What happened in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes last year?
OKITA SOUSHI was third in the Copper Horse the year previous, and stays 2m, so he really needed a strong gallop at this trip. That’s exactly what the race provided, and he proved game in delivering his challenge down the outside. Hms President, was also suited by the race’s pace scenario and had every chance back in trip off a career-high mark. Live Your Dream, back in cheekpieces, got across from a wide draw and stuck on well into third.
