THE HAMPTON BY HILTON HAMILTON PARK NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) RACE DESCRIPTION
This contest is another Novice Stakes, this time run over a distance of six furlongs. There are a variety of reasons why the three-year-olds in this race are still light on experience. Stoutly bred horses are unlikely to be seen at their best over the shorter distances of their juvenile season whilst a setback or injury can curtail even the most precociously bred horse’s two-year-old career.
