'Disappointed' Byrnes still to decide on Gowran appeal

Legacy Link booked her ticket to the Betfred Oaks with a battling victory over Felicitas in a thrilling Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York. Fourth in the Fillies’ Mile at the end of last season, Legacy Link was a 6-4 favourite to enhance her Classic credentials under Colin Keane and the Juddmonte number one was happy to track the pace in the early stages as Moments Of Joy and Sea The Storm disputed matters. Ed Walker’s impressive Sandown scorer Felicitas was never far away from Legacy Link and although Keane made the first move entering the home straight, injecting some pace and moving strongly past the front-runners, Kieran Shoemark was quickly alongside aboard the 5-2 second favourite. A titanic battle would soon ensue up the Knavesmire, but it was the Clarehaven filly who advertised her tenacity at the finish, shading a three-quarters of a length verdict after a great duel worthy of the day’s feature event. It was a ninth Musidora for John Gosden and a third alongside son Thady, with the victory moving Gosden senior alongside Sir Henry Cecil as the race’s most successful trainer. Of Legacy Link, he said: “She did well. She was a little green early on, fresh first time out and broke away from the others on the outside. “She got herself organised, then she got on the wrong lead around the bend, so just learning a bit. “What I liked was she came through the race, looked like she’d done enough and then the second filly came to her, and that’s a very nice filly too – I thought she was superb the other day at Sandown. “I think to that extent it was a very good trial, I liked the way she fought back and saw it out strongly.” Betfred cut Legacy Link to 5-1 from 8-1 for the Oaks and she looks set to get an early sighter of the Epsom undulations later this month. Gosden added: “Colin feels she should go to Epsom. We have the Prix de Diane, but all being well she’ll go to Epsom. “She has a great mind on her but was short of match practice. I think she can do nothing but improve for the race and we could take her to the gallops morning at Epsom. If she’s in good order she can go and have a spin around Tattenham Corner and learn about the track at three-quarter pace.” Jockey Kieran Shoemark was pleased with the performance of the runner-up Felicitas. He said: “That was a huge run and she is a very exciting filly, it is only her third start so we’re really pleased with her. “I’m not convinced she will stay further, something like the Prix De Diane (could be an option) possibly.” K Sarra was doing her best work at the finish, staying on into third for Ralph Beckett. “She stayed on nicely. Her pedigree says she’ll get a mile and a half,” said rider Rossa Ryan. “She was very green throughout the race but I’d say from a furlong and a half down the penny dropped. “It’s fair to say if there was a little bit further I might have got there, she’s definitely going the right way and she’s a bit more chilled out than her brother (Pride Of Arras). “Hopefully she’s got a good future.” Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

Elmonjed announced himself as a sprinter on the rise with a commanding victory in the Go Local Stores Minster Stakes at York. A winner of three of his four previous starts on the Knavesmire, including a Listed success here in September, William Haggas’ five-year-old was sent off 8-1 in the hands of William Buick for what was his second outing of the season having blown away the cobwebs at Newmarket last month. In no rush tracking the pace on the far side of the track, Buick soon manoeuvred his mount into a position to strike and he breezed passed the reappearing Group One winner Kind Of Blue before surging to a length success over James Fanshawe’s 4-1 joint favourite for what was a clear career-best performance. The race Elmonjed won in September was the one in which Jim Crowley and Trevor Whelan suffered serious injuries and are still sidelined. Haggas said: “He really loves this track. I think the draw helped today. “He’s a really tough horse, he’s gone from handicaps and won the Listed in September. We kept him in training to win this race as we thought we may as well have a go at a Group Two.” Almeraq was Crowley’s mount that day and remains with Haggas. “Almeraq is fine, he worked this morning, he’s sound and I’m happy with him, he’s pencilled in to run next weekend either at Salisbury or in the Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh but he could do with a bit of rain. “He’ll need his first run, he was a bit shook up after the fall but obviously not as badly as Jim and Trevor.” As for future plans for Elmonjed he said: “He’s in the Wokingham but I don’t suppose he’ll be running in it. “I didn’t put him in the Jubilee at Ascot so I suppose we’ll have a go at the Prix Maurice de Gheest, off the top of my head. A fast, flat track is what he likes and he needs to go for a Group One now. “Whether we put him in the July Cup we’ll see but the Nunthorpe is too sharp for him. Maybe the Al Quoz Sprint in Dubai.” Fanshawe said of the runner-up: “I’m very happy with that for his first run back, we’ve just had a much clearer run with him this spring. “Last year was really messy, but he’s really behaved today and he ran a really good race apart from not winning. “He’ll definitely go to Ascot all being well, if he’s in one piece.” Another Group One winner, Regional, was third for Ed Bethell who said: “We’re delighted with him, he will go straight to Ascot now for six furlong race on the Saturday (Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes).” Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
