'Dutch' Camp Considering Sussex

Dutch Connection | Racing Post

Charlie Hills is considering letting Dutch Connection (GB) (Dutch Art {Gb}) take his chance in the G1 Qatar Sussex S. at Goodwood July 29. The 3-year old followed up his win in the G3 Jersey S at Royal Ascot with a solid second behind Territories (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) on his return to a mile in the G1 Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly July 12. Although Hills has yet to firm up his final plans, he has stressed that the mile contest is on the radar.

Hills said, “We are going to keep half an eye on the Sussex S. and see how that unfolds. Two weeks is a long time in horse racing and anything can happen. It could be that the [G2] Celebration Mile [Aug. 29] at the track is his main target though. He put on 10 kilos from his run at Ascot to his run in France on Sunday. The great thing is that Cheveley Park want to keep him in training next year so we won't go to the well too often with him for the rest of this season.”
