Three of my horses started in graded stakes over the last few days and this is how they fared:
General Eliott ran a very respectable 4th behind Eagle Mountain, Bankable and Ordnance Row on Friday 3 October in the Nayef Joel Stakes (G3) at Newmarket. He was beaten by only 3/4 of a length. He had been off since getting injured in the French 2000 Guineas back in May. It was a very good performance and he can only improve from this. I am expecting a lot from him next season and there should be a group win in him, at the very least.
Sugar Swirl finished 3rd in the Thoroughbred Club Of America Stakes (G3) at Keeneland on Saturday 4 October. She was beaten by Indyanne and Wild Games by a total of 4 lengths. Not bad at all.
I saved the best for last. Callwood Dancer ran 2nd behind Godolphin's Folk Opera in the E P Taylor Stakes (G1) at Woodbine on Saturday. She is entered in the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale (hip 578) and the fact that she is now not only a G2 winner (Nassau S), but also G1 placed won't do her any harm at all. I hope she will stay in training next year, but who knows?
