Shergar Cup . . .
This weekend sees the interesting and novel Shergar Cup card at Ascot on Saturday. Those that are declared do not choose their Jockeys, this is done by a random ballot and Jockeys are racing in four teams throughout the meeting. There are:
Great Britain and Ireland team – Kieren Fallon, James Doyle & Kevin Manning
Rest of the World team – Gary Stevens, Yasunari Iwata & Joao Moreira
The Girls team – Rosie Napravnik, Lisa Allpress & Cathy Gannon
Europe team – Gerald Mosse, Ioritz Mendizabal & Andrasch Strarke
We have three runners in the Shergar Cup Dash at 2.05pm. We have Prohibit, who won it for us in 2010, Pandar and Jiroft. We were drawn the following Jockeys:
PROHIBIT – Lisa Allpress for the Girls team
PANDAR – Kieren Fallon for the GB & Ireland team
JIROFT – Gerald Mosse for the Europe team
As always it will be an interesting afternoon, fingers crossed for a winner in the Dash . . .
