Tornado Alert enjoying well-deserved break

Tornado Alert is on a break before some lucrative targets in the Middle East beckon.
Saeed bin Suroor’s latest Group One winner had been asked four stiff questions in the first half of the season, running in the 2000 Guineas, Derby and at Royal Ascot before his success in Germany.
The Godolphin trainer now has his sights set on Bahrain before taking him out to Dubai and potentially Saudi Arabia.
“He’s fine, in good form, but I’ve given him a break. It’s likely that I’ll keep him back for the race in Bahrain (International Trophy, November 14),” said Bin Suroor.
“I just want to give him an easy time and miss York as he had been very busy, he ran in the Guineas, then the Derby, then Royal Ascot.
“I’ll get him started on some light exercise, then in September we can start working him before going to Bahrain, he’ll be ready for it. He needed a break.”
He added: “After Bahrain I’ll take him to Dubai and if he’s good enough, I’ll take him to Saudi Arabia. We’ll see how good he is on the dirt first and if not he can run in the turf race, I’ll have to see.”
