Jeremy Plonk Countdown to the Crown
GLOBE TROTTING SIMENON RUNNING AT MEYDAN SATURDAY
Saturday's Meydan carnival
feature, the G3 Nad Al Sheba Trophy, has drawn a handful of quality stayers to
duke it out over 2,810 meters (about 1 3/4 mi) of Meydan turf.
Simenon (Ire) (Marju
{Ire}) makes his first start as a 7-year-old off a globe-trotting 2013 campaign
that saw him jetset from England to Australia, Japan and Hong Kong. A
fast-finishing second in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, Simenon filled the
same position in York's G2 Lonsdale Cup before embarking on an Australian campaign that saw him
check in third in the G2 Herbert Power S. and fourth in the G1 Melbourne Cup.
Simenon finished 13th, beaten just 3 1/2 lengths, in the G1 Japan Cup Nov. 24,
and was last seen finishing fifth, beaten four lengths, in the G1 Hong Kong
Vase Dec. It's been a while since he made it to the winner's circle, but he tries every time, and he has been close a time or two recently. I recall one of the most amazing Royal Ascot accomplishments ever. It almost didn't get noticed because of the two super stars, Frankel and Black Caviar, took most of the attention that year. In any other year, Simenon's feat would have been headlines! The 2012 Ascot Stakes and 4 days later, the Queen Alexandra Stakes, 1 1/2 miles and 1 3/4 miles! Video 2012 Ascot Stakes Replay Queen Alexandra Stakes 6-22-12 Replay 4 days later! In each he won by more than 5 lengths! Simenon, Stayer Extraordinaire!!! Good luck in Meydan!
