[Eleanora Duse]

Wednesday

A double for Ulysses as Implore wins for Gosden at Beverley and Aeonian (25-1 !!!) wins for Stoute at Yarmouth
Ardad gets another winner with Eidikos for Bethel at Beverley.

Got a nagging feeling I've missed an El Kabeir winner

 

[Colin Phillips]

Harrow was a winner at Ffos Las on Aug. 3, El Kabeir's only other winner was in July.

Strange I missed that one as it's in my Balding competition 12.

 

[G-G]

Dam rated 63 so sire must be the business.

Having loved a mare that was persistently run on the wrong ground over the wrong distance, ratings are meaningless.

 

[G-G]

Also very annoyed by Hoiles' comment at the weekend with the stallion tables saying Ardad 'punching very much above his weight' .

[edgt]

Good Gimcrack winner for Mehmas again today.
Pat Dobbs full of praise for him.

Friday

Kempton: Golden Duke (Galileo Gold) for Tinkler
Salisbury: Pearl Glory (Cotai Glory) for Philippart dd Foy

 

[Colin Phillips]

I noticed that the sire HAVANA GOLD seemed to be doing rather well with his 2-y-os this season so I thought I'd have a closer look at his record.

2017 Bets 222 Wins 25 Strike rate 11.3 Win % return 71.9 Place strike rate 30.2

2018 136 - 12 - 8.8 - 58.4 - 22.8

2019 94 - 10 - 10.6 - 61.5 - 33.0

2020 81 - 0- 0 -0 - 19.8

2021 131 - 25 - 19.1 - 126.8 - 40.5

Surprising difference from last year to this. Has anyone any thoughts for the 'complete' turn around in fortunes? I've had a quick look to see if he had been moved to a different stud but no he is still at Tweenhills Farm where has stood from 2014.

Saturday

Chelmsford: Unfinishedsympathy (El Kabeir) for Spencer
Curragh: Agartha (Caravaggio) for JPOB
Lingfield: Nasim (Galileo Gold) for Balding
Sandown: Hamaki (Churchill) for Haggas

 

[Colin Phillips]

The top of the table:

COTAI GLORY 26 wins
ARDAD 20
PROFITABLE 19

The rest are at least 5 winners behind.

Sunday: Naas

Ernest Rutherford (Ardad) for O'Callaghan

 

[edgt]

Ardad also sired winner of Prix Morny, Perfect Power bred by Tally Ho Stud no less.
Thoughts of Ardad's demise premature on my part yet again.

 

[Eleanora Duse]

There was an article on Havana Gold pre-season on the Racing Post saying he was likely to have a better year. But I cannot locate it.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Interesting! They were right.

He's hardly having any runners. His winners to runners ratio is still very impressive.

 

[Eleanora Duse]

Think I've missed a Zelzal (Sea the Stars) winner as didn't recognise him as a FSS.
