Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 10, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 10, 2019 Charlie Appleby intends to give Godolphin’s unbeaten G1 National S. hero Quorto (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) his first start over a mile in the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. The Newmarket trainer plans to send the ‘TDN Rising Star’ straight to the opening colts’ Classic on May 4, for which he is general 8-1 chance, on his return from a winter break in Dubai. After winning his first two starts, a Newmarket novice race on June 22 and the G2 Superlative S. on July 14, Quorto maintained his perfect record when signing off for the season with a Group 1 victory in the National S. at The Curragh on Sept. 16. Appleby said, “Quorto has been wintering away well and doing what is being asked of him. Everything is going in the right direction. The intention is to go straight to the Guineas. From two to three he has done well and has done what you would hope to see.” Quorto will remain in Dubai until much nearer the start of his 3-year-old campaign. Appleby added, “He has done well cantering away–there have been no serious questions asked of him at this stage, but he is pleasing me in what he is doing. There is no set time for him to come back [from Dubai] yet, but it will be just before the Guineas.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
