The exuberant front-runner may prevail in Sandown’s big race, the highlight of seven Sunday races to be shown on ITV
After the shock of Saturday’s Derby, Sunday brings another big race in which the front-runner may not be caught. In the case of Ghaiyyath (3.35), however, there would be nothing in the least surprising about it.
Naturally exuberant, the Godolphin horse has made all to win three of his last four races, the only exception being the Arc, in which he flopped. A very testing surface may have made the difference that day and it is reassuring that this Eclipse Stakes will be run on a drying surface.
