News
William Haggas put his likely team for Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday week through their paces on the Limekilns in Newmarket on Thursday morning headed by Champion Stakes favourite Economics. The Irish Champion Stakes hero was ridden by his usual partner Cieren Fallon in a mile workout on the round gallop with two older stablemates and came through on the bridle at the business end to finish on top. Haggas said: "Economics is in good shape and is right where we want him at the present time. He's the biggest name on our card for Ascot at least and we couldn't be happier with him."
