Desert Flower Ready To Bloom In The Fillies' Mile

Having extended her unbeaten sequence in Doncaster's G2 May Hill Stakes, Godolphin's Desert Flower (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) has to do it all over again in Friday's G1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. On the face of it, the TDN Rising Star may only have to repeat last month's form, with Ballydoyle's number one looking to be the runner-up January (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) if jockey bookings are the guide. Ryan Moore has opted for the Listed Churchill Stakes scorer, who has 1 1/2 lengths to find on Desert Flower, with...

Field Of Gold Sits Solario Test

One of the season's more exciting 2-year-old prospects, Juddmonte's TDN Rising Star Field Of Gold (Ire) bids to emulate his sire Kingman (GB) on Saturday as he looks for a first pattern-race success in the feature G3 Solario Stakes at Sandown. Kept back for this seven-furlong staging post by John and Thady Gosden since his impressive success in a Newmarket novice at the July Festival, the grey meets some other fascinating types in Jeff Smith's clear-cut Salisbury novice winner Royal Playwright (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), an Andrew Balding-trained son...

Goodwood Debut Win For American Pharoah's Daughter Of Tapestry

Introduced in the same seven-furlong Goodwood maiden on Thursday that Ballydoyle won with Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in 2016, Dreamy (Ire) (American Pharoah--Tapestry {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) became the latest to fly the flag for the Rosegreen stable in a largely fruitful week.
