Group 1 winner Docklands (Massaat) will not take up an engagement in the G1 Dubai Turf and instead point toward a 2026 debut at Doncaster, according to trainer Harry Eustace.The 2025 Queen Anne Stakes hero has taken his show on the road internationally for owners OTI Racing and the Doncaster Mile is under consideration.“He's very well,” said Eustace of the bay, who will avoid the Middle East as the Iranian conflict continues and point for a long-term start in Hong Kong next month.“We wouldn't want to find ourselves in a situation where he ends up staying Dubai longer than planned and that makes sending him back to Hong Kong [for the G1 FWD Champions Mile on April 26] trickier.“He'll probably go to Doncaster for the Doncaster Mile as a prep run before Hong Kong.“The programme for him then writes itself, really, he's six this year and he was very consistent last year.“He deserves to have a shake at all of those Group 1s, Goodwood might be the only one we skip this year as he's run there twice now and it just doesn't play to his strengths.”G1 Commonwealth Cup heroine Time For Sandals (Sands Of Mali) is making progress toward her four-year-old debut.“She's very well, she was also meant to go to Dubai, but for various reason she isn't – partly logistics and partly because we haven't had the smoothest six weeks with her,” added Eustace.“She'll start off in the [G3] Abernant, I should think. What will be interesting this year is if, and it wouldn't surprise me at all, she sharpens up and ends up back at five furlongs rather than six.“Having said that, she's probably going to be quite versatile and the [G1] King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot will likely be the ideal spot for her.”The post Docklands To Skip Dubai And Make 2026 Debut At Doncaster appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
