Golden Eagle swoop in the pipeline for globetrotting Luther
Charlie Fellowes' star Luther is set to add another destination to his global-trotting Pattern quest with the Golden Eagle in Sydney. The three-year-old Frankel colt celebrated victory, albeit through the stewards' room, in the Grade Two National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes at Saratoga in America on Friday, which came just four weeks after taking place honours in the Belmont Derby at the same venue. Now, the Bedford House handler is seeking to emulate the success of the William Haggas-trained Lake Forest at Rosehill in Australia, following a stint back at home and a potential run in the Group Two Park Stakes at Doncaster on St Leger day. 'He couldn't have taken it any better,' Fellowes said on Wednesday. 'He's on his way home and will be back tonight. Really proud of him. 'He ran third in a Grade One over there and the form's worked out really well. The first and second in the Belmont Derby were first and third in the Saratoga Derby, so that form looks strong and he beat some good European horses in the process. 'Then we went and won, slightly controversially, but I think anyone watching that race saw how messy it was and I think if we had a relatively smooth trip it would have been a really, really good race between us and probably the best turf three-year-old horse in America (Zulu Kingdom). 'He's coming home, but at the moment, the potential plan is to head to the Golden Eagle down in Sydney. It's a A$10million (£4.89m) race, seven and a half furlongs, he has so much speed, I've got no problem with the seven and a half with him. 'His part-owner lives in Singapore so that makes sense, so that's very much our end-of-season target. He's probably done enough now to get a slot in that race. 'Whether he has a run here before then as a little prep run, not quite sure yet. I put him in the Park Stakes at Doncaster, so that could be a goer.' Shes Perfect is another leading light in the Fellowes yard. However, the Sioux Nation filly – who unfortunately for her connections suffered contrasting fortunes in the stewards' room when relegated from first place in the French 1,000 Guineas – will not be seen again until next year. Fellowes said: 'She's absolutely good as gold, but she's finished for the year. 'She's sound, which is the most important thing, but X-rays we took last week showed a definite small weakness in her right-hind fetlock which just needs a little bit of time to heal and the vets were concerned that if we pressed on, something a bit more significant could happen. 'It sounds very positive, it just needs time and they are very positive that she'll be back next season where hopefully she can bag the Group One that she so deserves. 'It was just too risky. She's had a long season anyway, she would probably have only had two more races I'd have thought. 'We've not missed out on loads, I'm gutted that we are not running in a Foret because that race would have absolutely suited her, but maybe that will wait until next year. 'She's a lovely big filly, she's only going to improve with age so next year should be great for her.'

As winter temperatures blast through Australia, shoppers are reaching for all kinds of cold-weather essentials. In addition to electric blankets, throws and heaters, there's one other home hack that helps to minimise the chill indoors; rugs.

Now that it's in place, I don't know why it took me so long to take the plunge. Incredibly soft underfoot, it's made the room feel noticeably warmer and added a cosy feel. Best yet — it's washable and foldable, with a built-in underlay to keep it firmly in place.

Modern and fun, it's made from a plush 8mm pile of ultra-soft polyester fibres. 3. Pella Cream and Grey Textured Flatweave Rug, from $249 Calling those with coastal-themed homes, a natural coloured rug in cream, grey or light blue tones will match your decor perfectly. If these colours sound perfect for you and your home, then the Pella Cream and Grey Textured Flatweave Rug is a rich-looking addition to a cosy reading nook or bedside. 4. Lupe Terracotta Handwoven PET Rug, from $599 Crafted from recycled PET, the Lupe Terracotta Rug is part of Miss Amara's sustainable range. Finished with a smooth and lustrous look, this bold saturated orange brown colour is the ultimate colour splash for a room of any size. Warm and earthy, you could even pair this rich shade with greens, blues and a pop of light pink. 5. Alek Cream Handwoven PET Round Rug, from $299 Miss Amara is also home to round-shaped rugs that are a match made in heaven for circle coffee or dining tables.

Hurricane bidding to give Johnson Houghton change of fortune in Super Sprint
The Havana Gold colt provided his trainer with a second victory in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, following in the hoofprints of her 2021 winner Chipotle. The latter was beaten into ninth place as a 15-8 favourite for the Super Sprint, however, and Havana Hurricane could well be even shorter odds for this year's renewal of the £250,000 contest. A dream come true for the owners ❤️ Havana Hurricane STORMS late to win the Windsor Castle Stakes 🏆#RoyalAscot | @Ascot — ITV Racing (@itvracing) June 18, 2025 'He is in great form, all he does is eat and sleep at home. We gave him a bit of work on Wednesday morning, he went very nicely and hopefully he is ripped and ready to go,' said Johnson Houghton 'I always thought he had an engine, but I wasn't sure it was quite as good as the engine he has produced.' The Didcot handler had the option of saving Havana Hurricane for Pattern events later in the summer, but she admits the lure of the huge prize-money on offer this weekend was too much to resist. Trainer Eve Johnson Houghton has high hopes for Havana Hurricane (John Walton/PA) She added: 'It's a lot of money. It's a race I've already wanted to win but I've been incredibly unlucky in it. Chipotle got wiped out when I thought he should have won it. 'The unluckiness rather put me off, but I've always wanted to win it and I think we have a horse here that if he doesn't get bad luck, he should be there or thereabouts. 'There are horses in there who are having to give him weight despite being rated inferior, so it's good conditions for him.' Rod Millman has saddled two previous Super Sprint winners in Lord Kintyre (1997) and Bettys Hope (2019) and has unearthed another major contender in Anthelia, who has already proved a shrewd purchase for owners Middleham Park Racing, having won her first three starts after being purchased for just £6,000 as a yearling last summer. Anthelia (left) winning at Sandown (Adam Davy/PA) She met with defeat for the first time when fifth in the Listed Empress Stakes at Newmarket three weeks ago, but looks to have every chance back in sales race company. Millman said: 'I thought she ran a sound race at Newmarket, giving them all 3lb. 'Five or six (furlongs) is fine, I think she's pretty versatile really. She definitely stays six. 'She's probably the classiest horse we've ever run in it and it's been a very lucky race for us. We've won it a couple of times and been second a few times, so let's hope luck's on our side again.' Ali Shuffle (right) on her way to victory at Chester (Nick Potts/PA) The Karl Burke-trained Ali Shuffle also won her first three races and was only narrowly denied the four-timer in a Group Three at Chantilly last month. She was disappointing on her latest visit to France, finishing fifth as a hot favourite for a Listed event at Deauville, but Burke feels she was not at her best that day, saying: 'We think she was in season in France, so we're putting that down as an excuse. 'She's worked well this week and goes there with some sort of chance, but it's a bit of a lottery race. 'She's in good order and it's worth a go for that sort of money.' Other hopefuls include Richard Hughes' Windsor winner Our Cody and Cotai Belle, who has won her last two starts for Richard Fahey.
