Addeybb

Newbury's G2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef S. has been won by the sprinting luminaries Harry Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) and Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) in recent times and Saturday's renewal has some potential class acts lurking in the line-up for the six-furlong feature. Setting the standard is John Dance's Rhythm Master (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) following his third placing in the G1 Prix Morny at Deauville on Aug. 23, but he has several unexposed rivals placing a target on him and will have to be every bit as...

British-based jockey Tom Marquand, who has been based in Australia through the winter and who partnered the William Haggas-trained Addeybb (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) to victory in the G1 Queen Elizabeth S. at Randwick last Saturday, has been fined A$2,000 for breaching COVID-19 protocols when hugging stablehand Safid Alam after dismounting. Alam was fined A$500. Racing NSW sought medical advice on whether the breach should affect Marquand's eligibility to continue race riding. After considering medical advice and hearing that neither Marquand or Alam has displayed COVID-19 symptoms, stewards are satisfied that...

"It ended up being a pretty good day," says Tom Marquand with no little understatement. The day in question came less than a fortnight ago in Australia when the English jockey landed his first Group 1 victory aboard the William Haggas-trained Addeybb (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) in the Ranvet S. That same afternoon at Rosehill, Marquand also guided Addeybb's stable-mate Young Rascal (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) to glory in the G3 Manion Cup. With Australian racing currently taking place behind closed doors, there was no thunderous applause to herald Marquand's breakthrough moment,...

The temporary suspension of racing in Britain has been a blow but two British-trained runners flew the flag high on the other side of the world when William Haggas's stable enjoyed a group-race double at Rosehill in Sydney in the early hours of Saturday. He may have had only a few hours' sleep but Haggas was all smiles on Newmarket Heath later that morning after Young Rascal (Fr) (Intello {Ger}) won the G3 Iron Jack NE Manion Cup followed by a hard-fought victory for yard favourite Addeybb (GB) (Pivotal {GB})...

Cheveley Park Stud's seemingly ageless Pivotal (GB) added Group 1 winner number 31 to his haul in Australia on Saturday when the William Haggas-trained, Tom Marquand-ridden Addeybb (Ire) took the 2000 metre G1 Ranvet S. at Rosehill by a half-length. Back in third was another son of Pivotal, Godolphin's Avilius (GB). Avilius is a triple Group 1 winner himself and took this race last year. Pivotal, at age 27, is still covering a select book of around 30 mares at Cheveley Park for a private fee. Cheveley Park Managing Director...

The grass gallops are now open on Newmarket's Warren Hill—a sure sign that spring is on the way, and formerly part of the traditional countdown to the start of the Flat season. These days, however, the top-class Flat action barely stops throughout the year which means that before the wraps come off the British turf season at Doncaster on Mar. 28, a number of the town's trainers will already have had some of their leading lights in action around the world. This spring promises to have a more international outlook...
