Foreign raider in the July?

Sure he’s only a Grade 2 winner Tam, so nothing special on form

That's just it....... he doesn't. The fancy gold circle people can invite whomever they want to participate in this race.

Unless I don't understand their rules properly?

they can also exclude despite a a high international MR - i think of Albert Hall who did himself no favours running dismal before stud but then there was Foveros. Spanish Pool also raced before he ran in SA and Al Mufti even stood a season at stud before coming back to racing and did very well as did Rakeen.and of course Jallad.. the odds I think are in his favour as our top horse hardly ever bother true Grade 1 class in Europe..

Agreed Bob but my point is they can let any horse they seem for run. It's part form based and pay discretionary.

Loads of folk have lost out with their horses to others who were not as good on form.

GC have always been excellent in promoting the July, can u imagine the horse runs and they arrange Dettori to ride

Now that would be a proper BOLT for racing

Any update on progress?
