to expose him early,” he said. “He will progress. The Futurity and National were the plan.” The post Night Of Thunder’s Gewan Wins The Acomb, Qualifies For The Breeders’ Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
