Workforce runs at Longchamp

The decision that seemed to be a no-brainer four months ago has finally been taken. After coming through a morning workout on the Newmarket gallops Workforce was confirmed as a runner for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, at Longchamp on Sunday, for which there will be a field of 22.

Ryan Moore picks up Theysken’s Theory ride

Ryan Moore’s slim chances of retaining his jockeys’ title slipped from his grasp when he slipped from his horse at Windsor in August. The jockey, who missed more than three weeks with a wrist injury, has done his best to make up for lost time and now picks up a plum spare ride at the [...]

No Arc decision about Workforce

Sir Michael Stoute is one of racing’s great planners. He proved that when he managed to emerge from the wreckage of Workforce’s run in the Dante Stakes to win the Derby just three weeks later. He is also one of the game’s great poker faces, at times almost revelling in his ability to keep the [...]

No jockey decision about Snow Fairy

By his own admission Ed Dunlop’s season with Snow Fairy has been “the most amazing fairytale story” but there are a few elements conspiring to make life hard for him to attempt a third Classic win of the season in the Group One Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster on Saturday.

Ryan Moore injury scare

Champion jockey Ryan Moore was taken to hospital after a fall during Windsor’s evening meeting. Moore was riding Rocket Rob for trainer Marco Botti in the third race on the card. The horse had been towards the rear of the field in the early part of the race but made progress through the final quarter-mile [...]

Rebel Soldier wins Gordon Stakes

Rebel Soldier may have won the trial but whether he will be allowed to press his claim for the main event is open to doubt. The Group Three Betfair Gordon Stakes at Goodwood has proven to be a useful guide to the St Leger, with nine horses completing the double; the first horse to win [...]

Soraaya wins Princess Margaret Stakes

Winners often provoke memories and Soraaya certainly did. Mick Channon’s filly came from last to first for Ryan Moore to win the Group Three Princess Margaret Abu Dhabi Stakes at Ascot. She came through horses to beat Margot Did by a half-length and the two fillies paid a mighty compliment to Richard Hannon’s Memory, who [...]
