IT IS a fascinating Lockinge Stakes at Newbury today, a fascinating Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes, featuring, as it does, a clash of the generations, as the Lockinge Stakes often does. Only it’s a clash of the four-year-olds and the (even) older horses, as opposed to the classic generation and their elders, the four-year-olds and up. We have to wait until the Eclipse for that.
