Aidan O'Brien's Gstaad dazzles in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot
The unbeaten colt, who is a half-brother to dual G1 winner Vandeek, defied greenness to score at Navan on debut and had clearly learned plenty from that experience. With the field spread right across the track, Gstaad powered to a three-length victory under Ryan Moore, despite racing alone down the centre through the final two furlongs. Do Or Do Not (80/1) and Coppull (66/1) filled the frame for Ed Walker and Clive Cox respectively. Gstaad, who was providing Aidan O'Brien with an 11th success in the six-furlong contest, jumped to the top of the Ballydoyle pecking order after injury ruled out stablemate Albert Einstein. O'Brien said: 'I am absolutely delighted. Gstaad looks a very good horse, doesn't he? We have always loved him. He had only had the one run, but he has always worked like a good horse. 'He is big, scopey, has a good stride and is very genuine; he goes with his head down and he has loads of speed. He looks like he will get further than six furlongs. 'Ryan rode him very positive. He let him find himself in the first half and then he came home very well. I was surprised tacking up how big he is. He got the trip very well, so I am delighted for everyone. 'We are just so lucky to be working with such unbelievable horses, and Ryan riding them is incredible. It is a big team and it's a privilege to be involved in the whole thing." Asked if Group Ones will be on the card for this horse next, O'Brien said: 'I would imagine so.' On Albert Einstein, Aidan said: 'He felt like something we didn't have before. The first day he worked, he was probably the most different horse we have ever seen – he was so quick. We haven't had horses as quick as he is but as big as he is. He is very exciting." Ed Walker said of Do Or Do Not: 'I was surprised, to be honest! The Coventry isn't a race I'd have thought I'll be winning any time soon. Fair play to Simon [Sadler, owner] - he wanted to roll the dice. I was quite happy to go and find a £40,000 novice at Carlisle, but he ran an absolute blinder and I'm really proud of him. 'He is a tough horse - both Hector [Crouch] at York and Tom [Marquand] today said they thought he was a smart horse. He is just so laidback at home, so chilled, he probably doesn't show you a huge amount, but that's how you want them.'

Dubai fines 159 companies Dh50,000 each for violating telemarketing rules
The Dubai government has fined 159 companies Dh50,000 ($13,614) each for violating telemarketing regulations as it clamps down on unwanted calls. Warnings were issued to a total of 174 companies by the Dubai Corporation for Consumer Protection and Fair Trade, part of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, it said on Tuesday. Regulation of telemarketing practices came into effect in August 2024 and the move is part of the Dubai government's efforts to create a business-friendly environment for investors. 'These regulations aim to reduce unwanted telemarketing calls, ensuring consumer comfort and protecting their privacy,' it said. 'They also work to enhance consumer trust in businesses by ensuring that companies adhere to appropriate channels and timings for marketing their products, thereby building a positive business climate.' As part of the D33 economic agenda, launched in 2023, Dubai aims to establish itself as one of the top three global cities over the next decade and double the size of its economy by 2033. Dubai's economy grew by 3.1 per cent in the first nine months of last year, compared to the same period in 2023, reaching Dh339.4 billion, with growth largely driven by expansion in sectors such as transport and financial services. 'By curbing market-disruptive practices, [Dubai Corporation for Consumer Protection and Fair Trade] is committed to creating a fair competitive landscape that enhances economic stability and consumer protection,' it said. The regulatory legislation applies to all licensed companies in the UAE, including those in free zones, whose products and services are marketed through telephone calls. In line with the resolutions, key guiding principles for telemarketing activities include: not contacting consumers whose numbers are in the Do Not Call Registry managed by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority; only making calls from 9am to 6pm, and notifying the consumer at the start of the call if it is being recorded. The new regulations are implemented in a way that 'supports businesses while protecting consumers from negative and problematic business practices', the government body said.
