If they retire George Washington over a muscle injury I will be very unhappy. I was hoping he would come to the BC at Churchill this fall. I heard he is a headcase.

This just came up on Sporting Life!
WASHINGTON ON THE MEND By PA Sport Staff George Washington has done his first piece of work since his setback in May. The Stan James 2000 Guineas winner was reported by Aidan O'Brien to be "progressing well" having injured muscles in his pelvic area 48 hours after finishing second to Araafa in the Irish equivalent on May 27. "George has been cantering away for the last few weeks and he has done his first piece of work since going back into training," O'Brien told the Racing Post. "He is progressing well but it is still too soon to be talking about when he might be back on the track. "He was held up for a long time and we are not going to rush him." The Danehill colt holds entries in the Sussex Stakes (August 2), the Celebration Mile (August 27) and the Baileys Irish Champion Stakes (September 9).

Great race with Iffraaj charging to the finish..... he almost made it.
Les Arcs Iffraaj Ashdown Express Breathtaking. I was wrong about Les Arcs. Balthazaars Gift was withdrawn, Excusez moi scratched at the last minute. Last edited by my miss storm cat : 07-14-2006 at 09:32 AM.

I take it you don't like Iffraaj? One of my favorites. * * * * * From Sporting Life... SPEEDY ARCS COMPLETES BIG SPRINT DOUBLE By Martin Kelly, PA Sport Les Arcs landed a second Group One victory in as many starts as he held on for a game success in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket. Tim Pitt's charge won the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and he confirmed the form again over six furlongs on the July course. Having hit the front inside for the final furlong under John Egan, the 10-1 shot held the fast-finishing Iffraaj by a head with Ashdown Express back in third. Australian raider Takeover Target, winner of the King's Stand Stakes, took the field along but could not keep up the gallop before his compatriot Falkirk joined him. However, Egan was just hitting top gear on Les Arcs and the six-year-old powered through to take over inside the distance. The biggest challenge came from Frankie Dettori on Godolphin's Iffraaj (11-2) but he could not get a clear run when it mattered. He flew in the final few yards but the brave Les Arcs was not to be denied a big-race double. Ashdown Express ran his usual game race in third to finish a further three-quarters of a length adrift. "He's absolutely amazing. I was concerned as he wasn't as quickly away but John sat and waited. We know he stays and we know he keeps going," Pitt told Channel 4 Racing. "I was just waiting for that line to come. I thought Frankie (Dettori) was going to do us but he is an absolute superstar. "I'm delighted for the horse. He's proved now that his win in the Jubilee was not a fluke and that he's a serious horse in his own right." Egan, who also won the race 12 months ago on Pastoral Pursuits, added: "It was great last year and it's absolutely fantastic this time too. "He's a great horse. He's just improved, he's very honest and has just improved." Dettori believed the interference cost him victory. He said: "I got checked at the furlong-and-a-half pole and it cost me the race." Simon Crisford, Godolphin's racing manager, said: "It was a big run and I was pleased to see him go so well today. "He will be entered in all the championship races from six furlongs to a mile including the Sussex Stakes. He got into a bit of a barging match today." Wall, trainer of Ashdown Express, said: "We've run well. Les Arcs beat us at Ascot and he's done it again today. "This shows the form book to be true. Everything went right for my horse. I just wish he could put his head in front one day." Last edited by my miss storm cat : 07-14-2006 at 10:04 AM.
