Times Up runs in The Gold Cup for owners Mrs I H Stewart-Brown and Mr M J Meacock today, having finished sixth on his first run for his new yard in the Henry II stakes at Sandown in May. "We knew he would need the run at Sandown and we're much happier now" quoted the trainer.
Mr R Arculli has two runners, Red Avenger in The Britannia Stakes with American jockey Joel Rosario booked to take the ride and Red Runaway in The King George V Stakes with current leading Royal Ascot jockey James Doyle booked to take the ride.
Auction ran gamely in defeat for her owners the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Coventry syndicate, being denied her four timer by a neck in The Sandringham Handicap stakes, confirming how progressive she is.
Beatrice Aurore also ran a pleasing race in The Duke of Cambridgeshire putting her disappointing run at Epsom behind her to finish a very close fourth.
