Gosden's Dar Re Mi can be a star
Friday October 31 2008
John Gosden can look forward to a four-year-old campaign with Group One-placed filly Dar Re Mi.
She got as close as any horse to the brilliant Zarkava when finishing second in the Prix Vermeille and then returned to Longchamp to be third to Balladeuse in the Prix de Royallieu.
Dar Re Mi was also second to Lush Lashes in the Yorkshire Oaks and won the Prix Minerve at Deauville.
Simon Marsh, racing manager for her owner Lord Lloyd-Webber, said: "She will be kept in training and she should be very exciting.
"Because of her sire (Singspiel) she should get better from three to four."
Jailed Munce is released early
Top Australian jockey Chris Munce walked free from a Sydney prison yesterday after completing two-thirds of a two-and-a-half year jail term for his part in a Hong Kong betting scandal.
Munce was originally sentenced to 30 months' imprisonment by a Hong Kong court in March 2007 for supplying tips on racehorses he was riding in the former British colony.
Munce was found guilty under Hong Kong's strict anti-corruption laws, but was transferred to a Sydney jail in September last year, then given an early release for good behaviour.
