Only nine entries have been received for the Grade 1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate on Saturday January 9.
Big guns Rainbow Bridge, Golden Ducat, Do It Again, and Belgarion are all there though, in what seems sure to be another high quality renewal of the great race.
The last two of those are trained by Justin Snaith, and his entry of extremely promising three-year-old Jet Dark will also attract interest. The sole sophomore gets 5kg from his elders.
In the Cartier Paddock Stakes, Paul Peter’s Summer Pudding will attempt to keep her spotless record intact.
Here the absence of a Snaith entry will get the tongues wagging, as after Captain’s Ransom won the Fillies Guineas impressively recently he made it clear how much he was looking forward to meeting Summer Pudding in this race. But she is nowhere to be seen…..
