Indestructible Makes Mark at Newmarket’s Craven Stakes as Warm-up for Qipco 2,000 Guineas

Amo, the racing horse owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid, has had a dream week as he continues to make waves in the horse racing industry. With his latest feat, Indestructible, Amo has landed in the 2,000 Guineas picture, further solidifying his position as a top contender in the sport. However, his journey to this point has not been without challenges, including a recent race where his jockey struggled to pull him up. Despite the setback, Amo remains a force to be reckoned with and is set to make even bigger waves in the coming months.


Kevin Stott redeemed himself after missing out on a Classic trial winner for his Amo Racing team at Newmarket by riding Indestructible to victory in the bet365 Craven Stakes. Trained by Karl Burke, Indestructible was backed by bookmakers such as Paddy Power who slashed odds to 14-1 for Classic glory back on the Rowley Mile. The result was particularly pleasing for Stott, who had picked the wrong horse in the Nell Gwyn Stakes the day before. The Foxes came in second, but Alastair Donald said the horse would seek a step up in trip and would take the Dante route to the Derby. Trainer Roger Teal confirmed Dancing Magic would seek the French Derby after he took third. With Indestructible making his first start for Burke, the trainer said the horse had arrived with a couple of niggles but has been working well recently. The plan is still to enter Indestructible in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas event on May 6.


In the end, racing can be a cruel sport. For every winner, there are countless horses and jockeys who fall short of their dreams. Sometimes, the result comes down to luck, while other times it’s simply a matter of skill. For Amo, his dream week continues as Indestructible flies into the 2,000 Guineas picture. But for others, there will always be the nagging feeling of “what if.” As we move forward, we’ll continue to celebrate the highs and mourn the lows. It’s all part of what makes horse racing such a thrilling and addictive sport.
