GOFFS UK/ARQANA COMBINE BRITISH CLASSICS PROVISIONALLY MOVED TO JUNE TO HOLD IRISH BREEZE-UP A Guineas meeting in early June and the Derby and Oaks run in early July feature in the British Horseracing Authority's "best-case scenario" planning for a resumption of racing. With racing currently suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the season's first four Classics have been delayed from their usual slots in the calendar. However, the sport's Resumption of Racing Group is working to draw up provisional plans for when racing is able to return, with "a phased approach" to racing behind closed doors anticipated in the immediate stages. In a communication sent to trainers on Friday evening, the BHA said "it is unlikely that the entire black-type programme will be staged this year," although it "will ensure that the key generation-defining races will be run, as well as safeguarding the Group 1 programme as much as possible."

In what could be a first for European sales, the horses will gallop "potentially in a timed breeze" a few days prior to being offered for sale at the Goffs complex at Kildare Paddocks. There will also be an online bidding facility to support the live auction. A joint statement released by the two companies on Saturday afternoon read, "The dates are dependent on the resumption of racing in some form in the UK and/or France and/or Ireland, and hopefully allow time for lockdown measures to be relaxed so that there can be some attendance at the sale. Naturally all government directives will be followed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved." It is normal practice for the sale to take place in the day or Anthony Van Dyck winning the 2019 Derby | Racing Post days immediately following the breeze session but the intended gap between the horses breezing and the sale being conducted is to "allow films of the breeze-up work, and other vital IN TDN AMERICA TODAY purchaser information, to be disseminated around the world whilst an online platform will support the live auction with CE CE RALLIES TO NARROW APPLE BLOSSOM WIN potential purchasers being offered the facility to bid as normal, Ce Ce (Elusive Quality) left it until the last stride, but she got her over the telephone or remotely via the Arqana and Goffs nose down where it counted in the GI Apple Blossom at websites."

The disappointment of the race was Serengeti Empress, who remained a forward factor into the final furlong and a half, but gave way readily from there to finish a well- beaten 11th.
