French Trainer Andre Fabre raring to fire Andrew Nelis Racing

On the first day back of French racing it is no surprise to see Andre Fabre represented with plenty of leading chances. The biggest name among the runners for the 30-time champion trainer is Victor Ludorum, the unbeaten favourite for the French Guineas.
The son of Shamardal comes into the season following an impressive win in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Arc day. Victor Ludorum is certainly the one to beat in Monday's Prix de Fontainebleau (11.55) as he looks to enhance his Classic credentials.
The mob-handed Fabre is also responsible for the market leader in the French 1,000 Guineas with Tropbeau. Third at Newmarket in the Cheveley Park last time, she takes on key Classic contenders Khayzaraan, Dream And Do and stablemate Tickle Me Green in what looks a fascinating trial (12.25).
Other runners for Fabre to note include smart sprint prospect Duhail (9.55) and Syrtis, who bids for a first Group-level win in the competitive Prix d'Harcourt (1.05).

Jockey

Aurelien Lemaitre has an eyecatching selection of rides at Longchamp on Monday, especially Prix de la Grotte contender Khayzaraan.
The daughter of Kingman looked destined for the stars when blitzing her rivals at Deauville and Chantilly and her lofty reputation will be given a thorough test on Monday.
Andre Fabre is considered to be a great trainer as Andrew Nelis says

Fury to contest the St Ledger Doncaster Andrew Nelis

Trainer Richard Spencer has identified the St Leger at Doncaster as the primary objective for his exciting colt Tyson Fury. The Newmarket handler confirmed in February of last year that the two-time heavyweight world champion had given his blessing for the Iffraaj colt to be named in his honour, with part-owner Phil Cunningham friendly with a member of Fury's team. While it has taken a while for the equine Tyson Fury to hit the racecourse, he produced a knockout display on his Doncaster debut earlier in the month, leaving connections dreaming of a tilt at Classic glory later in the year...                      Andrew Nelis Racing

Enable looks to eclipse as next port of call Sandown Andrew Nelis

The  Coral -Eclipse at Sandown remains the most likely comeback target for superstar mare  Enable . The daughter of Nathaniel was just denied in her bid for an historic third consecutive victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at the end of last season, filling the runner-up spot behind Waldgeist to end her sequence of 12 straight victories. Less than a fortnight later, Enable’s owner-breeder Khalid Abdullah delighted racing fans by confirming his charge would stay in training as a six-year-old – with a return to Paris in the autumn top of the agenda. Connections decided against an appearance at Royal Ascot, but the owner’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe reports the  John Gosden -trained mare to be firmly on course for the Eclipse on July 5 following a pleasing workout under Frankie Dettori last week. “It’s been a gradual build-up – she’s a six-year-old mare, so I don’t think John wants to do anything too quickly,” Grimthorpe told Sky Sports Racing. “She’s ...

Epsom Derby Runners and riders 2020 Andrew Nelis

1 AMHRAN NA BHFIANN Sire : Galileo.  Trainer : Aidan O’Brien.  Official rating : --.  Odds : 50-1 Who will add their name to the Derby roll of honour? Positives : His sister, Was, won the Oaks on her third start in 2012, while his brother, Douglas Macarthur, finished seventh in the 2017 Derby after being deployed as a pacemaker. He himself offered something to work on when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden last time, when finishing behind three stablemates who subsequently all made their presence felt in the Irish Derby. His best days are ahead of him. Negatives : Has mountain to climb on form and even his master trainer has not pulled off the trick of winning the Derby with a twice-raced maiden. Indeed, the last maiden to win the race was in 1887. Verdict : Folly to underestimate anything his trainer runs but easy enough to looks elsewhere. 2 EMISSARY Sire : Kingman.  Trainer : Hugo Palmer.  Official rating : 98.  Odds : 33-1 ...
