Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 19, 2021 Journalists Share Posted April 19, 2021 Sunday's G3 John Porter S. victor Al Aasy (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is a likely starter in the June 4 G1 Cazoo Coronation Cup at Epsom according to trainer William Haggas. Also under consideration is the G3 Huxley S. at Chester on May 7 for the Shadwell colourbearer. “I don't think it was that good a race, but I thought he won well–he won like I hoped he would,” said Haggas. “He's always been a very slick, smooth worker and a horse with a lot of talent, but he ran appallingly at Newmarket first time out at three. “He won his maiden easily and then won the Bahrain Trophy and then he flopped a bit in the Gordon, but this is his year, I think. “The Coronation Cup would be my first preference. I had a conversation with Angus [Gold, Shadwell racing manager] and I'm toying with the Huxley as well because he needs racing, he was very playful beforehand yesterday. “So, if he goes anywhere before Epsom it will be Chester. He certainly stays, as he showed in the Bahrain Trophy, but he's got plenty of pace. The Huxley is an extended mile and two furlongs but you have to stay at Chester, no matter what some people say. I think a bit of cut in the ground will suit–if it rains by then.” The post Coronation Cup Possible For Al Aasy appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
