Musical Times (Lope De Vega) entered Thursday's G2 May Hill Stakes at Doncaster with an unbeaten record and a tall reputation and lived up to all the expectation with a spectacular performance.Comfortable when taking seven-furlong novices at Newmarket and Yarmouth earlier in the summer, Godolphin's daughter of the 2020 May Hill runner-up Dubai Fountain (Teofilo) was in deep here and received a bump leaving the stalls but continued unhindered under William Buick tracking the pace up the centre.Let loose inside the two, the 7-4 favourite surged away for a 7 1/2-length success from Scommessa Sicura (Cracksman) who she had beaten on debut, with Ballydoyle's Speckles (No Nay Never) another length away in third.“I can't say I was expecting that, but she has shown us natural pace at home and I knew she would travel into it,” Charlie Appleby, whose 1,000 Guineas heroine Desert Flower won this two years ago, said. “On pedigree I knew she should get the mile, but I was hoping she could see it out on this ground and in this headwind. She's a neat, compact filly, as opposed to Desert Flower who was big and rangy and so Newmarket shouldn't be a problem to her and we'll go to the Fillies' Mile.”Going, going, GONE!Musical Times is as short as 6/1 for next year's 1000 Guineas https://t.co/eCzlmEQOW5 pic.twitter.com/kO8gq1Ae3P— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) September 10, 2026The post Musical Times Destroys May Hill Rivals, Fillies’ Mile Next appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
