CHASEMORE FARM HENRY II STAKES (G3)

The sparkling Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (G1) winner Ace Impact was crowned Horse of the Year at the 2023 Cartier Racing Awards Nov. 9 at a glittering ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel in London. Who knows for sure if it was Frankie Dettori's last time riding at Ascot, let alone in Britain, but listening to the crowd roar their favorite home aboard Trawlerman in the British Champions Long Distance Cup (G1) it was clear no one cared.  Forget Frankel, it is only Trueshan who has recorded three victories at flat racing's season-ending showstopper since its 2011 creation but a fantastic fourth, in the British Champions Long Distance Cup (G2), could be his biggest challenge yet. With the form of several rivals questionable, it appears to be a straight duel between top stayers Trueshan and Emily Dickinson in the Sept. 30 Prix du Cadran (G1). After securing what most believed would be his farewell victory at York aboard Kinross earlier on the program, it was improbable Frankie Dettori would bow out with a win in the £500,000 Ebor, annually the richest flat handicap in Europe. The Hugo Palmer-trained Rajinsky, who returned at 16-1, repelled the persistent challenge of the favorite to score by half a length under top apprentice Harry Davies. The catalog for the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up and Horses in Training Sale has been released, with 201 breeze-up 2-year-olds and 154 horses in training set to go under the hammer at Park Paddocks May 3-4.  Trueshan roared back to form to grab a slice of British Champions Day history with a tenacious success in the Long Distance Cup (G2). Trueshan will need to be right back to his best to win what looks like a stellar running of the Oct. 15 British Champions Long Distance Cup (G2) at Ascot Racecourse. With the absence of top stayers Stradivarius and Trueshan, Quickthorn passed the post a remarkable 14 lengths clear of Coltrane, who short-headed Reshoun for second in the Aug. 19 Lonsdale Cup (G2) at York. The roof will probably come off the County Stand if Stradivarius can win the Lonsdale Cup (G2) because the Yorkshire crowd have embraced him as one of their own, but he probably faces his stiffest task at the track yet. Kyprios prevailed over Stradivarius and Trueshan in a pulsating Goodwood Cup (G1), with all three staying stars throwing down their efforts to take victory in the closing stages before the Ascot Gold Cup winner emerged triumphant. He is riding one of the greatest stayers of the modern era on what could potentially be the horse's final ever run, but Andrea Atzeni cannot wait to get reacquainted with Stradivarius in the July 26 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup (G1). One of British racing's most successful partnerships came to an end July 19 with Frankie Dettori being replaced by Andrea Atzeni aboard Stradivarius (IRE) for next week's Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup. Officials at Arena Racing Company, which stages four fixtures June 25 including the high-profile Northumberland Plate card at Newcastle Racecourse, were on Monday awaiting details on how a national rail strike might impact their meetings. This is the sale from which the brilliant Trueshan graduated before the son of Planteur developed into a group 1-winning stayer for Alan King, with his 11 career victories headed by the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup (G1) and Qatar Prix du Cadran (G1).  All eyes are on the Gold Cup (G1) for the team behind Trueshan and the star stayer made a perfect first step towards his big-race target with a decisive win in the listed Barry Hills Further Flight Stakes. St Mark's Basilica was crowned Horse of the Year at the 31st annual Cartier Racing Awards ceremony held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on the evening of Nov. 10. The catalog for the Arqana Vente d'Élevage, the auction house's December breeding stock sale that will take place Dec. 4-7 in Deauville, has been released. John Gosden has revealed seven-time group 1 winner Stradivarius will remain in training as an 8-year-old, with the Ascot Gold Cup (G1) his primary objective before he retires at the end of the season. Trueshan retained his Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup (G1) crown Oct. 16 at Ascot Racecourse with old rival Stradivarius taking third. A fifth consecutive appearance on Champions Day by Stradivarius must be some sort of record but it looked unlikely in the immediate aftermath of his defeat by Trueshan in the Prix du Cadran (G1) at Longchamp. We had to wait almost an entire season to see it but on an autumn afternoon Oct. 2 in Paris the clash between Trueshan and Stradivarius finally happened. After Trueshan's triumph and Stradivarius's honorable defeat, it may not happen again.
