The Darley July Cup | Armchair Jockeys

The Darley July Cup | Armchair Jockeys. The Darley July Cup, Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (sponsored by Betfair), succeeding 3 races within the QIPCO British Champions Series, are the main target of attention within the latest programme by the Armchair Jockeys.

Regular pundits Lydia Hislop and Steve Mellish are joined by Chris Dixon to open the programme with an in-depth feature on Saturday's Darley July Cup, the highlight of the Piper Heidsieck July pageant on Newmarket's July Course, a race that thus usually identifies Europe's prime sprinter.

This includes an historical look into three-year olds that have taken the Classic route before switching their focus to sprinting, furthermore as an interview with jockey Michael Hills, who is most impressed with Aussie sprinter Ortensia when riding work on her.
