Ballydoyle's dominance was again on display in Friday's G1 Betfred Oaks as Frankel's Minnie Hauk led home Wootton Bassett's Whirl for a stable one-two. Only getting started when winning the Listed Cheshire Oaks last month, the 9-2 second favourite sauntered around behind that companion before being committed by Ryan Moore heading to two out. Soon in command, the Derrick Smith colour-bearer was possibly idling as she let the Musidora winner Twirl back in close home and gave extra when joined near the line to prevail by a neck. There was a four-length gap back to the 11-10 favourite Desert Flower, with that daughter of Night Of Thunder never looking happy in her quest for the 1,000 Guineas-Oaks double.

Making it ten Coronation Cups for Aidan O'Brien on Friday, Galileo's Jan Brueghel shed his playboy image to tough it out in an Epsom battle royal with Gleneagles's Calandagan. Raw and green despite winning a St Leger during his unbeaten 3-year-old campaign, the 10-3 second favourite followed the pace before being launched approaching two out by Ryan Moore. Tackled by that 8-13 favourite and headed inside the last furlong, the full-brother to the Irish Derby hero Sovereign pulled out extra to prevail by half a length, with a yawning seven lengths back to Mastercraftsman's Giavellotto in third. “The pace was honest and even and in that ground you were going to have to get the mile and a half very well and we knew that if we were going to expose His Highness's horse it was going to be over this trip,” the master of Ballydoyle said. “If he was going to challenge in slow motion, he was going to find it hard to get by him and that's exactly what happened–Jan Brueghel doesn't lie down. He is very straightforward and he's brave.” The post Ten Up For O’Brien As Galileo’s Jan Brueghel Wins Coronation Cup Thriller appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Godolphin's£720,000 Goffs UK Breeze-Up graduate Maximized (Mehmas) delivered a TDN Rising Star display in his debut over six furlongs at Haydock last month and, burdened with a five-pound penalty for that initial victory, doubled his tally with a dominant performance in Friday's former stakes-level Betfred British EBF Woodcote Stakes at Epsom. The Cheveley Park Stud-bred lined up as the 6-5 favourite and was swiftly into stride to track the leaders in a share of third through the early fractions. Rowed along to gain an edge passing the quarter-mile marker, he was not for catching thereafter and kept on strongly under continued urging in the closing stages to defeat Havana Hurricane (Havana Gold) by an ultimately comfortable 1 1/2 lengths. “He skipped along the surface when he won at Haydock first time, but it's good-to-soft here and the ground is quite testing out there today,” commented Charlie Appleby. “The [Royal] Ascot picture is building now and if we go there it'll probably be the [G2] Coventry. If we skip that, I think the [G2] July Stakes [at Newmarket] will be a nice race for him.” Maximized is the latest of five foals and one of two scorers produced by a daughter of G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Hooray (Invincible Spirit), herself a out of Listed Star Stakes winner Hypnotize (Machiavellian). Hypnotize, who is a half-sister to Group 2-winning G1 1000 Guineas third Dazzle (Gone West), also threw Listed Criterium de l'Ouest victor Hypnotic (Lomitas) and Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy third Mazyoun (Mayson). The April-foaled bay is a half to Listed Cathedral Stakes victrix and G3 Ballyogan Stakes runner-up Benefit (Acclamation).

Reality is that the Rolleston training team is a helluva lot more capable than the North Island stable. Amanda and Tim have many very capable horse people alongside them, and when Steve sends horses down from the North, Tim and Amanda clearly improve them heaps! Yes there are wins out of the North Island stable, but they are racing horses of less ability generally! -
I bet the Telfer's wish they could clone Tim Williams and have him drive for the North Island too. How do you solve a problem like Josh Dickie?
