Loving Dream, a group 1 winner on Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (G1) weekend last month, has been retired to her owner's Lordship Stud in Newmarket. View the full article -
Friday at Newbury saw the racing take place on ground described as Good to Soft. The Berkshire Novices Chase wasn't short of incident as first PIC D'ORHY fell when leading four out and then MILLER'S TALE, who looked to be in control, fired Harry Bannister into orbit two out. That left NASSALAM to come home a mile ahead of TEA CLIPPER. Was NASSALAM a fortunate winner? Probably but the object of the exercise is to jump the fences. The Long Distance Hurdle saw veteran and fan favourite PAISLEY PARK sent off head of the market to win this race again but though he raced more prominently and jumped better than has sometimes been the case, he's unquestionably lost a bit of his old edge and he was readily brushed aside from two out as the race developed between THOMAS DARBY and ON THE BLIND SIDE and the former proved much too good despite having made a couple of errors on the way round. -
We'll start the weekend review in reverse order (just to see who's still with me) and start with this morning's Japan Cup at Tokyo: Japan Cup 2021: A fitting end to a superb racing career as CONTRAIL defied the odds of 3/5 and came home the winner of the Japan Cup. He was thwarted by the brilliant ALMOND EYE in this last year but he was just too good for these and goes to stud having won £8.3 million in win and place money. He's by Deep Impact (naturally) out of an unraced daughter of Unbridled's Song. On ratings, he's a couple of lb behind A SHIN HIKARI who in his day won both the Hong Kong Cup and the Ispahan. I'd love to see some of his progeny racing beyond Japan. AUTHORITY ran a fine race in second with the 2021 Derby winner SHAHRIYAR firmly put in place, nearly four lengths behind the 2020 winner. Of the Europeans, GRAND GLORY ran a huge race in fifth collecting £212,000 for his connections. As I suspected, the fast ground was hat he wanted and I wonder if his connections will look to races in England next year where he's more likely to find quicker ground - a race like the Coronation Cup or the King George could be very interesting. JAPAN and BROOME finished eighth and eleventh respectively.

I actually think he's a really good horse. His last run in the UK before he headed to Aussie was super impressive and he went a great race in the Melbourne Cup. He's a pace on Flemington horse, not a sit and sprint short straight Caulfield type. That Sandown race had its stake tripled I think and was moved back a week, and moved to Caulfield to try and boost the field. It didn't work this time, but given time it is probably a good decision. There is just so much money up for grabs in Aussie now that horses can pick and choose so we are getting some pretty weak races. -

Horses that stick on for the Sandown (Caulfield) meeting are often slowpokes chasing some decent money against horses like Sound, who hadn't won for how long?... It couldn't even win the Auckland Cup, so Spanish Mission is a dead-set 4000m plodder who can't sit and sprint, like most stayers have to in Australia. Sydney Cup beckons... -

I think the Hopes have only used Blair twice for two wins. How can they take a truckload of horses to the races almost every meeting and only get the occasional win. I always put a line through their horses unless a top driver is used. Yes I know they have won 54 races this season but their UDR is only 0.21 placing them 110th on the list, yes better than M House, Some others not that flash but a little higher are M Jones and C Dalgety.

Nz results pretty solid last night with Alta Orlando (2nd )and Triple Eight (4th) Majestic Man (1st) for Nz owners in opening round. Think 'Blacks A Fake' with his 4 grand Final wins was the best winner I saw. hard to believe his 3 starts in NZ didn't gain a win in his career. See the horse IRAKLIS was a good second at Auckland GrandFinal too . behind 'Our Sir Vancelot' (Brian Hancock) 1999 . wouldn't you of enjoyed that race more than 'Elsu' winning even ?
