Chindit advertises 2000 Guineas claims following workmanlike return
Sun 18 Apr 2021
Watch a full replay of the Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes at Newbury plus reaction from winning-trainer Richard Hannon.
Chindit is Newmarket-bound after getting on top close home to win the Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes at Newbury.
Richard Hannon’s Champagne Stakes winner was the 7-4 market leader, despite disappointing on soft ground in the Dewhurst when he was last seen.
But he was made to work extremely hard by Archie Watson’s previously unbeaten Mehmento, who had won both his starts at Southwell.

Frankel, Olympic Glory, Kingman, Muharaar, Barney Roy and Mohaather. Listing those super six would be a plausible answer to the question: name a handful of the best three-year-olds in the last ten years. Their significance here is they all won the Greenham on the way to the top.
Given the recent roll of honour and a murky 2,000 Guineas picture with just a month to go until the Newmarket Classic, the question is will we see a new miler jump to the top of the colt s pecking order.

John and Thady Gosden will saddle the first foal out of Taghrooda s full-sister in the form of
Ubahha, a son of Dubawi, in the mile novice contest (
4.45) at Yarmouth on Tuesday.
The three-year-old Ubahha is out of the winning Taqaareed, a Shadwell homebred and a full-sister to Oaks and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Taghrooda. The pair are out of the multiple stakes-winning Sadler s Wells mare Ezima.
Among the gelding s ten rivals are Godolphin s winning Royal Fleet, a Dubawi half-brother to Group 3 Prix de Ris-Orangis winner and Champagne Stakes runner-up Royal Fleet, and the Queen s twice-raced Chalk Stream, a Sea The Stars half-brother to Group 1 Winx Stakes runner-up Invictus Prince.
WE NEED RIVALRIES, TRIBALISATION AND PLAYERS TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS
Rugby League’s showpiece and biggest success in the sport’s history is the State of Origin that is built on a battleground mentality of ‘mate against mate’ and ‘state versus state’.
AFL, NRL, football (soccer) and The Ashes are all built on the passion for one’s team or nation against the other who supporters have some hatred for.
It drives competition and instils passion into the sport.
Racing needs more Joe Pride’s, a man who speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to stir the pot all in the name of sparking interest in the sport.
