Prince of Wales's S. cont. For a champion with over ,5-million in the bank, So You Think has attracted more than his share of unfair criticism, and the sceptics were out in force after his eclipse by Rewilding (GB) (Tiger Hill {Ire}) here last year. He silenced some with an impressive defeat of Workforce (GB) (King's Best) in the G1 Eclipse S. Horsephotos at Sandown just days later, but did not please all when making hard work of beating Snow Fairy (Ire) (Intikhab) in the G1 Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown in September. By the time he had his lowers colored in the vastly contrasting tests of the Arc, the Champion S., the GI Breeders= Cup Classic and Dubai World Cup, he was in danger of becoming something of a forgotten horse on the international scene, but team Ballydoyle had gone to work restoring his former prowess. Buoyed by a smooth European return when annexing the May 27 G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh for the second consecutive year, connections came back to Ascot full of belief that his true talent could be unlocked. Unlike last year, when the stable pacemaker missed the break and the early stages proved a mess, this time Robin Hood (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was out fast to set the necessary fractions for his companion. So You Think was placed wide and out of trouble traveling easily behind his rabbit and the Stateside challenger Big Blue Kitten (Kitten's ), and was left in pole position as that duo started to retreat at the top of the stretch. Attacked by Carlton House, who had quickened through a gap towards the inner, the favorite produced another surge to settle the result with a furlong remaining, and was stretching away as the Royal runner's stamina ebbed away. Aidan O'Brien said, "We reviewed everything and we listened at the end--[former trainer] Bart [Cummings] was speaking from the heart, and I was probably overworking the horse here and galloping the speed out of him, instead of letting him be natural. Joseph was of the opinion that he would wait and ride him that way. Before we got him, everyone was of the opinion that he was all speed, but I started off on the wrong leg with him and tried to make him stay a mile and a half. I worked him too long and too often, but we knew we only had a few runs left--today and Sandown--to get him back, and the lads were confident it was going to come. It will be the boys' decision when he goes to stud, but [the July 7 G1 Eclipse S.] Sandown was in our head as a cut-off point. We're just delighted to get him back to where Bart had him, and all I can say is I'm sorry it took me so long to get him back to where everyone in Australia said he was. If he wasn't such a great horse, I'd have made a right mess of him." Cont. p4

Joseph O'Brien added, "He relaxed lovely and quickened up very well when Ryan [Moore, on Carlton House] got the split on the inside. Once he could see the other horse on his inside, he was never going to be beaten. I just wanted to get him into a rhythm and let him relax, as he has loads of class and can quicken and, when things work out, he's an exceptional horse." Carlton House's trainer Sir Michael Stoute told PA Horsephotos Sport, "He couldn't get enough cover as he was a bit off the fence, but he was second best, it's as simple as that. Ryan gave him a great ride; he had every chance, but he just found one too good." Godolphin's Farhh (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), who was just a half-length behind on his stakes debut, ran an eye- catching race as he reared in the stalls--he had been injured when doing the same in a conditions race won by Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) two years ago--and lost ground before being hampered in his run in the home straight. Trainer Saeed bin Suroor commented, "We are delighted with him, he had been physically weak, which is why he hasn't had many runs, but he's much stronger this year and, when he won easily at Thirsk, we thought he would be up to running in Group 1 races. He has shown today he is good enough for those races between 10 and 12 furlongs. We might look at the [July 21] G1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S. for him."

Ceiling Kitty, introduced in a five-furlong maiden on Kempton's Polytrack Mar. 31, followed an encouraging second there with a disappointing fourth in another maiden on good-to-soft turf at Beverley Apr. 18. Veering left on that occasion, the bay returned to Kempton to open her account despite a troubled trip May 7, and there was no fluke about her subsequent convincing two-length score at 20-1 in York's Marygate S. 11 days later. As she had at Beverley, she hung across the track here, but was firmly in control this time, despite Hoyam=s eye-catching late progress. Her owner/breeder Andrew Black, who was the co-founder of Betfair, was thrilled afterwards. "This is my first proper homebred--I claimed the mother for ,17,000-- and I knew she was good, so I put half of her up on Betfair for a year as part of a competition," he Racing Post/Edward Whitaker explained.

Jersey S. cont. Creating another landmark in the remarkable family story of the O'Briens here, she quickly recovered from a bump exiting the stalls to race in mid-division before being moved up steadily out wide. Committed before the quarter pole by Seamie Heffernan, she hung tough in the clear as Sentaril and the favorite Aljamaaheer emerged from the pack. "It's absolutely incredible and I'd like to thank my dad who bought her at the sales for us," Anne-Marie O'Brien commented. "She was very impressive and showed a great turn of foot. There are lots of races to run all our fillies in and they all want slightly different trips--I think seven furlongs suited her perfectly today." Her husband added, "She had a very good run at The Curragh last time and is a smart filly who loves fast ground and shows plenty of speed." For Ballydoyle stalwart Seamie Heffernan, the win represented a landmark of his own as it was a first at the Royal meeting. "It was extremely straightforward," he said. "It takes her a while to loosen up, but once I got to the outside, she wanted to go. Aidan's can get better--I don't know what he does to them. They can be no good and then start improving. I'm getting experienced now, so I take everything in my stride but it's nice to have that on the CV." Trainer William Haggas was satisfied with the effort of the runner-up, who covered herself in glory after being settled far off the pace. "She ran very well, Johnny [Murtagh] thought they didn't go fast enough early so they didn't fan out as much as he'd have liked," Haggas told PA Sport.

Scramble begins to replace jockey Joel Rosario By Eric Sondheimer, latimes.com “Less than 24 hours after the announcement that top jockey Joel Rosario was leaving the Southern California circuit to head to the East Coast, the scramble has begun to take over his business. “All the agents and jockeys said they'd pitch in and help him get to the airport," jockey agent Scott McClellan said. And he wasn't joking. Rosario has won 11 riding titles in Southern California, including the recent Santa Anita meeting. His agent, Ron Ebanks, announced on Sunday that Rosario would be leaving to ride in New York on June 27.”

Flaw in PPG permits leads to bottleneck in buying horses ON THE RAILS, with Alan Aitken, racing.scmp.com “The annual issue of permits had us thinking about the ownership system and what is wrong with it. There is a flaw that has been gathering dust for, let's say, forever. If its properly adjusted, a change will give owners one more reason to be pleased with the all-powerful oversight of the Jockey Club. And the club itself will be doing something positive in the role in which it does see itself as the school prefect - improving the prospects of owners importing horses.”
