Michael Owen’s Flaming Rib Supplemented For July Cup
The part-owned Flaming Rib @ 17/2 with 10Bet was one of the big talking points ahead of the July Cup on Tuesday after connections stumped up thr £36,000 supplement fee to get their classy 3 year-old into Saturday’s Group One race.
He was last seen in action at Royal Ascot when running second toPerfect Power in the Commonwealth Cup and with his conqeror also in the race we are set up for a fascinating rematch.
DID YOU KNOW 19 of the last 20 July Cup winners were aged 5 or younger
Perfect Power Heads July Cup Betting
It’s the Richard Fahey-trained Perfect Power @ 2/1 with 10Bet though that still heads the betting with the bookmakers. The 115-rated winner of the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last month will be looking to add fourth Group One to his CV and so far when running over this 6f trip has a record of 3 wins from four tries.
He landed the Group One Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket last September but that was on their Rowley Mile course – this will be his first run on the July course. Christophe Soumillon, who has built up a strong partnership with the horse, is expected to ride.
However, a small word of warning, as there is a chance that Perfect Power might head to France on Sunday instead of running in the July Cup. He’s also entered in the Jean Prat at Deauville, which is run over a furlong longer trip (7f).
“We don’t know where he’s going and we’ll wait until the last minute,” he said on Monday. “We would prefer to go to Newmarket as the July Cup is a bit more prestigious, but there’s the alternative of the Prix Jean Prat on Sunday.
“He’s working tomorrow and we’re leaving it all to Richard as he gets it right. It depends on the rain and how much water they’re going to put on at Newmarket. He really wants easier ground, which he’ll probably get in Deauville.” Bruce Raymond (Racing manager) told the Racing Post.
16 Runners Stand Their Ground For 2022 July Cup
Away from Perfect Power and the recently supplemented Flaming Rib, other names that remain in the fray to run on Saturday are the Australian sprinter – Artorius, who was last seen running third in the Platinum Jubilee Stakes and is generally the second favourite with most bookies. While the winner of that race – Naval Crown – and runner-up –Creative Force – also stand their ground.
Trainer Aidan O’Brien has won the July Cup five times in the past and will be pinning his hopes this year on Commonwaelth Cup fourth – Cadamosto, who is another of the 16 July Cup runners still holding an entry.
Of those taken out – Highfield Princess – was one of the big names that will miss the race, but the likes ofAlcohol Free, Happy Romance andRomantic Proposal are still engaged.
