Trainer Saeed bin Suroor is eyeing October’s Champions Day at Ascot as a potential comeback date for his sidelined stable star Farhh.
Placed in five consecutive Group One events last season – beating all bar Frankel in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood and the Juddmonte International at York – Farhh made a sparkling return to action in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May.
A setback in early June meant the Godolphin-owned five-year-old was forced to miss an intended trip to Royal Ascot, while connections have subsequently ruled out a second attempt at the Sussex Stakes on July 31.
Bin Suroor suggests Farhh could return in either the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over a mile, or step back up to a mile and a quarter for the Champion Stakes, with both races run on Champions Day on October 19.
“He’s all right and the options are open for him later in the season,” said the trainer.
“It could be that we wait until Champions Day, where he could either run over a mile or a mile and a quarter.”
