David Redvers | Spirit Quartz set for Goodwood

Posted by Unknown on Friday, June 29, 2012


David Redvers | Spirit Quartz set for Goodwood. David Redvers is racing manager for Qatar Racing and there have been many encouraging performances for horses that run beneath that banner at the Royal meeting.

Robert Cowell-trained four-year-old Spirit Quartz ran the race of his life to complete fifth in Tuesday's King's Stand Stakes.

"I was delighted with Spirit Quartz. He ran an amazing race and he is an improving horse," said Redvers.

"Robert is doing an impressive job with him and he'll in all probability opt for the King George Stakes at Goodwood next.

"After that, he may frame into a horse for the Prix de l'Abbaye."

Qatar racing had 2 runners within the Norfolk Stakes, with Ahern and Cay Verde finishing fifth and sixth respectively.

The former ran a very eyecatching race on simply his second racecourse look.

"Ahern was one amongst the important positives to come back out of the week. though he did not end within the frame, i assumed it absolutely was a massively encouraging run," said Redvers.

"He's such a powerful horse each physically and temperament-wise. I hope there's lots to appear forward to with him.

"I'll speak to David however he may run in one thing just like the July Stakes at Newmarket.

"Things never very found out for Cay Verde and Craig Williams felt he wasn't effective on that ground," said Redvers.

"I recognize he won on the bottom before at Ascot, however we have a tendency to simply assume he'll be a much better horse on a sounder surface. He may opt for the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood - hopefully it stops raining."

"I perceive that Cheveley Park were keen for him to remain in Newmarket and it's hoped that a amendment of scenery can do the trick.

"I've got a powerful hand of sprinters currently, some we've brought through and others we've bought in - it is a division i actually relish.

"He's older than the others. He'll arrive tomorrow however he is missed 0.5 a season therefore we have a tendency to'll see where we are.

"I've been given free rein to examine where we have a tendency to are however there is a chance he could pop out at Goodwood before heading for the Nunthorpe.
