ISSUE 178 RACING AHEAD 27
Gosden won the prize for the first time
last year and is sure to be keen on fol-
lowing up, but the Sir Michael Stoute
stable is the one with the best record.
Okay, they’ve not won the prize since
1996, but the Stoute camp have
recorded three wins in the Ebor
between 1980 and 1996 - so maybe
they are due another!
Finally, being run over 1m 6f it’s also
a race some of the National Hunt yard
tend to target – especially the Irish
ones. Since 2009 we’ve had winners
for the Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott,
Johnny Murtagh and Tony Martin, so
anything any Irish-based yard sends
over should certainly be given a
second glance.
Good luck and have a great month!
