Celebrations For Cheveley Park Cheveley Park Stud managed a one-two in the totesport.com Celebration Mile at Goodwood but not perhaps in the order they may have expected as 7-1 shot Echelon held off the 11-10 favourite Cesare.Cesare carried the first colours on the back of a victory in the Summer Mile at Ascot last time and was again ridden with restraint until Jamie Spencer found daylight with a couple of furlongs to run.As the customary trailblazer Dunelight found himself collared entering the distance, instead of Cesare taking over it was Ryan Moore and the second string who appeared with more purpose.Echelon dug deep and won going away by a length and a quarter with trainer Sir Michael Stoute leading home James Fanshawe in the red and white silks, while Blue Ksar was third.Echelon has won four times at Group Three level but this was her first at Group Two.Stoute said: 'She was good last year but in her last two runs she was flat at Royal Ascot and found the ground unsuitable in the Pretty Polly Stakes.'I think she's a little underrated and is pretty smart.'I don't know where she'll go next ? she's not in the QEII, while it is too soon to say whether she will go for the Matron Stakes.'Chris Richardson of the owners added: 'This is a special day. Cesare was the first choice but the 6lb difference made the difference. Cesare is as game as ever and the QEII back at Ascot has been mentioned.'Sense Of Joy provoked mixed bookmaker reaction for next year's Classics as she collected the totescoop6 Prestige Stakes a little less impressively than her odds suggested.A really taking winner on her debut at Newmarket, she was sent off at 4-7 here, but only picked up for Richard Hughes when switched inside the final furlong to oblige with more in hand than the official half-length margin over the game Celtic Slipper.'The track did not really suit her and she was a little unbalanced,' said trainer John Gosden.'There was no pace and she was changing her legs in the straight, but she's still a baby and needs a mile.'I thought odds of around 1-2 were ridiculous ? these are just horses who have won maidens.'She'll have one more run this season. We'll look at the Fillies' Mile at Ascot, but she won't go there if it is soft.'While 1000 Guineas sponsors Stan James cut her to 10-1 from 14s, Ladbrokes pushed her out to 25s from 16s.She is 12-1 favourite for the Oaks with William Hill, 20s with Cashmans.Hughes later took the NJS Stakes, gathering a tremendous late flourish from William Knight's maiden Titan Triumph (10-1) to pounce close home.Darryll Holland rode his rivals to sleep aboard Tungsten Strike (9-1) in the Windflower March Stakes.Amanda Perrett's gelding usually tackles trips of two miles-plus, but Holland, aware this Listed race was over a mile and six furlongs, stretched the field's stamina and established a clear lead he never relinquished to stride home six lengths clear.Perrett said: 'What I'd really like to do now is run him in the Melbourne Cup, and he'd go straight there.'Otherwise he'll run at Ascot next month and then go for the Jockey Club Cup.'Lightly-raced runner-up Samuel is still in the St Leger, with sponsors Ladbrokes keeping him at 20-1. Coral eased him to 25s from the same price.John Dunlop was asked whether Samuel would tackle the season's final Classic, replying: 'I don't know. He ran very well in what was a slightly tactical race.'Ron Harris is in electric form at present and he teamed up with Moore in the South Coast Stakes with the rejuvenated Golden Dixie (6-1 favourite) who showed a telling turn of foot when asked.Moore completed a 139-1 treble when partnering Irish Quest (6-4 favourite) to victory in the TurfTV Is For Betting Shops Maiden Stakes.Steve Drowne looked to have taken a nasty knock just before the start of the Dick Carey 'Lifetime In Racing' Median Auction Maiden Stakes and was unable to take his ride on Oystermouth.The race went to Eve Johnson Houghton's Fleuret (6-1), who was given a fine ride by Steve Carson to repel Moore on 7-2 favourite Distant Drama.(C) PA Sport
