Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 23, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 23, 2018 Sir Peter Vela’s G1 Investec Derby fourth and MGSW Eminent (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) is targeting the G2 Huxley S. at Chester on May 11, trainer Martyn Meade announced on Monday. The 4-year-old will then take in the June 20 G1 Prince of Wales’s S. at Royal Ascot on June 20. Oisin Murphy will partner the G2 Prix Guillaume d’Ornano hero, who signed off his sophomore year with a third in the G1 QIPCO Irish Champion S. in September. “I think that putting him away, after the [Irish] Champion S. was the right thing to do and he had a busy season,” Meade said, who had recently moved his yard from Newmarket to Manton in March. “The principal target early on will be the Prince of Wales’s at Ascot, that’s what we’re aiming for and I’ll need to give him a preparation race for that. I think the [G1] Prix Ganay ground would not be ideal for him although he did go on soft ground last year. I think he’ll be better on a faster surface and I’m leaning towards the Huxley at Chester during their festival in May. It is a track which would suit him and it would be a very good prep race so that is top of the list at the moment.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
