Harbinger has been given the green light to lock horns with Derby-winning stablemate Workforce in next month’s King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Sir Michael Stoute’s colt, owned by Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, turned in a hugely impressive display in last weekend’s Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot and will now return to the Berkshire track for his first Group One assignment on July 24.

Speaking on www.highclere.co.uk, Stoute said: “He has come out of last week’s race in good form and cantered (on Thursday morning). He deserves to take his chance and, as we saw on Saturday, he was well-suited to Ascot’s galloping track.”

Highclere’s racing manager Harry Herbert added: “We are all thrilled that Sir Michael is keen to run Harbinger in the King George and what a race it promises to be, especially taking on such an impressive Derby winner in Workforce.

“This will be Highclere’s first runner in the race and all of our owners could not be more excited at the prospect.”

Getting out of the country is not an easy thing to do this summer thanks to many things getting disrupted, what are the reasons behind people actually really struggling when it comes to going away in the UK?

Strikes

BA are striking a lot at the moment and whilst it might do the staff a bit of good if something comes out of it, it is not doing the people who want to fly any good at all. I cannot see things improving over the next few years let alone this summer so make sure that you know this. Read the rest of this entry »

Michael Jarvis admits it is highly unlikely his exciting prospect Opinion Poll will line up in Saturday’s John Smith’s Northumberland Plate at Newcastle.

The four-year-old has hit the target twice in Listed company this season and was due to carry top-weight in this weekend’s feature contest.

He also has an entry in the At The Races Curragh Cup, but Jarvis is not willing to risk his charge on unsuitably fast ground and said: “He probably isn’t going to run anywhere unless the weather changes in the next 24 hours, which looks highly unlikely.”

The trainer continued: “It’s just down to the ground and this horse is well worth waiting for. We’re not halfway through the year yet and there are plenty of races for him, so we’re in no great rush. The rain will come eventually – it always does.”

Jane Chapple-Hyam has two possibles in Macarthur and Tyrrells Wood, although the former seems more likely to take his chance at present.

Both were in action at Royal Ascot last week with Macarthur unplaced in the Duke of Edinburgh Handicap and Tyrrells Wood down the field in the Ascot Stakes.

“I haven’t made my mind up yet, although I’m swinging towards running Macarthur and we’ve got to make a decision about Tyrrells Wood,” said the Newmarket trainer.

“I haven’t put a saddle on Macarthur since Ascot, he’s been turned out in the field to try to freshen him up. I’ll weigh him and see if he’s put the weight back on and make a decision. At this stage I’m targeting him for there.”

Most people go on holiday every year to enjoy different culture or just to relax their mind. More than 20% of UK population go on holiday each year but this is just an approximate value. Different people go on different holidays. Read the rest of this entry »

Prime Defender will head to Newmarket next month following his solid performance at Royal Ascot.

Barry Hills’ six-year-old entire finished ninth behind Starspangledbanner in the Golden Jubilee Stakes on Saturday. Winner of a white-hot renewal of the Duke of York Stakes on his penultimate start, the son of Bertolini will next be sighted in the Darley July Cup.

“We were delighted with Prime Defender’s effort in the Golden Jubilee,” Barry Hills told www.barryhills.com.

“It felt like every top six-furlong horse in the world was in the paddock before the race, and if he had been drawn a couple of stalls lower he could have tacked across to the near side and maybe finished a bit closer.

“Nevertheless, it was a great effort and we are going onto the July Cup next with him.”

Items to think When Buying a Horse riding hats

If you believe that it is not cool to wear a hat or that it causes you headaches, there are now a variety of hats in various sizes, shapes and colours that can be comfortable, attractive and smart. And never think that you are experienced enough to ride without a hat. There are records of accidents happening to riders who have experience of 25-30 years who were not wearing hats while riding.

Dermot Weld has a plethora of options, including a possible return to hurdling, to consider for Rite Of Passage following his Gold Cup triumph at Royal Ascot on Thursday.

The six-year-old, having his first start since finishing third in the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham, grabbed Group One glory after a pulsating battle with Age Of Aquarius.

Weld is now eyeing more major prizes on the Flat, and perhaps in time back over obstacles, with his exciting chestnut.

The trainer told At The Races: “It was run in a record time and the third horse (Purple Moon) was a long way ahead of the rest, so it was a very good Gold Cup.

“Rite Of Passage will go on a summer break now and the most likely race he could come back in could be the Irish St Leger.

“Then we’ll take it one day at a time and see how he’s training before we make any long-term plans for him, but he’ll be entered for the Melbourne Cup and we’ll see what weight he gets.

“In time the Champion Hurdle could well be a race for him. He’s a very athletic horse and he’s a super leaper over hurdles.”
