Hollie Doyle Blog: Sky Sports Racing Ambassador Chases Team Glory at Newmarket Before Bidding for Goffs Million | Racing news

Sky Sports Racing ambassador Hollie Doyle will have a busy Friday at Newmarket before once again resuming her ride ahead of the card on Saturday at Curragh.

Joel sets out a logical step to improve Tempus

Group two Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Joel Stakes (3.35) at Newmarket on Friday is a logical stepping stone to the progressive man of Archie Watson Tempus.

He simply excelled in Group Three’s consecutive wins last month, first at Salisbury and then defying a penalty in France, and is ready for this step up. I rode Hambleton Racing’s car to a great run in Lamborn last week getting ready for a race where he was beyond his capabilities.

The one we may have to beat is Sir Michael Stoute’s Potapova, who was also promoted after winning the Atalanta Stakes Third Group at Sandown in August but still looks more capable and enjoys support. level from the players.

It’s a step-by-step, but if everything goes according to plan, Tempus will target Group One Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in Ascot on Championship Day next month.

Shooting passion for listed glory

I look forward to coming back too Passion and glory in the list Shares of Al Basti Equiworld Godolphin (4.45) at Newmarket on Friday.

I won a Sandown-listed Gala Share on Saeed Bin Suroor’s six-year-old son in Cape Cross in July, so I know what he’s capable of on his day.

He wasn’t in top form in the Lancaster Stakes Three Roses at Haydock Park last time around but he didn’t win at that level, so a little lower vision could work in his favor. that.

Harmony can beat her big odds

Sweet melody among the outsiders in Group Two Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Rockfel Stakes (3.00) but worthy of her place in an open innovation.

Richard Spencer’s laziness hasn’t done much wrong, showing promise on his Ascot debut before making his mark as a Yarmouth teenager and going a long way at Lowther in York last month.

She’s a lovely chubby that I’ve ridden at home and while there’s another crack at Group company with the official 89 mark leaving her with plenty to find, stepping up to seven grips Definitely in her favor.

I also cooperate Gray ghost for Richard and owner Phil Cunningham in Bet Al Basti Equiworld Dubai (5.20). He is a horse that needs to stand out but has not had the luxury of an easy lead since winning at Yarmouth in April. His first catch should train him so I hope to have a better run.

Jane Chapple-Hyam’s Cash register made his third racecourse appear in Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Limited UK EBF Investment Shares (4.10) and while his future appears to be on the horizon, stepping up to seven stretches will see him build on his latest run at Pontefract.

Hope Monster can pass the Irish test

Two-year-old Archie Watson He is a monster really impressed me when he made his winning debut on the All-Weather at Chelmsford City earlier this month and put his potential to the test in Goffs Million (3,20) at The Curragh on Saturday.

No Nay Never’s son is a big, heavy horse and still pretty out of date but he surprised me in the All-Weather beginner event.

A big pitch on grass presents a markedly different test but at least we’ll get a gauge of how far he’s progressing next season in the race for well-deserved bonuses. .

Eddie stars in the international double

Spending last weekend in France and Sweden was quite a logistical challenge but to go to a winner in both countries made the long journeys and delayed flights well worth it. .

Eddie’s Boy is the star of the show, having won the Group Three Prix Eclipse more than six races long at Chantilly last Saturday. He is a tough pony who does nothing but improve and is a real credit to his owner, Middleham Park Racing.

He was one of Archie (Watson’s) earliest two-year-olds, making his mark on his Southwell debut in April before finishing third in the Royal Ascot-listed Windsor Castle shares and won the Super Sprint at Newbury. Not bad for a 45,000gns purchase!

Sweden the next day was a bitter experience. I was beaten by narrowest margin on Hambleton Racing’s Globetrotter Outbox in the Stockholm Cup – the race he finished in second place closest to last year – but their juvenile Manitou’s success in a seven-time qualifying race let me down.
