AN end-of-season feel to some of the results last week was not confined just to races involving two-year-olds.

Mustashry is high-class on his day, but his win in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket on Friday came in a remarkably slow time – just 0.1s, or less than a length, faster than the younger Rose Of Kildare managed 35 minutes earlier – and with probably only Limato running close to his best behind him. Mustashry gets a mere 95 timefigure but had a 123 when winning the Lockinge earlier in the campaign.
