Blazing Speed proved narrowly best over Military Attack in the 2014 running of the Longines Jockey Club Cup, but the 7-year-old, who has had his fair share of age-related problems, turned back the time at least one more time and turned the tables in Saturday’s renewal. The 2012/2013 Horse of the Year off wins in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup and G1 SAI Cup in Singapore, Military Attack won the 1600-meter Sha Tin Trophy H. first-up for five months last year.

Staff Profile: Head Lad Flat Focus: The Derby Photos Of The Month Trainer Talk At this time of year, the racing world unleashes a collective desire to pinpoint the likely stars of the summer. It is only natural to want to celebrate the very best, to consider that we might be in the midst of greatness, but sometimes this can be un- healthy, with good or very good horses afforded the status of exceptional in order to fill a void left by those who captured our imagination most of all. True excellence is devalued if we consider every Classic winner a great, and we must be careful of not falling into this trap over the next few months. While we may still stumble upon a 125-plus horse to headline the campaign, trials season has suggested otherwise, with the markets for both Guineas, the Derby and the Oaks given a real shakeup as many of last year’s stellar two-year-olds failed to live up to their billing. -
