Here is the key to finding the winner of the world's best five-furlong sprint

Friday: 3.35 York
Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes (Group 1) | 5f | 2yo+ | ITV/RTV

It’s just under four years since the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes was formally named as the best five-furlong sprint in the world by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) and the race is now even stronger.

In the three years since Alpha Delphini’s victory in 2018, Battaash has won it twice and last year Winter Power was successful. All three recorded higher Racing Post Ratings than Alpha Delphini’s figure (117), and Battaash reached 129. The race really is the ultimate test of speed.
