Nashwa OUT of the Breeders’ Cup but to run at Ascot and stay in training as a five-year-old

STAR filly Nashwa is set to stay in training next season but will miss the Breeders’ Cup.

However, we will get to see Nashwa one more time this term at Ascot in either the QEII over a mile or the mile and a quarter Qipco Champion Stakes.

Hollie Doyle and Nashwa have formed a brilliant bond and the filly will stay in training next season[/caption]

Ower Imad Al Sagar, whose Blue Diamond Stud Farm bred Nashwa, told me: “Nashwa is heading to Ascot and is entered in both the QEII and Champion. She will run on one or the other.

“There will be no Breeders’ Cup for her but Ascot is not her last race. She will train on as a five-year-old.”

The news will be welcomed by Nashwa fans, who have grown to love her talent and link with jockey Hollie Doyle.

This season the pair landed the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July and finished second in the Juddmonte International as well as third in the Irish Champion Stakes behind Derby hero Auguste Rodin.
