THE FUGUE GRABS NASSAU GLORY.

Quote:
The Fugue was produced with a perfectly timed run by Richard Hughes to take top honours in the Markel Insurance Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
The three-year-old was the lesser fancied of two runners for John Gosden, with Izzi Top the choice of stable jockey William Buick, and the 7-4 favourite appeared to be travelling nicely towards the lead a couple of furlongs down.
But she was unable to quicken as well as her stable companion, who pounced from the rear and ran out a decisive winner by a length from the front-running Timepiece, with Oaks winner Was in third. Izzi Top was ultimately well beaten.
