Guard gunning for Topkapi Trophy
Stan Moore’s Traffic Guard has acclimatised to life in Turkey ahead of his tilt at the valuable Topkapi Trophy in Istanbul this Sunday.
The three-year-old is one of four British raiders that also include Dubai’s Touch, who only just beat him in a Listed race at Goodwood last month.
Godolphin representative Caradak and Andrew Balding’s Banknote are also involved.
Moore’s wife, Sara, said: “He’s out there already and I’m told he’s being very well looked after.
“We’ve never had a runner in Turkey before, but there’s a really big pot on offer.
“John Egan will be riding, and he’s off out there on Saturday night.
“We’re quite hopeful.”
