Turf!!
Godolphin, William Buick and Charlie Appleby do it again! 
Yibir with an incredible turn of foot beats Broome (Coolmore and Aidan O’Brien) to the wire. 

Everyone buckle in, The Classic is gonna be one exciting race!!!

Time for the Classic! 

It will be!

Classic! Nobody pressed Knicks Go so he had the front end all to himself. Set reasonable fractions and goes Gate to Wire! 
Medina Spirit was game to finish 2nd, Essential Quality finished 3rd, Hot Rod Charlie 4th and pretty straight!

Not quite as expected, but what a way to go into retirement for Knicks Go!!!

Happy for Paynter and his connections too!

The Jockeys knew that taking the pace to Knicks Go was going to be the death of them and their horses. So KG gets to set a fair but not blistering pace and is able to go gate to wire. Perhaps if the stretch was longer MS is able to catch him, but we will never know.

Do we know where he is going to stand stud?

 Me too- I love Paynter- Cox should be trainer of the year- it is amazing how he turned this horse around!
