Palace Pier to Miss Sussex With Unsatisfactory Blood Work

Top-class miler Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) will miss the G1 Qatar Sussex S. at Goodwood on July 28, after presenting with poor blood work in advance of the race. The Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum colourbearer has compiled an enviable record of eight wins in nine starts, and was last seen saluting in the G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal Ascot. He had opened his 2021 campaign with a win in the G2 bet365 Mile at Sandown on Apr. 23 and added the G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge S. at Newbury on May 15.

Co-trainer Thady Gosden said, “His bloods are off, and obviously it wouldn't have been the right thing to do to try and push him into the Sussex. The next race that suits him is the [Aug. 15 G1] Prix Jacques le Marois [at Deauville]. We'll have to miss Goodwood, which is frustrating.

“Hopefully we'll take him to France. He obviously won the Jacques le Marois last year, so it's a good back-up.”

Frankel’s Sister Off The Mark At Kempton

Breaking her maiden at the third attempt in Kempton's 12-furlong Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Fillies' Novice S. on Wednesday, Juddmonte's Chiasma (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) became the latest winner for the legendary Kind (Ire) (Danehill) in the process. Third on debut at Sandown Apr. 23 and runner-up at Goodwood May 22, the seventh foal out of the now-deceased broodmare supreme was sent off the 2-1 second favourite with Frankie Dettori making the trip for the ride. Breaking professionally before being settled in third, the John and Thady Gosden-trained bay full-sister to Frankel (GB) and Noble Mission (GB) passed the 5-6 market-leader Sea Sylph (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) with a furlong remaining and drew away to score with authority by two lengths as they pulled clear of the remainder.

Kind's Frankel (GB), Horse Of The Year-Eur, Hwt. Older Horse-Eur, Hwt. Older Horse-Eng at 9 1/2-11f., Hwt. 2yo Colt-Eng, Ch. 2-year-old Colt-Eur, Hwt. 3yo Colt-Eng at 7-9 1/2f, Hwt. Older Horse-Eng at 7-9 1/2f, MG1SW-Eng, $4,789,144, was her second foal after the G3 Lingfield Derby Trial winner Bullet Train (GB) (Sadler's Wells), GSW-Eng, $177,737 who became famous by association with the Warren Place great as he assisted him in several of his remarkable exploits. Her third foal was Noble Mission, who also captured the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup, G1SW-Fr, G1SW-Ire, G1SW-Eng, G1SP-Ger, $2,202,887, while her fifth was the Listed Cecil Frail S. and Listed Dick Poole Fillies S. winner and multiple group-placed Joyeuse (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), MSW & MGSP-Eng, GSP-Ire, $146,691. Chiasma is one of only three foals produced in the final 10 years of her life along with a 2021 colt by Kingman (GB), but Joyeuse is continuing the good work by throwing three smart types in Jubiloso (GB) (Shamardal), Jovial (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Maximal (GB) also by Galileo who was fourth in the recent G1 St James's Palace S.

3rd-Kempton, £5,600, Novice, 6-30, 3yo/up, f/m, 11f 219y (AWT), 2:37.06, st/sl.

Murphy, Gosdens, Godolphin Take Ascot Titles

Champion jockey Oisin Murphy secured his first leading rider title at Royal Ascot on Saturday, with John and Thady Gosden clinching the leading trainer title and Godolphin walking away as leading owner.

Murphy, whose last of five victories on the week came aboard Foxes Tales (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) in the penultimate race of the meeting, the Golden Gates Handicap, said, “I wouldn't have expected it if you had asked me on Tuesday morning if I would be leading jockey this week–of course not. It normally belongs on Ryan [Moore] or Frankie [Dettori], but they gave me a turn this week.

“Thanks very much to the fast horses. It has been a super week. It's special, because as I get older, I appreciate these days more and more. I know I'm only 25, but life, as we learnt this week, is precious, and it's a continuous reminder.”

“My best moment of the week was Alcohol Free [winning the G1 Coronation S.],” he added. “She came along at a very important time in my career last year–I was under a lot of pressure and I managed to nail a Group 1, and [Friday] was a similar scenario. The pressure was on.”

John and Thady Gosden became the first training partnership to lead the trainers' standings at Royal Ascot with four wins and a second, while Godolphin enjoyed three wins, including Kemari (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the G2 Queen's Vase and Creative Force (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the closing-day G3 Jersey S.
