VELAZQUEZ SET FOR KEY KINGDOM WORK
27 May 2013

Top American rider John Velazquez is to fly in this week to team up with Animal Kingdom in a significant workout as part of the Dubai World Cup winner's preparation for Royal Ascot.

Animal Kingdom is being housed at David Lanigan's stable under the supervision of his American-based trainer Graham Motion ahead of the Queen Anne Stakes.

That is likely to be the 2011 Kentucky Derby hero's final racecourse appearance before he takes up stud duties in Australia.

"Everything seems really good," said Barry Irwin, founder member of breeders Team Valor, who are co-owners of the horse along with Arrowfield Stud and Sheikh Mohammed.

"The trainer is happy with him and he's going to go for a big workout this week with our jockey. He's flying over to ride him on Wednesday.

"We're anxious to see what he says. That will tell us what we want to know.

"We are going to keep him eligible for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, but we are pointing to the Queen Anne."
