Field Of Gold (Kingman) will bypass the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York later this month as he continues his recovery from the setback sustained when suffering a shock defeat in last week's Sussex Stakes. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Field Of Gold was sent off the 1/3 favourite to complete a Group 1 hat-trick at Goodwood, but at no stage did he look like pegging back the Juddmonte pacemaker, Qirat (Showcasing), ultimately finishing three and three-quarter lengths behind that rival in fourth. The next day the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes winner was reported to be lame on his left-hind leg. Happily, there has been an improvement in his condition in the interim, according to Barry Mahon, Juddmonte's European racing manager, but an appearance on the Knavesmire is definitely off the cards. “The horse is doing well and was back sound, which is good,” said Mahon. “He's got a little bit of swelling in his fetlock, but John and Thady are much happier with him so the plan is to do the X-ray on Wednesday. They've just pushed it back a day, as the longer you can leave it, the clearer the picture is. “That will give us some more insight and, if the X-ray is clear, we can hopefully start back into some light exercise towards the end of the week or early next week. York, though, is definitely not going to happen at this stage.” Considering future targets for the season's outstanding three-year-old miler, Mahon added, “It was the plan pre-Goodwood to stick at a mile for the time being. Obviously, there has been no chat about potential races since Goodwood. We're just going to have to let the dust settle, let him get back into exercise, and then when he is fit make a plan from there. “You are getting into that time of year when there is not an abundance of opportunities. There is the Moulin, QEII or you go up to a mile and a quarter for the races at that distance. I wouldn't say there is a huge amount of options, but we'll just wait and see and let the horse tell us.” The post Field Of Gold “Doing Well” But Definitely Out Of The Juddmonte International appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Agree to disagree Gamma! Lol They are only able to put up the current stake money due to Entain and that is going to stop! Personally do not think they have administered harness racing at all well, but at the end of the day hopefully you are right and more than happy to be proven wrong in 2 years. To my mind They should have slowly implemented stake rises this way all the money would not have been blown . Anyway good that we can have a healthy debate about things. What would be good is if Mathew Peden or Brad Steele who represent HRNZ would come on BOAY and reassure us all that things are going along nicely! -

Multiple Group-winning mare Olentia was the star of the Magic Millions Virtual Sale on Tuesday when going the way of Olly Tait's Twin Hills Stud for A$2.6 million. Tait later confirmed that the daughter of Zoustar was bought on behalf of Wathnan Racing as a broodmare prospect. Offered by Glenesk Thoroughbreds on behalf of Star Thoroughbreds, the six-year-old half-sister to Group 3 winner Wandabaa (Wandjina) and dual Listed winner Malkovich (Choisir) accrued just shy of A$1 million in prize-money over a 23-start career under the steerage of Chris Waller, with her seven wins including the G2 Emancipation Stakes. She most recently finished third in the G1 Tattersall's Tiara. Denise Martin and Star Thoroughbreds had a similarly stellar result at last year's edition of the sale when selling G1 Coolmore Classic winner Espiona (Extreme Choice) for A$4.15 million to Yulong. The winner of over A$3.3 million on the track, Espiona is currently in foal to Yulong resident Pierata. “We had a reserve on her of A$2 million, as we thought that was a good starting point for her,” Martin said of Olentia. “We hoped that she would fetch a little more than that and, when the sale price was knocked down as A$2.6 million, we were elated. “I think it's correct to say we are especially elated that Olly Tait bought her because he's an internationally renowned judge of high-quality bloodstock. It was thrilling for us to know that he loved her and wanted to buy her.” She added, “I'm not sure if we can do this every year. But two years in a row with excellent results for our well-performed mares under the care of Chris and his team has just enabled us to have two very good sales to look back on now and to reflect on the success of the horses in their race careers. It was a great result and I'm thrilled she is going to a wonderful home.” The post Olentia Sells for A$2.6 million via Magic Millions, Bought on Behalf of Wathnan Racing appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Platinum Emperor (NZ) (Sweynesse) and Cavalry (NZ) (Tavistock) renewed their rivalry after finishing 1-2 respectively in the Mitavite Asia Cup (Metro A – 1400m) three weeks ago and repeated that result in the Supreme A race over 1600m at Selangor racecourse in Malaysia on Sunday. Whereas Platinum Emperor was hard-pressed before winning by half a length last time out, the Sweynesse gelding had it much easier this time, coasting home by 2-1/2 lengths to bring his record in the country to three wins from four starts for the former Macau galloper. His only other run was when finishing third to Noah Khan in the Tunku Gold Cup (1200m) in March. Marc Lerner, who also rode Platinum Emperor last start, again showed judgement on the six-year-old. Platinum Emperor was well up with the early pace but was caught wide. The Frenchman elected to ease his mount back and settled on the rails in seventh place. But the pair was only five lengths from the pacemaker Arigato at the 800m mark. Arigato shot to the front soon after the jump to lead from Calvary and Superb Luck. They were followed by Energy Baby, Golden Pegasus and Valois. Arigato led into the straight with the rest of the field bunched up behind him. Lerner had eased Platinum Emperor out from the rails from the 600m and was looking for a run between runners at the top of the straight. At the 400m, he was in the clear and was just three lengths adrift out the leader. Cavalry was the first to challenge Arigato and hit the front at the 300m. Platinum Emperor went up to Cavalry shortly after the 200m and grabbed the lead 100m out to win by drawing away. “His (Platinum Emperor) fitness last time out was not ideal,” said trainer Ricky Choi on the gelding’s improved run today. “Today’s run was in preparation for the Selangor Gold Cup 1600m) coming up next month. I am targeting him for that. Platinum Emperor’s win today was Choi’s first since the same horse last won on Jul 12. And he doubled the score for the afternoon when Hennu Stall finally broke through, winning his eighth start in the country in the Class 5A – 2000m handicap. View the full article
