IF you see a pedigree reference to Mustajeer now it will read: won four races to six years, 2019 and £738,281. What it will not say is that the bulk of those earnings come from a race that does not carry listed or group status, but which attracted a field better than many such races.

Congratulations to Ger Lyons, David Spratt and all connections of the six-year-old son of Medicean (Machiavellian) who will hopefully have a chance to prove himself to be a Group 1 horse when he gets to race down under. He already has some form at the highest level, albeit a distant third to Magical and Flag Of Honour in the five-runner Tattersalls Gold Cup this year.
