  • 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.

  • Welcome to the June 2015 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the June 2015 edition of the Donn McClean Racing Newsletter. Royal Ascot review Where to start with a review of Royal Ascot? There were some outstanding equine performances, like Solow’s in the Queen Anne Stakes, Time Test’s in the Tercentenary Stakes and Muhaarar’s in the Commonwealth Cup. And there was extraordinary human endeavour. Just about every single horse that Aidan O’Brien ran put up a performance that either surpassed or equalled its best previous performance. The champion trainer had five winners, and if the ball had hopped a little differently, he could have had six or seven. Ryan Moore had nine, more than any other rider in the post-war era. Moore has set the bar high, and he continues to raise it higher and higher. If there is such a thing as the best flat rider in the world, then Ryan Moore is it. There were other equine performances that might have been better than the bare form suggests, and which therefore may provide betting angles for the future. Bronze Angel did well to finish as close as he did in the Royal Hunt Cup given that he raced prominently from early in a race that was run to suit the hold-up horses, as the Royal Hunt Cup usually is. The Corsican made eye-catching ground from the rear in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes in a race in which the early pace held up well. Udododontu went for home very early in the Britannia, his turn of foot deployed just a little early in a race run over a stiff straight mile for a horse whose optimum trip is probably seven and a half furlongs.
