Undefeated Suesa Eyeing Commonwealth Cup

The unbeaten Suesa (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) appears primed for a start in the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Owned by Georgiana Cabrero and trained by Carlos Laffon-Parias for her first two wins-in a Chantilly maiden on Oct. 13 and in the Nov. 10 Listed Prix Yacowlef there–the bay was sporting the silks of George Strawbridge for her 3 ½-length win in the G3 Prix Sigy when making her 3-year-old bow on Apr. 20 for new trainer Francois Rohaut. The budding star continued her winning skein on May 17, when she was first past the post in the G3 Prix Texanita.

“She won them very easily,” said George Strawbridge's racing manager James Wigan. “I don't know what she beat, but she couldn't have done it more easily.

Currently, the filly is a warm order for the Commonwealth, but Suesa is second choice in the early wagering to Wesley Ward's 2020 G2 Queen Mary S. heroine Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), who would go on to win the G1 Prix Morny later in the summer.

“It's difficult to know because she hasn't taken them on, the best Irish or British sprinters,” Wigan said. “But she's shown herself to be better than what's available in France.”

Strawbridge's Group 1 placed Indigo Girl (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), who is trained by John and Thady Gosden, is targetting the G1 Prix de Diane Longines on June 20. A winner when debuting at York last August, she saluted in the G2 May Hill S. on Sept. 10 prior to her run in the Oct. G1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket.

“Her original target was the Prix de Diane,” Wigan said. “I think that's probably still the target, unless he [John Gosden] has changed his mind.”

Rossa Ryan Sidelined With Broken Collarbone

Jockey Rossa Ryan is benched for the forseeable future after breaking his collarbone in a fall when aboard Imajorblush (GB) (Mukhadram {GB}) at Wolverhampton on Wednesday evening. Imajorblush did not survive.

“I'm gutted to have broken my collarbone in a fall at Wolverhampton when riding Imajorblush, who very sadly sustained a fatal injury in the final furlong,” Ryan tweeted. “It's always devastating to lose a horse, and my thoughts are with all his connections–his owners, Zoe and George Hassall, and trainer Philip Kirby and all his team.

“I'm waiting to find out more about the severity of my injury and the next steps for my recovery. Thank you for all the messages of concern and support.”

Park Lane Stables Seeks New Location After Eviction Noctice

Park Lane Stables RDA is seeking an alternative location for its operation after its landlords served notice of eviction, the charity announced on Thursday.

Originally given an eviction notice on New Year's Eve, the riding school charity, which provides therapy and riding lessons for people with and without disabilities, successfully raised over the £1 million needed to stay at its current Teddington location. However, the landlord revised the amount required to purchase the property to £1.3 million, the amount generated by the fundraising effort. In addition, another offer from a separate party had been received at the new higher price, so the temporary new home for Park Lane will be at Manor Farm Stables in Petersham, Richmond, beginning on June 1 while Park Lane looks for a permanent location.

“Our first concern is for the Park Lane Stables family and our horses,” said a spokesperson for the Park Lane Stables trustees. “Thanks to the astonishing support of the public, we now have the means to secure the charity's future and are now looking at alternative locations within the borough, to ensure we can maintain our RDA activities, keep accessibility easy for all our riders, and allow us to retain our colleagues and volunteers.”
