THERE was plenty of good-class action last weekend without an equivalent time performance to match, so given trainer Richard Fahey took the plaudits for his six-timer last Saturday it’s fitting one of his horses should take centre stage in this review.

It’s not often that a maiden is good enough to run in the Mill Reef Stakes, let alone win it, so credit is due to Ribchester who won the Dubai Duty Free sponsored Group 2 event readily on his third appearance, and in doing so registered the best timefigure performance (111) of the week.
