King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S SATURDAY, JULY 26, 2014 732-747-8060 $ TDN Home Page Click Here DANDY ANYTHING BUT >LIST=-LESS King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. A field of six, headed by Robert Evans=s GI Belmont S. hero and J “TDN Rising Star” J Tonalist (Tapit) is set to kick off the second half of the sophomore season in today=s GII Jim Dandy S. at EXPLOITING THE SYSTEM Saratoga. The long-winded bay colt was heading for a If there is one antiquated measurement in racing that date in the starting needs addressing it is the weight-for-age scale, which gate for the was introduced by Admiral Rous in 1855. While the GI TwinSpires.com authorities stay in the past, today=s G1 King George VI Wood Memorial S. and Queen Elizabeth S. will test its relevance, as Apr. 5 and--had things Taghrooda (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) lines up in receipt gone well there--a trip of 15 pounds from the older colts. While it is true that to Louisville, but he no 3-year-old filly has missed the race with a won this race since lung infection. From Pawneese (Ire) in 1976, there it was Plan B and very few have tried subsequently. Oh So an appearance in the GII Peter Pan S. Sharp (Ire) was beaten Tonalist Adam Coglianese only by a colt from her May 10. Having own age group in 1985, endured tough trips in and the only serious his two previous outings, Tonalist was given a positive challenger from that sex ride and left nothing to chance, leading virtually Taghrooda in recent times has been throughout en route to a four-length defeat of Racing Post a below-par Eswarah Commissioner (A.P. Indy), and that duo came to settle (GB) (Unfuwain) in 2005. Like the latter, Taghrooda is the issue in the Belmont. Sent off at a generous 9-1, one of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum=s Tonalist tracked the pace from the outside, responded homebreds, but she already seems in a different league to a Joel Rosario drive and got up to best judging by her impressive and clear-cut victory in the Commissioner by a head. The issue facing bettors this G1 Epsom Oaks. In that June 6 Classic, the stoutly afternoon is whether this is a means to an end, that bred bay had the subsequent close-up G1 Irish Oaks end being the GI Travers S. Aug. 23. third Volume (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}) nearly four lengths behind without giving the impression that she Jim Dandy S. cont. p5 was fully extended. Taghrooda=s stablemate and fellow sophomore, GII King Edward VII S. winner Eagle Top (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) was green-lighted for today=s test after the rains came, adding further intrigue to an already interesting renewal. AWe had been talking about the possibility of Eagle Top being supplemented since the King Edward VII, and Taghrooda is a very exciting filly in her own right,@ trainer John Gosden told Racing Post. ATaghrooda running complicated matters from the point of view of persuading [Eagle Top=s owner-breeder] Lady Bamford to supplement but, goodness, it=s exciting to have some classy 3-year-olds in the race. It=s very good news for the race, and Taghrooda gives it great depth.@ Gosden recognized the challenge ahead of the filly, but noted that running her today is a sporting move from her owner. AThe allowances she receives for age and sex are a factor, although a 3-year-old filly hasn=t been successful since the 1970s. But Taghrooda is a high-class filly and it=s great sportsmanship on her owner Sheikh Hamdan=s part to run her in the race.

Reaching For The Stars... Before the decision was made to reroute Taghrooda from the Irish Oaks to here, J “TDN Rising Star” J Telescope (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) looked to hold leading claims to the title as the latest Highclere Thoroughbred Racing/Sir Michael Stoute project to bloom for the patient approach. Like the emphatic 2010 King George winner Harbinger (GB) (Dansili {GB}), Telescope has been brought along steadily as he builds towards the big time with a single piece of smart 3-year-old form to his name. That came when successful in the G2 Great Voltigeur S. at York in August before training setbacks intervened. After two soft-ground defeats this term, the handsome bay exploded when granted this trip and fast ground in the G2 Hardwicke S. at the Royal Telescope meeting June 21. The form of Racing Post his seven-length success in the same race Harbinger used as a springboard four years ago has already been upheld by the exploits of stable companion Hillstar (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) at the July meeting, and he appears to hold the aces among the older brigade. AHe was a heavier horse this year and we knew he=d take a bit of time and need a race or two to get to his peak fitness,@ Highclere=s Alex Smith said of the colt who, if successful, will push his trainer into a clear lead as record-holder in this race with six wins. ABy Ascot, Sir Michael had him exactly where he wanted to be and the ground was in our favor, so it all came together in a spectacular fashion. Four of his owners were involved with Harbinger, so they are on the same trail and to have another horse starting favorite is incredible in just four years. He has a beautiful, flowing action so he goes on top of the ground, but it wouldn=t matter if it was good or on the soft side.@ Aidan O=Brien=s representatives are always worthy of close inspection, especially when they have won the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas and GI Breeders= Cup Turf. Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Susan Magnier=s Magician (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) has surprisingly become something of the Aforgotten horse@ in the race after three defeats and an unimpressive win from four starts this term, but he showed he was coming back to a peak when second in Royal Ascot=s G1 Prince of Wales=s S. over 10 furlongs last time June 18, after which his rider stated he needed this rise in trip.
