Sunday’s Typewriter Trophy a gift for The Prince’s Spur

FACED with Mouttet Mile-qualifying options whittling down ahead of the US$300,000 event set for December 5, Rohan Crichton’s American, THE PRINCE’S SPUR, gets a gift of points in Sunday’s Typewriter Trophy at seven and a half furlongs.

THE PRINCE’S SPUR returns facing overnight-allowance runners, two classes lower, after losing on his local debut to Horse of the Year RIDEALLDAY in the Philip Feanny Gold Cup.

Running 14lb lighter than RIDEALLDAY, THE PRINCE’S SPUR came off the home turn, with Tajay Suckoo appearing to have more in hand than Ian Spence urging the four-year-old grey pursuer to pick up the pace swinging into the straight.
