Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 3, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 3, 2019 Khalid Abdullah’s Sangarius (GB) (Kingman {GB}), the 2 1/4-length winner of the G3 Hampton Court S. at Royal Ascot, will step up to Group 2 company for the York S. on July 27. The ‘TDN Rising Star’ won the Listed Flying Scotsman S. at two and was fourth in the G1 Dewhurst S. “He’s come out of the race fine, and we’ll look at the Sky Bet York S. later this month–it seems to be a good progression for him,” said Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner/breeder Khalid Abdullah. “It all seemed to click at Ascot. We’ve always thought a lot of him and we hope there’s more in him, but certainly it was pleasing to see some of our expectations being realised. He’s a nice, big, scopey horse.” Grimthorpe also provided an update on another Juddmonte Kingman ‘TDN Rising Star’, Headman (GB), who won the G2 Prix Eugene Adam on Sunday for trainer Roger Charlton. “He won really well,” said Grimthorpe. “It was a good day out, and he could return to France for the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano, the Group 2 at Deauville. “He’s grown into his frame. After he won at Newbury, giving a lot of weight away, he has progressed from that. The ground went too soft [when a non-runner] at Ascot–he definitely wants good ground. I think it was on the fast side of good at Saint-Cloud.” The post Sangarius To Step Up appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
