Elusive Kate has given jockey William Buick and trainer John Gosden yet another Group One win in a golden summer with victory in the Prix Rothschild at Deauville.

Lady Rothschild will let trainer John Gosden decide whether her star colt Nathaniel will lock horns with Frankel in the Juddmonte International at York. The pair met on their respective debuts in what must be one of the hottest juvenile maidens of all time back in August 2010, with Frankel [...]
