Eastern Anthem only lost by a head to Peppertree Lane in yesterday's Hildon Stakes, a Listed event over 1 1/2 miles at Goodwood. As you know, I was surprised to see him as a third string for Godolphin, but I think he proved today that he definitely deserves to be first string and if he continues this season as he started he will be winning some nice races for the Godolphin team.
He holds an entry in the G1 Gold Cup at Ascot on 19 June, but I am concerned that the race might be a little far for him. From his pedigree he should be most effective over 1m2f, but we will see.
I am very pleased that he ran well and I hope he can build on this.
