Shea Shea was unable to add to South Africa's tally of UK Gr1 placings yesterday when running 4th in the July Cup. Much is being said about his 'failure', his pulling early, the ride and the distance but it was a good run regardless. Shea Shea was beaten only 2.50 lengths by the Diamond Jubilee winner, Lethal Force. Society Rock, second in the Diamond Jubilee, finished second here as well. Shea Shea also narrowly beat Sole Power this time, reversing the result of their last encounter. He looks likely to return in the five furlong Nunthorpe, with the Prix de l'Abbaye in France being next on the list.
Dancewiththedevil was entered in the Gr1 Falmouth but did not make the final field in which only 3 (!) ran. She has been entered for a number of races coming up soon including the Nassau Stakes (Gr1, 3 Aug), Desmond Stakes (Gr3, 15 Aug), Celebration Mile (Gr2, 24 Aug) and the Matron Stakes (Gr1, 7 Sep).
The Apache was expected to run in the Summer Mile but was likewise didn't appear in the final field.
Soft Falling Rain may make his return in the Sprint Cup (Gr1, 7 Sep).
