Barraquero so good in the Richmond Barraquero ultimately ran out an impressive winner of the Qatar Richmond Stakes in the famous Sangster colours at Glorious Goodwood. Third behind the potentially top-class Expert Eye on his debut, he was a six-length scorer last time out. Upped in class by Brian Meehan, William Buick made his challenge down the middle of the track, while Coventry Stakes runner-up Headway was kept to the stands rail, which did not appear the place to be. Cardsharp made a valiant attempt to defy his penalty, but he was run out of second by Nebo, who in turn was a length and a quarter behind the 4-1 winner. Buick, who also took the Lillie Langtry on Endless Time, said: "I was impressed with him there, I rode him first time out behind the horse who won the Vintage earlier in the week and then he won at Chepstow. "We got a nice bit of cover from the wind. It's always a concern if they'll handle the ground and he'd prefer it better, but he's got a lot of gears and is a good two-year-old. "It's hard to say as far as next year is concerned, but Brian has always liked him."
