Hughes seeking Toronado revenge Richard Hughes believes Toronado only needs "to find a little bit" to gain revenge over Dawn Approach at Goodwood on Wednesday. The high-class colts renew rivalry in the Qipco Sussex Stakes, with the score 2-0 in Dawn Approach's favour. Toronado finished a well-beaten fourth behind Jim Bolger's inmate in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, but got much closer in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, when he succumbed by just a short head. Hughes told The Guardian: "I've been thinking about it from the time I heard the result being called at Ascot. "I feel there is a bit (of a score to settle), I feel I was very unlucky at Ascot. I think an awful lot of the horse and I'd love him to show his true best. He weighs 530kg and he was driven sideways at the most crucial point of the race last time, so I think there's a good argument that I only have to find a little bit. "I presume both of us (Hughes and Dawn Approach's jockey, Kevin Manning) would like a nice, strong-run race so his horse and mine can settle. As long as it's a nice, clean race I'll be happy and, if I get beaten, it will be fair and square. "I enjoy Goodwood and I ride with confidence around there. I feel like I know how to do the right thing around there, but that doesn't always mean you're getting all the luck. You need that on your side there now and again. "It's very good for racing. When they both loomed up in the Guineas at Newmarket, you could hear the roar go up from the stands, and that day I knew after going a furlong that I wouldn't win the Guineas. "Hearing that roar is why we ride all the other horses, so that we can get on the good ones."
