THEY came, they saw, and the Amo Racing super-team could continue to conquer at Newbury on Friday.
Kia Joorabchian’s purple silks have been unstoppable in recent weeks and that sequence could continue on to Newbury on Friday.
Kevin Stott has enjoyed a brilliant start to his Amo Racing tenure
Amo have won with 50 per cent of their last 12 runners, including the two Guineas trials at Newmarket, and Newbury could be under siege.
Mammas Girl produced a remarkable turn of foot to win the Nell Gwyn yesterday, while Indestructible was all class in the landing the Craven.
Their record with their younger horses on the turf this year has been staggering too, winning with three of their six two-year-olds and four of their nine three-year-olds.
They have two newcomers running on Friday and despite their recent results, only one of the three is favourite.
Although the total cost of the horses is just under £1million, with training fees, the three have surely cost more than that figure.
Can the Amo racing machine keep on rolling?
KALIK (1.30 Newbury)
Dominic Ffrench Davis has won with four of his last ten runners and Kalik, a son of Prince Of Lir, cost an eyewatering €300,000 as a yearling.
He’s a half-brother to Group 3 winner Oscula and is bred to be sharp, so it would be no surprise to see him show up strong on debut – especially given connections.
Maman Joon (2.40 Newbury)
This newcomer is for Richard Hannon, who won with Mammas Girl at Newmarket on Wednesday.
A daughter of Sea The Stars, he cost 400,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to Royal Ascot winner Candleford.
This trip looks perfect, based on her breeding, and Hannon has a good record at Newbury, including with debutantes.
Price Alex (3.50 Newbury)
A bit more of a standing dish for connections, given his age, but six-year-old Prince Alex is no back number as he makes his debut for Tom Dascombe.
This is his fourth yard, having been trained by Ralph Beckett, Michael Bell and Johnny Murtagh. For Bell, he won a handicap off 89, and he races off the same mark here.
If he does produce something like his best on the back of a 13-month absence, he would not be far away.
