Tommorrow, the Coronation Cup, Caravaggio brings an unbeaten record and a huge
reputation to what many regard as the race of the week. An impressive winner of
the Coventry Stakes a year ago, the son of Scat Daddy went on to land the
Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh, although it was unquestionably a below
standard renewal of that Group 1 event.
Aiden O'Brien told the
punter : "Caravaggio has tremendous speed and is probably the fastest
horse we've had. We've been very happy with him since his Naas win and he's
very well. This will be a step up for him in terms of class, but the ground
will be ideal for him and the trip will suit.
Limato and The
Tin Man star in a 19-strong field declared for the Diamond Jubilee
Stakes at Royal Ascot on Saturday.
Trainer Henry Candy won the Group One
prize with Twilight Son 12 months ago and this year sends Limato into battle
from a high draw in stall 15.
The five-year-old struck at the
highest level in the July Cup and the Prix de la Foret last season and is
strongly fancied to bounce back from a disappointing run in Dubai.
James Fanshawe also knows what it
takes to win the race, having struck gold in 2011 with Society Rock, and The
Tin Man is a major contender for the trainer this year.
The Equiano gelding won the British
Champions Sprint over the course and distance last October and can be expected
to improve from his comeback run when fifth in the Duke of York Stakes.
He is drawn on the other side of the
track in stall three.
Other leading hopes for the home team
include the Charlie Hills-trained Magical Memory
