Ascot And Hong Kong On Force Agenda

3 minute read

Saturday's Sprint Cup winner G Force has been pencilled in for a first overseas trip with Hong Kong on the agenda.

Gordon Lord Byron settles for second Picture: Racing and Sports

Yet another remarkable success story for Middleham Park Racing, who snapped the Tamayuz colt up from Qatar Racing as a once-raced maiden for Richard Hannon and sent him to David O'Meara.

G Force has rapidly graduated to the top level, sticking his neck out to stop Gordon Lord Byron from defending his crown, and connections are now looking at an appearance in the big sprint at Ascot on Champions Day.

Middleham Park's Nick Bradley told At The Races: "I think we'll miss the Abbaye and stick to six (furlongs) for now.

"There is a race at Ascot coming up. It's a Group Two, but I've been told we don't get any penalties for that race.

"Then there is a race at Sha Tin on December 14. Adrian Beaumont (International Racing Bureau) was on the phone last night and thinks we'll get an invite for that race, so it would be nice to go over there and if Sole Power goes they can have the rematch."
