Global Entries For Royal Ascot

Newspaperofrecord could run at Royal Ascot | Coady

Royal Ascot has released the entries for its Group 1 races and four of its Group 2 races and, as has become customary, an international cast is expected to descend upon Berkshire on June 18 to 22. Entries have been received from nine countries: the UK, Ireland, France, the Czech Republic, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and the U.S.

In addition to all the top names from Europe, the U.S.-trained contingent includes dual GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Stormy Liberal (Stormy Atlantic) and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf winner Newspaperofrecord (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). Wesley Ward, the trainer of 10 Royal Ascot winners, has four entered thus far including previous Royal Ascot visitor and placegetter Bound for Nowhere (The Factor). Ward's numbers are certain to increase once the juvenile race entries are revealed.

Australia brings a formidable pair of sprinters in three-time Group 1 placegetter Zousain (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}) and dual Group 3 winner Houtzen (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}), while Enzo's Lad (Aus) (Testa Rossa {Aus}) would become just the second New Zealand-trained runner at the Royal meeting. He is entered for both the G1 King's Stand S. and G1 Diamond Jubilee S.
