King George not on Sariska agenda

Sariska will not make her next appearance in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday week, contrary to some speculation.A quite extraordinary winner of Sunday's Darley Irish Oaks, the dual Classic winner remains on course for the Yorkshire version on the Knavesmire on August 20.Trainer Michael Bell has headed off for a brief holiday and Hugo Lascelles, a racing advisor to Sariska's owner Lady Bamford, said: "That (King George) would be just a rumour - it's not the plan at all. She is going for the Yorkshire Oaks."With Jamie Spencer even able to give a cheeky wave to Fran Berry as Sariska cruised past the toiling Roses For The Lady, many believe this was the easiest victory in a major Group One race since Montjeu's contemptuous dismissal of Fantastic Light in the King George of 2000."That's what a lot of people have been saying to me," reflected Lascelles."She was quite simply marvellous. She got back from Ireland on the plane and she seems to be fine."
