Champion Jump's coach Willie Mullins will take the first step to offer his majesty the king and her majesty, the queen, with a royal Ascot winner of her first horse, which you trained in Ireland when you reached Lady Riders in Leopardstown in Leopardstown in a handicap on Friday.
Reaching High has a number of potential destinations at the Royal Meeting, including the copper horseman handicap, in which the empty Leopardstown winner, empty last year, ran a respected seventh place. The winner of this race was none other than Belloccio, who was trained by Mullins, who has had an exemplary record in the standing obstructions at Royal Ascot in recent years in Royal Ascot.
And for this job, the achievement of high achievement is bred. Out of Gold Cup winner and by Sea the Stars, the four-year-old achieved an assessment of 92 for Sir Michael Stoute before the legendary handler called time for his career last year. It is also relatively unposed because he only drove eight times, won one of these starts and placed three times further.
John Warren, the king's Bloodstock consultant and the queen, suggested that the reason why he was highly reached was sent to Mullins after Stoute's retirement because connections had an eye on a jumps campaign with the gelding. A inclination of the royal meeting was also mentioned by Warren when he spoke to Nick Lucks Daily Podcast on Wednesday morning.
He said: “It will be a bit of fun. The king and the queen look forward to running a horse in Ireland for the first time, and this horse could be a nice view that could develop into a national Hunt horse. He is not estimated who, as you know, is a gold cup winner, Stamina could be his game.
“He was trained very well by Sir Michael Stoute last year and when he grabbed [he] has more and more winners all the time so that the king and the queen were interested in sending him [Reaching High] are trained in Ireland. “
Warren added: “What we want to find out now is whether he can be a dual-purple horse and how he progresses in his first starts and whether he is an Ascot handicap horse.”
