Clubs Primed For Jersey Stakes Red Clubs is to drop down in distance and class after finishing unplaced in the Stan James 2000 Guineas.The Barry Hills-trained colt, 12th to George Washington at Newmarket, is being aimed at the Group Three Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot in two weeks' time ? having booked his ticket for the colts' Classic by winning the Greenham Stakes on his seasonal debut.'He ran a very good race in the Guineas, he just plainly did not stay and the ground probably got a bit soft for him,' said the trainer's son Michael.'I've always thought him to be a better on fast ground. He's going to be aimed at the Jersey Stakes and he would have a big chance.'It is very, very hard for a three-year-old to become a sprinter. We are leaving our options open for seven furlongs but he could easily drop back to six at some stage.'It's very hard for three year olds to take on these older horses in sprints so he's sticking to his own age group over seven furlongs,' the jockey told At The Races.?
