Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 7, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 7, 2019 Trainer John Gosden is working back from the G1 Champion S. at Ascot on Oct. 19 with ‘TDN Rising Star’ King Of Comedy (Ire) (Kingman {GB}), and the G1 St James’s Palace S. second will be seen next in the Aug. 21 G1 Juddmonte International at York. “I said after the St James’s Palace S. that the Champion S. would be an obvious target. I think it will be right up his alley,” Gosden said. “We’ve freshened him up and given him a break since Ascot. He was on the go fairly early in the spring. I think in the end his best trip is going to be a mile and a quarter and he likes Ascot. He’ll be suited by the trip and the track. “He’s going to run in the Juddmonte International and he wouldn’t necessarily go straight to Ascot as he’s been entered in the Qipco Irish Champion S. as well. He’s going the right way and we’ve always thought enough of him.” King Of Comedy could meet another ‘TDN Rising Star’ son of the red-hot Kingman in the G1 Champion S.: the Juddmonte homebred Headman (GB), trained by Roger Charlton. Headman will first try to emulate his sire with a win in Sunday’s G1 Prix Jacques le Marois. “Headman is going to run in Deauville so we’ll see how he goes from there, but he certainly could be one for the Champion S.,” said Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Khalid Abdullah.
