THE feature contest last weekend was arguably the Betway Solario Stakes at Sandown, a race won last year by Too Darn Hot, in 2017 by Derby winner Masar, and by Kingman in 2013.

This year’s race was weakened by the overnight defection of the much-touted Visinari, but went as expected to ante-post favourite Positive, providing another group-winning juvenile to the Clive Cox/Adam Kirby combination after the Richmond Stakes success of Golden Horde last month.
