In March and April, Ligulate won two six-figure races at Tamworth Racecourse in Australia before and after an eighth-place finish in a much tougher race at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney.
Ligulate ended that portion of the year with a nose win in the Tamworth Cup in April, his final start before being rested through the Australian winter. Monday, Ligulate will be favored in his first start of a spring campaign in a six-furlong handicap at Tamworth that drew a field of 12.

Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.
2:30 WO 1st MALIBU UPROAR (#7, 9-2) won his penultimate start/season opener at this level on the grass. You can ignore his last dull race, which was taken off the turf. -Ron Gierkink
The great French trainer Jean-Claude Rouget told Scott Burton of the Racing Post earlier this week that he believed 3-year-old fillies Love and Raabihah occupied the top positions on his list of contenders for the 2020 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Love, the Aidan O’Brien-trained smashing winner of the Epsom Oaks, won the Yorkshire Oaks last month and is being trained up to the Oct. 4 Arc. Rouget should have a fairly good read on Raabihah since he trains her.
Realm of Flowers had an ideal conclusion to her Australian autumn campaign in May with a first career group stakes win in the Group 3 South Australia Fillies Classic at Morphettville Racecourse.
Realm of Flowers made a sharp rise through the class ranks in the first five months of the year, going from a maiden race winner at a mile in January to the win in the South Australia Fillies Classic at 1 9/16 miles.

Phoenix Thoroughbreds, the global racing operation founded and run by Amer Abdulaziz Salman, has been banned by the British Horseracing Authority in the wake of money-laundering allegations involving a fund run by Salman.
In a statement, the BHA said that the stable’s runners will be banned “until further notice,” and that all accounts associated with the stable have been “suspended.” Phoenix Thoroughbreds, which has operations in Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and the U.S., runs a number of horses in partnership with other racing entities.
