Pride Won't Run in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare
Breeders' Cup contender Pride won't be running in the 2006 Filly and Mare Turf, said Pride's trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre on Tuesday. Pride recently galloped to victory in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket, following close on the heels (or should that be hooves?) of her victory in the Prix de l'Arc on October 1st.
Owner Sven Hanson would have been required to shell out big time for the unnominated Pride, and this probably played a role in the decision not to run her at the Cup. At an additional $180K for the Filly & Turf, and $270 for the Turf, Hanson's looking more favorably now at the Japan Cup on November 26th in Hong Kong.
Also on the Filly & Mare front, no decision yet from the trainer of Vacare, Chris Block, as to whether or not the unbeaten winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup will be running on the 4th. The final decision will be taken by Robert Lothenbrach of Lothenbrath Stables, who has only run Pride once anywhere else besides nearby Arlington Park -- and that in her QEII win!
