Waardah far from certain to go to York

Waardah far from certain to go to York

Rhyl Journal5 days ago
The three-year-old daughter of Postponed stepped up to a mile and six furlongs for the first time with ease as she held off Danielle to secure the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood last week.
That success put her in the conversation for the Group One contest during the Ebor Festival at York, but the lack of cut in the ground has cast doubt over Waardah's participation.
However, the Farncombe Down trainer is unfazed at a potential three-month wait for her return at Ascot, if she does not get her preferred conditions.
'She's come out Goodwood well,' Burrows said. 'She's in the Yorkshire Oaks, that might come a bit quick to be honest and looking at the weather she does like to get her toe in a little bit.
'There's no significant rain anywhere through until the end of next week and I think the Fillies & Mares at Ascot is tailormade for her with near enough guaranteed soft ground, so I'll probably work my way back from that.
'If she's having to go straight there, then so be it. If we can get another one into her then great, that's a bonus.'

Dancing Gemini raring to go on Marois return

The son of Camelot won the Doncaster Mile on debut and followed up with a Group Two win in the bet365 Mile at Sandown under Rossa Ryan in late April. He was then narrowly denied when beaten only half a length by Lead Artist in the Lockinge, but that streak of smart performances came to an end when he could only finish eighth in a slowly-run renewal of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. The Marois, a Group One event run over a mile at Deauville on Sunday, is his next port of call, with Ryan taking the ride for the first time since Sandown. 'He's very well, we're really happy with him. The Prix Jacques le Marois is the plan now,' Teal said. 'The pace of the race at Ascot was a farce, really, and he probably had a tough enough race in the Lockinge and it took the edge off him. 'The pace was pretty disappointing for a Group One and it turned into a sprint at the end, it was probably a combination of a tough race in the Lockinge and then no pace. 'We've freshened him up now, Ascot was his fourth run of the year so he's had a busy time. 'It was nice to give him a little break after that, we've freshened him up and we'll hopefully regroup.'
