    • Saturday's action at The Curragh was all about Wootton Bassett once again as Whirl completed a treble for Coolmore's red-hot sire in a thrilling renewal of the feature G1 Pretty Polly Stakes. Denying Juddmonte's Kalpana (Study Of Man) after a prolonged tussle between Ryan Moore and Colin Keane, Ballydoyle's Oaks runner-up followed on where the stable's Dorset and Beautify had led earlier on the card. Aidan O'Brien was impressed by the battle royal. “It's hard coming back from a mile and a half to this trip, a bit like walking a tightrope but Ryan got it spot-on again. That's what you want to come racing to watch, one we'll remember for a long time,” he said. “They went at it all the way and eyeballed each other and it was ding-dong. With fellas like that riding like they are, it's one to celebrate and enjoy–a great spectacle.” Of the winner, who also took the G3 Musidora Stakes at York in May and is yet another advert for her stratospheric sire, he added, “She's very special and very tough. She doesn't blow and is one of those hard and genuine racing machines with big lungs–she's all muscle and bone.” As she had at Epsom, Whirl was placed on the front end from the outset. Joined and briefly headed by the 5-6 market-leader as the expected duel got underway, the 13-8 second favourite had extra to give close home to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths, with last year's G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Survie (Churchill) 1 3/4 lengths away in third.

    • It’s been a mere formality for months but Zac Purton officially secured his eighth title at Sha Tin on Saturday, banging in a treble to move 59 wins clear in the jockeys’ premiership with only 50 races left in the season. Purton moved to 126 winners for the campaign – four short of last season’s tally with five meetings remaining – and while he’s miles off his Hong Kong record tally of 179 victories, he’s striking at a ridiculous 23 per cent. “It’s really nice to win another one. Apart from...View the full article
    • Talented sprinter Beauty Waves made the perfect start to life with new trainer Tony Cruz, banking a tough win in Saturday’s Class One Pearce Memorial Challenge Cup (1,000m) at Sha Tin. Recently transferred to Cruz after four wins for Pierre Ng Pang-chi, the Irish import enhanced his reputation as a straight-track specialist when he proved too slick for strong opposition in Saturday’s feature. Backed from $6.9 to $3.7 late, Beauty Waves was sent forward by Alexis Badel to race on the speed and...View the full article
    • Denying a treble for Coolmore and Wootton Bassett on The Curragh's Saturday card, Moyglare Stud's homebred Suzie Songs (Starspangledbanner) wore down Ballydoyle's 2-9 favourite Flushing Meadows in a thriller for the G3 Jebel Ali Racecourse And Stables Anglesey Stakes. “She's a nice filly with a bit of size and scope and is bred to go further,” Colin Keane said of the Ger Lyons-trained 7-2 second favourite, who built on her Cork debut win 15 days earlier to prevail by a short head with the market principals 3 1/4 lengths clear of the remainder. “She wants it and seven or a mile is where you'll see best of her.” Ger Lyons has one target in mind. “The one that's missing off my record is the [G1] Moyglare [Stud Stakes] and I'd love to win it–they are my owners and I'd say that's where you'll see her next.” The post ‘She Wants It’: Suzie Songs Battles For Keane To Upset Flushing Meadows appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Making it two-for-two on the card for the lethal combination of Aidan O'Brien, Ryan Moore and Wootton Bassett, Beautify ended the unbeaten run of Lady Iman (Starman) in The Curragh's G2 Airlie Stud Stakes. Sent to the lead from the outset, the homebred daughter of Dansili's G3 Munster Oaks winner Words and granddaughter of Moonstone kept finding as that 8-15 favourite threatened inside the final furlong. Pulling clear at the line, the 2-1 second favourite who was third on debut over this course and six-furlong trip last month registered a two-length success, with Al Shira'aa Racing's €1million Arqana Deauville August sensation Skydance (Night Of Thunder) 1 1/4 lengths away in third.
