Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.

  • Cent Ans De Jockeys À Chantilly Peinture Murale Réalisée En Juillet-Août 2013 Par L'artiste LUCAS-FAYTRE
    Cent ans de jockeys à Chantilly Peinture murale réalisée en juillet-août 2013 par l'artiste LUCAS-FAYTRE Présentation du projet et de l'artiste Biographies et palmarès des jockeys & par Guy ThibauLt historien des courses Porche de la médiathèque 34 rue d'Aumale Edito Chantilly est aujourd’hui unanimement reconnue comme la Capitale du cheval. Elle le doit bien sûr aux 2700 pur- sang qui s’entraînent quotidiennement sur le territoire de la communauté de communes, à ses infrastructures hippiques et équestres, à son histoire mais aussi et surtout à des hommes qui depuis plusieurs siècles construisent jour après jour cette réputation : les jockeys. La ville a donc souhaité honorer la mémoire et la carrière des meilleurs jockeys de plat des 100 dernières années - vivants ou disparus - ayant couru à Chantilly ainsi que des propriétaires et écuries qui ont fait la gloire de Chantilly. Pour cela, et afin de placer encore une fois l’art et l’histoire dans notre quotidien, la municipalité a opté pour la réalisation d’une grande fresque peinte sur un mur de la ville par une artiste de l’Oise Sophie LUCAS-FAYTRE. Pendant plusieurs semaines, nous avons ainsi assisté peu à peu à la naissance de cette peinture murale. Nous avons vu apparaître des portraits, avons reconnu avec joie certains visages, avons découvert ceux des plus anciens dont seuls les noms nous étaient connus. Aujourd’hui, 19 «cracks jockeys» et leurs casaques chatoyantes illuminent le porche de la médiathèque. Souhaitons que cet hommage coloré porte chance aux jockeys d’aujourd’hui et donne envie à ceux d’entre nous qui ne l’auraient pas encore fait, d’assister au merveilleux spectacle que constituent les courses à Chantilly.

    9:30 P.M. HK TIME (2.10.2011) Qatar Prix de la Foret (Group 1) S1-6 3:30 P.M. LOCAL TIME (2.10.2011) Longchamp Racecourse - Turf Track - 1400 Metres (Right-handed) For 3 years old and upwards. Weights: 3yo 126lb; 4yo+ 128lb. Allowances: fillies and mares about 3.3lb. Total Prize Money (EUR) €300,000 1st €171,420, 2nd €68,580, 3rd €34,290, 4th €17,130, 5th €8,580. (8 Starters) Overseas Expert Column by Wally Pyrah An all-star cast includes wonder mare GOLDIKOVA –winner of 14 Group 1’s – and considered the best equine female in world. The Freddie Head trained mare will be an odds-on favourite to provide back-to-back victories in a race she dominated twelve months ago. Connections took a gamble when they ran her on unsuitably soft ground over 1600mtrs in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville in August and paid the price. The wonder-filly was caught close home by IMMORTAL VERSE with Italian rival WORTHADD back in 9th place. Back to her optimum trip and favoured fast ground possibly, GOLDIKOVA will take a lot of beating. UK challenger DREAM AHEAD steps up in trip from 1200mtrs following two Group 1 victories in the ultra-competitive July Cup at Newmarket, and Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock. Trainer David Simcock has always believed he is capable of winning over 1400mtrs plus and here will be his chance to prove it. Irish trained challenger BEWITCHED is an interesting challenger. Following her 1400mtrs success over Group class ZOFFANY in Ireland in May, the DANSILI filly subsequently disappointed when made favourite for the Golden Jubilee over 1200mtrs at Royal Ascot in June.

He was a superstar there for two decades, every bit as successful in France at that time as his compatriot Steve Cauthen was in Britain. Five times Cash was France’s champion jockey. He was an Arc winner, he won four French Derbys and every French Classic at least once, and more than 70 G1s worldwide. If there had been a TRC Global Rankings back then, he would have been a regular in the higher reaches of the world top ten. After I arrived in the States in 2014, Cash Asmussen had disappeared from the public eye.
