News
Alan King believes Trueshan is "back on track" following his Prix du Cadran success and says a bid for a fourth consecutive Long Distance Cup on Champions Day is next on the agenda for his popular stayer.
The seven-year-old powered to a four-length victory under Hollie Doyle at Longchamp on Saturday to provide connections with a third Group 1 triumph and could now attempt to repeat his achievement of 2021, when he followed up his Cadran win by defeating Coltrane at Ascot.
Newmarket racecourse is on standby to celebrate the possibility of Frankie Dettori reaching a landmark 500th win in the town if Inspiral justifies favouritism in the Group 1 Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Stakes (3.15 Newmarket) on Saturday. John and Thady Gosden's star filly is even money to record a fourth Group 1 win in the mile contest and is Dettori's only booked ride on the seven-race card.
Newmarket has a giant mural of the soon-to-retire rider on the side of the Head On stand at the Rowley Mile where Dettori registered his 499th win – a figure that includes the nearby July course – when steering the Gosden-trained Coppice home in the Listed Rosemary Stakes last Friday.
The big showdown of the sexes is officially on after Dermot Weld revealed to the Racing Post that his superstar filly Tahiyra will take on the prolific Paddington in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot in a blockbuster battle between the two best three-year-old milers in training, which the legendary trainer thinks could be the race of the season.
Jumps Competition
Will start on Friday 17 November, and a punter day out. Strings to be in by close of play Monday 13.
There is a big shake up in the fixture list, so some of the bonus races may be affected, and we will have to track this through the season. The main fixtures at Cheltenham , Kempton and Aintree are not affected, but some key races at other tracks are being moved, but I have not seen details yet
