Deauville repeat firmly on the radar for Lazzat
Royal Ascot sprint star Lazzat is pencilled in to make his next start on home turf, as the Prix Maurice de Gheest beckons again. The gelded four-year-old, who is trained in France by Jerome Reynier and owned by Wathnan Racing, was an excellent winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes on his first start for new connections. His next port of call is likely to be the Deauville feature, a Group One he won by an impressive three lengths last season. 'We were delighted with him at Ascot, that was a very serious performance,' said Richard Brown, racing manager to Wathnan. 'He probably had a hard enough race, they always do at that level, so we said we'd give him a bit of a chance to give him a bit of a wind down and then wind him back up again. 'His next run will be in the Prix Maurice de Gheest and Jerome's delighted with him, he came out of the race very well. 'We could have brought him back quicker if we'd wanted to, but we just thought we'd give him the chance now to be a fresh horse going into the autumn. 'We want to look after him, he's a multiple Group One winner and he's clearly a very high-class animal. 'We'll race him with his long-term future in mind and hope he can be around for the next few years.'

Rage Of Bamby is 33-1 winner of Hackwood Stakes
The winner of a Listed affair at Newmarket in October, Eve Johnson Houghton's charge was well adrift of her best in her first two starts of this season, but was back to something like when not beaten far when sixth in a Group Three at York last weekend. Despite that she looked to have it to do in a strong renewal at the same level, but was in the firing line from the off as she raced slightly away from the others on the near side of the pack, and while Regional and the gambled-on King's Gamble looked like they would battle it out, Charlie Bishop had lots of horse underneath him and swept past to score by a length and three-quarters over King's Gamble. Johnson Houghton said: 'We always had faith she would win a Group race, but that faith has been tested somewhat this year. 'She ran really well at York last time when possibly I had left her a bit short. I know it was a bit quick to run her back and it looked a Group One in all but name – I wasn't expecting her to win, (but) I did think she would run a big race. On her day she is really good.' For the winning syndicate Hot To Trot Racing it was a 100th winner since their formation, with members now able to dream of bigger days later in the season before the five-year-old bows out at the conclusion of the campaign. Racing manager Sam Hoskins added: 'We've been going since 2012 and it's our 100th winner so to do it in a Group Three is really, really special. We have 80 members in the syndicate and it is just brilliant. 'Eve has always thought so much of her and it was quite a big decision for us to enter her in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. 'But when she finished out the back of the television at York in the (1895) Duke of York (Stakes) it was really disappointing and she ran the same at Haydock the next time and she was almost borderline retirement. Because we lease the filly, it was a big decision for the breeder to keep her in training this year and we were feeling rather low. 'She has nothing to lose now as she will go off to stud at the end of the year, so she could maybe head to Haydock for the Sprint Cup or something, we've got to have a go. 'We'll enjoy today first and we're over the moon, it shows you have to always have a go, but I don't think we saw this coming.'
