Stradivarius Answers Gold Cup Call Cont FRIDAY, 22 JUNE 2018 IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL STRADIVARIUS ANSWERS By Chris McGrath GOLD CUP CALL The longest day, and in more ways than one. On the two previous mornings, the only racegoers on the train had been murmuring to each other over the rustle of their newspapers, trying not to feel too conspicuous in their finery among the stolid and resentful commuters. Yesterday, the same service was crammed with the noisy, bibulous vanguard of Ladies' Day, launching a fusillade of corks in ominous syncopation with the safety-catch clicking of cans. Some, plainly, were setting impossible early fractions. By the time the shadows of the solstice evening began to lengthen, they had been given an edifying lesson in how to manage a far more arduous test of stamina. And not just by the three magnificent horses who, after two and a half miles, produced a Gold Cup very nearly as thrilling as the one that last year qualified as the race of the British season. Cont. p4 Stradivarius prevails in a Gold Cup thriller | racingfotos.com IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Thursday=s G1 Ascot Gold Cup was mostly talked of as a match BODY & SOUL: ALL HAIL! between Order of St George (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Stradivarius Robert Fierro investigates the biomechanics of the (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), but the 2016 winner and 2017 descendants of Roberto. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN runner-up could manage only fourth this time while Bjorn America. Nielsen=s 4-year-old excelled in a fight with Vazirabad (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}). Successful in the G2 Queen=s Vase at this meeting 12 months ago, the chestnut--who was the 7-4 joint-favourite alongside the Ballydoyle stalwart--was kept back in fourth off the moderate early pace by Frankie Dettori. Angled out to grab the lead with a furlong remaining, he had Vazirabad to deal with from there but saw out the two and a half miles thoroughly to score by 3/4 of a length, with a head back to Torcedor (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in third and Order of St George a further three lengths away. AIt went perfectly--it was a great race and we had to fight for it, but he was very brave and did all the running for me,@ Dettori commented as he savoured a 60th Royal Ascot winner and a sixth win in the Gold Cup which lived up to all expectations. AThe crowd were behind it and I was loving it. Full credit to the horse, he was brave as a lion. Sometimes a race looks a great match on paper, but this turned out to be a great renewal. I come alive here--I love it! The Gold Cup is the showcase of the week and to do it for the John Gosden team is amazing--they are all my friends.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 24 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 22 JUNE 2018 Stradivarius Answers Gold Cup Call Cont. from p1 Stradivarius=s success means that he is a potential winner of the WH Stayers= Million in its inaugural year, having captured the 14-furlong G2 Yorkshire Cup on May 18. He only has to repeat his win in the July 31 G2 Goodwood Cup and then take the Aug. 24 G2 Lonsdale Cup back at York to provide his owner- breeder with the ultimate reward for his devotion to concentrating on staying types. This colt=s early period featured a maiden win on Newcastle=s Tapeta as a juvenile and he is yet another Royal Ascot winner to have previously scored on an all- weather surface. Second in a Chester handicap last May before coming to the fore in the Queen=s Vase, his acceleration up the ranks was marked thereafter as he beat the Gold Cup hero Big Orange (GB) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}) in receipt of 13 pounds weight-for-age in the Goodwood Cup before running third in the G1 St Leger at Doncaster in September. Admirable when third again behind Order of St George and Torcedor on soft ground which played against him and into the hands of that duo in the two-mile G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup, he had danced through the Yorkshire Cup on his return to set up this tilt. As he had in the Goodwood Cup, Stradivarius was a touch keen throughout the early stages with Mount Moriah (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) left in charge of pacesetting duties and Torcedor and Order of St George in second and third. With Ryan Moore keen to lift the tempo in the back straight as Johnny Murtagh Frankie was tracking his every move while Christophe used to on Yeats (Ire), he had to angle three-wide to do so but Soumillon was on his mount=s tail and Torcedor was refusing to the response was laboured which was perhaps predictable given give in up ahead, so the first of the main protagonists to crack how mulish he had been going down to the start. was Order of St George as he was squeezed out at the furlong pole. Once in front, Stradivarius kept rolling to deny the French raider who brought further international credibility to this vintage renewal. John Gosden, who was winning this for the first time, said, AIt was an extraordinary race. Frankie said they didn=t go that quick and his heels were definitely down early on, which meant the horse was taking him on. As usual, Mr. Soumillon was waiting like all good Frenchman to pounce late and frustrate us and it was a fascinating tactical race, because if Frankie had gone too soon there was the danger that Vazirabad would nail him. It was a proper finish and look at the line-up as they headed to the line. This little fellow stuck his neck out and on this ground he can flick off it. He=s a gorgeous little staying horse that we call Mighty Mouse because he=s not very big--he looks a bit like a mini Trigger with his four white feet, but he=s done it really, Frankie Dettori flying dismounts from Stradivarius, really well.

  • ARE SUPER TRAINERS GOOD OR BAD for the SPORT? by Chris Mcgrath Bill Finley Has Part II of His Two-Part Series on “Super Trainers” Dominating the Game of Racing
    THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2018 LETTER FROM ASCOT: HEROES AND GOATS ARE SUPER TRAINERS GOOD by Dave Johnson OR BAD FOR THE SPORT? When I heard the Ascot track announcer say, "Tony Curtis is heading to the stalls," it took me a while to put two and two together. "I thought Tony Curtis was dead," the guy next to me in the press box muttered. I was sure he was, too. But then I realized the announcer was talking about #16 in Wednesday's G2 Royal Hunt Cup Handicap. For those of you who always complain about short fields and favorites with ever blinking low odds, consider the fact that 32 were entered for this race today, and 30 ran. They needed three starting gates for the straight-on one-mile test. The favorite was 7-1. And it wasn't Tony Curtis (GB) (Rock of Click above to watch TDN video of trainers discussing the Gibraltar {Ire})--he finished nineteenth at 40-1. Late money Asuper trainer@ phenomenon poured in on #32 Seniority, making him the tepid public choice.

PLEGASTELL - Supplemented for this. Daughter of Planteur and has won both her outings at Saint Malo and latterly a Listed event at Craon after missing the break. Respected longshot. 2. FEE HISTORIQUE - Remains a maiden after four runs. Runner up in the middle two of those but only seventh here on her latest start. Would seem to have absolutely zero chance today and is a candidate for last. 3. MARIETA - Daughter of Siyouni has three starts. Runner up on debut at Maisons Laffitte before going back there to win. Big step up second in Gr2 at Deauville in August. Big shout. 4. NUNZIA - Was successful on debut at Marseille Borely in July. Runner up next time in a Listed at Vichy the following month. Fifth in bunch finish behind Savarin last time so more required. 5. BIONIC WOMAN - Promising runner up on debut at Deauville in August before a smooth victory last time out at Saint Cloud. This a big step up in class but trained by Andre Fabre, an absolute legend of the game. 6. FLIGHTY LADY - A debut third here in July which was followed by a win at Deauville the following month. Back here in September to finish third in a Gr3 behind Savarin in a tight enough finish. 7. KENLOVA - Won on debut at Chantilly back in May. Ran only in Gr3 events since. Finished third in the first two of those before close sixth behind Savarin here last time.
