’He’s galloped them into submission!’ QUICKTHORN comes home clear in the 2023 Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup

Incredible ride and an incredible performance from the front as Quickthorn bags his first Group One in style in the 2023 Goodwood Cup, Tom Marquand executing a perfect front-running ride. Trained by Hughie Morrison, Marquand had adopted very similar tactics last season in the Lonsdale Cup at York when beating the reopposing Coltrane by 14 lengths. Quickthorn had failed to quite match that level of performance since, but did return to winning ways last time out back at York in a Listed race and the form was subsequently franked when the second, Israr, won a Group Two next time out. Marquand stole a few lengths early and then once again on the brow of the hill, when the field might expect to start making ground, but the jockey ensured there was no let up in the pace. At one stage he was around 20 lengths clear but Oisin Murphy on Coltrane, who was leading the pack, seemed content in where he was with half a mile to go. The riders of Eldar Eldarov, Giavellotto, Emily Dickinson and Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami all suddenly realised Quickthorn was not stopping, but the victor had a decisive lead. Quickthorn won by six lengths from Emily Dickinson, who prevailed in a photo for second with Coltrane, with Eldar Eldarov a further short head back in fourth. #goodwood #gloriousgoodwood #horseracing #throroughbred #sport This is the official YouTube channel of Racing TV.
