Three outstanding stayers produced a compelling drama through the final three furlongs of the Goodwood Cup here on Tuesday and though Stradivarius came up a neck short in his attempt to win the race for the fifth time, he did more than enough to keep him on the track for another race at least.
“We are not going to say goodbye, not when he is at the top of his game and ran like that today,” Bjorn Nielsen, Stradivarius’s owner, said after his narrow defeat by Kyprios. “We will go on for at least one more.”
