Jack Hobbs to bat away rivals at Ascot
Olivier Peslier, riding Charm Spirit
London - Arab Today
Jack Hobbs, named in honour of one of England's greatest cricketers, is the horse to beat in Saturday's Champion Stakes at Ascot as trainer John Gosden seeks to add further shine to his golden season.
The £1.3 million ($2 million, 1.76 million euros) ten furlong prize is one of the showpieces of Champions Day where in 2012 the mighty Frankel signed off his racing career in style.
Jack Hobbs is the 5-4 ante-post favourite for Saturday's edition on the strength of his performances in claiming the Irish Derby and his eye-catching second to stablemate Golden Horn in the Epsom Derby.
He runs two weeks after Golden Horn landed Gosden's first Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp under a masterful ride from Frankie Dettori.
While Gosden believes Jack Hobbs has the speed to prevail at Ascot, he expressed concern Thursday over his wide draw.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
