• Trainer of runner-up critical of Glorious Goodwood watering
Khaadem landed a major gamble in the Stewards’ Cup here, beating a huge field by daylight in what is supposed to be one of the most competitive races of the year. In doing so, he confirmed Charlie Hills’s burgeoning reputation as an excellent trainer of sprinters, but the outcome was not without controversy, as officials were criticised for the overnight watering that slowed down the racing surface.
“I so enjoyed that,” said Hills, who had a big week, thanks to the record-breaking third victory in the King George enjoyed by Battaash on Friday. Half an hour after the Stewards’ Cup, he was back in the winners’ enclosure after the two-year-old Persuasion made a very classy racecourse debut.
