Bin Suroor is Alert to German chance for Tornado

Bin Suroor is Alert to German chance for Tornado

Leader Live13-07-2025
The Saeed bin Suroor-trained colt finished fourth in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before coming home a creditable sixth in the Derby.
He then headed to Ascot to contest the Group Three Hampton Court Stakes, where he dropped back to 10 furlongs to finish runner-up behind Aidan O'Brien's Trinity College.
His next port of call is the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis, known also as the Bayerisches Zuchtrennen, a Group One event run over a mile and a quarter and a race Bin Suroor has enjoyed success in before as Kutub won it in 2001 and Benbatl prevailed in 2018.
'He is doing very well, he worked on Tuesday,' the trainer said of Tornado Alert.
'The plan is to run him in Germany at the end of the month.
'The race is on the 27th at Munich, the Grosser Dallmayr-Preis.
'It's over a mile and a quarter, which is his trip. He's been in really good form.'

John Eustace hails Derby's effort after they knock out West Brom

John Eustace praised his Derby side for sticking at their task and edging out Championship rivals West Brom on penalties in the Carabao Cup. Joe Ward's strike six minutes into added time took the first round to penalties, before Josh Vickers kept out two of Albion's spot-kicks to help the Rams to a 3-2 shoot-out win. Eustace said: 'I'm really proud of the effort of the group. 'It was fantastic for the lads who got minutes in the legs and academy players, they kept going and stuck there in the difficult moments. 'No matter who plays we get 100 per cent from them and I was very proud of them. 'It was outstanding from Josh. He was fantastic last season, he never let us down. 'We looked at penalties before with Keith Downing (assistant). He has great experience in tournaments with England and it certainly helped tonight.' Albion boss Ryan Mason believes his side did more than enough to win the game in normal time, having led through Aune Heggebo's 67th-minute goal. He added: 'The nature of it and the timing of the goal was disappointing. 'It was their first shot on target and we played well, we thoroughly deserved to go through – but football can be harsh sometimes. 'It was a good performance, we deserved to win. Their keeper pulled off three or four good saves. 'We could have gone 2-0 up but it didn't happen. But we weren't in danger, they didn't create a thing all night, to be honest. 'It is frustrating, disappointing, but that happens.'

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.'
