YOU wait all season for a seven-furlong Group race and then three come in two weeks. It is surely a quirk of the British fixture list that two seven-furlong Group 2 races, today’s Hungerford Stakes (3:35) and Friday’s City Of York Stakes, come just after the Prix Maurice de Gheest, the only six-and-a-half furlong Group 1 in Europe, which took place last weekend in Deauville.
