Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 14, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 14, 2019 Sir Michael Stoute has confirmed the G1 Qatar Sussex S. at Goodwood on July 31 as the next objective for his G1 Falmouth S. heroine Veracious (GB) (Frankel {GB}). The Cheveley Park homebred secured the Group 1 success she has long promised at Newmarket on Friday–making every yard of the running under a tremendous ride from Oisin Murphy. Goodwood’s G1 Nassau S., in which she finished third last year, was mooted as a potential target in the immediate aftermath. However, speaking on Racing TV’s Luck On Sunday programme, Stoute revealed he is leaning towards letting his filly take on the boys over a mile. “She had no travel and got a lovely ride. She’s come out of the race well,” said the trainer. “She’ll probably now go for the Sussex. She ran a big race at Goodwood in the Nassau last year. I was delighted for Cheveley Park–they deserve to be winning races like that.” The master of Freemason Lodge also provided an update on stable star Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). An authoritative winner of the G1 Prince of Wales’s S. at Royal Ascot last month, the 5-year-old is reportedly firmly on course for a mouth-watering clash with John Gosden’s dual Arc heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in the July 27 G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. Stoute added, “We’ll go for the King George. John’s filly is a machine, and she’s going to be very hard to beat, but we’ll have a go.” The post Sussex Targetted by Veracious appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
