Commonwealth Cup 2018 Result

15:40 Friday 22 June 2018

COMMONWEALTH CUP (Group 1) (1)

Distance : 6f
Prize : £283,550 Age : 3yo Race Type : Flat Going : Gd/Frm

Although it is only in its fourth year, the enhanced 3-y-o sprint programme culminating in the Commonwealth Cup has been a great success, with this race already firmly established as a bona fide Group 1, Muhaarar beating Limato in the first running, the subsequent Sprint Cup winner Quiet Reflection landing the second and Harry Angel and Blue Point taking the places behind Caravaggio last year; whether this renewal, which attracted the largest field to date, will prove quite so celebrated remains to be seen, with the front 3 in the market all failing to fire and a trio of long-priced runners just behind the first 3, but there are reasons why they might have found improvement and the principals all had good form claims, the winner having shaped really well on both his starts this year and the second and third coming first and third in the main trial race; the field split into 2 groups, the main body up the centre, a group of 6 next to the stand rail, the runner-up finishing well in that sextet, perhaps likely to have done even better had he been in the centre, though the winner looked in front soon enough and is likely to prove the best of these in the longer term.

All 22 ran.
