York

Juddmonte's undefeated 2019 G1 St Leger winner Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will step forward in the Oct. 9 G3 Cumberland Lodge S. at York. Originally slated for Oct. 3, the Cumberland Lodge was part of Ascot's cancelled card. The John Gosden trainee already sports a win over the course in the G2 Great Voltigeur S., and he was last in action in a Sept. 10 conditions race at Doncaster. Over the winter and for most of 2020, he had been recovering from a life-threatening infection. "I hope he'll be going...

After the abandonment of the Oct. 3 card at Ascot, four of those races have been rescheduled, the British Horseracing Authority announced on Monday. The G3 Cumberland Lodge S. has moved to York on Oct. 9, while the G3 Bengough S. will take place there on Oct. 10. The Listed October S. has been transferred to Goodwood on Oct. 11 and rounding out the quartet, the Listed Rous S. has moved to Nottingham. Entries for the Cumberland Lodge, Bengough and October will close on Tuesday, with the declarations 48 hours...

Now that all the building blocks are laid on solid foundations, Godolphin's imposing presence Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the complete structure as a mature 5-year-old entire capable of enormous efforts. The latest of those was a once barely-conceivable 2 1/4-length defeat of Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in Sunday's G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown and he lines up a worthy short-priced favourite for Wednesday's G1 Juddmonte International at York. This is a race that suits his age group, with the likes of Halling (Ire), Singspiel (Ire), Falbrav (Ire) and Sulamani (Ire)...

Group 2 winner Supremacy (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) is now likely for the G2 Gimcrack S. at York on Friday, after wet weather has taken the G1 Prix Morny off his dance card, Racing Post reported on Tuesday. The G2 Richmond S. winner was one of two in the race for trainer Clive Cox. "We were looking towards the Morny, but that's not on the agenda any more with the really heavy ground in Deauville," said Cox to Racing Post. "We're monitoring the weather in York and obviously he'd have a...

Group 1 winner Aspetar (Fr) (Al Kazeem {GB}) has been scratched from Wednesday's G1 Juddmonte International S., Racing Post reported on Tuesday. The G1 Preis von Europa hero's latest bloodwork was abnormal, and trainer Roger Charlton opted to skip the York showpiece. "I wasn't convinced his last piece of work was up to scratch," Charlton told Racing Post. "We did a routine blood test on him this morning, got the results this evening and decided it wouldn't be right for him to run in a Group 1 race." The 5-year-old...

Dual Classic heroine Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is one of six fillies and mares holding their ground for the G1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks over the Knavesmire on Aug. 20. The Aidan O'Brien trainee dominated the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas by 4 1/4 lengths in June, and extended her winning margin to nine lengths over 1 ½ miles in the G1 Investec Oaks on July 4. The Coolmore representative faces two from the John Gosden yard, with Juddmonte's MSW Franconia (GB) (Frankel {GB}) and Anthony Oppenheimer's Frankly Darling (GB) (Frankel {GB}),...

Godolphin's MG1SW Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who defeated dual G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) when last seen in the G1 Coral-Eclipse S. at Sandown in early July, faces just five opponents in the G1 Juddmonte International S. at York on Aug. 19. However, four of the quintet have also won at the highest level. Ghaiyyath faces the Qatar Racing pair of MG1SW Kameko (Kitten's Joy), who won the G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas this term, as well as G3 Musidora S. heroine Rose of Kildare...

Shadwell's MG1SW Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who won the 2019 edition of the G1 Nunthorpe S., is doing well ahead of a title defense in the Aug. 21 York contest. Trainer Charlie Hills is upbeat ahead of the big day, especially as the bay sports a two-for-two record in 2020. He opened his 6-year-old account with a win in the G1 King's Stand S. at Royal Ascot on June 16, and then added his fourth G2 King George Qatar S. at Goodwood on July 31. "He had a nice...

The group-placed Golden Pal (Uncle Mo), who has an entry in the G1 Nunthorpe S. at York on Friday, Aug. 21, will instead remain in America trainer Wesley Ward confirmed to the International Racing Bureau. The Ranlo Investments LLC runner ran second by a neck in the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot in June. On the same day as the Nunthorpe is the Skidmore S. at Saratoga, where the son of accomplished turf speedball Lady Shipman (Midshipman) will contest instead. "Golden Pal is not coming," said IRB Director Adrian...

Golden Pal (Uncle Mo), runner up behind The Lir Jet (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) in the June 19 G2 Nortfolk S. at Royal Ascot, will make his next start in York's G1 Coolmore Nunthorpe S. Aug. 21. The juvenile had been scheduled to contest this weekend's Tyro S. at Monmouth Park in New Jersey, however, was withdrawn after the race came off the turf due to heavy rain. Trainer Wesley Ward has finished second in two prior tries in five-furlong Nunthorpe with Acapulco (Scat Daddy) and Lady Aurelia (Scat...

Fresh off the back of her 5 1/2-length victory in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. on Saturday, Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) emerged from the Ascot showpiece in good condition, trainer John Gosden confirmed. The next start for the formidable Juddmonte colourbearer is undecided, but she is targeting a pair of races at York--either the Aug. 19 G1 Juddmonte International S. or the Aug. 20 G1 Yorkshire Oaks. The former features a rematch with Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), while the outstanding dual Classic heroine Love (Ire) (Galileo...

Dual Classic heroine Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will skip the G1 Irish Oaks and instead point for the G1 Yorkshire Oaks in August, Racing Post reported on Monday. The Aidan O'Brien pupil, who won the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in June and the G1 Investec Oaks at Epsom on July 4, will then target the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. "Love doesn't run this weekend," O'Brien told Racing Post. "She is perfect. What we are thinking at the moment is that she probably going to go straight...
