What the Nation is saying about Wigmore Hall...

CIRRUS DES AIGLES (Corine Barande-Barbe/Olivier Peslier) landed his third Group 1 in impressive fashion in the Ganay, taking the lead early and slowly pulling away from his rivals to beat Giofra and Reliable Man with contempt. Peslier took things up in the back straight and set a steady gallop on th...Read More
  • ILuvTurfRacing · Cirrus Des Aiigles just didn't win the G1 Prix Ganay. He left a very classy filly that was previously unbeaten in stakes company in Giofra absolutely for dead by some 8 lengths. This horse just keeps getting better and better with age!! I've always thought it was too bad that CDA is gelded, because he'd be a force to be reckoned with if he was eligible to run in the Arc, IMO. · 28 days ago ·

  • Rossington · There's really no getting around this point in 2011. The middle distance turf horses that have been shipping over to North America from Europe are just superior to the middle distance turf horses from North America themselves. That's not a knock, just a fact. Cape Blanco, Treasure Beach, Stacelita, and now Wigmore Hall have all shipped to North America and won at least one major G1 turf stakes. In the case of Cape Blanco, he's shipping back from Ireland for a crack at his third G1 turf stakes in North America. For as good as Acclamation has been carrying the middle distance turf banner for America this season. It's difficult to see past one of the European contenders winning this year's BC Turf. · 251 days ago ·

High praise to Jamie Spencer!! He couldn't have ridden Wigmore Hall anymore perfectly in today's G1 Northern Dancer Stakes at Woodbine if he tried? He put Wigmore Hall right on the rail, which is where you definitely want to be at Woodbine, and was very patient with him. Didn't ask him to go and win his race until inside the final 2f. The big thing, IMO, for trainer Michael Bell to take out of this race today from Wigmore Hall is not so much that it was his first ever G1 win. But that he's now proven that he can stay and win over the 12f trip. As today was the first time that Wigmore Hall had ever raced beyond 10f in his career. But being the son of 2-time BC Turf winner, High Chaparral, I felt like it was a given he'd get the trip!! I'd say this win now put's Wigmore Hall squarely into the BC Turf conversation. A race that's shaping up to potentially be a very deep race, loaded with European talent this year!! Congrats to Wigmore Hall!! I've been a fan of this horse since he was back running at handicap level in the UK early in his career!!

  • medlocke · Not really sure what race Aidan O'Brien might be considering for Cape Blanco next? Or if perhaps he may give Cape Blanco a break now after coming to America and winning dual G1's? I know O'Brien has Await The Dawn ready for the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York on Wednesday, and he has Australian star, So You Think, getting prepared for the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown in early September. Cape Blanco won the Irish Champion Stakes in 2010 quite impressively. I'm not sure if O'Brien might take another shot at the Arc De Triomphe with Cape Blanco or not? But I am quite certain that we're likely to see him at Churchill Downs for the Breeders Cup in November. Given the success he had in America, and given how well he handled the travel coming over from Ireland. He's got a win and your in slot for the Breeders Cup Turf by virtue of his Arlington Million win on Saturday. I doubt Aidan O'Brien will squander the opportunity to run Cape Blanco in that race given his entry fee and travel expenses to come back to America will be paid for. · 287 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · I love Gio Ponti, he runs his heart out every time. Sometimes it's hard to be a fan and a bettor but when the rains came I felt I didn't need a reversal. Strange to have a bittersweet win as money comes and goes but the horses you love always stay. · 288 days ago ·
