Frankie Looking for a Flying Start TUESDAY, 15 JUNE 2021 ZINC WHITE HEADS GOFFS LONDON SALE FRANKIE LOOKING FOR A Selectivity was the watchword for the Goffs London Sale, FLYING START which returned after an absence in 2020 and was held online for the first time. While Royal Ascot will be able to welcome 12,000 racegoers daily this year, the week will have nothing like the normal buzz about it, with most international travellers prevented from attending. It is impossible to reproduce virtually the garden party atmosphere of the London Sale which, over the previous six years at Kensington Palace, has provided an enjoyable warm up to the most sociable week of racing in the calendar. The sale's unique selling point has always been the inclusion of horses entered to race during the Royal Meeting. Just three of the 11 lots were sold this year, but there was still an international feel to proceedings with the buyers hailing from Australia, France and Britain. Cont. p5 Frankie Dettori | Francesca Altoft IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Frankie Dettori left it late to win his second consecutive BAFFERT FILES SUIT AGAINST NYRA jockey=s title at Royal Ascot in 2020, so this time he will be Trainer Bob Baffert has filed a lawsuit against the New York looking for an instant boost via Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) Racing Association (NYRA), alleging NYRA violated his due in the opening G1 Queen Anne S. on Tuesday.

Since that breakthrough success, the John and Thady Gosden-trained bay has enjoyed an almost fault-free run garnering the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and the G1 Lockinge S. at Newbury May 15, with his sole reversal when third in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. due to a combination of deep ground and a lost fore shoe. At this juncture, he is one of those priceless commodities to kick off the Royal meeting; an already-high-class miler probably still only nearing his prime dominating his division. It was in this race in 1990 that Frankie first signalled his arrival on the main stage with Markofdistinction (GB) and there is an argument that the 31-year-older version is as good as any of his profession in recent memory. AI=m no different to an actor going on stage at the theatre,@ he said. AEverybody knows that I=m quite lucky at Ascot. The crowd gets behind me and I love it. I need the crowd, I need the atmosphere.

  • Top Jockey, Trainers and Owner Awards up for Grabs at Royal Ascot
    TOP JOCKEY, TRAINER AND OWNER AWARDS UP FOR GRABS AT ROYAL ASCOT 15th June 2020 Awards for leading jockey, trainer and owner will once again be distributed at this year’s Royal Ascot. Frankie Dettori claimed the QIPCO Leading Jockey Award at the Royal Meeting in 2019 with seven victories, thanks largely to a superb four-timer on day three. The 49-year-old looks set to have another excellent book of rides this year as he aims for a seventh title at the meeting. With Jamie Spencer sidelined through injury, Ryan Moore is the only other jockey riding this week to be previously crowned top jockey at Royal Ascot, having claimed the most recent of eight meeting titles in 2018. Due to the protective measures in place this week, there will be no transferable armband for the leading jockey throughout the meeting. Aidan O’Brien received the QIPCO Royal Ascot Leading Trainer Award for a 10th time in 2019 and looks to have his string in top form once again. Other previous winners who will be hoping to have a good week include Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Mark Johnston and Saeed bin Suroor. Paul Cole, who was leading trainer at Royal Ascot in 1994, will aim to create history by becoming the first British-based trainer with a joint-licence to win at the meeting, having gone into partnership with his son Oliver at the start of the season. Simon and Ed Crisford, another father and son combination, will also be looking to saddle the ground-breaking first.

  • World's Top Races of 2017 Dominated by Champions
    WORLD’S TOP RACES OF 2017 DOMINATED BY CHAMPIONS SERIES CONTESTS Four QIPCO British Champions Series races were today named as being among the top ten run anywhere around the world last year with Cracksman, the emphatic winner of the QIPCO Champion Stakes on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October, rated the top horse in Europe. The announcement was made at the Longines-sponsored World's Best Racehorse and World's Best Horse Race Ceremony in London this afternoon which saw QIPCO British Champions Series races account for almost a quarter of the world’s top 100 races of 2017. The King George VI & Queen Elizabeth at Ascot in July, sponsored by QIPCO, was rated the top race in the UK and the second best race in the world in 2017, while the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Juddmonte International Stakes at York, and QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot all also made the top ten (jointly rated 7th in the world). Thrillingly, Cracksman, rated the world’s third best racehorse courtesy of his seven-length demolition of the field in the QIPCO Champion Stakes on Britain’s richest raceday, remains in training in 2018 along with his stable companion Enable (rated 5th). Her 2017 Series’ triumphs included the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth (sponsored by QIPCO), the Investec Oaks and Darley Yorkshire Oaks, before landing the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and there is the exciting prospect of the pair clashing in the 2018 QIPCO British Champions Series. In addition to the John Gosden-trained pair, a further three horses who lit up the 2017 QIPCO British Champions Series make the world’s top ten, including Ulysses (rated 6th), who won the Coral-Eclipse and subsequently landed the Juddmonte International, together with the Godolphin stars of Harry Angel (rated equal 7th) and victor in the 32Red Sprint Cup and Queen Anne winner, Ribchester (equal 9th) who also make the top ten of the World’s best horses.
