Dr Jim Walker’s colorist, who has successively won the G1 Prix Royal-Oak, the G2 Dubai Gold Cup and the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in 2020/2021, has made his first game back from the break. competed due to injury at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh on Saturday, although he ran out of place.
“Of course I was hoping he would run better than him,” said the Middleham tennis player. “But with the way the race went, he was clearly very, very fresh after such a long break and that was further accentuated by the fact that Joe [Fanning] had to light him up a bit to get him through that draw. Once he’s ignited, there’s no turning back.”
All 6-year-olds are likely to attend the G2 Dubai Gold Cup on March 25 or closer to home at G3 Sagaro S. this spring.
Johnston added, “They originally planned to fly back tomorrow [Wednesday] but that has now been delayed until Friday, so he won’t be home until then.
“He seems fine right now. We’ll handle things better once he gets home, but early signs are good, so at least that’s promising.
“This delay makes things worse with only four weeks between Saudi Arabia and Dubai and now, with the time it takes to bring him home and the time he needs to leave before the match. racing at Meydan, he will only be back here in two weeks, so that will obviously have to be taken into account.
“If he doesn’t go to Dubai, then something like Sagaro seems like the obvious next harbor for him, but we’ll wait and see the horse when he gets home and talks to Dr. Plan from there.”
