Guineas Winners To Meet In Sussex
Kameko (Kitten’s Joy) and Siskin (First Defence), winners respectively of the G1 Qipco 2000 Guineas and G1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas, are set to meet in the G1 Sussex S. on July 29. Kameko was last seen finishing fourth in the G1 Investec Derby on July 4, while Siskin comes in off his Curragh Classic win on June 12.
David Redvers, racing and bloodstock advisor to Kameko’s owner Qatar Racing, told Nick Luck’s Daily podcast that the Sussex would be used as a stepping stone to the G1 Juddmonte International on Aug. 19.
“There’s been lively in-house debate and Sheikh Fahad is keen to go with [trainer] Andrew [Balding]’s preferred option, which at the moment looks like it will be the Sussex,” Redvers said. “We need to have a meeting of the two Guineas winners to see which is the better and it looks to me like the Sussex is where we are leaning at the moment. It depends on other factors, such as weather and how the horse is, but at the moment it looks like that is where we are heading.
“Going to the Sussex gives you more time [than the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois on Aug. 16] if you wanted to go to the Juddmonte, which has been Andrew’s target all along. He bounced out of the Derby very well and will have had quite a lot of quick runs if he does go to the Juddmonte, but a bit like Roaring Lion, Kitten’s Joy seems to make them out of tough stuff.”

A&A Ranch To Offer New Mexico-Bred Yearling Consignment Directly Off Farm
Fred Alexander of A&A Ranch in Anthony, N.M. announced today that due to COVID-19 restrictions and the relocation of the Ruidoso New Mexico-Bred Yearling Sale to Oklahoma, he is offering his consignment of yearlings for purchase directly from the farm.
All yearlings are currently under sales prep at the farm. More information will be available soon on the A&A Ranch website: www.aaranch.org
After selling the $82,000 sale topper at Ruidoso in 2019, Alexander said, “it was not an easy decision to stay in New Mexico and sell from our home base, but at the end of the day I felt we needed to do what was best for our staff and the horses.”
Alexander continued, “we have another highly promising group for 2020 and feel they will do very well racing in New Mexico.”
