News
Just ten days ago Mohaafeth was being talked about as a live Cazoo Derby contender at Epsom. Bookmakers had him as 9-2 second favourite behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained Bolshoi Ballet after bloodless victories at Lingfield and Newmarket (twice). Then the skies opened, the ground cut up and the dream was over. William Haggas decided to do best by the horse and take him out due to unsuitable ground. His disappointment was visible and although we will never know if it was the right call, Mohaafeth now enters the Group 3 Hampton Court Stakes with a favourite's chance.
