Two Tribes Dominates Again with Second Major victory at Goodwood

Exhibiting an extraordinary blend of speed adn endurance, Two Tribes secured his second prominent triumph within just seven days by capturing the Coral Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood. Guided once more by jockey David Egan, the 11-2 favorite held a prime position close to the stands’ rail from early on and surged past last year’s champion Get It as they entered the final two furlongs.

Despite a fierce late challenge from stablemate Run Boy Run on the far side, Two Tribes maintained his drive to finish over two lengths clear of the field. Strike Red claimed second place, followed by Jakajaro in third. Run Boy Run settled for fourth while another Spencer-trained contender, Twilight Calls, completed the top five.

The Tactical Mastery Behind Two Tribes’ Back-to-Back Wins

The trainer emphasized how rare and demanding it is indeed for any horse to compete twice within a week-especially in large fields featuring up to 28 runners where pace is relentless throughout. He admitted being taken aback by how convincingly Two Tribes triumphed but acknowledged that when a sprinter hits peak form like this, they become incredibly arduous opponents.

Looking forward, no immediate race plans are set as connections await handicapper reassessments following this commanding display. The team intends to carefully evaluate all options before charting future campaigns.

A Collective Effort Produces Multiple Strong Contenders

Owner phil Cunningham expressed immense satisfaction with having three runners in such a fiercely competitive event-a feat he described as “a dream come true.” initially hesitant about running Two Tribes again so soon after last saturday’s success, strategic considerations around prize money and festival opportunities prompted a change of plan midweek.

Cunningham lauded trainer Richard Spencer’s boldness in managing three entries single-handedly while highlighting their excitement about upcoming prospects as their stable steadily improves its quality and depth.

Al Aasy Reigns Supreme Once More at glorious Stakes

The experienced eight-year-old Al Aasy demonstrated remarkable tenacity coming from behind to successfully defend his Coral Glorious Stakes crown at Goodwood. Trained by William Haggas, this marked his fifth Group Three win among seven total victories at this level throughout his career.

This season began strongly with notable wins including Newbury’s Geoffrey Freer Stakes last August and Sandown’s Gordon Richards Stakes earlier this year. Despite some less favorable outings afterward-such as finishing seventh in Royal Ascot’s Hardwicke-the horse entered this contest favored at 13-8 odds on Sussex Downs turf.

Sitting patiently near the rear under jockey Jim Crowley’s guidance for much of the race,Al Aasy unleashed an electrifying finishing burst down the home straight that left Meydaan trailing by three lengths upon crossing first place.

A Trainer’s Viewpoint: Consistency Over Flashy Victories

Haggas praised Al Aasy’s dependability within Group Three contests despite slower early paces that don’t always suit him perfectly. He noted today’s finish was stronger than usual since most victories tend to be narrow rather than agreeable like today’s margin suggested.

“He deserves respect for what he is-a talented competitor who thrives when ridden with patience,” said Haggas.
Now eight years old and best suited for Listed or Group Three races (with occasional group Twos),Al Aasy remains valuable thanks to his strong traveling style during training sessions reminiscent of legendary Nijinsky performances according to Haggas’ observations.

Lillie Langtry Win Highlights Waardah’s emerging Talent

The step up both in distance and class did not deter Waardah from seizing victory in the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes held at Goodwood. Under Owen Burrows’ expert training guidance, she had already impressed earlier this season with a commanding win over 10 furlongs here but now faced tougher rivals stretching beyond that distance against higher-caliber competition over approximately 12 furlongs (a mile-and-a-half).

Cocky yet composed aboard her was jockey Callum rodriguez who backed Waardah into favored odds of 7-2 before smoothly positioning her into contention entering home straight territory. She took control inside two furlongs remaining despite fierce resistance from runner-up Danielle who battled hard until late stages; ultimately Waardah prevailed comfortably by three quarters length after demonstrating notable stamina reserves under pressure.

navigating Adversity: jockey Resilience Shines Brightly

This triumph carried extra significance given Rodriguez was among five riders involved earlier that week in an emergency aircraft landing caused reportedly due engine trouble en route back toward Goodwood-yet all emerged physically unscathed and mentally focused enough come race day success.

• “Her fitness has improved markedly since previous runs here;”
• “Plans include targeting longer-distance contests like Yorkshire Oaks or possibly Champions Day meeting later autumn depending upon ground conditions.”
