Weekend Recap: Ace Impact shines at the Arc in Paris

Ace Impact steals the show at the Arc

Last weekend, Ace Impact delivered a stunning victory at the Arc in Paris. With a powerful finish reminiscent of the legendary Dancing Brave, he showed his exceptional talent and potential for future success. Fans are hoping to see him race in Britain next year, but it wouldn't be surprising if he retires to stud as an unbeaten Arc winner.

Westover bids farewell due to injury

Westover, who has been a prominent participant in races for the past few years, unfortunately ran his last race due to an injury. Despite this setback, he had a fantastic run, thanks to Rob Hornby's excellent ride. Ralph Beckett and his team are proud of his achievements, which include a second place finish in a Group 1 race.

Solid sales at Tattersalls

Last week, Tattersalls hosted its highly-anticipated Book 1 sale, where top horses are sold to the most powerful racing outfits in Britain and beyond. Coolmore has already spent millions on a Frankel colt, and the market has remained stable. The sales provide an opportunity for connections to meet potential new owners and make valuable acquisitions for the upcoming season.

Busy week at Newmarket sales

Following the sales in Ireland, the racing community turned its attention to Newmarket. This week has been especially important as it is a chance to see and inspect over 500 horses. The sales have been intense, with non-stop activity and vet checks. It's not just about buying horses, but also about making connections and building relationships with fellow racing enthusiasts.

See The Fire eyes Group 1 Fillies' Mile

Today, at Kingsclere, an important gallops morning is planned. The aim is to assess See The Fire's performance and decide whether she will run in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. Connections are excited about her potential for next season and are hopeful she will impress in her gallop this morning.

Promising prospects on the track

On the racetrack today, the team has a smaller contingent than usual, but they still have some strong contenders. Works Of Art heads to Redcar for the Two-Year-Old Trophy and is considered a strong contender for a top placing. At Newmarket, Totnes, who has been climbing the ranks this season, is expected to be in the mix in the valuable fillies' handicap. Nymphadora returns to action and has a great chance in a Listed race at Ascot. Lastly, Glenfinnan runs in the Howden Challenge Cup at Ascot and is anticipated to improve upon his last performance.
