    Stars from Home and Abroad Set to Shine in £270,000 Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup

    Stars from home and abroad set to shine in £270,000 Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Embargoed until 20:00, 23rd April 2017 Frankie Dettori, Jamie Spencer, Kerrin McEvoy and Emma-Jayne Wilson have been confirmed as team captains for the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup; the world’s premier international jockeys’ competition at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday 12th August. All six races are handicaps worth £45,000 bringing the total prize money to £270,000. Each participant will get five rides as they bid to win the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup for their team. Last year saw the Rest Of The World team lift the trophy for the sixth time when they claimed two of the six races. Emma-Jayne Wilson, who captained the Girls team to victory in 2015, is back and will be joined by Michelle Payne from Australia, and 2016 Champion Apprentice Josephine Gordon. Payne made history in 2015 when becoming the first female to win the Melbourne Cup, on the 100-1 shot Prince of Penzance, while Gordon became the third female to be crowned British flat racing Champion Apprentice in 2016 after Hayley Turner and Amy Ryan. Wilson is Canada’s most successful female jockey having ridden over 1,000 winners. This will be her sixth Shergar Cup appearance. Wilson said: “I am so proud to have been part of the first Girls team to win in 2015 and I am looking forward to being back at Ascot this year. The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup provides a great opportunity for us girls to prove we are as good as some of the world’s best male jockeys and I can’t wait to team up with Michelle and Josephine.” Payne, added: “I am so excited about riding in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, especially after the disappointment of not being able to last year due to my injury.

Winx has left us with our hearts in our mouths, jaws on the floor and wonder in our eyes. What a remarkable career. We salute you Winx. DONCASTER MILE, 2016 Think about this for a moment … 1in Winx’s Doncaster win she gave Happy Clapper 6kg. That is 8kg before the mare’s allowance, and she was only four-years-old too. After settling down with just three runners behind her, Hugh Bowman was niggling the daughter of Street Cry approaching the 600m but once she squeezed through the pack halfway down the straight, she strode clear to win by two lengths going away. Bowman admitted he was as worried as onlookers in the run. This was the day Chris Waller conceded he had a champion on his hands. RIGHT: Hugh Bowman salutes the crowd after Winx’s epic Doncaster Mile victory in 2016 GEORGE RYDER STAKES, 2017 Breathtaking. Winx made a habit of 2winning this race but none were more dominant that the 2017 edition where she annihilated a field that included Le Romain and Chautauqua, with nine Group Ones between them. The wet track certainly played into her hands but after she idled up the leaders at the 400m it was just a matter of margins. It was 7.3 lengths in the end.
