This could be a really interesting euro

Doug's rationale might be based solely on times, and in the end, might be true...but I wouldn't write the horse off just yet.

The race he won was his 2nd career start, the first race he was 3rd beaten 2 3/4 by Ghurair, who went on to be fifth btn 1 in the Vintage Stakes (G2) against a solid field of 2yos. The second placer from that day came back to run third beaten less than a length.

The Lingfield turf isn't much, but you have to start somewhere, and he deserves a shot in the Juddmonte barn.

He was pushed away to lead in the final 2F, and hit once with the whip from what I could see. A good maiden win, regardless.
