Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 7, 2018 Phoenix Thoroughbred’s Advertise (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) is only “50-50” to take up his entry in the G1 Keeneland Phoenix S. at The Curragh on Sunday with connections considering a switch the G1 Prix Morny the following week. Martyn Meade’s colt filled the runner-up spot behind the subsequently sidelined ‘TDN Rising Star’ Calyx (GB) (Kingman {GB}) in the G2 Coventry S. at Royal Ascot before running out a facile winner of the G2 July S. at Newmarket on July 12. Connections have been aiming towards this weekend’s Group 1 feature ever since, but are now considering a trip to France. Freddie Meade, assistant to his father, said, “We are deciding whether we go to Ireland or France for the Prix Morny. Ireland has always been the plan. The forfeit stage has come out for the Phoenix S. today, so we will have a look at that and go from there. I’d say it is 50-50 at the moment. We always identified the Phoenix as the target and because those entries were out and the Prix Morny entries weren’t out, that is why Ireland was the main target, but having looked at it and thought about it, France might be a better option.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
