No British coach has proven to be more expert in looting large awards in which William Haggas has ambitious plans for one of the royal family horses.
Desert Hero gave King Charles an enormous emotion in Royal Ascot in June 2023, arriving with a thunderous late race to take the disability of King Jorge V; He went to win Gordon's bets in Glorious Goodwood before acting with a great distinction in St Leger in Doncaster.
Things never worked for Desert Hero last summer and the castrated has not been ongo Team that Haggas sends to Australia.
Haggas has enjoyed his incursions to Sydney and has won several awards of group one in his spring carnival; He also got a huge pot last October with Colt Lake Forest from Brighton's owner, who won the golden eagle of $ 10 million.
Certainly, there are opportunities for Desert Hero, whom Haggas considered running in the Melbourne Cup at one stage. He will join the Somerville Stable Travel Squadron for the stable colleagues to Mubhir, Marama and the experienced traveler Dubai Honor.
Closer to home, Haggas is already thinking about Royal Ascot for the stable stable economy. The Colt was a brilliant winner of The Dante Stakes and Irish Champion Stakes last season, along with the Daauville Guillaume D'Onano award, but failed in Qipco Champion bets in his last start in October.

The king was delighted to see the career of the horse's thunderous until the end in the famous course.
The economy had blood from its nasal pit that afternoon, but Haggas is a teacher to take horses to their peak and is anxious for the perspective of letting the foal release in the good summer ground when all the best races in Mile and fourth will be on his agenda.
Tenting price for Henderson's horse in Cheltenham
Nicky Henderson was busy preaching caution in his seven barba courtyard earlier this week, wisely explaining that there is no guarantee form in the races.
Henderson, the master coach, has a great probability of adding to his 73 victories at the Festival in Cheltenham next month and with Aces to play as Constitution Hill in the champion Hurdle, Jonbon in Queen Mother Champion Chase and Lulumba in the JCB Triumph Hurdle is likely to be four fruitful days.
Sometimes, when you make these stable visits, you collect vibrations around certain horses and there was a definitive positivity around the prospects of Lucky Place, which has won both beginnings this season and is aimed at Stayers' obstacle.
The three -mile trip is an unknown amount, but Henderson issued great confidence that Lucky Place will not run out of resistance and that he was not afraid to face the leaders of the Teahupoo market and the home for the Lee. He remains 8/1 for the Stayers. It is a tempting price.

Orange's obstacles in Cheltenham and Aintree were changed after a decision of the Jockey Club
The welfare of the horses was essential in their thoughts, with the new obstacles, which cost about £ 1,000, considered 11 percent safer than those before and that has certainly proven to be the case, with significantly less falls than in previous seasons.
Apart from that, however, they have also reaped economically dividends. At this stage of last season, about 100 obstacles have been broken during the races in Cheltenham and it was a considerable cost to replace them. Until now in the current campaign, only 11 have broken in nine days of races.
The best example is this: when Constitution Hill advanced on the last flight during Unibet's international obstacle on January 25, he hit the panel to such strength and speed, he should have been destroyed and should have fallen. Both, happily, came out unharmed.

Super Saturday at the racing calendar
