Last year's champion 3-year-old colt Cracksman (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will not travel to Dubai for the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic on Mar. 31 and will instead target the Apr. 29 G1 Prix Ganay at Longchamp for his 4-year-old debut, Racing Post reports.
“Dubai is not now happening for Cracksman but he seems fresh and well in himself and the plan would be to take him to the Ganay, which returns to Longchamp this year,” Gosden said after Cracksman worked on the Al Bahathri in Newmarket on Friday. “Other races he'll be entered in are the G1 Tattersalls Cup at The Curragh and the G1 Coronation Cup at Epsom in June.”
Of his other stable star, the 2017 Cartier Horse of the Year Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), Gosden added, “Enable is fine despite all the cold weather and is cantering away nicely but there's no decision on when she will appear just yet.”
