His sectionals were interesting – recorded sub 12 second furlongs for each of his final 4F and they were all fast (to par). His race is the only time so far today to have gone under standard (0.38 fast).
He beat nothing but considering many of Aidan’s have looked short of fitness first time out, this was encouraging with more to come – he is such a beautiful and fluent mover (clearly the heavy ground at Donny was no good for him) so I hope they don’t water too much at Epsom if this dry spell continues.
Given how quickly the pacemaker went off, he did well to stay on for second place – another case of a horse (another Frankel offspring as well) that could easily be a number one in many stables being reduced to a pacemaking role.
