    THURSDAY, 16 MARCH, 2017 TIARA TAKES CHAMPION HK INTERNATIONAL SALE A >STAR=-STUDDED AFFAIR by Alan Carasso CHASE CROWN For many years a part of the festivities of Hong Kong International Races week, officials at the Hong Kong Jockey Club took a decision in 2014 to push the sale forward a few months, reasoning that the extra time could do a world of good for the young horses.

Though the sale has had its fair share of marquee results down the years, including G1 Hong Kong Mile winner The Duke (Aus) (Danehill) (HK$1.6 million purchase) and world champion and treble Hong Kong Mile hero Good Ba Ba (Lear Fan) (HK$1.7 million), >TDN Rising Star= Pakistan Star (Ger) (Shamardal) could take the event to new heights this weekend.

    FRIDAY, 11 DECEMBER 2020 FAR ABOVE A SPEED ACROSS THE CODES: LATE STARTER, SUPA FINISHER SPECIALIST FOR COMPAS Across The Codes is Emma Berry's occasional look at the narrow divide between the Flat and National Hunt. Supasundae (GB) was bred for those high summer days at Epsom, Ascot and Goodwood. By Galileo (Ire) and out of a Danehill half-sister to Group 1 winners Nathaniel (Ire) and Great Heavens (Ire), both of whom are also by Galileo, it was no stretch for his breeder Newsells Park Stud to have Classic aspirations for him when he arrived in this world in January 2010. Plan A didn't quite work out: Supasundae was bought in at 195,000gns when failing to reach his Book 1 reserve at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and, two years later, he was bought for a now scarcely believable ,5,000 at Goffs UK as an unnamed and unraced gelding.

    Gold Cup Preview GOLD CUP PREVIEW Plenty of comparisons have already been made between Arkle and Best Mate, and they’re bound to become even more popular should the best staying chaser of the present day complete a hat-trick of Cheltenham Gold Cup victories in mid-March. Just for the record, the following paragraph from Chasers & Hurdlers 2002/3 may help to put into perspective just how good Arkle really was:- ‘In the 1965/6 season, Arkle ran four times before his third Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, starting off with a twenty-length win under 12-7 in the Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown in November, setting a time record which still stands for the course and distance. Later that month, Arkle took his second successive Hennessy under 12-7, winning by fifteen lengths from Freddie who received 32 lb. Arkle made it three wins from three starts with victory by a distance in the King George VI Chase before again winning the Leopardstown Chase on his way to Cheltenham. Arkle conceded 42 lb to the second and third at Leopardstown; runner-up Height o’ Fashion, who went down by a neck, did most of her racing in Ireland but was worth a Timeform rating of 168+ whilst third-placed Splash, beaten a further fifteen lengths, had won the previous year’s Irish Grand National and earnt a Timeform rating of 157. Arkle gave them a 43 lb and 55 lb beating respectively and was 10/1-on when making it five out of five for the season when taking Best Mate jumps the second last in splendid isolation twelve month ago 1 Cheltenham Festival Issue the Gold Cup in a canter.
