Ace Impact, a brilliant winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October, only showed depth of his ability winning the Prix du Jockey Club at odds of nearly 9-1 in early June. Whoever comes out on top of this year’s renewal of France’s derby on Sunday at Chantilly is, like Ace Impact, a horse who has who has not yet revealed his potential.

Shortly after Tannhauser lost his seventh consecutive group stakes in Australia in April, he was gelded.
The change worked. Tannhauser rebounded to win the Group 3 Rough Habit Stakes at 1 1/4 miles at Doomben Racecourse in Brisbane on May 18 as a prep for Friday’s Group 1 Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm, also in Brisbane.
It is expected to be an eventful day at Eagle Farm for Tannhauser, even after the race.
In the hours following the $633,800 Queensland Derby at 1 1/2 miles, Tannhauser is scheduled to be sold, according to media reports in Australia.
It’s remarkable that either Aidan O’Brien or John Gosden has trained the Oaks winner the last 10 years. O’Brien has six victories during that span, Gosden four, last year’s with his son Thady down as co-trainer. Gosden is not winning the 2024 Oaks on Friday at Epsom because he has no runner in the 1 1/2-mile race. O’Brien starts two, the three-race maiden Rubies Are Red and Ylang Ylang, the favorite with English bookmakers on Wednesday.

Marching towards a seventh Hong Kong jockeys’ championship, Zac Purton hopes Triumphant Warrior can extend the Australian’s recent hot form when Danny Shum’s charge contests the second section of the Class 4 Hin Yiu Handicap (1200m) at Sha Tin’s eight-race all-dirt meeting on Wednesday night (29 May).
