G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S.

A picture of resilience on Newmarket's Rowley Mile on Saturday, Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) comprehensively turned around the form of the G1 1000 Guineas with Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S.

Group 1 winner Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) will not start in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on Oct. 2, and will instead be pointed at the Oct. 16 QIPCO British Champions Day. Trained by William Jarvis for Emma Banks, the 5-year-old mare won the G1 Nassau S. in late July, but was only seventh in the G1 Prix Jean Romanet on Aug. 22. Jarvis is pointing Lady Bowthorpe to either the one mile G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. or the 10-furlong G1 QIPCO Champion...

Saturday's G3 Atalanta S. heroine Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), runner-up in the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas in Newmarket in May, will make her next start at that course in the Oct. 2 G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S., trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam announced on Thursday. Originally, the Oct. 17 GI E.P. Taylor S. at Woodbine in Canada had been under consideration, too, for the 2020 G3 Oh So Sharp S. victress. "The plan going forward will be to head to the Sun Chariot. It is her backyard and...

Group 1 winner Lady Bowthorpe (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) will likely make her next start in the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. on Oct. 2. Trainer William Jarvis prefers that Newmarket option, with the G1 Prix de l'Opera back in France on Oct. 3 no longer under consideration. Later targets on the calendar include the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. or G1 Champion S. on Oct. 16 for the 5-year-old mare. In her most recent start, the G1 Nassau S. heroine was seventh of eight in the G1 Prix...

G1 Matron S. heroine Champers Elysees (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}) has been supplemented to the G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket on Oct. 3. Purchased by Teruya Yoshida of Shadai Farm after her win in the Sept. 12 Matron, the filly remains in the care of trainer Johnny Murtagh. The Matron was the fourth win in a row for the bay, who won a handicap at The Curragh in her seasonal bow June 12, added the July 28 Listed Corrib Fillies S. and captured the Sept. 2 G3...

Juddmonte's juvenile Group 1 winner Quadrilateral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will appear next in the Oct. 3 G1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot S. at Newmarket. A winner of the G1 bet365 Fillies' Mile at Ascot last fall, Quadrilateral has not found the winner's circle this season, but finished third in both the June 7 G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and fourth in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot later that month. She was last seen in action running fourth in the G3 Atalanta S. at Sandown on Aug. 23....

The Hugo Palmer trainee, who races in the colours of Dr. Ali Ridha, sustained several broken ribs earlier this year that has kept her out of action. A debut winner at Newmarket prior to her G2 May Hill S. victory, Powerful Breeze appears to have healed nicely and...
