    • Former Major League Baseball champion Jayson Werth will be in attendance at Deauville when the exciting Outfielder lines up in the G1 Sumbe Prix Morny on Sunday, August 24. Werth, who owns the son of Speightstown in partnership with Amo Racing and trainer Wesley Ward, won the 2008 World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies. In racing, he is perhaps best known as the part-owner of Dornoch, who won last year's GI Belmont Stakes and GI Haskell Stakes for trainer Danny Gargan. Werth also played a starring role in the Netflix series Race for the Crown, following Dornoch's exploits on the Triple Crown trail in 2024. Speaking to TDN last month about the quest for a fourth Prix Morny win, Ward said of the unbeaten Outfielder, “I'm just excited for this horse. He's got a wonderful ownership group. Jayson Werth, his World Series-winning outfielder. And that's how I picked his name, Outfielder. And Kia [Joorabchian, founder of Amo Racing], who's huge in the game now. He's come in and spent lots and lots of money to have horses like this and to be a part of his group. “They're all excited to go there. It's such a beautiful place. If anybody goes to Deauville, France on a vacation, let alone for the horses and to be involved in a horse race like this at Group 1, you have a yearning to go back. It's a great place to go.” Outfielder's potential rivals in the Prix Morny include the recent G2 Richmond Stakes winner Coppull (Bated Breath), who will be trying to provide trainer Clive Cox with a second success in that Deauville contest after that of Reckless Abandon in 2012. “He's in great form and we were very pleased that the race [the Richmond] took place before the rain fell at Goodwood,” said Cox. “I've been delighted with how he has come out of that and, all being well, he will head to the Prix Morny where he won't be penalised for his success. It's a well-trodden path. “His form was boosted again at the weekend by the Amo horse [Power Blue] who was behind us at Ascot [when Coppull finished third in the G2 Coventry Stakes]. I see no reason to be anything but pleased with the progress our horse is making. He took the step up to Group 2 in his stride and that has vindicated a further step up at this stage.” The post Jayson Werth Deauville-Bound in Support of Prix Morny Contender Outfielder appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
