Two-year-old debut winners for the master trainer Sir Michael Stoute normally turn out to be very useful and Nostrum proved that was the case again when following up in excellent style on the opening day of Newmarket’s Cambridgeshire meeting.
The strapping son of Kingman quickened clear to see off Holloway Boy, himself a rarer specimen as a debut winner at Royal Ascot, in the Group Three Tattersalls Stakes on Wednesday and earned an 8-1 quote for next year’s 2,000 Guineas back at the track in May from Betfair. The Godolphin-owned favourite Victory Dance was third.
