RACING: The British champion jockey Kieren Fallon is set to again team up with the Co Tipperary trainer David Wachman at Goodwood on Sunday where Luas Line could fly the Irish flag in the Group Three Citreon C5 Prestige Stakes.

Wachman will give Luas Line a gallop this morning but if that is satisfactory the filly will travel to Britain at the weekend.

Fallon has been provisionally booked for the seven-furlong race and will try to continue his successful association with the Wachman yard having landed the Group One Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on Damson earlier this month. The other Irish entry in the Prestige is the Eamon Tyrell-trained Slip Dance.

Luas Line followed up a Cork maiden success with a fine runner up placing to Silk And Scarlet, beaten half a length, in the Debutante Stakes at the Curragh last time. "It was a good run and the winner is pretty smart. We will work her in the morning, but if that is alright she will run and Kieren Fallon will ride," Wachman said yesterday.

The trainer also confirmed that Newmarket's Cheveley Park Stakes next month is the likely target for the unbeaten 1,000 Guineas favourite Damson. However, he also nominated Longchamp's Prix Marcel Boussac over a mile at Longhcamp on Arc weekend as a possible alternative. "They are only a couple of days apart and the filly is bred to get a mile and a half. But we will see closer to the time," he said.

John Oxx has nominated the Blandford Stakes at the Curragh for Hazarista's next start after the filly's third to Quiff in last week's Yorkshire Oaks. "It's now confined to fillies and it's over 10 furlongs so it looks ideal," said Oxx. "She ran a good race at York but she didn't stay the mile and a half in the soft ground. She got it in the Irish Oaks but that was on top of the ground." The sole Irish winner at the Ebor meeting was Oxx's Tarakala in the Galtres Stakes and the trainer reported: "We will move her up a notch and as she seemed to stay well at York we will look at the Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster."

Horse Racing Ireland have confirmed a final four-and-a-half-year deal with the attheraces channel for the non-terrestrial coverage of Irish racing. The original agreement on June 11th was a short-term deal but the channel have tied things up with HRI and the Association of Irish Racecourses. The deal means that at least 250 Irish meetings a year will be covered on the channel and attheraces have also secured the exclusive interactive betting rights.
