I'm looking to seeing how US horses fare at Ascot!
Ward Eyes Royal Ascot with Four Juveniles
Bloodhorse
Trainer Wesley Ward sent out four Royal Ascot hopefuls, all 2-year-olds, for four-furlong drills the morning May 26 at Arlington Park International Racecourse.
Spanish Pipedream, owned by Gatewood Bell, and Hootenanny, whom Ward owns in partnership with Ken Donworth and Ben McElroy, worked in tandem, while Ten Broeck Farm's To Be Determined and Hat Creek Racing's Lindy completing the second team.
Last year, Ward used prep work over the Arlington turf for No Nay Never en route to victory in the Norfolk Stakes (Eng-II) and subsequent glory in the Prix Morny (Fr-I) at Deauville in France.
Ward, who became the first United States trainer to saddle a winner at Royal Ascot when two of his juveniles won races there in 2009, is also the only American conditioner to win a stakes on the Royal Ascot card—and has done so three times.
In addition to No Nay Never last year, he also annexed two fixtures on the 2009 card: the Queen Mary (Eng-II) with Jealous Again and Windsor Castle Stakes with Strike the Tiger.
