RICHARD HUGHES REVIEW ON GLORIOUS GOODWOOD 2014.
RACING POST SATURDAY
August 9, 2014 Pages 14-15
August 9, 2014 Pages 14-15
“MY HIGHLIGHT of another successful week at
Goodwood was Ivawood’s impressive performance in the Richmond Stakes. There was
a certain amount of pressure and anxiety going into the race – not least
because I put him up as my banker of the week!
“After all, we
considered him to be our best 2 year old and were running him in a Group 2 with
a penalty. What if it turned out he wasn’t quite as good as we’d hoped? Just
imagine if he had got beat? The dream would have been over in the last week of
July."
JMC: How disappointing would that be, can you imagine? A two year old just starting out in his career on the racetrack, all the work that had been done to get him to compete in an actual race ... a colt with so much more to learn about competing in a race. Would he get stage fright?
Would his mind get distracted with everything going on around him? All the other runners around him? What would he make of them? What would he make of the starting gate? Richard's job was to give Ivawood confidence in himself, get him and keep him concentrating throughout in the race. Ivawood didn't let Team Hannon down, didn't let Richard down, didn't let his owners down, and didn't let the punters down. Make no mistake preparing a yearling, two year old for the racetrack is a massive work of art, involving many other people, over months of prep work ongoing every day over ten months or so before a race is introduced.
Guineas trip will be fine for impressive Ivawood
RH: “Obviously the
2,000 Guineas is a long way away, but in many seasons gone by we’ve already
seen the Guineas winner at this stage and there won’t be many who are quicker
than Ivawood come next May.
“A lot of people
seem to be afraid he won’t stay-I’m not. I guarantee next spring there will be
lots of words spoken and stories written speculating he won’t get a mile, just like
what we endured with Canford Cliffs and Paco Boy.
“Well, those two both
conclusively proved to everybody they stayed a mile, and I’m confident Ivawood
will do the same. Just because he has such speed doesn’t mean he won’t stay .
Good horses are, above all, quick"
“People will look at the official winning distance of a length
and think that was the true margin of his superiority. Trust me, it wasn’t. The
ease with which he travelled through the race and then picked up indicates he
was far more than a length superior to the rest. Never at any moment during the
race did I feel he was going to win comfortably. The handicapper has put Intrinsic
up 6lb for his win, and Malih [Lahej Al Basti owner], Robert [Cowell, trainer]
and myself are going to put our heads together and come up with a plan, bit he
is most likely to round off his season in the Group 1 Qipco British Champion
Sprint Stakes at Ascot in October. That will be his main target..
“Somebody asked me how I would have felt if one of my regular
rides, Ninjago, who finished second, had beaten Intrinsic! The answer is I
would have taken it on the chin.
“I thought Ryan [Moore] gave Ninjago a great ride and the horse
came home really strong. His owner Jonathan Palmer-Brown was very kind and
sporting in letting me ride Instrinsic for Malih and I hope I can repay him in
the future.”
“Pether’s Moon won the Glorious
Stakes well, albeit in workmanlike fashion. He has become very lazy as he has
got older and at some stage we might have to put something on him. As far as I
know, Australia still remains a big part of his plans.
“Magic City was unlucky in the BetFred
Mile. They didn’t go as quickly as you would expect during the first half-mile
and that proved his undoing. He will probably drop back to seven furlongs at
Goodwood at the end of the month after running in the Shergar Cup at Ascot
today.
“Shifting Power disappointed
us in the Thoroughbred Stakes. I don’t know whether it was the firm ground or one race too many. He was the pick of the paddock and went down
to post well, yet at half way the writing was on the wall.
“Incidently, I
was very impressed with the winner Wannabe Yours. He won very easily and it
would be no surprise if he had developed into one of the top three-year-old
milers come the end of the year.
“I AM delighted the BHA has let Fergal Lynch ride in Britain again and he will be warmly welcomed by the other jockeys in the weighing room. His ban was harsh. He was young and naïve at the time, has learned his lesson and deserves the chance to get on with his career. He is a very good rider."
“One final
mention of Goodwood concerns the ground. Although it was very quick last week,
that’s what Flat racing ground should be at this time of year. Seamus Buckley
did everything he could, but the grass on the track wasn’t quite as good as in
other years. The more grass you have the more moisture a track can hold.
“You expect to
race on fast ground in the middle of the summer after a dry spell, and I have
absolutely no complaint about the surface.
“Welcome back to
the weighing room
FERGAL LYNCH“I AM delighted the BHA has let Fergal Lynch ride in Britain again and he will be warmly welcomed by the other jockeys in the weighing room. His ban was harsh. He was young and naïve at the time, has learned his lesson and deserves the chance to get on with his career. He is a very good rider."
Highland Acclaim my best
chance at Ascot
SHERGAR CUP
“The Shergar Cup is always a
good day out and it’s been a lucky enough competition for me over the years.
This afternoon I’m representing Great Britain and Ireland with Tom Queally and
Jimmy Fortune and I see the bookmakers have us as favourites. I’m looking forward
to seeing South African champion S’manga Khumalo, who is a great guy and lots
of fun. They call him Bling for obvious reasons. He’s certainly one cool dude!
He can ride very well, too.
Kompany at top of his
game. Two year olds.
"JUVENILE STRENGTH “IT’S
great for the yard to have the leading four juveniles in Europe – Ivawood, Tiggy Wiggy, Estidhkaar, and Kool Kompany – according to Racing Post
Ratings.“Ivawood will step up to Group 1 company next time in the Prix Morny,
Tiggy Wiggy is bound for the Lowther Stakes run at York on Thursday August 21, 2014. Estidhkaar is a possible for
the National Stakes, while Kool Kompany runs in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh
today.
It records in Raceform Flat Horses in Training 2014
British Trainer Richard Hannon has a total of
279 horses in

Of which 167 are two year olds.
