David Gately’s Analysis Had his chance but fully tested G1 champion stayer Stradivarius last start in the Lonsdale Cup. They spaced third. Very good prior in the Ascot Gold Cup where he beat Stradivarius home. He was a dominant winner of the Yorkshire Cup defeating Santiago, who won the 2020 Irish Derby. 2nd in that Derby was Tiger Moth who was narrowly beaten in last year’s Lexus Melbourne Cup.
