Newmarket: Charlie Appleby’s Cinderella’s Dream thwarts January in Falmouth Stakes tussle | Racing News

William Buick continued a successful July meeting by guiding Cinderella’s dream to a first crown in group 1 in the challenges of Falmouth.

Formed by Charlie Appleby and mounted by William Buick, Cinderella’s dream had to reverse the form of Royal Ascot with his Duke of Cambridge Stakes Conqueror Crimson Advocate, while January three years of Aidan O’Brien, provided a new test for the Godolphin runner.

Cinderella’s dream (5-2) seemed to have the measure of Crimson Advocate only for January (6-4 Favorites) to put his challenge back, with Buick’s Mount fighting to the line to prevail with half a length, with a length and three-quarters return to Crimson Advocate in third.

“I thought that when she struck the upright land, it would take a hard to exceed it,” said Appleby, who won the Falmouth for the first time.

“I’m going to be honest, I don’t know if she was shooting all the Ascot cylinders. We are still looking for an apology when we are beaten, so we used the turn and the penalty of 3 LB, but it was around Del Mar and that you were not going to be tight turns for her.

“Will was just happy at more than a mile on a straight track, because perhaps a mile around a turn is lively enough.

“She won her girl to Lingfield, then we went to Thirsk to win her novice. She is at the knee with a grasshopper, but she is as hard as the teak and I am delighted for her because she was so coherent and for her to win a group here in Europe is richly deserved.

“We are going to work a lot on the Breeders’ Cup and mare’s conductor. It bored me when it fled for us last year, so we will return for a crack on this subject, how we get there, we are going to work there.”

Buick said: “She is in class. She was not lucky a few times, but today she has gathered everything.

“What a game of play she is, it was a ding-dong between two good fillies, it was a good race and she had given the second filly 9 LB, it’s never easy.

“I am so happy for her, she was a wonderful filly throughout and I am delighted that she has a domestic group next to her name.”

The Venetian sun remains undefeated in the challenges of the Duchess of Cambridge

Venetian Sun narrowly retained the late burden on the royal fixation to win the Duchess of Cambridge stakes and, in doing so, brought his unbeaten record to three.

Sent the favorite 2-5 after a convincing success Albany Stakes to Royal Ascot, Venetian Sun traveled very well the group two to six strokes and when Clifford Lee asked him to go, he seemed how far.

Royal Fixation and William Buick, however, had other ideas, launching their challenge far from the market leader in the Final Furlong, with the Margin of the Venetian sun only a neck at the end, although there is still a slightly comfortable feeling.

Burke said: “This race was not originally part of the plan, we have just made a decision last week to enter and take a look at the race and if we were satisfied with the filly and satisfied with the race, we could take our chance.

“There was no problem with the filly, but we did not train her for this race – we were easy enough for her from Ascot, as you can imagine, with the idea that we would go for the Lowther in York or perhaps the Morny price.

“Now, she won a group two that brings in the morning more than the Lowther. We will not say that we are going definitively at the time, but if the ground is a little easier and it is a race in which we think we are very competitive, we could go there and still have time to prepare it for the Moyglare.

“If we are not satisfied with her for the Morny, we will go directly to the Moyglare.”

Burke completed double the Albany / Duchess of Cambridge Stakes with Dandalla five years ago, while Laurens and Fallen Angel were both conventional filths to handle the Handler Spigot Lodge, which did not hide the respect in which he holds his last potential star.

“I would say that she is another league above Dandalla, who was a very good racehorse, but this filly is a bit special,” he added.

“It would be faster than Laurens and Fallen Angel. They were high level winners, and this filly has not yet done that, but it would be much faster and it is a very simple filly with a fantastic spirit.”

Ed Walker was delighted with the performance of the Royal Fixing finalist.

He said: “I’m very proud of her. You come here to the back of a young girl from Thirsk and you don’t really know how good you are, but she is very good.

“It would have been disappointing if she had run badly because we not very strongly noted it among our two -year -old children, but run this filly (Venetian sun) as close as we are quite exciting because I think it is a very special filly.

“Briefly, I thought we could get there. I could simply feel the body language of Will that he thought he had a chance.

“I think she was a little green. She has never left the bridle in Thirsk, so today it is the first time that she has a good race. There is much more to come, I would say.

“I don’t know where we will go then – I’m going to have a cold beer and worry about it later. The lowther must be a potential target.”

King Charter Rules for Buick and Appleby

Charlie Appleby and William Buick resumed where they stopped on the second day of the July Festival, with the King Charter swinging late to win the Bet365 handicap of £ 100,000.

After a triple Thursday for the Moulton Paddocks team who presented the 2,000th winner of Buick in Great Britain, King’s Charter was the favorite 9-4 for the stiffness of the curtain on Friday, after having opened his account during the third attempt during his first departure at three years in Doncaster last month.

Marhaba Ghaiyyath by Charlie Johnston kicked the house and turned out to be a difficult opponent, but Buick timed his challenge perfectly aboard the King Charter, who turned out to be faster in arrival and passed the post with three quarters of length in hand.

Appleby said: “We estimated that walking up to 10 stadiums would hope, a little improvement, which was going to be necessary at a meeting like this, and it is duly obliged to this.

“I would probably say that he is still a type of handicap for the moment. We will see what the handicapper does and see where he aligns (going to) Meydan.

“It is this time of year – from July, we are starting to assemble our team for Meydan. Whether he is a horse that corresponds to this bill, we will see.

“Is he a group horse? Probably not really, but it’s a nice handicapper.”
