Preview Of August's UK Horse Racing

 If Wimbledon in June means strawberries and also cream, then competing in August can only represent Goodwood and York, 2 front runner festival conferences that dominate the month's action starting with five interesting days on the Sussex slopes. 

As popular as ever, Remarkable Goodwood provides some top-class activity as well as is frequently a meeting that puts revenues in punters' pockets. The Gordon Stakes on the component's opening day, August 1, has actually long been recognized as a typical for the St Leger later next month, as well as the message below is a clear one: pay specific hearken to whatever Sir Michael Stoute runs in the mile as well as half competition. This year's Stoute representative might well be just one of the yard's far better three-year-olds. 

The Group 1 Sussex Stakes on August 2 hosts the conference's customary clash in between the milers of the various generations and instructor Jeremy Noseda holds strong leads of following up in 2015's success with Proclamation when he sends Araafa, his very easy champion of the St James's Royal residence Stakes at Royal Ascot. An excellent go for the Royal conference is the usual stepping-stone to Sussex success as Araafa is likely to be extremely hard to beat.

Thursday's activity on August 3 sees the stayers take centre phase in the Goodwood Mug and local trainer Amanda Perrett will certainly be wishing that her clever older steed Tungsten Strike can build on numerous valuable initiatives this period. Regretfully last year's champion Distinction has actually been compelled to miss this race through injury and also the chances are that in an inadequate year for stayers, the pattern competition will not take that much winning. Look out too for whatever trainer Mark Johnston makes a decision to run; five victors in the past ten years has gained him an impressive record in this two-mile competition. 

On the very same day as the Goodwood Cup, the fast juveniles can layer their trade in the five-furlong Molecomb Risks as well as the one to view here is the double Windsor Castle and also Super Sprint hero, the distinctly active Elhamri, that will surely take some capturing as he pilots on the Sussex Downs. 

Friday's activity on August 4 brings the period's leading mile handicappers forward with yet an additional highly competitive operation of the Totesport Mile. A high draw is important to any kind of chance of success and also whatever you do below, it is ideal not to bet until the overnight declarations have actually been made as well as the draw is known. 

The ultra-progressive Sir Gerard heads the marketplace and also holds solid cases while Easy Air, that finished just behind the former in a classy revival of Royal Ascot's Britannia Risks, is one more who must go well on the moving downland course where finishing speed is constantly a vital possession in determining the week's handicap champions.

Friday's Richmond Risks is among the week's pivotal adolescent events and backers require look no more than Paul Cole's remarkable Newmarket champion Strategic Prince, if he takes his opportunity while the Oak Tree Stakes on the exact same day sees Red Evie and also Makderah lock horns once again after completing initial and also third in a similar event at the Royal meeting. 

Goodwood's last day on August 5 puts the fillies in the spotlight thanks to the Group1 Nassau Stakes, and also this time around the older fillies may well call the tune with Ouija Board, Red Flower as well as in 2014's simple winner, Alexander Goldrun, ready to do battle. Anticipating the end result won't be very easy yet if the former shows up in the type she revealed to land a Group1 at Royal Ascot then she'll be hard to beat. 

Present Equine was a last-gasp winner of the Stewards' Mug twelve months ago and also one year on it might once more pay to consider horses that have actually run well in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot and also seeking that line of thought brings Firenze, Borderlescott and Intrepid Jack into the picture as well as it would certainly be no surprise to see the champion emerge from that remarkable triad. The previous has gotten on fire this season and has turned into a much-improved and awesome opponent in sprint handicaps.

Completion of Glorious Goodwood signals a time-out in process before the three day Ebor event starts at York later on in the month, as well as lots of serious auto racing fans relax between Goodwood and also York. On August 12, Haydock phases the Rose Of Lancaster Risks and this Team 3 competition over a mile as well as a quarter can in some cases regurgitate a useful victor. Mutamam took the race in 1998 and Nayef landed the spoils for Marcus Tregoning in 2001, highlighting the latter's penalty document in the race and the domination of the event by three-year-olds. 

On August 19 Newbury hosted the Team 3 Hungerford Risks and the message here is to side with the very first three in the betting. This isn't a race for outsiders while over at Ripon the 'Garden' course stages the Wonderful St Wilfrid Handicap, one of the season's most affordable sprint handicaps. A high draw is essential as well as a current success or seem situated initiative is commonly on the c.v, of the eventual winner. 

The Group1 Juddmonte International establishes matters on their means on August 22, the opening day of York's amazing three-day Ebor festival and also this is not a race for outsiders. Wanted steeds frequently succeed as well as no champion of this race given that 1994 has begun at bigger chances than 6-1. Brian Meehan's David Junior makes certain to be amongst the market leaders and also might be the one to defeat while Jeremy Noseda hasn't eliminated tackling this race with ace miler, Araafa.

The Team 2 Great St Voltigeur Risks over a mile and also a half for 3 year olds on August 22 is the period's essential trial for the St Leger and also six recent victors of the final standard have competed in the York masterpiece. Once More Sir Michael Stoute is the man to watch as well as his decision to target Papal Bull at this reward suggests that the latter may well be the lawn's top Leger candidate. 

The Tote Ebor on August 23 is often a race for an enhancing young horse that hasn't been strained with a huge weight as well as Luca Cumani, that has won the race a number of times in current years, may have a likely type in Glimmering while in the Yorkshire Oaks over a mile and a fifty percent there will be just one victory if the imperious Alexandrova takes her put on the Knavesmire. 

York's last day on August 24 might well see another Irish victory in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Risks over 5 furlongs when Ireland's leading two speedsters, Dandy Male and Osterhase go head to head with preference for the former that has looked superior from time to time this term and beat the last fair and square at the Curragh in July.
