Tuesday’s G1 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup was as engaging from start to finish as it promised, in the end Kyprios (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) won first Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in a thrilling finale. Sent forward from halftime by Ryan Moore to give his two major rivals their target race in third place overall, it was Ballydoyle’s June 16 G1 Gold Cup hero. first commits straight to his original mission of seeing off last year’s title holder Trueshan (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}) in the middle of the road. Given that record, it was no small matter of taking the award against four-time Goodwood Cup winners Bjorn Nielsen, who were racing toward the number line a few feet away from the favorites 6-4.
Approaching close enough and near the end to really eyeball that iconic player, Kyprios has shown the steel to generate the odds of winning in one of the great Cup races that are sure to fill the competition. chat for a while. Trueshan, who was brought into the mix by Alan King et al., runs with excellent credibility on the tight side, 1 1/4 short in length compared to the third. “It’s only his eighth start and he’s still learning a bit,” Moore said. “He’s still very good, but he has a lot of speed and always gives you the feeling that there’s more to it.”

This is one of the results that justifies all the hype before, with Stradivarius showing all the right signals before, during and after the competition where he went home better than he was for a while. . Seeking all the world like the horse we all know well before fortune conspired against him, he has brought new hope to continue his stellar career. Kyprios examined the new supremo in Ascot and confirmed that impression, suggesting he could forge and chase the tally of the former great Yeats (Ire) of the stables. Trueshan finally gets a chance to demonstrate how he can operate on a non-slow surface and leave no one down, while even Coltrane (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) briefly threatened to collect private function before accepting a small modesty in fourth place.
Kyprios, whose formative months were a jumble of promise sure to manifest in Ireland and completely anti-climax in attacks to Britain, faced a potential backstop at the earliest. was G2 Queen’s Vase last year when he went under the counter and injured his back. . More or less unknown outside of Rosegreen at the time, his ascent to these heights has been dizzying since entering the fray winning the Navan S listed classic crop. Day 23 April. Levmoss S. at Leopardstown May 13, he had to fight in the Gold Cup during the Royal Meeting but with Stradivarius seriously ill there, he had to do it again to confirm his new condition. mine.
Moore was keen to lead him early and with Thunderous (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) and Nate The Great (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) helping him take the lead, things were set up perfectly for him. color Moyglare – The person’s side has Stradivarius, Trueshan and Coltrane in a row right behind. Andrea Atzeni was still watching as Hollie Doyle allowed Trueshan to dash forward as he descended, which caused Moore to begin the process of acclimatizing Kyprios and for a short period of time Stradivarius was trapped in his pocket before receiving it. get a bump from wandering Danger. Undeterred, the blood of the legendary Gosdens emerged as he made his familiar powerful attempt to usurp Trueshan as the main challenger of the favorite in the final match and in a few steps, it looks as if it were enough for a fairy tale. Just in the dying yards, it was clear that Kyprios bounced it back with the race almost slipping out of his hands in one of the great finishes at this revered meeting.
“It went how we thought it would, but even here they’re a bit more consistent than I would have liked,” added Moore. “They didn’t go as slow as in Ascot where he started slow and I ended up going a little further back than I would have liked, but he has a great attitude. He beat the stay two very well today and Wednesday was a horse going somewhere, so it’s probably as good a Goodwood Trophy as you see it. Aidan always compliments him in the Spring and he’s doing everything right now – I like to think there are better days ahead. “
Aidan O’Brien has demeaned himself in terms of dramatic events. “He’s a lazy horse, so our only worry is that Stradivarius is getting a little further away from him – he likes a fight,” he said. “He’s always been very professional and doesn’t waste fuel at any stage – he just uses what you want and he’s been winning on all surfaces, so he’s a horse to take advantage of. enjoy. He probably won’t have a problem going back a mile and a half – his work earlier this year meant we almost started him at a mile and a half, which is the kind of quality he has. yes. “
“We thought he was our Leger horse last year and what happened at Ascot was one of those things. He’s never done it before and he has bruises on his back and it hurts a lot. I think he’s very good – he won the Gold Cup and the Goodwood Cup at the age of four and it was a big call. He’s a fresh horse, races light, doesn’t run many miles on the clock and he has the best mind you can ever relate to. He has a lot of classes and he was right at the beginning. Stradivarius is a fine horse – John has done his job brilliantly and it’s great that they compete in these races. The plan from here is to go to Irish St Leger. “
John Gosden believes the runner-up is at least partially harmed by being away from the winner. “He was a bit stuck and came forward a little earlier than ideal and was idling in front, but it was a great run,” he said. “He gets around great, but I would have liked it better if he had something to race with. That’s the way it was and he stepped into the victor’s ring and started screaming, so he wasn’t stressed. As long as he enjoys racing and training, and I’m the one who’ll let Mr. Nielsen know when he’s not, there’s no reason to stop – it’s all just the horse telling us. He’s been here a long time and has always run brave races. He reminds me of great jumping horses like the Desert Orchid – here he is, still fighting the youth brigade now. “
Hollie Doyle said of Trueshan, “He ran a solid race and he was the better horse on heavy ground, but I can’t blame the ground today.”
