Godolphin’s Clean Sweep On The Cards As Coroebus Scores

[Wandering Eyes]

Hot on the heels of the win of Goldspur (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the G3 Godolphin Flying Start Zetland S., another Godolphin-Charlie Appleby project was lighting up Future Champions Day at Newmarket as Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) dominated the G3 Emirates Autumn S. Caught close home having shown above-average acceleration in the G2 Royal Lodge S. over this course and mile trip last time Sept. 25, the impressive homebred was in last from the break with the anchor down. Despite racing away from the pace throughout, the 4-5 favourite tanked to the front with William Buick unable to contain him any longer 1 1/2 furlongs out and from there he was in a class of his own as he scored by two lengths from Imperial Fighter (Ire) (The Gurkha {Ire}), with Dubai Poet (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) 2 1/2 lengths away in third. “The last day, he surprised me how fast he picked up and we were aware of that today and rode him accordingly,” Buick explained. “I didn't think they went very quick and expected the dash to be on three down and it was, but there was nothing there to take me and again he got a bit lonely in front. He's a lovely big horse and he'll come back better and stronger after the winter.”
