THE DUKE OF YORK CUP

FINAL CLASSIC OF THE SEASON

THE DUKE OF YORK CUP

The Duke of York Cup is said to be one of the most beautiful classic of the season, after The Maiden Cup.  It will be run on Saturday 29th October 2016 and promises to be an interesting day.  
Entries : Charles Lytton, Recall To Life, Karraar, Scotsnog, Prince of Thieves, Kremlin Captain, Bouclette Top, Tandragee, One Cool Dude, Parachute Man, Captain Magpie, Blow Me Away, Hillbrow, Sheer Trouble.



SOME NEWS FROM MTC - TRAINING SESSION OF TUESDAY 25TH

Who impressed?  :  Beluga, Trackmaster, League of Legends, Red Hot Poker, Answeringenesis, Sir Earl Grey (wore blinkers), Elite Class, In Your Dreams, Power to Please, Rear Admiral, Fort Ozark, Tigre Libre and Lucky Valentine.  Those present at this very early training, were particularly focused on the participants of the Duke of York Cup and were gifted with grass gallops.  From the grass,  'grande piste', Kremlin Captain and Bouclette Top showed progress and Apple Pie had quite some difficulties to keep up with these two.   Captain Magpie and Ashanti Gold presented themselves as sparring-partner. 
From the sand,  'small piste', One Cool Dude and Parachute Man, who won the Maiden 20116, did very well and Charles Lytton showed how fit it is...

A FEW TIPS FROM US 

The Duke of York Cup : Charles Lytton is the favourite in this last classic but the Maiden Winner, Parachute Man is going to be a very good opponent too; it will have the first run on the favourite! Watch Karraar as well...

In the 2nd race, though Beluga is the hot one, the first time blinkers Valerine will be a good outsider...

Good luck to all and thanks again for choosing to spend this exciting day with the Crown Lodge and indulge in the Mauritius Horse Racing atmosphere.  A souvenir you will cherish for long...
