Stewards' Cup - 3rd August 2013 |
Hat-Trick Seeking Harrison George on Target for Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood 17/07/13
Harrison George will be chasing a hat-trick when he lines up in the £100,000 Stewards' Cup over six furlongs on the final day of Glorious Goodwood, Saturday, August 3.
The PJ O'Gorman-trained eight-year-old is one of 121 horses who remain in the famous six-furlong heritage handicap following yesterday's scratching stage, details of which are announced today.
Harrison George recorded his first success for almost three years in a valuable handicap at Nottingham on June 13, with the application of first-time blinkers, and followed up with a comfortable length and a quarter victory at Leicester on June 27. Natasha Eaton, a 5lb claiming apprentice, was in the saddle on both occasions.
Newmarket-based O'Gorman reported: "Harrison George will have a racecourse gallop between now and Goodwood and it looks as if he has a good chance of getting into the Stewards' Cup.
"At the minute, it looks like we will be taking him to Lingfield next week, where he will work with Monsieur Chevalier, but that is still a little bit up in the air at the moment.
"He has been fine since Leicester and the blinkers and Natasha seemed to have made a big difference.
"He is a nice horse and we put the blinkers on because I was bit surprised that he was getting beat. He didn't seem to be quite finishing his races off and he wasn't blowing hard afterwards either so we thought we'd change something.
"Natasha has also made a massive difference. She rode him once at Lingfield and he nearly fell over coming out of the gate and ripped a shoe off but still battled hard to finish second. He obviously prefers her to the likes of Kieren Fallon or Martin Dwyer.
"He is eight now and has had foot problems so he probably won't be getting back to quite where he was. They can lose interest and that's why I haven't run him again because, while this combination is working, I didn't want to disappoint him and the Stewards' Cup would be a lovely race to win.
"He has run well at Goodwood in the past so the track is fine and I would be hopeful of a good performance."
There is a maximum field of 28 for the Stewards' Cup, which has a £35,000 consolation race (the Stewards' Sprint Handicap) as the first race on the final day of Glorious Goodwood, and Harrison George, with 8st 9lb, is at the moment number 40 in the list of potential runners.
O'Gorman only has a small number of horses in his care but boasts a Glorious Goodwood winner - Albaqaa in 2011 - and this year has already equalled his best tally of five winners in a year.
