The saying goes ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ springs to mind with a cursory glance at this week’s FOYs.

To see Droopys Buick and Jet Stream Bound close to their best form in their third season of racing with 130 outings between them is a testament to the consistency of the breed and the care of their trainers.

Perhaps an even better example is Newinn Shadow who seemed to have a great career in front of him when clocking 28.34 for Nottingham’s 480 metres last summer when still only 19 months old.

Four months out with injury earlier this year looked to have stymied that potential. But a 28.82 (+30) win second time back showed he might not, after all, be a shadow of his former self (Sorry – Ed) and on Monday night, the black finally bettered the old mark with a 28.20 run.

That ‘480’ landmark had been held by Droopys Gold (28.30) whose name was only erased from the record books for about an hour as he bounced back to clock the fastest ‘500’ of the year.
