"Quotable remarks about the Nunthorpe race: His jockey believed he would excel in this event, and he possesses a significant history of wins at York"
Nunthorpe Stakes 2021: Jm Jungle and Sayidah Dariyan Eyes the Prize
The Nunthorpe Stakes, a prestigious Group 1 flat race held during the Ebor Festival at York, is gearing up for another exciting edition. This year, several horses are vying for the top spot, with Jm Jungle and Sayidah Dariyan being among the frontrunners.
Jm Jungle, trained by Sean Quinn and Jason Hart, has surpassed expectations this season. After a successful run at Goodwood, the horse has been in good health, and trainers believe that the Nunthorpe would suit him well. However, Jm Jungle's participation in the race is contingent on his continued good form, as he is expected to work later this week.
Sayidah Dariyan, trained by Richard Hughes, has been improving from run to run. The horse performed exceptionally well at Royal Ascot, though got there too soon. The Nunthorpe was the plan for Sayidah Dariyan after Ascot, and the horse is expected to participate provided it remains in good shape.
The Nunthorpe attracts front runners and fast sprinters, and this year is no exception. The race is open to sprinters, and horses need to jump well, have a good draw, and have some luck in running to secure a victory.
Last year, the Nunthorpe Stakes was won by Sonnyboyliston, a 4-year-old horse trained by Johnny Murtagh and ridden by Ben Coen. Sonnyboyliston's victory was notable as it came against high-quality sprinters under Murtagh's training.
