Ghostwriter makes £2million Amo Racing transfer
Amo Racing strengthened their potential Royal Ascot hand when paying £2million to add Hardwicke Stakes entry Ghostwriter to their team. The four-year-old won the Group Two Royal Lodge Stakes as a juvenile and while he failed to get his head in front for owner Jeff Smith and trainer Clive Cox last term, he turned in a string of fine efforts in top company, including third-placed runs in the both the Eclipse and Juddmonte International. Ghostwriter finished fourth in the Dubai Turf back in April and could step up to a mile and a half for the first time in Saturday's Group Two in the colours of Kia Joorabchian's Amo Racing outfit after changing hands at the Goffs London Sale. Speaking at Kensington Palace Gardens, where the sale was held, Joorabchian told Nick Luck Daily: 'To be honest, my son picked him out a little while ago and he was like 'we've got to buy this'. He's third favourite for the Hardwicke and I think he's got a chance to go up to Group One level, so we'll see.' When asked if the Invincible Spirit colt will stay in training with Cox, Joorabchian added: 'I don't know Clive Cox but I'm sure we will meet him and we'll see. 'At the moment I'm not buying horses to stay, I'm buying them to hopefully go into our own yard but this one, I don't know yet because he's done a good job with him so we will have a chat, Alex (Elliott, bloodstock agent) knows him a little bit better so I'll get to meet him and see what we do after that.' Amo's name also appeared in conjunction with Nick Bell after Tycoon sold for £600,000. The three-year-old has won one of his three starts for John and Thady Gosden, most recently placing third in Listed company, and he is entered in Thursday's Hampton Court Stakes. The Andrew Balding-trained Tropical Storm, winner of the Westow Stakes last time and declared for Tuesday's King Charles III Stakes, sold to Oliver St Lawrence Bloodstock for £500,000, while Resolute Bloodstock paid £625,000 for Jersey Stakes contender Woodshauna, who was a Group Three winner last time out for Francis-Henri Graffard.

Bob MacIntyre puts sore losers to shame with classy response to US Open heartache
So much for Justin Rose being a shoo-in for golf's 'most gracious loser of the year' award. At the very least, Bob MacIntyre has provided some enriching competition for his Ryder Cup partner with his own classy response to agonising defeat at the US Open on Sunday night. In an era in which the entitlement of the multi-millionaire pros continues to reach shameless and unprecedented heights, the game surely owes the British duo a debt for their well-timed sportsmanship. While Rose hugged and congratulated Rory McIlroy after watching the world No 2 hole the putt to beat him in the Masters play-off, MacIntyre provided his own lesson in succumbing with honour. Unlike certain runners-up of recent US Open vintage who screeched out of the car park moments after their fate was confirmed, MacIntyre, the 28-year-old from Oban, hung around the Oakmont clubhouse to shake the hand of JJ Spaun. The American appreciated the gesture, calling MacIntyre 'a great guy and a great player', but his admiration only multiplied when shown the clip of his reaction when Spaun pulled off his grandstand moment. MacIntyre had finished more than half an hour before, coming back from an overnight seven-shot deficit to take the clubhouse lead on one-over. As a mark of his quality in a storm-delayed final round blighted by a course covered in puddles, MacIntyre was the only player who started the day in the top 20 who broke 70, with a 68. Spaun was also on one-over as he stepped on to the penultimate teebox. At this stage, many wondered why MacIntyre had not headed directly to the range to stay loose for a play-off. But with the light fading, he had been told by officials that if it did go to two extra holes, they would be held over to Monday. So MacIntyre took a seat in the clubhouse and watched the denouement on television. He first saw Tyrrell Hatton bogey the 17th and 18th to lose his chance – the Englishman eventually finished with a share of fourth before labelling the course set-up as 'unfair' – and then looked on as Spaun birdied the 17th after a brilliant drive on to the green. One ahead, Spaun was 65 feet away from the hole on the 18th in two and in three-putt territory. There was still hope for MacIntyre. But then, Spaun holed out for an outrageous birdie and a two-shot victory and as his putter disappeared into the air and the tears poured down his face, the coverage switched to the vanquished. Except MacIntyre was not sitting there with his head in his hands, he was applauding, with a huge smile and exclaiming 'Wow!' Later, MacIntyre explained his response. 'J J won the golf tournament,' he said. 'He's dreamed of it. Everyone's dreamed of that moment. For him to pour in the winning putt, I mean, nothing I can do. Fair play. I'm happy for him.' @golfoncbs Incredible sportsmanship from runner-up Robert MacIntyre #golf #golftiktok #usopen ♬ original sound - Golf on CBS MacIntyre seemed bemused about the praise for simply behaving in what he considered to be an entirely natural fashion. Rose felt the same after Augusta. But in a week in which we witnessed McIlroy throwing clubs and smashing tee-boxes and of first blanking the media before consenting to talk and declaring ' I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do, yeah', the injection of humility was much welcome. Up to a career-high 12th in the world, MacIntyre must be one of the favourites for next month's Open at Royal Portrush, the Ulster links where he finished sixth on his major debut six years ago. 'There's no reason why I can't win a major championship,' he said. 'I thought I had this one, but, yeah, it's about majors. That's my goal now.'
