 Sport | Classic tune-ups on trial at new-look Knavesmire
Out on the track, too, the action had a thoroughly modern flavour as the day's main Classic trial was won by Cassis, a filly who will definitely not be in the field for the Oaks at Epsom on June 6.
This spring has seen a succession of so-called trials that have made little or no impact on the Classic betting, and the Dante Stakes on the Knavesmire this afternoon is perhaps the last remaining chance to buck the trend.
One theory is that since Ballydoyle and Godolphin, the two dominant powers in European racing, are more likely to run their best three-year-olds in Group One events, either in Britain or abroad, than Group Threes like yesterday's Musidora, the relevance of the traditional trials will inevitably decline.
