#Highfield Princess

A busy weekend of racing in Ireland is highlighted by a quintet of Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races. Among the prospective starters are Mishriff, Saffron Beach, and Highfield Princess, a trio of Group 1 winners whose connections have mentioned the Breeders' Cup among their possible year-end targets. Let's dive in and explore the upcoming…

The 2013 champion apprentice jockey will attempt to make it four wins from five starts on the Charlie and Mark Johnston-trained three year old when breaking from stall six against 14 rivals in the prestigious contest on his return to the Rowley Mile.

It's been a wild ride over the last four days at the Royal Ascot festival, and there could be a few more ups and downs to come with a cracking card of seven races to round it all off. And our top team of tipsters will be holding on tight with their best bets for Saturday's action. Matt Chapman, Ruby Walsh, Jason Weaver, Mick Fitzgerald and Rory…

I rarely turn down work, but the enquiry on Saturday as to whether I would be interested in writing something about a fascinator modelled on the Scales of Justice that the lady asking was wearing had to be politely declined. Such a request would never happen at Cheltenham, though in most other ways Royal Ascot is the Flat's version of the…

THE late Queen Elizabeth II is in all our minds, but there's a Princess very much in the thoughts of racing folk right now as well. When the gongs are given out at the end of the year, there is little doubt that Baaeed will take centre stage. For instance, in the Cartier Horse of the Year race, it's hard to believe that the William Haggas trained…

Highfield Princess and Jason Hart claim the Prix Maurice de Gheest on Sunday Victory in the Group 1 Arc Prix Maurice de Gheest was secured with the brilliant execution of not one but two plans. The first piece of foresight was for trainer John Quinn to give Highfield Princess a short break after running an excellent sixth in the Platinum Jubilee…

John and Kitty Fairley, owners of Highfield Princess, receive the Yorkshire Horse of the Year Award from Eleanor Tomlinson Highfield Princess, who won Group 1s in three different countries in the space of 35 days across August and September, was crowned the Yorkshire Horse of the Year at the Go Racing In Yorkshire Awards on Thursday. The John…

Evidence of where the balance of power lies between the top three-year-old sprinters and their more experienced elders is still fairly scant. But to judge by the market for this Group 1 sprint, the racing jury has already returned its verdict. Platinum Jubilee Stakes hero Naval Crown heads most lists and Artorius, the horse who has rattled home to…

Royal Ascot's final day features a stunning field of 27 in the Group One Platinum Jubilee Stakes and Sky Sports Racing's Kieran O'Sullivan has cast his expert eye over every single one. Of all the top-class races at Ascot, the Platinum Jubilee Stakes (and perhaps the King's Stand) has become the most targeted race for international horses. Open to…

Jim Wilson, one of only three amateur jockeys to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup, has died after a long battle with cancer at the age of 72. Wilson partnered Peter Easterby-trained Little Owl, which he owned jointly with his brother Robin, to win the 1981 Gold Cup. But Wilson's massive association with jump racing's biggest meeting extended way beyond…

Under predictably sombre conditions at Doncaster, Eldar Eldarov secured a second St Leger victory for trainer Roger Varian. Testing going ensured it was always going to be an attritional contest and David Egan's mount saw it out best of the nine that faced the starter. The race was predictably not without incident with second placed Haskoy…

There was little doubt that Highfield Princess was the sprinter who achieved the highest profile during the season, thanks mainly to completing a Group 1 hat-trick in three countries in the space of not much more than a month in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville, the Nunthorpe at York (replay below) and the Flying Five at the Curragh. The…

2pts win Sacred in Platinum Jubilee Stakes at 14/1 (General) The once 57-rated Highfield Princess looked extraordinary when beating Spycatcher and Minzaal in the Duke Of York last month and must now command genuine respect heading back up to Group One level for the Platinum Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.

With the 2022 Breeders' Cup now in the history books, the Racing Roundtable is back to reflect on the 39th edition of the series held at Keeneland last weekend. James Scully: In terms of sheer dominance, Goodnight Olive, Meditate, Rebel's Romance, and Wonder Wheel were worthy of distinction, and it's easy to appreciate how Elite Power and Mischief…

Richard Fahey's filly won three of her first four starts in juvenile company before justifying the bold decision of the Middleham Park Racing team to supplement for the Nunthorpe at York by finishing second to the three years older Highfield Princess.

At a neutral venue, you would fancy the highly likeable and adaptable Highfield Princess as a more likely winner than Golden Pal. That is no definitive comment on their abilities, it is simply that she has built her record under a wider spread of conditions, from steadily run 6½f races like the Maurice de Gheest to a soundly run Nunthorpe. This…
