Twice Over Surges Past Midday at York

TWICE OVER gave jockey Ian Mongan the biggest success of his career as he caught stablemate Midday in a Sir Henry Cecil-trained one-two finish to the Juddmonte International Stakes. In the build upto the Group 1, Cecil had been at pains to point out that Twice Over, a three-time Group 1 winner and f...Read More

medlocke · Await The Dawn has been crying out for G1 company, and he finally gets it tomorrow!! This horse is lightly raced, but he's won 5 of 6 career starts. Including having bolted up at Chester in the G3 Huxley Stakes and at Ascot in the G2 Hardwicke Stakes. Proving that he stays beyond 10f, all the way to 12f. Mark my words, this horse will beat Midday in the Juddmonte International Stakes tomorrow!! American racing fan's should keep a sharp eye on Await The Dawn. Because he'll be coming stateside to represent Coolmore/Ballydoyle in this year's Breeders Cup Classic. You look at Await The Dawn's pedigree, sired by Giant's Causeway out of a Dixieland Band mare, and it suggest that he may be even more lethal on conventional dirt than he's been so far on turf. · 288 days ago ·

BrianZipse · I agree medlocke ... if he is let go as the 3rd choice, it would be a steal. Like I said, I am rooting for the mare, but I recognize Await The Dawn is ready to step, and is the horse to beat in here. · 288 days ago ·

orangeman88 · Does it scare you that he has an inexperienced jockey searching for his first G1? Plus, I believe its Aidan's son. I find it hard to take him at 4-5 even though he probably should win. · 288 days ago ·

rossington · I think Await The Dawn can and will win the Juddmonte International Stakes on Wednesday. But he'll have to be at his very best to beat Midday, and who knows which Twice Over is likely to show up? As he was beaten by a very narrow margin in this same race by Rip Van Winkle in 2010. The one thing that I do find a little surprising is that Await The Dawn has been made market favorite for this race instead of Midday? This will be Await The Dawn's first ever attempt at G1 company, and Midday has 6 G1 win's to her credit. · 288 days ago ·

footlick · orangeman88- Aiden's son seems to be doing ok. He just need experience in races like this and they are giving it to him. Would Aiden really ride him if he thought htat he wouldn't give him a good ride? · 288 days ago ·

orangeman88 · I agree that he has Aidan's confidence, and I think its a nice horse but there are a lot of questions to be answered for a horse that is 4/5 right now. I would rather take the 2/1 on Midday or the 9/2 on Twice Over. If the odds get reversed however, I'd be happy to take Await the Dawn. Do you guys have any feelings on the Group 2 before the International? Seville is even but he seems to hang on the lead to me, which makes him vulnerable in my eyes. Namibian is my choice. · 288 days ago ·

medlocke · @orangeman88, Seville's 2nd over 12f in the G1 Irish Derby and the G1 Grand Prix De Paris is the top form in the Great Voltigeur Stakes by some way. But keep a close eye on the Juddmonte horse trained by Sir Michael Stoute named Sea Moon. He's won 2 of 3 starts and was only beaten a shoulder in his one loss. 12f will suite him down to the ground, and he's really improving at a fast rate. · 288 days ago ·

footlick · Both Namibian and Sea Moon are good chances to upset Seville. Agree with orangeman88 that the odds on Await the Dawn are tough to take when Twice Over may have his confidence back and Midday is running strong, both at better odds. But if Await the Dawn runs to his hype, he should win. · 287 days ago ·

orangeman88 · Great call on Sea Moon, that was impressive. I think he has a great shot in the St. Ledger. Seville just doesn't have the killer instinct. I think Midday also hangs a bit when she gets the lead. How many times does she seem to be on her way to victory only to get passed at the wire? She is a great mare but I would never trust her to win. · 287 days ago ·
