Last week, the Shadwell team had another reason to celebrate as Al Husn, trained by Roger Varian, surprised everyone by winning the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood, securing another Group One victory for the team.
Looking ahead, Al Husn is set to compete in the Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville and the Yorkshire Oaks at York before the month comes to a close. Additionally, there is a possibility of her participating in the prestigious Breeders' Cup later in the year, showcasing her talent on an international stage.
Gold added, “She’s in the Romanet and she’s in the Yorkshire Oaks. I was just speaking to Roger this morning and if we want to go further he’s always said he’d love to end up in America with her, possibly with the Prix de l’Opera at Longchamp as a race before then.
“We’re in the lucky position now where we’re not trying to make a Group One winner, she has achieved that, so we can just wait and see.
“She must have had a relatively hard race last week, although she’s a tough as nails, and now she’s a Group One winner we want to do the right thing by her.
“The options are the Romanet and the Yorkshire Oaks, or neither and just concentrate on the Opera and then maybe go to America.
“I was speaking to Roger this morning and we said Sheikha Hissa might be able to come to York and she might like to see her run. There’s lots of things to work out, so we’ll have a good think about it early next week and see what everyone thinks is the right course of action.”
