Kingman’s Noble Truth Takes The Jersey

Saturday's G3 Jersey S. had a familiar feel, with last year's winning combination Charlie Appleby and William Buick again prevailing with Noble Truth (Fr) (Kingman {GB}). Successful in the Listed Flying Scotsman S. and runner-up in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere last term, the 4-1 favourite who was last seen registering a six-length win in Newmarket's Listed King Charles II S. over this seven-furlong trip Apr. 29 was out in front again from the break as he had been there. Passed for a period two out, the €450,000 Arqana August graduate was back in command heading to the furlong pole and stayed on strongly to score by a length from the slow-starting Find (GB) (Frankel {GB}), with Dubai Poet (GB) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) a neck away in third. “I've been looking for a horse for the Golden Eagle at Rosehill and he might be one for that,” Appleby said.

No Nay Never’s Meditate Makes All In The Albany

Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore kicked off Royal Ascot Friday with a bang as Meditate (Ire) (No Nay Never) dominated the G3 Albany S. Sent off the 5-2 second favourite with Godolphin's Mawj (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) shading it at 2-1, the May 15 G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint S. winner was quickly at the head of affairs and thoroughly professional throughout as she led at every step to beat that TDN Rising Star by 1 3/4 lengths, with the 66-1 shot Ivory Madonna (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) a neck behind in third.
