"He likes this track, so I'm glad to be back here." Tagg added, "It means a lot. You don't get top contenders all the time. He's a nice horse. Hopefully, he's as good as we think. You work every day, seven days a week, you just hope nothing happens and nothing goes wrong. But so far, so good. We're pleased with the way he's been doing and we're ready for the race."

He is announcing the races just for you, just for the television audience at home. It is a far different call from what you hear whilst watching at the track, where you have your binoculars trained on the field, or listening to the radio. What is so terrific about Ian's descriptions is that he identifies in his call the horses, as many as 30 in some races, by the obvious colors of the silks the rider is wearing. In addition to the placement of the runners, the margins between horses, their on-course positions inside, outside or between rivals, and sometimes even their rank in the betting ring from big gamble favorites to extreme longshots.

LORD NORTH POUNCES IN RUSSIAN EMPEROR SWOOPS IN THE HAMPTON COURT PRINCE OF WALES=S S. Bouncing out of Leopardstown=s G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial, Ballydoyle=s Russian Emperor (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) demonstrated the buoyant health of his stable by landing a strong renewal of the G3 Hampton Court S. on Wednesday. Second eight days ago racing against the bias at that Foxrock venue, Laurie Macri and Coolmore=s 10-3 second favourite was delivered from rear by Ryan Moore with a surge to overwhelm the 9-4 favourite First Receiver (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) in the final yards. With full momentum as he crossed the line, the son of the triple Group 1 heroine Atlantic Jewel (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) forged a half-length success over The Queen=s representative, with 1 1/4 lengths back to Berlin Tango (GB) (Dansili {GB}) who was excelling under a four-pound penalty. AHe is a lovely horse that is straightforward and has a great Lord North | Racing Post attitude,@ commented Ryan Moore after steering a landmark 60th Royal winner. AHe was very professional--he has had the With (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in her box at Clarehaven, benefit of a couple of runs this year and let=s see if he will keep John Gosden could have been forgiven for giving up on the 2020 progressing. He has a very good pedigree--his dam was G1 Prince of Wales=s S. but instead he unleashed a secret exceptional in Australia. I think he will be a nice horse going weapon in the hugely-progressive Lord North (Ire) (Dubawi forward for the rest of the year.@ Cont. p4 {Ire}) and duly collected regardless. Despite the striking manner of his success in the G3 Brigadier Gerard S. at Haydock just 10 days previously, it was still a surprise to see that his trainer believed he was worthy of being pitched in at this level and now we know why. Sheikh Zayed bin Mohammed Racing=s imposing bay was the consummate professional for James Doyle throughout the early stages, cruising in rear and beginning his charge off the home turn. Storming past Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) and to the front approaching the furlong pole, the 5-1 shot surged clear to beat that dual Group 1 winner by a yawning 3 3/4 lengths, with Barney Roy (GB) (Excelebration {Ire}) completing the gelding trifecta 1 1/4 lengths further behind in third. AI think when John takes a horse into a race like this you do Russian Emperor | Racing Post have to prick your ears, and he was quite unexposed,@ his jockey explained.

G1 Prince of Wales=s S. Cont. from p1 He added, AHe travelled into it great and showed a good turn of foot. I think he can continue now and be a pretty strong force in these type of races.@ Lord North demonstrated what he was capable of when scoring by 11 lengths in a two-runner Newcastle novice last April, but after his subsequent last of eight in the Listed Heron S. at Sandown the following month it was clear that he needed gelding to fully tune in to his metier. Back in early September to finish second in a Cambridgeshire warm-up over a mile here, he built on that effort later in the month when annexing Newmarket=s prestigious nine-furlong contest in the style of a top-class animal. Runner-up sent back to this venue for the Balmoral H. again over a mile on Champions Day, he signed off his 3-year-old campaign with a clear-cut first black-type success in Newmarket=s Listed James Seymour S. over this trip in November. This race was marked by the sluggish start of the 6-4 favourite (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and the subsequent decision by Silvestre de Sousa to cut out the running on Bangkok (Ire) (Australia {GB}). Barney Roy was too fresh in behind, as was the returning Headman (GB) (Kingman {GB}) but Lord North was always travelling well within himself as he waited for the pace to collapse up ahead.

We=ve always thought he was a very classy horse. It=s taken a long time to get it out of him, but that has always been more to do with the mind than anything else.@ ABangkok set a strong pace, it was an end-to-end gallop and he picked them off,@ Gosden added. AThe favourite missed the break, which muddled the race for him, but this is a proper horse. He sat out the back and won with great authority--he could have waited even longer. He has got that turn of foot, but he is quickening and those in front were tiring a bit. This mile and a quarter takes some getting from Swinley Bottom, it rises many feet.@ Gosden was not committing to putting Lord North up against John Gosden (right) & James Doyle debrief Enable in the G1 Eclipse S. at Sandown July 5.

James was able to taste Group 1 success with the Gooree Park-bred and raced Hallowed Crown in the 2014 G1 Golden Rose and 2015 G1 Randwick Guineas. Across his 35 years at Gooree Park, Baddock was able to get to know the man himself, someone who relished the quiet of his horse haven at Mudgee. "He was very down to earth, and he craved normality. He had come from the hustle and bustle of political and business life in Manila and he liked nothing more than to go around the fields here at Gooree and look at his mares and foals," he said. "We would go into the pub for lunch here at Mudgee and he'd have a steak and no-one knew who he was. He just loved that.

Baddock said that Cojuangco's greatest was probably breeding a horse of the rare quality and influence of Northern Meteor, but it also provided him with his toughest moment in the thoroughbred industry.

Cojuangco also brokered a landmark sponsorship deal for San Miguel of the AJC in the 1990s, in a period where the industry was in major need of an injection of investment. "It was a 5-year $40-million deal, which was probably bit of a rush of blood at the time on his behalf. It was more about a gift to Australian racing if nothing else. He was a very wealthy man, but he was very generous too," Baddock said.
