Hali Team Aiming High

Halicarnassus is set for a busy autumn campaign, granted fast ground, as he bids to add to his recent Pattern-race success.

The three-year-old colt, trained by Mick Channon, has several options including good races at Newbury, Longchamp and Cologne.

He has been a good servant to his owners Box 41, winning the Group Two July Stakes last season, plus a Listed contest at Goodwood and the Group Three Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock this term.

'He is far better on firm ground on a long galloping track and there are loads of options for him,' said Tim Corby, racing manager for the owners Box 41.

'His next likely appearance is in the Group Three Arc trial at Newbury next month.

'We are also looking at the Group Two Prix Niel at Longchamp and the Group One Preis von Europa in Cologne. He is also still in the St Leger.

'If we have an Indian summer we will keep him going, but the ground will govern where he goes.

'We took him out of a Group Three at Windsor on Saturday because the ground was unsuitable.'
