Horde for Haydock
Cox eyes Sprint Cup with Royal Ascot winner.
The Sprint Cup at Haydock is next on the agenda for Clive Cox’s speedball Golden Horde. A high-class juvenile last season, the son of his trainer’s former stable star Lethal Force made the perfect start to his three-year-old career by claiming Royal Ascot glory in the Commonwealth Cup. He had to make do with an honourable third when taking on his elders in the July Cup at Newmarket, before finishing a close-up fifth in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville.

He is still only a baby in comparison to those he was up against in the Maurice de Gheest. “As a three-year-old, he is taking his racing really well, and I’m happy with him. “He travelled really kindly in the Maurice de Gheest, but I think the last 100 yards was just a step too far after racing competitively throughout.”
