Champion Stakes tomorrow
Published:Friday | October 14, 2011 | 12:00 AM
Today's racing takes place at Redcar, Cheltenham, Haydock and Wolverhampton. There is also simulcast racing from Belmont Park and Finger Lakes.
Tomorrow at Ascot, the big event is the Champion Stakes (Group I) over 10 furlongs in which six-time champion jockey Kieren Fallon rides the highly fancied DUBAI PRINCE for trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni and the Godolphin outfit.
The race, which will be run at Ascot for the first time instead of Newmarket, offers a total purse of £1.3 million with 17 declared.
DUBAI PRINCE can expect stiff opposition from the Aidan O'Brien-trained SO YOU THINK, who recently finished fourth in the Arc, as well as King George winner NATHANIEL from the John Gosden stable, and the Henry Cecil-trained TWICE OVER, who will be attempting to win the race for a third time.
Today at Haydock in the 19th race over five furlongs (2-y-o nursery), we like the look of hat-trick seeker MINCE, to be ridden by Simon Drowne for trainer Roger Charlton.
