Talk Of New York
Impressive at Kempton (1m, AW) last October on sole 2yo start and returned with close Listed third at Meydan (1m, good) before comfortable conditions race win at Newmarket (7f, good) where he settled better in a first-time hood (retained); that latest form hasn't worked out well but he is William Buick's mount of the four Godolphin runners and is a key player.

From the connections
“We came here wanting him to relax and if Talk Of New York got beaten, he got beaten. All we wanted to do was get him to settle and race the right way round. He was back in trip and we applied a hood, which has made a big difference at home. I didn't want to take the hood off but we will next time. We've been lucky in that we've had a few horses gallop here in the last few hours and this fellow would be in the mix of it all. We had the wind taken out of our sails in Dubai, where it all went wrong from the moment he got on the plane. I liked what we've seen today and I wasn't thinking about coming here until William rode him the other day and said we should give him a trial - Charlie Appleby, trainer.”
“Talk Of New York was foot perfect in the race. He was a bit babyish, as you'd expect first time out, and a little bit full of himself, but equally he didn't do anything wrong. Once he got relaxed and into a nice rhythm he picked up real good and you'd have to be pretty impressed with what he did there. He's an exciting horse for next year - William Buick, jockey, speaking to Racing TV.”
