Duke Of Marmalade vs New Approach.... it's on
From Racing Post....
New Approach will run in Juddmonte International Tony O'Hehir YORK is set to stage the race of the season on Tuesday after Voadfone Derby victor New Approach(right) was given the green light to tackle multiple Group 1 winner Duke Of Marmalade in the Juddmonte International. The two Irish superstars will go head to head in the Ebor meeting's showpiece event after New Approach's trainer Jim Bolger and ownerPrincess Haya decided to pitch in the Epsom hero against Ballydoyle's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner. Bolger told the Racing Post: “Following discussions between myself and the owners, we have decided that New Approach will run in the International. We have no real concerns should the ground ride soft.” However, Bolger added that Lush Lashes will not run in Thursday's Darley Yorkshire Oaks if the ground is soft. * * * * I seriously believe that over ten furlongs on good ground (which it is almost certain to be at York) New Approach will be just too good for Duke Of Marmalade, especially with the weight allowance he gets from The Duke. New Approach is yet to run over this ten furlong distance but it looks like this will be his best distance, after not having the speed to cope with Henry in the closing stages of a mile and although winning the Derby over twelve furlongs he didn't look like he really enjoyed that distance. At about 9/2, he is a massive bet.

I'm not fan of Jim Bolger after how he has treated punters in the last year or so, but thing I do know about him, he wouldn't be even contemplating running the horse if he wasn't 110%. You know what he's like, being so picky about where he sends his horses. New Approach runs well fresh, as we know.

 You're terrible! He is fearless, damnit. There should be an award for bravery in his honor. Linngari and Oracle West both..... two of my favorite globetrotters. Gotta love the boys who try to beat the monsters.

Well look at this. From DRF... New Approach, Duke of Marmalade Likely to Scratch (apologies to) ALAN SHUBACK The Group 1, $978,000 Juddmonte International Stakes at York on Tuesday was to feature a scintillating clash of the generations with both 3-year-old Epsom Derby winner New Approach and 4-year-old King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Duke of Marmalade. Trained by Jim Bolger, New Approach had been absent since his half-length victory in the Epsom classic on June 7. In Duke of Marmalade he would have been facing the winner of four Group 1 races this year. All plans were put on hold by both camps with the shock announcement early today that dual G1 winner Linngari is a possible runner. "Why enter when we'd be running for second or third?", a deflated Bolger somberly replied. Aidan O'Brien was unavailable for comment.

You keep dreaming.
However, with the amount of rain they had at York last night, it wouldn't surprise me to see all three of them taken out. The ground is heavy there right now. At this rate, Michael Phelps should be favourite

It says it all when Ryan has chosen to ride Rob Roy over Linngari.

Linngari now doubtful. Happy?
  All he gets is a single sentence on RP and no picture. Bastards. I like Stubbs..... no reason why he couldn't be 3rd here. Looks like the Duke will run... http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/n...Nightlead.html Last edited by my miss storm cat : 08-18-2008 at 11:52 AM.
