Greenham Stakes Winner Alparslan Added to Goffs London Sale

Wait 5 sec.

Two wild-card entries have been added to Monday's Goffs London Sale, including G3 Greenham Stakes winner Alparslan (Dandy Man).Trained by Karl Burke, Alparslan beat subsequent German 2,000 Guineas winner Title Role, as well as Albert Einstein and Group 1 winner Zavateri when making his seasonal debut in the Greenham at Newbury. He was subsequently fifth, beaten just 1 ¾ lengths by the runner-up, in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. Twice a winner at two, Alparslan holds entries in both the G1 Commonwealth Cup and G3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot next week.Burke said, “Alparslan is a high‑class colt with an exceptional mind and plenty of natural ability. He's a beautiful horse who continues to improve every day, and we have an exciting programme mapped out for him for the remainder of this season and into next year.“The racing programme offers plenty of options for a colt of his profile. He holds entries in both the Jersey Stakes and the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, and also in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat in Deauville on July 12.“Looking further ahead, the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest on August 9 and the £600,000 City of York Stakes on August 22 are good options as the season progresses.”He added, “Ultimately I see Alparslan as a serious candidate for the $10 million Golden Eagle at Randwick in late October.”Joining Alparslan as a late entry is the David Marnane-trained Redemption Road (Without Parole). Rated 100, the progressive three-year-old finished runner-up to Power Blue and Secret Adversary in the G3 Red Rocks Stakes at Leopardstown and was third again in Thursday's G3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown behind Audience and Native Warrior.The Goffs London Sale, which takes place in Kensington Palace Gardens on Monday evening, also features the G2 Prix Robert Papin winner and Group 1-placed filly Green Sense (Starman) among 19 horses to be offered.The post Greenham Stakes Winner Alparslan Added to Goffs London Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
