Ribchester thriving after Moulin success - all roads to the QEII


Richard Fahey is already looking forward to Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot with Ribchester.

The Godolphin-owned colt got back to winning ways with another gritty display in the Prix du Moulin, banishing memories of his only defeat this season in the Sussex Stakes.

That was his third Group One of the season over a mile and it is hard not to see him being crowned champion at the distance come the awards season.

Earlier in the campaign a step up in trip was mooted, but he will stick to eight furlongs at Ascot in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Sky Bet make Ribchester 3/1 favourite for the QEII.

"He's come out of last weekend in great from and I'm very lucky to have him," said Fahey.

"He's a very tough horse, he takes his racing really well and I'm very happy with him.

"There's nowhere else to go other than the QEII so hopefully we can get him there in one piece."
