DUBAI
FUTURE CHAMPIONS DAY 2012
RACENEWS
RACECOURSE SERVICE
NEWMARKET,
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13
Newmarket
Racecourses was pleased with the second Dubai Future Champions Day, which
proved a success on a number of levels.
The
quality of the racing was exceptional with the unbeaten Dawn Approach
producing a superb performance to win the Group One Dubai Dewhurst Stakes. It
was his sixth straight victory and he heads the betting for next year's QIPCO
2000 Guineas.
There
was also a fine display from the unbeaten Reckless Abandon in the card's other
Group One, the vision.ae Middle Park Stakes, while the vision.ae Rockfel
Stakes saw the filly Just The Judge excel and in the Autumn Stakes Trading
Leather confirmed his high potential.
There
was also a great all-round atmosphere on the course and the inaugural 'Racing
For Jobs' was well received as was the 'Future Champions Parade', celebrating
the achievements of unsung heroes and heroines from within the community.
Another
'plus' stemmed from a crowd figure that was 9,514, 4.5 per cent up on last year's
inaugural Dubai Future Champions Day.
Newmarket
Racecourses' managing director Amy Starkey said: "We will take away a
lot of positives from this afternoon and the team here are determined to grow
Dubai Future Champions Day. We are encouraged that the attendance was up on
last year's figure and we will do everything possible to try and improve on
it again in 2013.
"The
racing at Dubai Future Champions Day is, without a doubt, exceptional and I'm
sure many of the two-year-olds racing here this afternoon will go on to
become high-class at three, while there is a good chance that we may have
witnessed a future Classic winner today - time will tell.
"On
a personal level, I was delighted that we staged the first-ever 'Racing For
Jobs' event. It fits in brilliantly with the key objectives of the day and I
feel confident that it will be even better in 2013 and beyond.
"Another
positive was that the restaurants were full and our hospitality boxes were
sold out long in advance of this afternoon. In total, over 1,000 people
enjoyed Newmarket Racecourses' hospitality packages.
"Looking
to the future, we will work hard and be creative as a team in developing
Dubai Future Champions Day.
"We
acknowledge that there is work to be done to grow the attendance of our
high-profile autumn race-days. It is a challenge but we have fantastic racing
and it is up to all of us working for Newmarket Racecourses to make sure we
match it by also providing a great all-round event experience.
"I
would just like to place on record my thanks to Dubai for their much-valued
sponsorship of Dubai Future Champions Day - and Betfred for their commitment
to our historic 'Autumn Double', the Betfred Cambridgeshire and Betfred
Cesarewitch Handicap."
Director
of racing Michael Prosser said: "We have watched a terrific afternoon of
racing on an excellent surface, reflecting a huge effort by our ground-staff.
"We
were delighted with the fantastic quality of the entries for our two-year-old
races and I was very pleased that the races attracted such a strong group of
Irish runners, not least Europe's highest-rated two-year-old Dawn Approach..
"Lastly,
a word on the Betfred Cesarewitch Handicap - it remains one of my favourite
races and this year's renewal was as memorable as ever with Aaim To Prosper
creating history by becoming the first dual winner of this historic
contest."
FUTURE
CHAMPIONS RACING ON FRESH GROUND TODAY
Michael Prosser, Clerk of the
Course and Director of Racing at Newmarket Racecourses, reported the
going remains Good to soft for Dubai Future Champions Day after a dry
night.
He said: "There was a
good, heavy dew this morning and a nip of frost, just on the leaf itself, but
that went fairly quickly.
"The ground walks well - it
is very consistent, right from the two mile, two furlong start to the winning
line. We are racing on fresh ground - the 10 furlongs of the home straight
have not been raced on since the Sunday of the Guineas meeting (May 6).
"We cantered down it on
September 22 and on the first day of the Cambridgeshire meeting but it has
not been raced on since early May. The ground has been saved specifically for
today.
"The forecast for the day
is sunny spells with the possibility of showers this afternoon."

fear the Dr Marwan Koukash-owned Montaser in today's Betfred Cesarewitch.
The
three-year-old is trained by David Simcock and crept into the race as first
reserve, following the withdrawal of Address Unknown, also owned by Koukash,
yesterday. Koukash owned the 2011 Betfred Cesarewitch victor Never Can Tell.
Andrew
Griffiths of Betfred said: "Dr Marwan Koukash knows what he's doing in
these types of race.
"Montaser
is a three-year-old who has crept in a with a featherweight. He is drawn 20
but Never Can Tell came from a similar position last year.
"The
horse has been our big morning gamble and is 10/1 from 12/1.
"Another
popular horse has been Bernie The Bolt, who has attracted a lot of each-way
support and has been smashed into 16/1 from 33/1.
"Hurricane
Higgins - who is 10lb well-in today - is 12/1 from 14/1."
Race 1
- Dubai Challenge Stakes
"HE
ASTOUNDS ME"
"He
astounds me", that was the reaction of winning trainer Mark Johnston
following the victory of Fulbright under Joe Fanning in the Group Two Dubai
Challenge Stakes over seven furlongs. He was returned at 15/2 and battled
gamely in the final furlong to overhaul long-time leader Red Jazz by a neck.
The
three-year-old son of Exceed And Excel, who is owned by Sheikh Hamdan bin
Mohammed Al Maktoum, was making his 12th appearance of 2012 and winning for
the first time in Group company.
Mark
Johnston said: "Deirdre (his wife) said the horse was a bit on edge and
sweated badly when he disappointed at Redcar last time. He got warm again
today and was difficult to saddle, so I thought he had maybe had too many
runs this season. As it turned out, today was his best run yet.
"I
don't know if he will run again this season but I don't think he will. We
will go home with him and speak to the boss.
"The
horse astounds me. When the stable had a bad patch in July, he was the
shining beacon for us and last time out at Redcar was the only time he has
run disappointingly.
"As
he has been on the go all the season, he just canters at home and doesn't
show much. I doubt he has had a gallop at home since about April.
"He
has been full of |pleasant surprises all the way."
Joe
Fanning added: "He has done it well and has been a good little horse
this year. He has had a hard year and he has won plenty of races.
"He
has bounced back from Redcar and has won well - he is tough."

RED
JAZZ JUST CAUGHT
Red Jazz, trained by Charlie
Hills and ridden by Michael Hills, tried to make all and very nearly
succeeded, only being passed by the winner Fulbright in the closing stages
when beaten a neck in the Group Two Dubai Challenge Stakes at 12/1.
The trainer said: "Red
Jazz has run a blinder. It was just unfortunate that he did all the hard work
and was caught near the line. That is racing I suppose.
"We will see what the
handicapper does with his rating and there is a possibility he could go for
the Dubai Carnival early next year."

Winning trainer
COX
DOES NOT WANT THE FEELING TO END
Clive Cox, the former jump
jockey turned trainer, was delighted when welcoming in Reckless Abandon who
held off the challenge of his main rival Moohaajim by a neck in the
six-furlong Group One vision.ae Middle Park Stakes. They started the 9/4
joint favourites.
He said: "That was superb
- I am just delighted for everyone. It is just a fantastic day.
"Reckless Abandon is very
talented - what more can I say - he is amazing. We can deal with the rest of
it (the horse's quirkyness).
"We don't try and replicate
that (performance) at home so a lot of that was on trust today. I just knew
he was happy and well. We had trained him to be fit.
"I have not wanted to
trial him at home. He has gained more weight since he won the Morny and
physically he keeps on improving.
"I am just delighted for
everyone involved and everybody back home - they are a great team.
"To win two Group Ones
with Reckless Abandon in a year is more than a dream - it is fantastic."
Reckless Abandon, a
two-year-old colt by Exchange Rate (by Danzig), made virtually all after
switching across to the stands' rails under Gerald Mosse. Moohaajim came
alongside and may even have hit the front for a moment but the winner battled
back very well.
The QIPCO 2000 Guineas, the
Newmarket Classic over a mile in May next year, could be a target for
Reckless Abandon but connections will consider what to do over the winter.
Cox added: "I think we
will digest whether he is a sprinter or a miler a bit further before we
comment. I am really pleased from a bad draw that he used a bit early
to get over to the rail. From the dip, I was a little bit concerned
where he went from there and he clearly showed a great attitude and battled
well. For me, he was gaining on the line. We will see.
"It is a real privilege to
be here - it is a feeling that I hope will last forever. Reckless Abandon is
pretty effective at six furlongs but we will discuss it.
"Just as the lads let him
off to go to the start, he jumped forward and the rail was quite close. He
was going forwards at pace and Gerald did a pretty amazing job to sit tight.
That all ended well.
"He can be quirky and all
credit to my whole team for encouraging his progress and development -
it is just the way he is. It is the racing performance we are after.
"Reckless Abandon has
always been in his comfort zone at home. Even coming here from the Morny, we
had worked him but we would not be trialing him at home and I am still
shaking at the way he has done that there.
"After his first start at
Doncaster, it was pretty clear that he was heading in the right direction. It
is great. With the fact that Darley purchased him after the Morny, it gives
me a lot of pride to continue his progress and he is still very much on an
upward curve.
"I would suggest that is
it for the year - there is nowhere else to go. We are very happy with what we
have done. These are lucky colours."
Owners Julie Deadman and
Stephen Barrow sold Reckless Abandon to Darley Stud for an undisclosed sum
after the Morny win which allowed them to lease the horse for the remainder
of 2012 and for his three-year-old year.

MOSSE
FULL OF PRAISE FOR RECKLESS ABANDON
Jockey
Gerald Mosse was full of praise for Reckless Abandon after the Exchange Rate
juvenile retained his unbeaten record with a gutsy front-running performance
in the Group One vision.ae Middle Park Stakes. The Frenchman was enjoying his
third victory aboard Reckless Abandon following their victories in the Prix
Morny and Prix Robert Papin.
Mosse
said: "We had the chance to reach the lead without too much pressure and
then I tried not to make it a French race in front but to give the horse a chance
- I wanted to make sure that he relaxed in himself.
"When
they started to come at the two-furlong (pole), he just started to pick up
quite well. They came to the same line as me and he kept fighting - when I
started to press him a bit hard, he answered.
"Getting
to the rail was plan A but I had plan B and C because you never know with the
two-year-olds. If he didn't break well, I didn't want to burn him out getting
to the lead. The ground is perfect today, a bit on the soft side, but if you
use him too much early on, he will pay for it at the end. He was lovely
today.
"I
was thinking that he was a Jump horse going down to the start because he
nearly jumped a fence (rail)! He's not bad, he just wants to play
"As
an experienced jockey I've been fortunate to ride some great horses including
Arazi, Linamix and this horse - there are not many like him.
"He
is not the biggest horse but has a big heart. He moves well and knows how to
use himself. He is a playful horse and has lots of energy.
"I
love riding him because every time I ride him, we win! He just kept finding
for me today."

QIPCO
2000 GUINEAS NEXT?
Moohaajim, who battled gamely
and briefly headed the winner Reckless Abandon, went down by a neck to finish
second in the Group One vision.ae Middle Park Stakes.
Marco Botti, who trains the
Cape Cross colt, who had previous finished fifth to the winner in the Group
One Darley Prix Morny on good ground, said after the race: "I was a
little bit worried by the ground, despite it drying out. It is still on the
soft side of good. When Moohaajim jumped out for the first couple of furlongs
I thought he wasn't really handling the ground and wasn't travelling as
strongly as he usually does. Adam (Kirby, jockey) said he let him find his
feet and then he let him take his chance but the winner found a little bit
more. I am sure he will get further in the future. I think the QIPCO
2000 Guineas has to be considered - why not - he has the pedigree to be a
better three-year-old and I think he will definitely get a mile and there is
still improvement to come in him."
Adam Kirby who rode Moohaajim,
having turned down the chance to ride the winner earlier in the week, said
afterwards: "I am not upset at all - I am delighted for Reckless Abandon
and for his owners and trainer. My horse was never really going on the
ground, he was always out of his comfort zone - which is very unlike him. I
just had to wait for him to come good and when I asked him to finish I
thought I had Reckless (Abandon) beat, we had a little battle but my horse
didn't show today what he can do."
Race 3
- Dubai Dewhurst Stakes
DAWN
APPROACH RETAINS UNBEATEN RECORD TO GIVE BOLGER FIFTH DARLEY DEWHURST TRIUMPH
Dawn
Approach made it six out of six when registering a comfortable two and
three-quarter length success in the Group One Darley Dewhurst Stakes.
Partnered by Kevin Manning, the 30/100 favourite briefly looked as if he may
be in trouble but show a devastating turn of foot in the final furlong to
push aside stablemate Leitir Mor.
For
trainer Jim Bolger, this was his fifth success in seven years in the very
prestigious seven-furlong event following the victories of Teofilo (2006),
Dawn Approach's sire New Approach (2007), Intense Focus (2008) and Parish
Hall (2011).
After
Dawn Approach's victory at Royal Ascot in June, he was sold to Godolphin and
speaking after the race, Godolphin's founder and driving force Sheikh
Mohammed said: "Today is a great day and we are very happy.
"I
was impressed with Dawn Approach when he won his maiden and I thought that he
was a good horse. I could have been wrong - I could have bought a bad horse -
but, thank God, we were lucky.
"Good
horses always find something and Insha'Allah he will be back for the 2000
Guineas. I think that he will get a mile or a mile and a quarter but I don't
know if he is a Derby horse yet. I think the trainer will see."
When
asked if Dawn Approach would remain in training with Bolger, Sheikh Mohammed
replied: "Yes."
Jim
Bolger commented: "There were no real anxious moments today. He just has
a lazy style of racing. Once Kevin wound him up, there were never any
concerns.
"Kevin
says he will get further but I think he we start off over a mile next year
and take it from there.
"I
don't know how my record compares to others people in the race as I haven't
looked at the statistics. We like to target the Dewhurst because we always
receive a warm welcome here at Newmarket."
When
told he had won the Darley Dewhurst Stakes five times in seven years, Bolger
added: "I am just wondering what happened the other two years!"
Kevin
Manning added: "We have been very fortunate over the last few years to
have such good two-year-olds and he is another one of those.
"It
was a proper run race and, two down, he just always hits his flat spot for a
couple of strides until he gets into top gear. I know the horse and I knew
that there was plenty there. Once he hit the rising ground, he has
really gone away.
"He
is developing all the time and is a fine big horse. Today was the plan and I
will leave plans for next year to the boss."
Simon
Crisford, racing manager for Godolphin, said: "He will be prepared for
the 2000 Guineas. Kevin Manning feels the horse will get further than a mile
and he could be aimed at the major 10-furlong summer race next years but the
Guineas is the initial plan.
"He
stays with Jim Bolger and that is Sheikh Mohammed's decision.
"He
won't run again this year and goes back to Ireland."

MUCH
EASIER
Kevin
Manning, the winning jockey on Dawn Approach, added: "He is very, very
straightforward. You can drop him in or do anything you like with him because
he got a great cruising speed and he picks up - he ticks all of the boxes.
"He
is much easier to deal with than his father. New Approach used to get ponied
to the start and there was always a little temperament about him, where as
this horse is much more straightforward.
"It's
been a long year but Dawn Approach has kept progressing - he is strengthening
up all of the time and I think that he is improving all of the time.
"He
had a busy campaign up to Ascot and it was a nice break for him afterwards.
He did it very well in the National Stakes at the Curragh after a long
lay-off.
"You
can often find a small field in races like this and things don't always
unfold the way you would like them to. You only get one chance at these big
races, so it's nice to have a horse who can cut out the pace and make sure
that it is a truly run race.
"I
felt that we went a very good pace - it never dropped - and the lead horse
kept quickening it all the way down into the dip. When I took the lead off
him in the dip, I quickened all the way to the line.
"It's
very hard to say at this stage of his career whether he can go from seven
furlongs to a mile and a half but I have no doubt that he will get further
than a mile. He was showing no signs of stopping today.
"To
ride any horse of this ability is exciting, but it is great to have ridden
the father and now ride a horse as good as him. It's fantastic to be part of
the whole dynasty."

Adian
O'Brien expressed himself pleased with his charge, George Vancouver, who
finishd third to the still unbeaten Dawn Approach, in the Group One Dubai
Dewhurst Stakes. "He ran well" the trainer commented after the

Joseph
O'Brien, who rode the Henrythenavigator colt for his father, added: "He
ran well and was nice and relaxed but the winner just found a little bit
more."
John
Gosden, who sent out the fourth, Ashdan, from his Newmarket base, said:
"The champion two-year-old has been crowned, and I think in the
vision.ae Middle Park you saw the second champion two-year-old. It has been
phenomenal racing so far and fast times. This is real high quality racing and
run at a true pace. This (Dubai Dewhurst Stakes) race was run like a sprint,
fast all the way and it was a good Dewhurst.
"This
is probably the best ground left in Europe. I am delighted with Ashdan. He is
not really wordly enough for that and he is bred to stay a lot further so it
is a nice run but this was all a little bit quick and a bit sudden. To go
from an un-raced colts maiden to a conditions race to this is a big jump -
but he is a horse for next year. These are proper Guineas horses."

AAIM
CREATES HISTORY BY BECOMING FIRST DUAL WINNER OF BETFRED CESAREWITCH
Aaim To
Prosper created history by becoming the first horse to win the Betfred
Cesarewitch twice.
The
eight-year-old previously won the marathon two mile, two furlong heritage
handicap in 2010 and having not entered the winner's enclosure since, was
returned at 66/1 (£77.10 with totepool).
Partnered
by Kieren Fallon, Aaim To Prosper raced prominently and stayed on well close
home to score by half a length from the 7/1 favourite Countrywide Flame.
Successful
trainer Brian Meehan said: "He won the race before, so why couldn't he
win it again?
"Although
he hadn't won since he won this race two years ago, he had been campaigned in
Pattern and Stakes company.
"Kieren
Fallon said when the horse ran here the last day that he would appreciate
some cut in the ground and that has obviously made a huge difference.
"He
is a good horse and good horses can always come back and do it again. This
horse is all heart and has won today despite being 20lb higher than two years
ago. He has been committed and stayed on well, as he did two years ago.
"Kieren
has given him a wonderful ride,. He rode him here a fortnight ago and
understands him.
"It
is great for everyone at the yard and his owners who have always been very
supportive."

DELIGHTED
Kieren
Fallon made history when partnering top-weight Aaim To Prosper to victory in
the £160,000 Betfred Cesarewitch.
It was
the first time that a horse has won the Cesarewitch (founded in 1839) twice -
Aaim To Prosper took the 2010 running of the heritage handicap under
Louis-Phillippe Beuzelin.
Fallon
was enjoying a second victory in the Cesarewitch too, following on from Top
Cees in 1999.
The
jockey said: "Aaim To Prosper was off the bridle the whole way - even
leaving the stalls, I was having to push and scrub to hold my position. He is
as tough as nails and he really wanted it.
"I
think that he has had his niggly little problems and the ground has been too
fast the last couple of runs - this bit of juice has really helped.
"When
I looked across and saw Hughsie doing a half-speed, I thought that we were
racing for second but this lad just seemed to pick up and find a new lease of
life.
"The
key was the cut in the ground - it is very important to him. He is tough - he
ran a good race last time when the ground was too fast. He responded very
well in the final furlong - he really, really tries hard.
"I
did not go too soon, but soon enough to win the race. They had gone quick up
front. When Jimmy (Quinn on the second) came to me, I thought he was going to
go past. But mine has done it well and good.
"It
was a strong race - these big handicaps are tough races to win and a lot of
work goes into them. So it is a great feeling."

to the top of the hill I thought I had him but Kieren's mount (Aaim To
Prosper) kept finding more and when I got to him he dug deep and found all
the way to the line.

THREE
OUT OF THREE FOR JUST THE JUDGE
Dubai
Future Champions Day 2012 has provided some outstanding two-year-old
performances and Just The Judge became the third horse to preserve an
unbeaten record when she registered a gutsy length and three quarters success
in the Group Two vision.ae Rockfel Stakes.
Partnered
by Michael Hills, the 6/1 chance found plenty in the closing stages to repel
the challenge of Nargys.
Winning
trainer Charlie Hills said: "She won like a nice filly and Michael said
she still had another gear.
"She
has gone away again when she hit the rising ground.
"She
has gone in her coat and had a bad scope following her last run and we had
thought of not running today, but I am delighted we decided to give it one
more go.
"It
helps enormously to have a filly in the yard like her going into the
winter."
Ladbrokes
introduced Just The Judge into the betting for the 2013 QIPCO 1000 Guineas at
20/1 while she is 16/1 (from 25/1) with Paddy Power.
David
Redvers, bloodstock advisor to joint-winning owners Qatar Racing Limited,
said: "This filly has a lovely pedigree. She has size, scope and is bred
to improve."
Redvers
also had news of Hydrogen (a Galileo half-brother to the 2007 Derby winner
Authorized), the 2.5 million guineas sales-topper at Tattersalls this week
who Redvers purchased on behalf of Qatar Racing.
He
continued: "The colt has gone to Tweenhills Stud and will be broken in

"There

announced who will train the horse. Someone is going to look scared and
happy at the same time!"

back whilst the winner went clear, then when she got a gap she flew. I am
delighted with her.
"That
will be it for this year but it would be nice to think she will be a QIPCO
1000 Guineas filly."
Mickael
Barzalona, who rode third placed Desert Blossom for trainer Mahmood Al
Zarooni, said afterwards: "She ran well and has improved after each
race. I am happy and think she will win a Group race."

TRADING
IN AUTUMN GLORY
Trading
Leather, who was sent off the 5/2 joint favourite, duly justified
expectations when winning the Group Three Autumn Stakes for trainer-breeder
Jim Bolger by three-quarters-of-a-length.
The
two-year-old Teofilo colt had been placed second in a Listed event first time
out before losing his maiden tag in a mile maiden at Gowran Park on his
second and last outing when scoring by seven lengths.
Bolger,
who also bred and trained the colt's sire, said afterwards: "I have been
liking him for a long time but he is very much a ground-dependent horse who
wants good ground and we haven't had it all year. The first chance I
had to run him was at Leopardstown (Mile, Listed race) so we were happy to
let him start. The next chance for him was in his maiden.
"We
will see how he comes out of this but he is in the Racing Post Trophy
(Doncaster) but we will have to see what the ground is like there."
Asked
if this was his Derby horse, Bolger replied: "Yes."
Race 7
- Darley Stakes - Winning Quotes
DESERVED
SUCCESS FOR MULL OF KILLOUGH
Mull Of
Killough, who was beaten three-quarters of a length when runner-up in the
Betfred Cambridgeshire a fortnight ago, gained handsome consolation when
landing the Group Three Darley Stakes over the same course and distance.
Partnered
by Joseph O'Brien, the six-year-old stayed on courageously to see off all
challengers and at the finish had three lengths to spare over Saigon. He was
returned at 8/1.
Winning
trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam said: "He has been an unlucky horse as he has
finished runner-up in two big handicaps this season (the Cambridgeshire and
the Lincoln).
"He
had his best period of training between the Cambridgeshire and today. He has
always had problems with his feet and it has been a great effort from my
assistant Abi Harrison and the farrier Colin to keep him going.
"After
winning this race the Lincoln next year is going to be out for him so I think
we could look at the Winter Derby at Lingfield instead.
"It
is good to have a horse like him for a small yard like ours. The team worked
hard for this.
"Joseph
rode him last time and is a Group One class jockey so it made sense to use
him again."
Seventh
race: The Darley Stakes

SALES
FOR SAIGON?
James
Toller's tough campaigner Saigon again found one too good when coming second
in the Group Three Darley Stakes, beaten three lengths.
The
three-year-old Royal Applause gelding, who is entered in the up-coming
Tattersalls Horses in Training sale, delighted his trainer who said: "We
have a tough decision to make as he is entered in the sales. I am delighted
today, it was a very good run. He's been consistent all year and is nearly
there.
"He's
been a great horse to train and I have enjoyed having him. He's a real
consistent game horse.
"He's
the most genuine, tough horse and has never had a break and has never run a
bad race. He's had a few times when things haven't gone right for him. He
looked there that he might get a mile-and-a-quarter."
Kirsty
Milczarek, who rode Saigon, added: "He hasn't got a bad race in him.
He's been running in tough company all year and just found one to good again
today and the ground was against him.
Asked
if he would win at this level Milczarek replied: "Definitely! He may get
a mile-and-a-quarter or a mile-and-three if he settles."

1993. Signed to ride for Henry Cecil in 1996, and became champion jockey for
the first time in 1997 with 202 wins, also winning his first two classics.

although gave up riding in October 2007 to concentrate impending court case.
Cleared of attempting to defraud Betfair customers when trial collapsed in
