Cotai glory team consider options

Charlie Hills has raised the possibility of his rapid two-year-old Cotai Glory running in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp if the ground is suitable.

The juvenile looked poised to add the Flying Childers at Doncaster to the Molecomb Stakes he won at Goodwood when he jinked and unceremoniously dumped George Baker on the turf just yards from the line.

He again showed blistering speed though, and in receipt of all the allowances in France, he could take some catching.

However, Hills will be hoping the weather in France stays dry as Cotai Glory thrives

"What happened to Cotai Glory and George has been a major talking point, but the main thing is both the horse and jockey are OK and we live to fight another day," said Hill on his website, www.charleshills.com.

"He's clearly one of the fastest things on four legs over five furlongs and we will watch the weather as regards his next run.

"There's only really the Abbaye and the Cornwallis for him and he must have fast ground. If the ground changes you may not see him again this year, but we've got something special to look forward to next year."

Hills enjoyed a good St Leger meeting, highlighted by the victory of back-to-form Kiyoshi in the Sceptre Stakes.

"At the other end of the spectrum we were thrilled to see Kiyoshi back in the winners enclosure," he said.

"She's really come to herself in the last month and it's been well documented she did a great bit of work in the cheek pieces. Jamie gave her a fantastic ride and at the moment we are leaning towards running her in the Sun Chariot (October 4, Newmarket), where she'd have to have a great chance."
