The Goodwood Festival kicks off on Tuesday with the running of three feature races including the Grade 1 Goodwood Cup which Stradivarius will be trying to win for the fifth successive year. This is what the trainers had to say about their runners.
SPACE RACE
Jack Milner: Space Race was well supported to win her last start but was caught late by The Makwakkers, going down by 1.25 lengths.
ALYSON WRIGHT
Jack Milner: There is an expression in horseracing when describing the chances of a proverbial good thing that the horse could fall down, get up and still win.
Jack Milner: Luck has not favoured Gainsford in his last few runs so trainer Vaughan Marshall’s charge deserves a change of fortune when he lines up in Race 6 at Scottsville on Sunday, a MR 102 Handicap over 1200m.
DERBY FAVOURITE MR MALEK
Larry Foley: Detailed analysis of Sunday’s race meeting at Kranji Racecourse in Singapore.
BIG HEARTED
The Singapore Derby trail didn’t quite pan out as expected for Big Hearted, but trainer Michael Clements said the Singapore Gold Cup winner has caught up and hit top gear when it mattered.
