Forever Young (Real Steel) was a surprise name among a star-studded list of 24 entries for the G1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.The GI Breeders' Cup Classic and dual G1 Saudi Cup hero would be having his first start on turf if lining up at Ascot for trainer Yoshito Yahagi, who is now a regular presence on the world stage with victories in Dubai, America, Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong.Whilst Yahagi is still waiting for his first success in Britain and Ireland, he did saddle Shin Emperor (Siyouni) to finish a close third in the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown in 2024.“I have been thinking – and saying in public – that I should send Forever Young to a turf race in the future,” said Yahagi. “His owner Susumu Fujita shares this feeling and the Prince Of Wales's Stakes is one of the turf race options I should consider.“It is very prestigious for a trainer to have a runner at Royal Ascot. I think it is a very attractive idea to send Forever Young for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, although he has had an easy time since he returned from Middle East.”Yahagi has also entered the aforementioned Shin Emperor, while T O Password (Copano Rickey) could run for Daisuke Takayanagi.“Although T O Password has had all of his starts on dirt, I have an impression from his morning track work that he should act as well on turf,” said Takayanagi. “I think the time has come to try a turf race, which is why I entered him for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes.“Royal Ascot is a wonderful race meeting, while Ascot is a fantastic racecourse, both of which have a long history. It has been one of my dreams to have a runner there and owner Tomoya Ozasa has the same feeling as me.”Meanwhile, the five-time Group 1 winner Joliestar (Zoustar) heads a formidable team of Australian sprinters targeting Royal Ascot, with the Chris Waller-trained mare expected to make an appearance in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes on the final day of the meeting.Henry Plumptre, CEO of Cambridge Stud, the owners of Joliestar, said, “Joliestar returned to Chris Waller Racing last Wednesday, following a two-week break at Hermitage Farm just outside Sydney. She had a week of paddock rest, then a week of steady cantering work up their hill, before finishing with a half-pace gallop.“While Joliestar won the Thousand Guineas over a mile, she is probably at her best around six or seven furlongs. Her current preparation in Sydney would be her best form to date and, barring a travel issue, she should arrive in the UK in great order to tackle the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.”He added, “It is always a challenge to fly a horse halfway around the world for a race, but international travel is very advanced now. We are hoping all goes well and she arrives safely at Charlie Hills' yard in Lambourn on June 4. We are all looking forward to it immensely.”The Australian challenge could also feature Joliestar's stablemate Generosity (Divine Prophet), who won a Randwick Group 2 in March, plus Bjorn Baker's dual Group 1 scorer Overpass (Vancouver) and Lady Of Camelot (Written Tycoon), the winner of the G1 Golden Slipper in 2024 for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.Lady Of Camelot has not raced competitively since suffering two narrow defeats at Group 1 level in Sydney last March, but she is set to make her comeback this weekend.Waterhouse said, “Lady Of Camelot had an exhibition gallop at Randwick on Saturday. She has since travelled north to Queensland, where she is set to resume in the Group 2 Victory Stakes over 1,200 metres at Eagle Farm on May 2. Her performance there – and in her second-up run – will dictate whether or not she heads overseas.”The Henry Dwyer-trained Asfoora (Flying Artie) is also in line to contest the G1 King Charles III Stakes for the third consecutive year, having won the race in 2024 and finished fifth in 2025.To view all of the entries for the eight Group 1 races at Royal Ascot, click here.The post Forever Young and Joliestar Headline International Entries for Royal Ascot appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
