Stimulation rises to Newmarket challenge
Stimulation capped off a busy season with victory in the Victor Chandler Challenge Stakes at Newmarket.
Hughie Morrison’s three-year-old has been on the go since April, when he won the Free Handicap.
But sent off the 9-2 favourite for this Group Two contest, he always looked likely to reel in long-time leader Cat Junior and won by a one and a quarter lengths.
Laa Rayb fared best of those on the stands side to claim third place.
“He’s been taking on the top flight all year,” said successful jockey Darryll Holland.
“He ran a great race in Turkey last time behind two Group One winners.”
