GOODWOOD on Wednesday was the scene for the best two-year-old timefigure in the period under review, with Havana Grey skipping through the mud to take the Molecomb Stakes in 1m 00.89s, equivalent to a timefigure of 107.

That is still below Expert Eye’s age-group-leading 114 in the Vintage Stakes the day before, but Havana Grey is top dog of his age at the minimum trip and clearly highly versatile regarding ground as well. The placed horses, Invincible Army and To Wafij, recorded useful 100 figures in a race in which many failed to run to their best.
