Christophe Lemaire will ride favourite Behkabad in the Arc Sunday with Gerald Mosse taking the mount on Sarafina. All the major runners are still in at this stage including Fame And Glory, Planteur and Workforce leaving twenty-six runners in at this stage. The going is likely to stay soft with more rain expected over the next couple of days.
Elsewhere disappointing news as it has been announced that Memory will miss Fridays Adnams Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket after scoping badly on Wednesday morning and won't been seen again now until next season.
Two-year-old star colt Zebedee has been sold to stand at stud. Winner of the Group Two Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster and the Group Three Molecomb at Goodwood has been retired and will stand in Ireland next year; it is a shame we won't get to see how he developed but no doubt a lot of cash was on offer and the colt was an out and out sprinter and unlikely to contend for the Classics.
Over in the States the great Rachel Alexandra has been retired after a disappointing season following on from her horse of the year campaign as a three-year-old.
Some good news; there is still the chance we might get to see Canford Cliffs again this season with a possible tilt at the Breeders Cup Mile being considered by connections.
