Termagant sprung a 16-1 surprise in the $357,000, Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday as she slogged her way to a 2 1/2-length victory over the 66-1 Famous, who was in the race solely as a pacesetter for Coolmore's odds-on favorite Lillie Langtry.

The Aga Khan is breaking relations with bad-boy jockey Christophe Soumillon. An official statement from the Aga Khan's camp on Tuesday stated that "human relations have become difficult" with the Belgian-born Soumillon, so they will part company at the end of this season, ending a lucrative eight-year partnership that included Arc victories with Dalakhani and Zarkava.

Soumillon made some disparaging comments about the height of Andre Fabre at a gala dinner in Deauville this week, incurring the wrath of the French racing establishment.

The Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita is but one of many possibilities for European trainers, although it should be a port of first call for many this year, given the success they had at Santa Anita last year.

Long Lashes can take advantage of heavy ground at the Curragh on Sunday to win the Group 1, $359,000 Moyglare Stud Stakes. The winner gets an automatic spot in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Zacinto gets his acid test at Goodwood on Saturday when he meets Delegator in the Group 2, $163,000 Celebration Mile.

The six-length victory of Canford Cliffs in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot earned a Racing Post Rating of 119, better than any juvenile in Europe.
