TogglePaddington and Inspiral Set for Thrilling Clash at Goodwood
A fierce battle is on the cards as Paddington, trained by Aidan O’Brien, aims to secure his fourth consecutive Group One victory in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Having started the season in handicap races, Paddington has shown remarkable progress by triumphing in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes, and Coral-Eclipse. Although he recently triumphed over 10 furlongs, this week he returns to a mile distance to take on John and Thady Gosden’s formidable three-time Group One winner Inspiral.
Inspiral suffered defeat against Triple Time during her sole appearance this season in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. However, she will undoubtedly be seeking redemption under jockey Frankie Dettori as he bids farewell to racing after an illustrious career. The field of six features other strong contenders such as Aldaary from William Haggas’ stable, Chindit trained by Richard Hannon, Roger Varian’s Charyn and French challenger Facteur Cheval.
