Newcastle Preview Saturday 16th November 2024

Good start to All Weather season , with nice William Haggas double landed on Wednesday at Lingfield, with over 18pts profit .

Moving on to Saturday, Interesting All Weather card from Newcastle , with two decent looking listed contests to start the card .

The Churchill Stakes is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run over a distance of 1 mile and 2 furlongs (2,012 metres). From 2000-2023 it was run at at Lingfield Park in November. However as part of the policy of running down and diminishing the racing programme at Lingfield Park, from 2024 the race will move to Newcastle Racecourse. Given Sir Winston Churchill's links to the area surrounding Lingfield - his residence at Chartwell and his stud at West Park Road Newchapel, on the outskirts of Lingfield village, less than two miles from Lingfield Park - it is a disgrace that this race was moved to the North East of England. However, Arena Racing Corporation know best.

JBB RATINGS : (1) DUBAI HONOUR (117) (1) PEACE MAN (117) (3) TYRRENIAN SEA (114)

 

The William Haggas trained six-year-old gelding DUBAI HONOUR , looks the class act here having already won in G1 company this season in Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud , also finished creditable second in G1 in Germany in September.Lightly raced on All Weather , though bolted up in listed company at Kempton in April .Has to race under 7lb G1 penalty , though should take plenty of beating with this big drop in class .Odds around 9-4 look very fair value .

 

The progressive five-year-old Peaceman  looks the main danger , after finishing close second in listed company at Newmarket two weeks ago , that was decent effort only beaten nose behind the 112 rated Bolster . Gets handy 7lb pull in the weights with Dubai Honour , though not raced on All Weather since his debut in 2023 . Interesting contender .

Del Mar Breeders Cup 2024 Preview

The Breeders' Cup World Championships is an annual series of Grade I Thoroughbred horse races, operated by Breeders' Cup Limited, a company formed in 1982. From its inception in 1984 through 2006, it was a single-day event; starting in 2007, it expanded to two days. All sites have been in the United States, except in 1996, when the races were at the Woodbine Racetrack in Canada.

The Breeders’ Cup is one of the richest two days in sports, with $34 million paid out in purses and awards over the entire weekend. Winnings are paid out to owners, stallion nominators, and foal nominators. Owners are paid through the tenth finish position and share their winnings with their trainer and jockey on their own terms.

Del Mar, “Where the Turf Meets the Surf,” will serve as the World Championships host site for a third time. With its breathtaking location, Del Mar is unique in its picturesque natural backdrop, and its village town center promises to attract domestic and international visitors seeking beautiful beaches, award-winning cuisine, and boutique hotels.

The Del Mar Fairgrounds is an event venue in Del Mar, California. It hosts the annual San Diego County Fair. The venue sits on a 370-acre (1.5 km²) property along the Pacific Ocean coastline. It includes the Del Mar Racetrack, built in 1936 by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, with founding member Bing Crosby providing leadership.^[1]

 

Del Mar runs all of its races left-handed. It has a one-mile oval with chutes for seven furlong and ten-furlong races. There is also a turf course that is a a seven-eighths mile oval with a diagonal straightaway chute for 8.5 furlong races and 9 furlong races.

As far as track trends go, it changes around but generally speaking the dirt races have a little bit of an outside flow, or perhaps more accurately, the rail is often not the place you want to be.

JBB FORM RATINGS :

(1) LAKE VICTORIA (126) (2) HEAVENS GATE (112) (3) FIERY LUCY (111) (3) THOUGHT PROCESS (111)

 

The unbeaten Aidan O'Brien filly LAKE VICTORIA  stands out on form ,winning all her four starts , including winning the Cheveley Park stakes at Newmarket in impressive style last time .Already ante-post favourite for next years 1000 guineas.The step up to mile should suit this powerfull frankel filly . Odds evens or bigger look very fair value, in not the strongest looking contest .

Of the others the Aidan O'Brien second string Heavens Gate has place claims after winning 3 out 7 this season ,including winning the G3 Weld Stakes at Curragh last time .

 

Thought Process looks best of the American horses ,after winning her last three starts , including winning the group three Surfer Girl Stakes at Santa Anita last time , though that form is nothing special and will need plenty improvement to land this G1 contest .

(1) WAR LIKE GODDESS (125) (2) CONTENT (124) (2) MOIRA (124)

 

Open looking filly and Mare contest, with the Charlie Appleby trained three-year-old Cinderella's Dream the clear favourite at around 11-4 , after winning 6 out 7 , only defeat coming in 1000 guineas. Has to be respected , though 11-4 looks short enough being unproven over this longer trip .

At the prices the consistent seven-year-old mare WAR LIKES GODDESS looks the each-way value here at around 5-1 , has been in good form this season , including finishing good second in G1 Joe Hirsch classic last time .Has previously finished placed in Breeders Cup back in 2021 & 2022 .Goes well here at Del Mar , including winning over C&D in July .Looks solid each-way bet ,especially with bookmakers paying 4 places 

The Aidan O 'Brien trained Content looks possible danger on her early season form , including winning the Yorkshire Oaks on fast ground , though will need to bounce back after two disappointing on soft ground .

Best of the others look to be Moira who finished good third in this race last year behind Inspiral , looks open to further improvement over this slightly longer trip .

Only six runners go to post for G2 Chanpagne Stakes over 7 furlongs ,though still looks interesting two-year-old contest .

 

The John & Thady Gosden trained Kingman Colt Chancellor has been put in clear favourite at around 7-4 , after winning 2 out 3, including winning both starts here at Doncaster , though was beaten odds on favourite at Ascot in listed company back in July. Has to be respected from top connections, though will need further improvement to land this G2 contest .Odds around 7-4 look short enough having been beaten in listed company .

 

WOLF OF BADENOCH looks the one to beat , after finishing creditable second in G2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood last time , that form looks decent with third horse Cool Hand Luke winning the Gimcrack Stakes at York next time . Was good winner over C/D at Doncaster on debut .Odds around 3-1 look very fair value .

JBB RATINGS : (1) ILLINOIS (122) (2) SUNWAY (121) 

Disappointing turn out for St Leger with only 7 runners going to post ,with A.P O'Brien training three the runners .

Royal Ascot winner ILLINOIS has the most solid form, after finishing good second to Irish Derby winner Los Angeles in Great Voltiguer at York last time .Will be suited returning to this longer trip ,having won the Queens Vase over this distance .Odds 9-4 or bigger look solid value in one the weakest St Leger's in recent years .
