VITAL INFO
"Going"
On how the going effects different racehorses.
Following heavy rainfall at Ascot this week the going has changed.
significantly.
Much
care needs to be taken always to prevent serious injury to racehorses if they
are left in to run when the state of the ground is wrong for them. If they
can’t handle soft ground they cannot be run on soft ground end of story. A tricky
predicament for owners and trainers sometimes placing your racehorse in danger
of serious injury or death if you go ahead and run...
The Ascot
racecards on Saturday will be made up of racehorses who like soft ground, and
can act on soft ground. And that is how it should always be. Unfortunately people often find this hard to understand.
By Bruce Jackson
Post yesterday.
“As weather causes more big names to drop away,
timing of Ascot’s showpiece finale comes under fire.
. Clive Brittain’s duel Group1 winner
Rizeena does not take her chance now due to the softening ground. Clive defends
both Ascot and the Champions Weekend saying: “I hope there is plenty of support
through the turnstiles. The weather is always a guessing game – you can’t
predict the weather that far in advance? It doesn’t mean if it doesn’t come off
this year it should be the end of it. People are training horses for the
backend of the season with the big money races as their goals. Newmarket is
dipping its toe in the water on Friday (CH4 LIVE) with top class
Group 1 races and I hope the crowds turn out both days in their thousands to support
racing and make it successful. ”
COUNTDOWN NEWS FOR CHAMPIONS WEEKEND AT ROYAL ASCOT
Stuart Riley
“Spencer reunited with Maarek for sprint bid”
MAAREK will be reunited with Jamie Spencer for the first time in 12 runs and more than a
year when he attempts to win the Qipco Champions Sprint for the second time on
Saturday. Spencer is two from three on Maarek, most prominently in this event
two years ago but also when landing the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the
Curragh in 2012. He last rode the son of Pivotal into ninth in the Diamond
Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last year. ….. “The ground looks like being
suitable for him at Ascot, at least in theory, although he has run well on
better ground over five furlongs.
“But if it’s what I’d call English soft rather
than very testing ground then it should be ideal for him.
“Richard Hannon can virtually close out the
Champion Trainers’ title race in the Queen Elizabeth 11 Stakes if bookmakers
have it right as he has favourite Night Of Thunder-the only -Classic winner of
this season on show- and Toronado in the
top three in the betting, as well as last year’s champion-two-year-old Toormore
for good measure.
“They face two new rivals with Custom Cut and
Captain Cat both supplemented at a cost of
£70, 000 to push the race ‘s prize-money past £1 million.
“Despite concerns over the ground turning heavy,
Hannon said yesterday “All three will run. Toronado should be OK on it, he won
a Sussex with dig in the ground. Night Of Thunder will like it and Toormore has
won on it as well.
“Freddy Head is looking to add another Group 1 to
his family fortunes with Charm Spirit, the second favourite who beat Night Of
Thunder in the Moulin last time.
“He said yesterday: Charm Spirit is very well. I think he will
like Ascot. He has improved a lot since he last came to England {for the Qipco,
2000 Guineas in May} The ground will not bother him-he will go on anything. “
Integral, winner of the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes last month , is another contender ,
and her trainer Sir Michael Stoute said: “She appeared to take that race very
well , both in terms of weight loss and demeanour, but Group 1 races do leave
their scars, so we will know on Saturday
if 14 days has been enough. “
“Kevin Ryan yesterday ruled out The Grey Gatsby,
despite leaving the duel Group 1 winner in at the last forfeit stage, and
Coral-Eclipse winner Mukhadram being retired.
“Ryan said: “He doesn’t run at Ascot. The ground
is too soft for him-it’s heavy ground that has had 25mm of rain overnight. I
don’t think there is anything else for
him this season, but he’ll stay in training next year. “
