Following his success in the Railway Stakes I must revise that opinion. The rating I awarded him for the race is Group 1 standard for a two-year-old.

Kool Kompany made the running in the Railway Stakes at a rather moderate pace then picked up really well over the last quarter mile. I timed his final quarter mile as being a full two seconds faster than they went in the valuable handicap over 63 yards long and 0.6 of a second faster than they managed in the Group 3 over five furlongs. As his jockey said: “When I let him go he really picked up and finished very well - the last 100 yards were his best.”
