Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 15 Journalists Posted October 15 Victorous Forever's Group 1 hero Caballo De Mar (Phoenix Of Spain) is training toward the G1 Prix Royal-Oak on October 26, trainer George Scott revealed. A winner of the G3 Deutsches St Leger in September, the bay won the G1 Prix du Cadran in very soft ground on October 4. “He came out of the race [Cadran] really well, one of his main attributes is his toughness and tenacity,” said Scott. “We really want to run him again, and if the ground was soft we'd have supplemented him for Ascot but instead we'll go for the Prix Royal-Oak back in France.” Scott had mentioned several overseas targets when his charge won the Cadran earlier this month, but for now those plans have been traded for a potential G1 Gold Cup bid. Scott said, “We've decided he wants cut in the ground so we're going to save him and not send him travelling this winter, though I'm not saying he won't end up at World Cup night as a one off. “We're going to save him for the nice staying races in Europe, he deserves a break and we'll give him plenty of time. The Gold Cup will be his target when he comes back, but that's a long way off and we'll have to keep an eye on the ground.” The post Caballo De Mar Pointing To Prix Royal-Oak appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
