The latest Duel on the Downs came to fruition in a big way
at Goodwood on July 31 when the Group One QIPCO Sussex Stakes, the highlight of
Glorious Goodwood, saw Toronado swoop late and wide under a perfect
Richard Hughes ride to beat Dawn Approach who had gone for home with a
furlong and a half remaining.
The score this year may still be 2-1 in Dawn Approach's
favour, after victories in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas and the St James's Palace
Stakes, but Toronado, trained by Richard Hannon for Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad al
Thani, has seized the initiative.
Toronado now has 70 points for the Cartier Racing Awards
and is making his presence felt in the race for the Cartier Horse Of The Year
and Cartier Three-Year-Old Colt titles, with Godolphin's Dawn Approach on 112.
They are the two highest-rated three-year-olds in the world.
Lethal Force (120
points) may have failed to gain a famous Group One sprint hat-trick, but Clive
Cox's charge has moved into pole position narrowly for the Cartier Horse Of The
Year Award. The four-year-old won the Darley July Cup at Newmarket in a course
record time after taking the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot but proved
no match for an imperious Moonlight Cloud (40)in the Larc Prix Maurice
de Gheest when runner-up by a length and three quarters over six and a half
furlongs at Deauville on August 4.
He is just ahead of QIPCO 1,000 Guineas heroine Sky
Lantern (116). The daughter of Red Clubs was a brilliant winner of the
Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot but has met with defeat in unlucky
circumstances on her two most recent starts, chasing home Elusive Kate (64)by
a neck in the Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July and finishing
fifth after being hampered twice in the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes behind Winsili
(34) at Glorious Goodwood on August 3.
Al Kazeem (112)
remains unbeaten in 2013. The Roger Charlton-trained five-year-old has captured
three Group One contests this term, as well as being successful on his seasonal
debut.
The German four-year-old Novellist (86) is another
with perfect form figures this year and the Monsun colt, trained by Andreas
Wohler for Dr Christoph Berglar, was very impressive in the Group One
Betfair-sponsored King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July
27, winning by five lengths.
Lethal Force also heads the battle for the Cartier Older
Horse title on pints, from Al Kazeem and Novellist.
Trainer Jim Bolger dominates the Cartier Three-Year-old
Colt category, thanks to Dawn Approach and Irish Derby hero Trading Leather
(92), who finished second at Ascot to Novellist, but Toronado has now moved to
third on points.
Sky Lantern is clear of Irish 1,000 Guineas scorer Just
The Judge (84) in the race for the Cartier Three-Year-old Filly accolade,
while Her Majesty The Queen's Gold Cup heroine Estimate (56) leads
Simenon (24) and Verema (21) for the Cartier Stayer award.
Lethal Force holds a commanding advantage in the Cartier
Sprint category. The son of Dark Angel is followed by Society Rock (64)
and King's Stand Stakes scorer Sole Power (45).
The first batch of points for the two-year-olds are
released today and it's a seven-way tie for top honours in the Cartier Two-Year-Old
Colt category. Aidan O'Brien's War Command, who vanquished his rivals in
the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot,is joined on 16 points by Norfolk Stakes
hero No Nay Never, trained in the US by Wesley Ward, Portland Place
Properties July Stakes winner Anjaal and 32Red.com Superlative Stakes
victor Good Old Boy Lukey,
Also disputing the lead are Saayerr and Toormore,
winners of the Audi Richmond Stakes and Veuve Clicquot Vintage Stakes
respectively at Glorious Goodwood, plus the David Wachman-trained Sudirman.
Queen Mary Stakes scorer Rizeena, trained by Clive
Brittain, tops the Cartier Two-Year-Old Filly standings on 24 points despite a
shock defeat at the hands of Lucky Kristale (16) in the Duchess Of
Cambridge Stakes Sponsored By Betfred at Newmarket on July 12. Impressive Prix
Robert Papin winner Vorda is also on 16 points.
Harry Herbert, Cartier's Racing Consultant, commented:
"The QIPCO Sussex Stakes was truly Glorious and the whole racing world
eagerly anticipates the fourth meeting between Toronado and Dawn Approach.
"Novellist's victory in the King George VI & Queen
Elizabeth Stakes Sponsored by Betfair was magnificent and now we wait to see
what Moonlight Cloud and Al Kazeem can achieve at Deauville and York
respectively later this month."
About the Cartier Racing Awards
The Cartier Racing Awards were established in 1991 to
reward excellence in horseracing. They are determined by points earned by
horses in Pattern races throughout 2013, combined at the end of season with the
opinions of a panel of racing journalists and votes from readers of the Racing
Post and The Daily Telegraph.
In addition to the eight equine awards, the Cartier/Daily
Telegraph Award of Merit goes to the person or persons who, in the opinion of
the special Cartier Jury, has/have done the most for European racing and/or
breeding either over their lifetime or within the past 12 months.
The awards will be presented during a glittering ceremony
before an invited audience at London's Dorchester Hotel on the evening of
Tuesday, November 12.
