If he wasn’t the fastest to the halfway, but then broke the track record, it was a mathematical certainty that Skywalker Logan would be the strongest runner in the second half of the Derby course at the weekend.

There has never been a question over Logan’s staying ability having recently won the 600 yard Irish Cesarewitch at Mullingar; he even has winning form over 750 yards at Clonmel. Mark Pierrepont’s figures show that Pat Guilfoyle’s runner was actually two lengths faster than any of the opposition in the second half of the race.
It would be interesting to know how many punters could have chosen the second and third on the table in Jimmy Fenwick’s Lemon Ronald and Jelly Flood, who was actually beaten by King Turbo and the 97th fastest dog in the round after overcoming a slow break and backstraight trouble.
