The future of Jacquinot will become clearer in the next week with the weather and his popularity with breeders to decide if he is seen on an Australian racecourse again.

The immediate future for Jacquinot might or might not be in Saturday’s All Aged Stakes at Randwick, while his long-term future is equally unclear with both Royal Ascot and a stallion paddock at Widden Stud calling the Golden Rose winner.

Widden Stud is already fielding inquiries from breeders about the Mick Price and Michael Kent jnr-trained son of Rubick, which could stake a claim for three-year-old colt of the year with a third group 1 win at 1400m on the weekend.

However, his kryptonite has been wet tracks throughout his career and if Randwick gets to a heavy rating, connections would wait for another day, which may be in the Platinum Jubilee at Royal Ascot in June.

“We know he just doesn’t get into full stride on wet ground, so it would not be worth going to the All Aged on a wet track,” Kent jnr said. “He is going really well and unbeaten at 1400m, but we need the right type of surface and that will depend on how much rain you guys get up there.

“Royal Ascot is certainly still in the discussions, but he would need to be inoculated. We wanted to wait until after the All Aged to do that and make that decision.”

Jacquinot has had the perfect mix of sustained speed and stamina, which has seen him bank two group 1 wins at 1400m, in the Golden Rose and Orr Stakes, using explosive closing speed.

It prompted a freshen-up after he got too far back in the Australian Guineas and charged into sixth late behind Legato, only beaten 1-3/4 lengths at the beginning of March.

But Widden Stud boss Antony Thompson knows Jacquinot has done enough to earn a place on the stallion roster.
