Last term's GI Belmont Oaks Invitational heroine Cinderella's Dream (Shamardal) was undone by Crimson Advocate (Nyquist) at last month's Royal meeting and exacted revenge on that rival in Friday's G1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes, providing Godolphin with a breakthrough success in the one-mile contest. “I don't think she was quite 100% on song and she was beaten too far out at [Royal] Ascot,” explained Charlie Appleby. “She came out of it well, we freshened her up and we came here with confidence. I don't really want to travel with her like we did last year. I want to take her back to the Breeders' Cup and the [G1] Nassau [Stakes at Goodwood] is an option.” Steadied to race under cover in fifth after breaking on the lead, the 5-2 second favourite made smooth headway from halfway to challenge going well passing the quarter-mile marker and was driven out up the rising ground to assert by a half-length from January (Kingman). Crimson Advocate held every chance at the foot of the hill and played her part in a thrilling three-way tussle, finishing 1 3/4 lengths adrift in third.

The European Federation of Thoroughbred Breeders' Associations held its AGM this week in Newmarket where a number of key challenges and potential threats facing the industry were discussed. Major topics of discussion included the European Union's proposed animal transport regulations, mandatory vaccinations and much more. Commenting on the AGM, EFTBA Chairman Joe Hernon said, “The federation will continue to combat against the serious threats facing Europe's thoroughbred breeding industry, our fellow breeders and their livelihoods, while ensuring equine wellness is at the centre of all our actions and decisions. “Despite such challenges, we can rightly take pride in our industry, which for us all is a wonderful and rewarding way of life. It is in this vein we will continue to be the guardians of the thoroughbred and strive to make it current and respected in an ever-changing world.” The post EFTBA Holds AGM During The July Meeting At Newmarket appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Ka Ying Rising has prevailed in the tightest Hong Kong Horse of the Year fight in years, with the David Hayes-trained superstar crowned at the Jockey Club’s Champion Awards gala dinner at the Rosewood on Friday night. Ka Ying Rising’s undefeated eight-win season, which included four Group One victories, was enough to see him get the nod over Voyage Bubble, who also won four Group Ones this term, and globetrotting giant Romantic Warrior. Ka Ying Rising also scooped the Champion Sprinter and...View the full article -

Saturday, Newmarket, post time: 16:35, THE AL BASTI EQUIWORLD, DUBAI JULY CUP-G1, £657,000, 3yo/up, 6fT Field: Inisherin (GB) (Shamardal), Jasour (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Night Raider (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Notable Speech (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Rogue Lightning (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Run To Freedom (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), Twilight Calls (GB) (Twilight Son {GB}), Believing (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Flora Of Bermuda (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), No Half Measures (GB) (Cable Bay {Ire}), Big Mojo (Ire) (Mohaather {GB}), Ides Of March (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Spy Chief (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Symbol Of Honour (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Whistlejacket (Ire) (No Nay Never). TDN Verdict: Notable Speech tightens up here, with the two pertinent questions being whether he can turn it on in the first part of the race and how good the established sprinters are. One of them is in his own stable, so Charlie Appleby must have a clear idea of where he sits with the Carnarvon and Sandy Lane winner Symbol Of Honour. Whistlejacket, who captured the July Stakes over course and distance at this meeting 12 months ago, was a touch unlucky in the Commonwealth Cup but needs to prove he is up to this calibre, while last year's July Cup favourite Inisherin just gets more and more disappointing as time goes on and looks more of a seven-furlong performer. It is a concern that the normally reliable Believing was below-par at Royal Ascot, but she is the kind of hard-knocking sprinter this race suits while Ides Of March is not out of it if things fall his way. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Ascot, post time: 14:22, THE CORNISH ORCHARDS SUMMER MILE-G2, £140,000, 4yo/up, 7f 213yT Field: Dark Tornado (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Haatem (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), My Cloud (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Never So Brave (Ire) (No Nay Never), Nostrum (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Point Lynas (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}), Prague (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Quddwah (GB) (Kingman {GB}). TDN Verdict: The Royal meeting's winners Haatem, My Cloud and Never So Brave clash here, with the former having the Stakes form having conquered the 10-furlong Wolferton. My Cloud went through the Royal Hunt Cup like a class act in the making and is full of untapped potential as a half-brother to Palace Pier, while Never So Brave showed in the Buckingham Palace what Sir Michael Stoute was prophesying in 2024. Last year's winner Quddwah is back at a more realistic level after his Queen Anne flop, but needs to regain some confidence. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, Newmarket, post time: 16:00, THE BET365 SUPERLATIVE STAKES-G2, £100,000, 2yo, 7fT Field: Bourbon Blues (GB) (Space Blues {Ire}), Italy (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Moonfall (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Raakeb (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Saba Desert (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Wild Desert (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Venetian Lace (Ire) (Masar {Ire}). TDN Verdict: TDN Rising Star Italy beat the subsequent Chesham runner-up Thesecretadversary with a degree of panache at Leopardstown in May and it is hard to get away from the buzz that surrounds him. Charlie Appleby has an excellent record in this and William Buick is on the Sandown winner Saba Desert by Dubawi, who captured this in 2004 and has sired three winners of it. Stablemate Wild Desert did little wrong when turned over by the second-string Pacific Avenue in an important course-and-distance stepping stone last month and remains an exciting prospect. [Tom Frary]. Saturday, York, post time: 15:45, THE JOHN SMITH'S SILVER CUP-G3, £85,000, 4yo/up, 13f 188yT Field: Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Maghlaak (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), Onesmoothoperator (Dialed In), Samui (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Subsequent (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Tabletalk (Ire) (Camelot {GB}). TDN Verdict: Al Qareem looks the solid one on his second to Illinois in the Ormonde and when taking the course-and-distance Listed Grand Cup by storm. Subsequent is making his seasonal debut, having signed off at three with a win in the Listed Noel Murless Stakes and is from a stable that can do no wrong at present. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 20:25, CYGAMES GRAND PRIX DE PARIS-G1, €600,000, 3yo, c/f, 12fT Field: Surabad (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Leffard (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), New Ground (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Trinity College (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Uther (GB) (Camelot {GB}), Frankly Good Cen (Fr) (Frankel {GB}). TDN Verdict: Prix du Jockey Club form is the order of the day here, with half the field having crossed swords in the Chantilly Classic. Jockey Club fourth and TDN Rising Star Trinity College has since prevailed in Royal Ascot's G3 Hampton Court Stakes and reopposes Chantilly seventh Frankly Good Cen and 17th Leffard. Juddmonte's New Ground was a never-nearer fourth in Epsom's G1 Derby and rates a serious threat while Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's G3 Prix Noailles winner Uther, a half-brother to last year's hero Sosie, comes back off a third in May's G3 Prix Greffulhe. The in-form Francis Graffard stable is represented by G3 Prix du Lys second and supplementary entry Surabad, who snagged April's Listed Prix de l'Avre over this course and distance. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 19:10, PRIX RADIO FG – PRIX MAURICE DE NIEUIL-G2, €119,000, 4yo/up, 14fT Field: Sibayan (Fr) (Blame), Columbus (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Yashin (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Emblet (GB) (Aclaim {Ire}), Waldadler (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Double Major (Ire) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}), Internaute (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Francis Graffard's in-form stable is represented in this stamina test by Sibayan, who was defeated by a whisker in last month's G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly and seeks a pattern-race breakthrough here. He will be confronted by the Wertheimer duo Double Major, who won this last year, and Internaute. The pair met when fifth and sixth in May's G1 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier at ParisLongchamp. Double Major's Christophe Ferland-trained stablemate Columbus annexed last year's G3 Prix Gerald de Geoffre and rates a danger returning off a short-neck second in Saint-Cloud's Listed Prix La Moskowa on seasonal comeback one month ago. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 19:50, CYGAMES PRIX DE MALLERET-G2, €119,000, 3yo, f, 12fT Field: Rabbit's Foot (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Indalimos (Fr) (Cloth Of Stars {Ire}), Sunly (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Miss Of Change (Fr) (King Of Change {GB}), Three Pearls (Fr) (Intello {Ger}), Qilin Queen (Ire) (Pinatubo {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Juddmonte's hitherto undefeated Sunly puts her perfect record on the line and will head postward coming back off a taking victory in last month's G3 Prix de Royaumont at Chantilly. Seeking revenge is Royaumont runner-up Indalimos and fifth home Rabbit's Foot. Victoria Head trainee Three Pearls is held by the latter on their Listed Prix Caravelle running while Classic form is represented by G1 Oaks eighth Qilin Queen and Czech Derby heroine Miss Of Change. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Mulheim, Germany, post time: 16:15, BBAG DIANA TRIAL-Listed, €25,000, 3yo, f, 10fT Field: Bastion (Ger) (Brametot {Ire}), Lips Vega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), German Style (Fr) (Shamalgan {Fr}), Ismahane (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}), Near Rib (Ger) (Ribchester {Ire}), Nurania (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Que Bella (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), Rockshalaa (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}), Stugardia (Ger) (Tai Chi {Ger}), Sunshine Baby (Fr) (Areion {Ger}), Tausendschon (Ger) (Destino {Ger}), Winnyzja (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}). TDN Verdict: With eight prior starts in the books, G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen third Lips Vega is the most experienced contender in this late-stage launchpad to next month's G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) and sets the domestic standard. Stugardia also has black type to her name, having run second in April's Listed Henkel Stutenpreis at Dusseldorf, while Tausendschon makes her stakes bow coming back off a clear-cut debut success at this venue last month.
