The poor runs last weekend by two horses that were to the forefront of the antepost Guineas and Derby markets last year - the now gelded Foundation and the four-times disappointing Air Force Blue, prompted a look back at the records now as three-year-olds, of last season’s top rated two-year-olds.
Minding stands on her own as the rest of the top 15 have failed to add anything to their two-year-old record.
