Newmarket Saturday

IT’S turning into a real annus mirabilis for Godolphin’s main trainer Charlie Appleby, and he annexed Newmarket’s big prize of the weekend when taking the Group 3 Criterion Stakes with Glorious Journey (James Doyle), the 9/2 chance proving too strong in the finish for Motakhayyel (Richard Hannon/Dane O’Neill) and Duke Of Hazzard (Paul & Oliver Cole/Shane Kelly).
