Hughie Morrison tempted to run in the Arc with stable star Telecaster

HUGHIE Morrison is tempted to tackle the Arc with stable star Telecaster.

The four-year-old was an impressive winner of the Grand Prix de Deauville last time out.

Telecaster is a 33-1 shot for the Arc

His odds for the big one at Longchamp were cut from 66-1 to 33-1 with Betfair following that easy Group 2 success, but Morrison was initially cold on the idea of taking on Enable and Love.

However, following Sunday’s Arc trials meeting, the trainer saw nothing to put him off and he is now closely considering a trip to Paris on October 4.

Morrison said: “It’s definitely a possibility that he could go to the Arc.

“Nothing really sprang out of the trials to put us off. Tarnawa, the filly who won the Vermeille, was impressive, but connections said afterwards that was her day.

“On quick ground the Vermeille was run three or four lengths quicker than the Foy. You might not be able to take that literally, but given all the results I think we have a right to be there.

“It was heavy when we won at Deauville so if it was soft that would be in our favour, I think – we wouldn’t want it quick, but hopefully at that time of year it wouldn’t be anyway.

“It all seemed to click last time, he seems to have taken the race very well.

“We’re realistic, but the owner quite rightly feels finishing third in the Arc might be viewed better than a Group 1 anywhere else in the world at this time of year – bar the Champion Stakes.”

Morrison also had news of Le Don De Vie, winner of a Listed race at Windsor last time out who is set to head Down Under for the Spring Carnival in Melbourne.

He said: “He goes into quarantine on Wednesday and will go straight to Australia.

“I just hope he gets into one of the big races, it’s irritating that he didn’t get rated as high over there as he did here – especially given Communique franked the form on Sunday in Germany.

“He’s probably a well-handicapped horse, but he probably needs to be rated a touch higher to get into one of the big races.

“Aidan O’Brien seems to be sending a very strong team this year, he’s even sending a Derby winner (Anthony Van Dyck), so he must want to win the Melbourne Cup.”
