Royal Ascot News: Dramatised heads Karl Burke's "strongest ever team"
It's not all about Southern racing at Royal Ascot as Yorkshire handler Karl Burke is sending a strong team down from the North for the Festival which begins on Tuesday, June 14.
The Spigot Lodge trainer is having a stellar campaign and seems to be bringing an imposing team of young fillies to the fore at just the right time for the Royal meeting.
Also hitting the road to Berkshire is likely to be fellow fillies Pillow Talk and Yahsat. Burke had the first two home in the Marygate Stakes at York with this pair as Kodiac filly Pillow Talk put a neck between herself and Dandy Man filly Yahsat to take the listed event.
Meanwhile, in the three-year-old ranks, El Caballo has won an impressive six out of seven races so far, with the Havana Gold Colt entered for the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Ascot.
El Caballo, which literally translates as "the horse" from Spanish, has won at Carlisle, Wolverhampton, Newcastle (twice), Lingfield and most recently at Haydock where he saw off Hugo Palmer's useful Flaming Rib.
