If Juddmonte want to win their own sponsored race at York, that would rule out the Marois.
I believe they’ve now said probably Sussex and then International for Field of Gold.

“I wouldn’t be sure Keane would have won the English Guineas on him”.
Yes he would. It was a moderate ride by Shoemark and he got the best horse in the race beaten. That’s why he got sacked.
I don’t see how anyone can argue Field Of Gold didn’t like the track at Newmarket when only two weeks earlier he had won the Craven Stakes by three and a half lengths.
……………..I thought Tuesday produced a well deserved exoneration of Shoemark, who was accused of lying too far out of his ground at Newmarket and asking for his effort too late. Keane was even farther out of his ground and asked Field Of Gold at least as ‘late’ as KS did, possibly later.
The difference of course was that on Tuesday Field Of Gold did what KS had expected him to do at Newmarket. Instead, the horse put his head in the air, wandered around, and took 350 yards to find any acceleration. Whether it was the odd intricacies of the dip at Newmarket where furrows, like waves, run across the track, bamboozling some horses, who knows? What I know is I spent quite a while on Twitter at the time defending the ride!
(Good to see TRF flourishing with all the famed names still around!).
