James Doyle sealed his new association with Australian sprinter Brazen Beau when he partnered the Darley-owned colt in a racecourse gallop at Newmarket on Tuesday.
Brazen Beau will bid to become the first horse trained outside of Europe to win the July Cup since Japanese raider Agnes World prevailed 15 years ago next Saturday.
Doyle worked the Diamond Jubilee runner-up over the 1,200-metre course that will stage next week’s Group 1 sprint. They cantered for the first 400 metres before the retained Godolphin rider opened up the throttle for the final stages.
“He gave me the feel of exactly what he is: a top class sprinter and a seriously fast horse – he felt great,” Doyle said.
“We went six furlongs and he changed his legs in all the right places. He didn’t do anything strenuous, I just let him quicken up over the last couple of furlongs.
“I can’t wait for the Darley July Cup and I wouldn’t swap him for anything else in the race.”
Partly because of his draw, Brazen Beau raced alone on the stands’ side at Royal Ascot under Craig Williams two weeks ago. The two were separated by much of the track when Frankie Dettori and Undrafted nailed them on the line on the far side.
Darley bought Brazen Beau in December, but leased the colt to the On Track Racing partnership in an agreement that officially ended today.
As Brazen Beau has been lodged at Saeed bin Suroor’s Stanley House facility since he arrived in Britain last month, Doyle was handed the ride.
Trainer Chris Waller, who is based in Sydney, will preside over another racecourse gallop following his arrival in Britain next week.
Brazen Beau could face in the race the Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid pair of Muhaarar, who won the inaugural Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and Mustajeeb, who was fifth in the Diamond Jubilee.

Important questions to consider
1. Where on the plane does my pet travel?
There are different types of travel available for pets:
- Manifest cargo
- Excess luggage in the hold
- Excess luggage in the cabin
Each option is safe. The feasibility of each option is based on the size and breed of your pet, the airline they are traveling on and country they are travelling to.
2. What is the difference between my pet traveling as manifest cargo or as excess luggage?
If traveling as manifest cargo, your pet is traveling in the front hold of the plane and can travel with or without you being on the same plane. The cost of your pets travel is based on volumetric weight, in other words, the size of their travel crate.
If traveling as excess luggage, your pet will be in the rear hold of the plane and must be traveling under the ticket of a human passenger. The cost of your pets travel is based on the actual (combined) weight of your pet in their crate.
3. What happens when my pet arrives in the country they are traveling to?
As soon as the flight arrives, your pet will be taken from the plane straight to the airport terminal.
If your pet is traveling as excess luggage, they will taken to the oversized luggage area in the arrival hall. Once you clear passport control, you will be able to collect them at the same time as your normal luggage. As you exit the airport via the ‘something to declare’ customs channel you will be asked to present your pets travel paperwork to the customs official and / or the vet on duty.
If your pet is traveling as manifest cargo, they will be taken to the Animal Reception Centre. There, their documentation will be reviewed by the staff of the ARC to ensure all is in order. At the same time, relevant customs formalities will be completed by staff based at the arriving airport.
4. How long does the travel paperwork and other travel preparations take?
This depends entirely on the location that your pet is traveling to. Your pet relocation compnay will provide you with an accurate timeline of how long the relevant preparations will take and at what point in the process the various steps must be taken.
In some cases they can get your pet ‘travel ready’ in a few days. In others it can be up to six months or more.
5. What vaccinations does my pet need to travel?
Regardless of where your pet is traveling, they will need certain vaccinations. The exact vaccinations they need are entirely dependent on the location they are traveling to. The one vaccination that is mandatory for every country your pet may travel to is a rabies vaccination.
Other vaccinations may also be necessary. These will be advised to you as relevant. In every situation, it is essential to keep your vaccinations current and to not miss a due date, even by one day. To do so could severely hinder your pets travel plans.
