According to the official result at Doncaster on Thursday, the May Hill Stakes result saw Musical Times win the Betfred Group 2 mile for two-year-old fillies on good to soft ground under William Buick for trainer Charlie Appleby. The favourite came home seven and a half lengths clear of Scommessa Sicura to secure a decisive victory.
Musical Times at 7/4 justified the market’s confidence in the May Hill Stakes result with a smooth, authoritative performance. Scommessa Sicura, trained by Andrew Balding with Oisin Murphy aboard at 4/1, held second place. Speckles, from A.P. O’Brien’s yard with Ryan Moore, completed the frame three and a half lengths back.
