Illustrious Blue
What was a thrilling victory for locals when Arundal's handsome seven-year-old Illustrious Blue (Dansili) won the Artemis Goodwood Cup (Group 2), 2m, by 1-1/4 lengths, was spoiled for many.
Favourite Age Of Aquarius IRE (Galileo IRE) led the race at a ferocious pace across the demanding, undulating course until his leg gave way.
I promptly burst into tears (considering how raw my feelings were after the death of Godolphin's three-year-old Film Story on Tuesday).
Age Of Aquarius has ruptured his off-fore (right-front) ligaments and may not race again. Just so he survives.
Tactic (Sadler's Wells USA) also suffered unspecified injuries on the very dry and fast ground.
Trainer William Knight will aim Illustrious Blue at the Melbourne Cup.
