James Cummings sat in the Godolphin planning meeting at the end of the autumn in April and declared Spring Champion Stakes day would be Tom Kitten’s day, and six months later the colt proved him right in devastating fashion.
The son of a world champion sprinter Harry Angel showed a turn of foot that his stallion would have been proud of in the 2000m group 1 for three-year-olds . He was in a different class to his rivals, winning by 3-¼ lengths as $2.50 favourite. Cap Ferrat and Ganbare , which was another length away in third, filled the minor end of the prize.“That is an outstanding training performance,” Godolphin’s racing and breeding manager Jason Walsh said.
Cummings will give some thought to running Tom Kitten in the Victoria Derby next week, but knows next year looms large as well.“The horse’s misfortunes have been immeasurable these past three starts,” Cummings said. “It’s just fantastic that he was able to get into the clear and he was able to show just how good he is.
McEvoy rang Nash Rawiller to get some clues on the quirky mare but needed all his horsemanship to get her home in a driving finish. “They assured me he was going well at home, even though his first two runs weren’t up to par,” he said of Chrysaor. “He got the great run today, was nearly a little bit unlucky at the top of the straight, but he was strong late.”Zeyrek put a luckless effort in the King Charles III Stakes behind him to win the Craven Plate at Randwick on Saturday.
