Today at Glorious Goodwood, the Nassau Stakes is taking place and there is more Group One action to look forward to. Aidan O’Brien, a four-time winner of the Nassau, is relying on Opera Singer, a daughter of US Triple Crown winner Justify. Opera Singer had a remarkable victory at the Prix Marcel Boussac last season but hasn’t reached the same level of success this year. However, she is expected to improve as she steps up to 10 furlongs for the first time.
Another strong contender in the Nassau Stakes is Emily Upjohn, a high-class five-year-old filly trained by John and Thady Gosden. In her recent race, she finished a close second and is showing great potential. The race is expected to be competitive, and surprises are not uncommon in the Nassau. Elmalka, who showed stamina in the 1000 Guineas, is also a contender for an upset in the race.
The Kincsem Handicap is the opening race of the day at Goodwood and is shaping up to be fiercely competitive. Midnight Gun, a horse from New Wathnan Racing, is a favorite for the race after a strong performance at Newmarket. However, Palace Green, a horse highly regarded by trainer Richard Hughes, is also a strong contender. Into Battle, with good form and a step up in trip, is another horse to watch in the race.
In conclusion, the races at Glorious Goodwood promise excitement and tough competition. With top contenders like Opera Singer, Emily Upjohn, Palace Green, and Into Battle, the day is set to be thrilling for horse racing enthusiasts. Keep an eye out for potential upsets and surprises, as the races unfold at one of the most prestigious events in the racing calendar.
