At Doncaster on Saturday and in the last G1 of the year in the UK.
It was the Futurity over 1600m and a most exiting finish with a ding-dong battle up the straight between the eventual winner Hotazhell and Delacroix with the final verdict being a nose. His trainer describes him as "feisty" and that was spot on.
Hotazhell is by Too Darn Hot and trained by Jessica Harrington with Shane Foley on board and future plans are to be developed after the winter break. Delacroix lost nothing in defeat and this race would have done a lot for his character. Wimbledon Hawkeye ran third and a little bit further back as he didn't seem to relish the ground.
