KAMEKO Post 2

 G1 2000 Guineas winner Kameko (Kitten's Joy) appeared in rude health as he completed a lap each at a trot and a canter, and his work rider Maddy O'Meara said, "He seems in really good form. He traveled over well and is settled. I think he was pleased to get out onto the training track for a leg stretch." Kameko--who is now a stone=s throw from where he was born and raised at Calumet Farm bordering Keeneland and the sales pavilion where he was bought by Qatar Racing for $90,000 two years ago  is looking to continue his renaissance in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile

STUNNING SKY (Declaration of War) just missed by a head in the G2 Lake Placed at Saratoga. The 3 year old filly had run 3rd in the Honey Ryder at Gaulfstream this spring. 

“She showed up and ran her race. She just needed to be a head better today,” said Maker assistant Nolan Ramsey. “At the sixteenth pole, I thought the other horse was going to run right by her, but she was game. No complaints. She ran a great race.”

CROSSFIREHURRICANE (c, 3, Kitten'sJoy--Louvakhova {SW-US, $116,378}, by Maria's Mon), successful on debut at Limerick on his sole start in June, was a touch slowly away and forced to race in mid-division early. Still languishing adrift at the top of the straight, the 11-8 favourite stayed on strongly to grab the lead with 150 yards remaining and account for Orchid Gardens (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}) by 3 1/2 lengths. The stakes-winning Louvakhova, who is now the second dam of the Atlantic Beach S. scorer Jack and Noah (Fr) (Bated Breath {GB}), is a daughter of the GIII Miesque S. winner Louvain (Ire) (Sinndar {Ire}).

He was getting a class break here after finishing a well-beaten 13th in the Nov. 2 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf. The chestnut colt raced along the rail and was part of a four-way second flight chasing the early lead. He powered up to challenge pacesetting Life Mission turning for home and turned back that foe in upper stretch before striding clear as a much-the-best winner. 

"His last race in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Turf, he didn't care for the soft going at all at Churchill Downs, so we figured we'd give him a confidence builder here," winning trainer Mike Maker said. "The day after that race, he acted as if he hadn't run at all, so instead of giving him rest, we decided to give him some confidence and run him here."

Breeders' Cup Classic Bid an Option for Roaring Lion

Trainer John Gosden revealed that the Breeders' Cup Classic and Turf are options.

• By David Milnes/Racing Post
•  

The Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), run on dirt at Churchill Downs Nov. 3, is an option for Roaring Lion, trainer John Gosden revealed Sept. 23.

Speaking at the Newmarket Open Weekend, he said of the recent QIPCO Irish Champion Stakes (G1) winner: "I'm very happy with him, and we're pointing towards the (QIPCO) Champion Stakes (G1) at Ascot Oct. 20.

"The Breeders' Cup comes pretty sharply after Champions Day. If it was heavy, he wouldn't run at Ascot, but if it was good to soft, he'd run as he's won on it before. If he went to the Breeders' Cup, it could be the mile and a half on turf, or we could look at the Classic on dirt. He's a mile-and-a-quarter horse, so you'd consider the Classic as well as the Turf.

"The mile and a half around three bends is not that different to a stiff mile and a quarter uphill at Ascot."

Roaring Lion is 3-1 second favorite for the Longines Breeders' Cup Turf (G1T) and 16-1 for the Classic.

Stablemate Too Darn Hot, meanwhile, an impressive winner of the Howcroft Industrial Supplies Champagne Stakes (G2) last time, is likely to run in the Oct. 13 Darley Dewhurst Stakes (G1), Gosden confirmed.

 Showing his trademark devastating turn of acceleration again, Qatar Racing’s Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy) edged out arch-rival Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in a thriller in Leopardstown’s G1 QIPCO Irish Champion S. Settled with just the G1 Prix du Jockey Club hero Study of Man (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) behind early, the 8-11 favourite had two lengths to make up on Ballydoyle’s 2000 Guineas winner turning for home. Despite allowing him first run as he had in Sandown’s G1 Eclipse S. July 7, the grey was able to cut him down in the final yards and win by a neck, with the pacemaker Deauville (Ire)(Galileo {Ire}) 2 3/4 lengths behind in third. Now Europe’s undisputed leader at this 10-furlong trip, he was adding to the Eclipse and G1 Juddmonte International S. at York Aug. 22 with jockey Oisin Murphy also swelling his ever-growing tally of big-race victories.

Saturday’s G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown threw up a barnstormer as Qatar Racing’s Roaring Lion (Kitten’s Joy) edged out old rival Saxon Warrior (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) to prevail by a neck and survive a subsequent lengthy stewards’ inquiry. 

Freshened up after a busy period which culminated in a third placing in the June 2 G1 Epsom Derby, the 7-4 favourite was held up early by Oisin Murphy as Hawkbill (Kitten’s Joy) cut out the running. Delivered alongside Saxon Warrior two out, the grey gained a slight advantage soon after and despite veering right into the runner-up late on seemed to have command at the time. Cliffs of Moher (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was 2 1/2 lengths behind in third.

“I thought he was always holding him,” winning trainer John Gosden said of the closely-scrutinised finish. “He’s run a great race and was wider than we wanted, but Oisin timed his run beautifully. I can’t believe how well they galloped out past the line and they’d only just arrived in the winner’s enclosure when they said ‘horses away’. This is his trip, we’ve always thought so and the problem with the Champion Stakes is it might be too soft then. He could get a mile and a half around three turns, so America could be the plan if it is soft over here then. I think he should stay in training in four, but that’s entirely up to the owners.”
