Black-Type Analysis: Zavateri And Albert Einstein Clash In Greenham

Wait 5 sec.

Saturday, Newbury, post time: 14:00, THE WATERSHIP DOWN STUD TOO DARN HOT GREENHAM STAKES-G3, £100,000, 3yo, c/g, 7fTField: Albert Einstein (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Alparslan (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Aqpan (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Ardisia (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), Gonna Fly (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Needle Match (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Title Role (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Zavateri (Ire) (Without Parole {GB}).TDN Analysis: Albert Einstein is here to make up the minds of the Coolmore collective as to whether to go the mile in two weeks or back in trip for Royal Ascot and there can be nobody who can claim to know the answer until this is run. Seven furlongs on fast ground should be within his compass, so this might not prove as conclusive as expected but he at least has a top-class rival in Zavateri to push him. The latter might avoid Newmarket if it rides fast as it did when he became unbalanced in the Dewhurst, but is not out of the 2,000 Guineas picture yet and it will be fascinating to see how he fares after such a big two-year-old campaign. Title Role had Talk Of New York behind in the Jumeirah 2000 Guineas and is warming up for a tilt at the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, while the debut winners Gonna Fly and Needle Match hail from stables who know what a Classic contender looks like. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Newbury, post time: 13:25, THE DUBAI DUTY FREE STAKES (REGISTERED AS THE FRED DARLING STAKES)-G3, £95,000, 3yo, f, 7fTField: Blingy's Sister (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Catching The Moon (Ire) (No Nay Never), Domina Ignis (Fr) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Ellusive Butterfly (Ire) (Invincible Army {Ire}), Figjam (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), K Sarra (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Princess Petrol (GB) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Silenciosa (Ire) (Blame), Spinning Lizzie (GB) (Kameko), Splish Splash (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Stimulative Trip (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Sukanya (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Touleen (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Zaravina (GB) (Zarak {Fr}), Zooming (GB) (Mohaather {GB}).TDN Analysis: TDN Rising Star Touleen bids to put a disappointing juvenile finale behind her, having been fifth in the Rockfel behind Zanthos who she had beaten previously at Leicester. Catching The Moon is up from sprint trips, having won Ayr's Firth of Clyde when last seen while Ralph Beckett who took this in 2023 with Remarquee saddles the similarly unexposed Southwell novice winner K Sarra who is a full-sister to Pride Of Arras. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Newbury, post time: 14:35, THE DUBAI DUTY FREE FINEST SURPRISE STAKES (REGISTERED AS THE JOHN PORTER STAKES)-G3, £95,000, 4yo/up, 12fTField: Convergent (Ire) (Fascinating Rock {Ire}), Phantom Flight (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Al Aasy (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Bellum Justum (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Lion's Pride (GB) (Roaring Lion), Tenability (GB) (Frankel {GB}).TDN Analysis: Prix du Conseil de Paris winner Convergent goes well fresh. Al Aasy has won four of his stakes races here including this race in 2021 but probably needs it softer. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Curragh, post time: 15:35, TOTE GUARANTEE, NEVER BEATEN BY SP ALLEGED STAKES-G3, €42,000, 4yo/up, 10fTField: Trustyourinstinct (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Eastwatch (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), Edward Hamilton (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Green Impact (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Omni Man (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Red Letter (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Royal Rhyme (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Starford (Ire) (Beckford {GB}), Twain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Beset (GB) (Expert Eye {GB}), Bubble Gum (Fr) (Cloth Of Stars {Ire}), Carolina Jetstream (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}).TDN Analysis: This sees the keenly-anticipated return of TDN Rising Star Twain, who was all the rage for the 2025 2,000 Guineas before meeting with a setback. With the way the Ballydoyle runners have shaped on their return this spring, there shouldn't be any fireworks from the Criterium International winner as he gets back in the groove. Royal Rhyme is a Group 1 horse with the right conditions, while Red Letter has still to get to that level but has the material to do so. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Toulouse, France, post time: 17:20, PRIX CARAVELLE – HARAS DES GRANGES – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, f, 10 1/2fTField: Easy As Pie (Ire) (Waldgeist {GB}), Temapica (Fr) (Ectot {GB}), Chill Y Flama (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Hatanka Fal (Fr) (Hathal), Cracking Good Time (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}), Family Secret (GB) (Victor Ludorum {GB}), Roseninsel (Fr) (Toronado {Ire}), Vanta (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Lapotheose (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Damietta (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}).TDN Analysis: Lapotheose remains perfect after two starts and will head postward for this competitive renewal coming back off a wide-margin tally at this venue last month. Easy As Pie and Temapica are the other undefeated contenders, while South-West winners Cracking Good Time and Roseninsel are sent forth from the Jean-Claude Rouget stable. Last term's Listed Criterium de Lyon runner-up Family Secret is the only entry with black type and returns off a sixth in last month's Listed Prix La Camargo. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Toulouse, France, post time: 17:56PRIX AYMERI DE MAULEON – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L'ELEVAGE-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 8fTField: Khovikhov (Fr) (Al Wukair {Ire}), Komet Chop (Fr) (Muhaarar {GB}), Azure Dragon (Ire) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Sorbetto (Fr) (Supremacy {Ire}), Canalejas (Fr) (Armor {GB}), Cosmic Boy (Fr) (De Treville {GB}), Andeol (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Focus (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Radiant (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Naomis (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Land Of Liberty (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}).TDN Analysis: Alain and Gerard Wertheimer are represented by August's Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage runner-up Focus and the Christophe Ferland-conditioned La Teste maiden winner Andeol. Others with claims include last term's G3 Prix des Chenes third Canalejas, Jean-Claude Seroul's Cosmic Boy, who is 2-for-3, Compiegne maiden winner Azure Dragon as well as Khovikhov, who seeks a measure of redemption after finishing last of seven in last month's Listed Prix Omnium II on seasonal return.

Recent Group winners Green Energy, Zoroastro, Realize Sirius, Altramuz, and Basse Terre add intrigue in a contentious affair.Click here for the complete fields.The post Black-Type Analysis: Zavateri And Albert Einstein Clash In Greenham appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
