The Queen's Dartmouth (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) could sign off his 2016 international campaign in Hong Kong with the G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase Dec. 11 on the agenda for the colt. Dartmouth will also remain in training in 2017 with Sir Michael Stoute; the 4-year-old having established himself as a genuine international top-level campaigner. Most recently he acquitted himself well when second to Erupt (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the GI Pattison Canadian International.
The Queen's bloodstock and racing advisor John Warren commented, “Hong Kong is on the radar, but the decision as to his participation will be down to the wire. We haven't discounted the idea of the Hong Kong Vase. He has been very well since his second in the Canadian International. The horse has been tremendously consistent all year and it is absolutely the plan that he will stay in training next year.”
