Aidan O'Brien nominee Man's Best Friend (No Nay Never) shed maiden status at Naas just last week and overcame traffic problems to supply the trainer with a third renewal of Thursday's G2 Markel Richmond Stakes at Goodwood.Positioned off a strong pace in seventh through halfway, the 11-2 chance was interrupted in his run when making headway into contention approaching the final furlong and quickened smartly once in the open to deny Adaay Of Scarlett (Mehmas) by a length in the dying strides.Night In Vegas (Lucky Vega) fared best of the remainder and finished 1 1/2 lengths further adrift in third. Pedigree NotesMan's Best Friend, a G1 Phoenix Stakes and G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes entry, is the latest of six foals and one of five scorers out of G3 Musidora Stakes third Pandora (Galileo), who is a full-sister to the dual stakes-placed Allegio and Listed River Eden Stakes third Isabella.Isabella is the dam of the GIII La Jolla Handicap victor and GII Del Mar Derby runner-up Maltese Falcon (Caravaggio), while the winner is a half-brother to G3 Stanerra Stakes third Perfect Your Craft (Mastercraftsman).
