THE Goffs UK Premier Yearling Stakes holds no pattern status, but witnessed a Group 1 performance as Mums Tipple (Richard Hannon/Ryan Moore) blasted out of the stalls, and had set up a winning lead after a furlong.

The Footstepsinthesand colt is nothing special on pedigree, but had been given a host of big race entries based on impressive home work, and he showed why here, pulling further and further clear, albeit under strangely strong driving which saw the winning rider get a two-day ban for hitting his mount when clearly winning. They scored by an astonishing 11 lengths from a colt, Rayong, who was beaten by less than half that distance in a Group 2 on his previous start.
