John Gosden on Monday made the commcercial case for breeding staying horses at the launch of the Weatherbys Hamilton Stayers' Million in Newmarket. Bloodstock editor Mark Scully was among those there to hear what he had to say.

What to watch

Teddy Grimthorpe and David Elsworth were also on hand at the Jockey Club Rooms and shared their thoughts on what impact the massive £1 million bonus could have on attitudes towards breeding horses in need of a lengthy trip.

Final thought

Sir Mark Prescott summed it up perfectly at the Weatherbys Hamilton Stayers' Million launch on Monday when he said: "The best thing would be if people won the Guineas and the Derby, that they would want to let their horse run in the St Leger and let it stay, let it do what it wanted to do, instead of having to bring it back in trip for commercial reasons."

It's nearly six years since Camelot attempted to win the Triple Crown after victories in the 2,000 Guineas and Derby and in that time there has been a distinct shift towards producing speedy stock for commercial returns.

Encouragement to breed staying types is welcome and it is great that Weatherbys Hamilton has put their backing behind a new initiative. If it garners the support it deserves from grass roots to the top level, it can be utilised as a stepping stone for high-class performers to tread longer distances - something many people will no doubt love to see.
