"Cecil memories aplenty thanks to unique man."
Pic: A great team: Sir Henry Cecil with jockey Tom Queally, Frankel and Khalid Abdullah
“ANOTHER strange dream. I am
sitting in a betting shop studying the form for today’s Queen Mother’s Cup at York
“They are wearing blue overalls and
carrying long-handled wire cutters. The first one looks towards the counter and
shouts: “Health and Safety.”
“Then they walk towards the gaming
machines, poke around a bit, say “Sorry, mate” to a player and cut the cables.
“An unfamiliar quiet descends. The
men wave to the staff and walk out.
“I suppose it wasn’t that
surprising because, according to Sigmund Freud, dreams are forms of wish
fulfilment. It’s just a pity the men didn’t hang around to find out what won
the Queen Mother’s Cup, so I’ll have to work it out myself.
“It’s important because it’s the
first race at York
“How different our lives would be
if the first race was placed last and the last first. Over the years I think
that’s what the problem’s been- they’ve run the races in the wrong order.
“Over similar years, the Queen
Mother’s Cup, for lady amateur riders, has been very good for royalty and
aristocrats. Princess Anne won the inaugural running in 1988 on Insular.
“Lord Huntingdon won the race in
1998 with Whitechapel and Sir Michael Stoute has won it five times.
“Admittedly, he wasn’t knighted
until after the first four triumphs. That may have been why he was knighted, in
which case Tim Easterby may soon be on his way to Buckingham Palace
“Mick Easterby, Tim’s uncle, won
the race in 1999 with Flower O’Cannie and again in 2003 with Sporting Gesture,
both ridden by Serena Brotherton.
“The Easterbys are aristocracy of a
sort but another aristocrat, Sir Henry Cecil, never did win the Queen Mother’s
Cup, which must have been a source of great disappointment to him (I’m guessing).
“Hopefully, his 25 English Classic
successes and ten trainer’s championships were some compensation.
“Cecil weaved such a long,
distinctive strand in racing’s fabric that we all have our memories, gained
from near of far.
“Like others, I picture Cecil’s
unique presence at the racecourse and wonder at the extraordinary resurrection
of his training career from seemingly irreversible decline when he was already
in his 60’s. For that, as well as his own determination, Cecil owed a lot to
owner Khalid Abdullah’s loyalty.
“In the final furlong, there was
Frankel, a golden sunset during Cecil’s quietly brave and dignified endurance
of cancer. It was a disease he knew well, since his twin brother David had died
from it when only 57.
“Perhaps that informed and
strengthened his resolve and stoicism, while Frankel made it easier to get out
of bed.
“CECIL’S racing life reaches far
back, even beyond the novelty of Gianfranco Dettori, Frankie’s father, twice
registering a 2,000 Guineas
“That sticks in the memory, along
with the glorious years with Steve Cauthen in the mid-1980’s, the years of Oh
So Sharp, Slip Anchor, Reference Point, and Indian Skimmer.
“Falkland
was an early favourite of mine, shiny black, with stony-faced Greville Starkey
wearing the familiar apricot colours of Lord Howard de Walden to give Cecil the
first of his eight victories in the Queen’s Vase in 1972.
“Next Friday, it will be the
Queen’s Vase in memory of Sir Henry Cecil. The Royal Ascot crowd will stand
quietly, with their own memories; Cecil provided us with a lot. Racing’s wheel
will keep turning but a spoke will be missing. The sight of Lady Cecil’s name
in the racecard, where Sir Henry’s name appeared, seems strange.
“She doesn’t have a runner in the
Queen Mother’s Cup, which is probably just as well, because it would be like
submitting a clue for a crossword already full of teasers.
“Can Crackentorp win again? Will
Serena Brotherton win for a third time, bringing Sirvino stealing through from
the back of a suitably strong pace?
“Does the old faithful, Nanton,
have one more win in him? Yes, yes, yes. And who is Emily Bullock, who rides
Eagle Rock?
“These are just some of the
questions to which I do not know the answer.
“If Jo Richards can overcome a poor
draw and Rio ’s Rosanna’s hard-pulling
tendencies, unsettled, bewildered Rio's Rosanna's hard-pulling tendencies, bad habit to get into in the first place. Richard Whitaker’s mare might be the answer but it’s safer to rely
on Sirvino and solicitor Brotherton to lay down the law.” Is it? Was it? The Law? Who's Law?
ROYAL ASCOT OPENING DAY
Tuesday June 18th
A very interesting racecard today
In the first race we will be able to see ANIMAL KINGDOM in
action in Britain for the
first time in the 2.30 Queen Anne Stakes over the straight mile at Ascot . ANIMAL KINGDOM couldn't cope with the Ascot Turf, up there with the pace, but faded out, tired at the business end of this race. 5-4f. WIN: DECLARATION OF WAR partner JOSEPH O'BRIEN. TEAM O'BRIEN. 15-2.
In the second race 3.05 King Stand stakes over 5 furlongs we
will see the 3 Year old sprinter RECKLESS ABANDON 3 8-12 5th beaten 2 lengths + at 4-1 taking on some of the older
sprinters. We will see 2nd SHEA SHEA 6 9-4. 11-4f. Beaten neck, by SOLE POWER
6 9-4 partner JOHNNY MURTAGH 8-1. compete, over from South Aftica, and SHAMEXPRESS 4 9-4 9th 12-1. compete, over from Australia. YES, an exciting sprint indeed..
6 9-4 partner JOHNNY MURTAGH 8-1. compete, over from South Aftica, and SHAMEXPRESS 4 9-4 9th 12-1. compete, over from Australia. YES, an exciting sprint indeed..
In the third race 3.45 St James Palace Stakes we will see WIN:
DAWN APPROACH partner KEVIN MANNING (TEAM BOLGER) 5-4f. Short Head from TORONADO partner RICHARD HUGHES (TEAM HANNON) 5-1 return after his horrid frightening spookie experience in
the British Derby at Epsom, to challenge TEAM O’BRIEN’S MAGICIAN partner JOSEPH O'BRIEN hampered unable to recover. and MARS partner RYAN MOORE 3rd 10-1 all
three over from Ireland
Dawn Approach’s temperament at home, is different to his temperament through his experiences to date on the racecourses. Dawn Approach has learned that in his races things are very different than things at home. Dawn Approach is not nearly as trusting on the racecourses as he is at home because he is in a different environment. His spookie fear and panic in the British Derby showed that to be true. Dawn Approach realises that in a race he is expected to go much faster, and in his mind he thinks to himself, well let’s get on with it then, no point in wasting time loitering at the back of the field, when all the other horses are going faster. Hence his fight and flight with Kevin Manning in the Epsom Derby. Yesterday he took a fair grip again on the bridle early on as well. But he took heed of Kevin’s guidance after a bit. Dawn Approach is reacting in his races as a three year old to his experiences to date in the races he has run and won. Watch out here Dawn Approach is saying, strange things are likely to happen. Strange things that Dawn Approach believes that he needs to escape from, he is doubting that he can trust Kevin's guidance as well.

In the fourth race the 4.25 Coventry Stakes over 6f for two
year old colts, we will see the young colts just starting out on their racing
road career. With still much to learn. We see STUBB’S partner JOSEPH O'BRIEN 5-2f raced keenly throughout until fading at the business end. SIR JOHN HAWKINS partner RYAN MOORE 3rd 6-1 and WIN: WAR
COMMAND partner SEAMIE HEFFERNAN 6 lengths at 20-1 over from Ireland
In the fifth race the 5.00 Ascot Stakes (handicap) over 2m4f
we have the fascinating prospect to see RP Rodney Masters (Saturday June 16th)
Sir Henry Cecil’s race story unfold …. Between TIGER CLIFF (IRE) 4 9-7 partner TOM QUEALLY
(TEAM CECIL) 2nd
4-1f distance 2l+ and FIRST LIEUTENANT 7 9-1 partner G LEE (TEAM HENDERSON) 3rd
4-1f distance 2l+ and FIRST LIEUTENANT 7 9-1 partner G LEE (TEAM HENDERSON) 3rd
8-1 Both horses
belonging to the same owner W H Ponsonby but trained by different trainer teams.
The thread of this true story is that Sir
Henry told Ponsonby that TIGER CLIFF would beat FIRST LIEUTENANT, over this trip
we will find out this afternoon. It will be interesting to hear what Tanya has
to tell us about the betting before the off.
WIN: WELL SHARP 5 9-10 partner F M BERRY. trainer JONJO O'NEILL 9-1. distance two and a half lengths. (Top weight)
The last race 5.35 Windsor Castle Stakes for 2 year olds over 5f Colts carry 9-3. Fillies
8-12. WIN: EXTORTIONIST (IRE) partner JOHNNY MURTAGH trainer Olly Stevens. a neck from SUPPLICANT partner TONY HAMILTON trainer Richard Fahey 20-1. from 3rd ANTICIPATED (IRE) partner RICHARD HUGHES distance shd. 4-1f. the first 5 horses all close up together in this finish.
WEDNESDAY JUNE 19th TODAY’S ASCOT CARDS
In the first race 2.30
Jersey Stakes (Group 3) over 7f for 3yo’s 21 runners. WIN: We have GALE FORCE TEN partner JOSEPH O’BRIEN TEAM
O’BRIEN. 9-2. And 2nd MONTIRIDGE partner RICHARD HUGHES TEAM HANNON. With a field of 21 runners this may cause race hazards of all sorts. A negligence area the British horseracing authority government’s (BHA) has let skid over the last 6 decades due to their bloodhorse illiteracy.
In the second race
3.05. Duke of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2) (fillies and mares) over the straight
mile for 4 year olds up, we have looks like 10 runners. A challenger from
France SARKIYLA (FR) 4 8-12 partner CHRISTOPHE-PATRICE LEMAIRE trained by A de
Royer-Dupre owned and bred by H H Aga Khan. We have CHIGUN 4 8-12 partner TOM QUEALLY trainer Lady Cecil. We have WIN:DUNTLE (IRE) 4 8-12 partner WAYNE LORDAN trainer David Watchman (IRE). Looks like this could turn out to be a hot race.
In the third race
3.45: Prince of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1) over 1m2f for 4yo’s and up we have 11 runners CAMELOT 4
9.0 partner JOSEPH O’BRIEN TEAM O’BRIEN. We have
3rd THE FUGUE 4 8-11 partner WILLIAM BUICK trainer John Gosden the only filly in the race. Winner AL KAZEEM
3rd THE FUGUE 4 8-11 partner WILLIAM BUICK trainer John Gosden the only filly in the race. Winner AL KAZEEM
In the fourth race
4.25 Royal Hunt Cup Handicap 1m. 3yo+ top weight 9-10. bottom weight 8-10. 30
down to run, we have EDUCATE 4 8-12
partner JAMIE SPENCER trainer Ismail Mohammed. We have BURKE’S ROCK 4 8-11
partner FRANKIE DETTORI trainer Jeremy Noseda. This could turn out to be a satchel filler for the bookmakers. WIN:
In the fifth race 5.00 Queen Mary (Group 2) two year old fillies over 5 furlongs we have BYE BYE BIRDIE (IRE) partner RYAN MOORE TEAM O’BRIEN. We have SWEET EMMA ROSE from (USA
In the first race 2.30 Norfolk Stakes 5f 2yo colts we have COACH HOUSE partner JOSEPH O'BRIEN TEAM O'BRIEN. These 2 year olds have a lot to learn. What they learn and how they learn depends on who rides them out every day and handles them daily. If not done carefully, all sorts of unwanted highly dangerous and distressing problems can surface. As Nicky Henderson says "All racehorses in training are accidents waiting to happen." A negligence area the British horseracing authority government’s (BHA) has let skid over the last 6 decades due to their bloodhorse illiteracy. The perils of attempting to run British Horseracing without a true Equus Zone.
