Afternoon stroll for The Prince’s Spur

PROVING that he was used up too early, chasing PACK PLAYS’ splits of 23.0 and 45.4 before motoring into 1:10.4 for six furlongs, caught by RIDEALLDAY in the September 5 Gold Cup, United States-bred THE PRINCE’S SPUR yesterday made a mockery of overnight-allowance runners in the Typewriter Trophy.

Rohan Crichton’s THE PRINCE’S SPUR made all on an afternoon stroll under Raddesh Roman at odds of 1-5, clocking a ridiculously easy 1:30.1, getting within 1.1 seconds of PHENOMENAL POWER’s track record 1:29.0, set July 4, a performance which erased Sky Train’s 43-year mark of 1:29.2

Faced with Mouttet Mile-qualifying options whittling down ahead of the US$300,000 event set for December 5, THE PRINCE’S SPUR made the most of the overnight-allowance gift, running two classes lower.
