REFLECTIONS ON ROYAL ASCOT AND CONCLUSION OF THE JOURNEY
Sunday, June 23, 2013

by Craig Bandoroff  TDN My friend Barry Irwin tells me I’m not a writer, but I guess I fancy myself as one anyway. I thought I’d share my Royal Ascot experience and the conclusion of our amazing journey with Animal Kingdom. As you all know, it didn’t quite end the way we hoped. After time […]

AMERICANS ABROAD
Thursday, June 20, 2013

Animal Kingdom’s quest to become the first grade or group I winner on three different surfaces–and on three different continents to boot–fizzled ingloriously June 18 in the Queen Anne Stakes (Eng-I) at Royal Ascot. Nonetheless, it was a noble attempt and a sporting gesture by the colt’s owners. It was also one of the relatively […]

ASCOT FORM: FIRST TWO DAYS

It is the best week of racing anywhere in the world. There are a lot of great horse racing events—weekends and carnivals–but nothing quite rivals the racing at Royal Ascot. This year, so far, the weather has been great, the ground quite fast (and not yet soft, at least, and not really likely to be), […]

ANIMAL KINGDOM CONNECTIONS PHILOSOPHICAL ABOUT DEFEAT

Despite starting a pronounced favorite in his swan song at Royal Ascot, dual Gr1 winner and 2013 Arrowfield Stud freshman Animal Kingdom was unable to produce the heroics in the Gr1 Queen Anne Stakes that saw him finish first or second in 5 previous Gr1 performances (including dominant victories in both the Gr1 Kentucky Derby […]

FAREWELL ANIMAL KINGDOM
Wednesday, June 19, 2013

ANIMAL KINGDOM declared war on Royal Ascot, but he beat a hasty retreat in Tuesday’s Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes. To be honest, Animal Kingdom gave a dismal performance in England. Studdish in the paddock and rank when unable to find cover in the early stages, Animal Kingdom never threatened and faded to eleventh in […]

AT ROYAL ASCOT WITH BARRY IRWIN

About 25 minutes after walking calmly around the pre-parade ring at Royal Ascot today prior to the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes, Animal Kingdom suddenly stopped, turning his head left as his nostrils flared while he took in a scent, and dropped his penis and started acting stubborn. Alice Clapham, his traveling “head lad” from […]

DRAPE: NO SHAME IN ANIMAL KINGDOM’S DEFEAT AT ASCOT
Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Animal Kingdom came and saw Royal Ascot, but he did not conquer it. “Not that there was any shame in that,” writes the New York Times’ Joe Drape, who is in England for the venerable race course’s 302nd meeting. Sure, there was disappointment on the faces of the connections, including Team Valor’s Barry Irwin and […]

ANIMAL KINGDOM FALLS FLAT AT ASCOT

ASCOT, England — Queen Elizabeth II had made it look so easy. Sharing her carriage with Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, she led the royal procession uphill on the mile-long racecourse straightaway as if they were on an escalator. Britain’s monarch had no sign of tremor in her wave and Prince […]

RUN AT ROYAL ASCOT

The Kentucky Derby/Dubai World Cup winner Animal Kingdom (Leroidesanimaux) was the heavily backed even favorite in the Queen Anne S.-G1 at Royal Ascot but he looked uncomfortablethroughout and was soon outpaced two furlongs from home. Animal Kingdom’s trainer Graham Motion said after the race, “It took the wind out of our sails. There was a […]
