Memory Takes A Break


Richard Hannon's talented filly Memory will not be taking up her engagement at Newmarket later this week as connections prefer to wait for the Cheveley Park Stakes.

The juvenile was big disappointment in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on her latest outing but her trainer is confident she will bounce back to form when she lines up at Headquarters on October 1.

"Memory breezed and is fine, but we left her in at Newmarket as it was a free entry and it was always the intention to wait for the Cheveley Park," Hannon told his website www.richardhannonracing.tv.

"She had no chance from that coffin box draw in Ireland, and I hope that she'll show everyone how good she really is at Newmarket."

Although Memory will not be lining up in Friday's £100,000 Tattersalls Millions Fillies' Auction Stakes, her stable companion Date With Destiny, the sole progeny of the ill-fated George Washington, will take her chance.

Hannon added: "Date of Destiny could not handle the soft ground in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood, but she had looked a bit special when winning her maiden at Newbury and this has always been the plan for her."
