Gosden and Godolphin hit top level
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jimmy Fortune, aboard the John Gosden-trained Mount Abu, prevented Godolphin from collecting both Group One prizes on offer in Europe yesterday when winning the Prix de la Forêt at Longchamp at odds of 16.7-1. China Visit, with Jamie Spencer sporting Godolphin's royal blue silks, was two lengths away in second, James Fanshawe's Warningford was a short-neck away in third and Ian Balding's Nicobar fourth.
However, Frankie Dettori had correctly opted for a trip to Milan and the more valuable Premio Vittorio di Capua in which he rode Slickly to a six-length romp at odds of 1-5.
At the Curragh, Aidan O'Brien won the Group Three Beresford Stakes for a sixth successive year when Castle Gandolfo easily beat six opponents in heavy ground. Doncaster's Racing Post Trophy is his target.
O'Brien's Tasmanian Tiger, a $6.8m yearling, started the 5-4 favourite for the opening maiden stakes, but could finish only third to Solid Approach.
