  Peslier looking for records in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup
  6 August 2010
 
 
  Olivier Peslier, racing's man of the moment who smashed the course record on Harbinger in Ascot's King George VI Queen Elizabeth Stakes, and drove Goldikova to a record equalling tenth Group 1 victory at Deuville within a span of nine days, returns to Ascot to captain the European team in tomorrow's Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup.

The three-time French champion will be making his debut in the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, the world's premier international jockeys challenge, which is contested by four teams of top international riders.

Golden girl Hayley Turner will have her hands on the tiller for Great Britain, and Richard Hughes, who racked up a record nine wins during last week's five-day Glorious Goodwood festival meeting, will captain the Irish team.

The Rest of the World team will be led by Anton Marcus, who is a legend in his native South Africa where he has won the jockey's championship title three times.
