A Última Corrida da Asfoora na Europa
Uma das sprinters mais populares recentemente, a Asfoora, demonstrou potencial para outra corrida do Grupo Um após terminar em quarto lugar na King George Stakes no Goodwood. O treinador Henry Dwyer expressou sua esperança de que a cavalo possa retornar à competição, apesar disso depender da decisão do dono Akram El-Fahkri.
Terceiro Lugar Traz Esperanças de Retorno
Dwyer notou que Oisin Murphy, o jockey da Asfoora, sentiu que ela foi deixada sem um cavaleiro liderante por muito tempo no final da corrida. Apesar desse revés, Dwyer permanece otimista sobre seus futuros perspective de carreira e está considerando uma volta ao Stewards’ Cup em Glorious Goodwood no mês seguinte.
Outras Performâncias Notáveis
A corrida viu American Affair vencer Talk Of New York num final próximo. O jockey do American Affair, Paul Mulrennan, expressou confiança de que seu cavalo recuperaria e melhoraria dessa performance.
Nas outras corridas mais cedo na programação, William Buick montou Talk Of New York numa surpreendente derrota contra Shayem no Thoroughbred Stakes. Embora favorito com odds de 2-5, Talk Of New York teve dificuldades para encontrar ritmo nas primeiras fases e terminou meia-largada atrás do vencedor.
Contendentes Futuros
O próximo Stewards’ Cup em Glorious Goodwood gerou significativa atenção pelo sorteio das estacas. Os contendentes mais fortes incluem Get It de George Baker da estaca 27, Two Tribes de Richard Spencer da estaca 13 e Sondad da estaca 21.
Charlie Appleby’s Romantic Symphony tem uma chance forte no Stewards’ Cup, enquanto Ralph Beckett’s Sing Us A Song pode beneficiar em correr na pista curva do Goodwood. Outros destaques incluem Al Aasy de William Haggas buscando um triunfo e Danielle, da Owen Burrows, tentando outra ótima performance.
Significado da Corrida
O desempenho desses cavalos, especialmente a Asfoora, sugere que o hipismo europeu permanece vibrante com potenciais novatos. O quarto lugar da Asfoora nesta corrida pode significar uma mudança significativa em seus planos de corrida, potencialmente prolongando sua estadia na circuito europeu.
