For her third and final transatlantic trip of 2016, the Kentucky-based filly Lady Aurelia will start in Saturday’s $234,000 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse, a race that offers a different test. The Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes is run at six furlongs for 2-year-old fillies over a course with a notable uphill finish.

In 2015, Consort finished third in the Group 1 St. James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, his only appearance in a race at the highest level that season.
Earlier this year, Consort was eighth and fourth in consecutive starts in Group 1 races on the Hong Kong circuit. The losses were part of a winless six-race campaign for the 4-year-old gelding in his first season in Asia in 2015-16.

Three turf handicaps – two at six furlongs and one at about a mile – are the leading races on an eight-race program at Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong on Wednesday. Each of the races, the last three on the program, were oversubscribed with 12-horse fields and also-eligible lists.
Winx, Australia’s leading horse, was the cozy winner of Saturday’s Group 1 George Main Stakes at a mile on turf at Royal Randwick Racecourse outside of Sydney. The $373,300 George Main Stakes was the 11th consecutive win for Winx.
Ridden by Hugh Bowman, Winx (1-11) closed from the back of a field of six to take the lead with a wide rally with more than a furlong remaining. Winx stretched her advantage to 1 1/4 lengths over 13-1 Hauraki in the final sixteenth.
Bad Boy ended the 2015-16 Hong Kong season with wins in two of his last three starts in April and June. The success has left prominent trainer John Moore hopeful that the 4-year-old Australian-bred Bad Boy can excel in higher-class races, including group-level stakes, in the coming months.
On Sunday at Sha Tin, Bad Boy will have his first start of the new season in the $225,567 Yeung UK Handicap at five furlongs on turf. Bad Boy is part of a field of 14 and needs the race, Moore insists.
