Ascot Dec Racing Weekend to be Held Without Spectators

Ascot will not host spectators at the upcoming December Racing Meeting, held Dec. 18-19, as a result of the local authority in which Ascot is situated–the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead–moving into Tier Three of COVID-19 restrictions, beginning midnight on Friday, Dec. 18.

Additionally, Ascot has decided to exclude the public for the Dec. 18 card after consulting with Public Health England and its Safety Advisory Group.

Cases in the south of England have risen over 40% in the last week and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is now in a very high-risk area. For more information, visit www.ascot.co.uk

Henny Hughes Colt Rules in Derby Stepping Stone

Breaking quickly from post 11 in Wednesday’s Zennihon Nisai Yushun at Kawasaki, the second leg in Japan’s Road to the Derby, Alain Barows (Jpn) (Henny Hughes) sped to the front, easing his way over to the rail as the field raced into the first turn. Building a comfortable advantage over his rivals down the backstretch, the bay continued to run freely heading into the final turn. Well clear of Ranryo-Oh at the head of the stretch, Alain Barows rolled home a commanding five-length winner over Ranryo-Oh, who outpaced Luce d’Oro.

Alain Barows kicked off his career with a pair of Funabashi wins last spring before making it three in a row going seven furlongs at Oi Sept. 21. Extended to a mile in his latest at that oval, he remained perfect again, besting Ranryo-Oh Nov. 17.

Madhmoon To Stand At Haras Du Saz

Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), a group winner at two and three who was second in the 2019 G1 Epsom Derby, will stand at Haras du Saz in 2021 in a lease deal brokered by Richard Venn Bloodstock. The 5-year-old will stand for €2,500.

Trained by Kevin Prendergast as a homebred for Sheikh Hamdan, Madhmoon won the G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. in his second start at two. After finishing fourth behind Magna Grecia (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in the G1 2000 Guineas, Madhmoon was second to Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Derby. He added Leopardstown’s G3 Desmond S. later in the season.
