Cox has Coppull booked for Prix Morny mission
Cox landed the Morny with Reckless Abandon in 2012 and a cross-Channel trip with the exciting son of Bated Breath would represent a 'well-trodden path' for the handler, who also saddled Golden Horde to finish third in the French Group One after winning the Richmond. 'He's in great form and we were very pleased that race took place before the rain fell at Goodwood,' said Cox, reflecting on his colt's Group Two success on what was a miserable afternoon subsequently interrupted by heavy rainfall and lightning. He started in the sunshine but finished in a storm 🌧️ Coventry Stakes 3rd Coppull stays on strongly up the stands' rail to land the G2 Richmond Stakes 🟥⬜️@davidprobert9 | @Qatar_Racing | @Goodwood_Races — Racing TV (@RacingTV) July 31, 2025 'I've been delighted with how he has come out of that and all being well he will head to the Prix Morny where he won't be penalised for his success, it's a well-trodden path. 'I would be very hopeful conditions remain dry and even though his sister has won on soft ground he has very much been at home on a quicker surface.' Coppull's two-length triumph over Aidan O'Brien's Puerto Rico confirmed the promise of his fine third in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and it is the form of that contest – with recent Phoenix Stakes scorer Power Blue behind in fifth – which is convincing Cox he has a smart juvenile on his hands. Connections were all smiles despite the weather at Goodwood (PA) 'His form was boosted again at the weekend by the Amo horse who was behind us at Ascot and I see no reason to be anything but pleased with the progress our horse is making,' continued Cox. 'He took the step up to Group Two in his stride and that has vindicated a further step up at this stage.' Among the Morny opposition is set to be the Wesley Ward-trained Outfielder, who is part-owned by MLB Hall of Famer Jayson Werth, who has recently played a starring roll in the Netflix series 'Race for the Crown'.
