Siskin, who has won all three of his starts by at least two lengths, will be favored against four rivals in Friday’s Group 1 Phoenix Stakes for 2-year-old colts and fillies at the Curragh Racecourse in Ireland.

Trained by Ger Lyons for Juddmonte Farms, Siskin was a winner at the Curragh on June 29  in the Grade 2 Railway Stakes. He won that six-furlong race by 2 1/2 lengths over Monarch of Egypt, a colt by American Pharoah trained by Aidan O’Brien who is part of the field for the $336,360 Phoenix Stakes.

Too Darn Hot, the champion 2-year-old male of Europe in 2018 and the winner of consecutive Group 1 races in July, has been retired after recently undergoing surgery for a hairline fracture in the cannon bone of a rear leg, according to a statement issued by owner Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s Watership Down Stud.

Too Darn Hot emerged from the surgery without complications and is scheduled to stand at Dalham Hall Stud in England next year.

Advertise gave jockey Frankie Dettori his third Group 1 win in the last week in Sunday’s $422,066 Prix Maurice de Gheest at 6 1/2 furlongs on turf at Deauville Racecourse in France.

Sent off as the 2-1 favorite, Advertise was always near the front in the straightaway race. He stalked the pace to the final quarter-mile before taking the lead from Fox Champion. Advertise was challenged in the final furlong by 48-1 Brando and prevailed by a neck. Space Blues (5-1) finished third.

Advertise, winner of Group 1 races in England and Ireland in the last year, will be favored to win his first excursion to France in Sunday’s Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at 6 1/2 furlongs on turf at Deauville Racecourse.

Advertise won the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup for 3-year-olds at Royal Ascot in June and was second to fellow 3-year-old Ten Sovereigns in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket on July 13 in his debut against older horses.

The Japanese mare Deirdre upset the Group 1 Nassau Stakes on Thursday at Goodwood under a sweet rail-skimming ride from Oisin Murphy.

Murphy, hugging the far-side fence through the homestretch, got late-running Deirdre into full stride about three-sixteenths of a mile from the finish of the 1 1/4-mile Nassau and his mount overhauled pacesetting Mehdaayih in the final furlong and was going away as she crossed the line 1 1/4 lengths to the good.

After a cold start to his 3-year-old campaign, the mercury is rising in Too Darn Hot, who fired home with an electric burst to win the Group 1 Sussex Stakes on Wednesday at Goodwood Racecourse.

After a cloudy start to his 2019 season, Europe’s champion 2-year-old of 2018 has warmed to the task in recent weeks. He captured the Prix Jean Prat over a straight seven furlongs at Deauville on July 5 and Too Darn Hot radiated class and talent against a stronger group in the one-mile Sussex.

Trainer John Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori combined to take down the featured race on the first two days of the Glorious Goodwood festival in England this week and have a chance to run that string to three when Mediyaah starts Thursday in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes.

Dettori and Gosden landed the Group 1 Goodwood Cup on Tuesday with Stradivarius and the Group 1 Sussex Stakes on Wednesday with Too Darn Hot, and while Mediyaah isn’t in the same league as those two horses, she might be good enough to win the Nassau, a fillies-and-mares race contested over just less than 1 ¼ miles.

Too Darn Hot can take another step toward restoring his outsized reputation as a 2-year-old when he starts as the favorite in the Group 1 Sussex Stakes on Wednesday at Goodwood Racecourse in England.

Laurens, bred in France and based in England with trainer Karl Burke, won her third Group 1 race in France in Sunday’s $333,840 Prix Rothschild for fillies and mares at a mile at Deauville Racecourse.

Laurens, the 9-5 favorite, was always near the front in the race run on a straightaway. Ridden by P.J. McDonald, Laurens led a group of six runners in the middle of the course through the first half-mile, while three others raced closer to the inside rail.

Enable won her 11th race in a row, but not without a struggle, as Crystal Ocean gave the great mare all she could handle Saturday at Ascot in the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

Overcoming a wide draw and a ground-losing trip under Frankie Dettori, Enable got up onto Crystal Ocean’s back with more than a quarter-mile to run in the 1 1/2-mile King George. Enable forged to a half-length lead with about a furlong-and-a-half remaining before Crystal Ocean battled back along the inside, getting nearly onto even terms with Enable before she finished him off.
