CONDITIONS were getting quicker again by Saturday, with watering discontinued. It led to a race-record time for the Diamond Jubilee Stakes since the track was relaid from The Tin Man and a near record time for a juvenile from September in the Chesham Stakes.

The former came in a race in which Kachy and Suedois did too much up front – I make the second to fourth furlongs about five lengths too fast given the prevailing conditions – with The Tin Man, Tasleet and Limato getting in each other’s way late on having all come through from some way back.
