LAST weekend was one of those days where you needed the remote control during the racing afternoon. Newmarket had the Dewhurst Stakes. It should have held the most interest. This is the race to reveal the potential classic star to keep us talking through the winter. It’s been won by Nijinsky, El Gran Senor, Zafonic, Frankel.

In Expert Eye, we might have had another star. But no. And the winner, U S Navy Flag, just didn’t inspire excitement. Not quite the look of eagles.
