In 2007 John Best’s Kingsgate Native proved himself to be the quickest of them all when taking the Nunthorpe Stakes, a first success in a career that would see him rise to the top of the sprint division, change hands for over £1million and then end his career teaching the young students of the sport at the British Racing School.
The son of Mujadil made an instant impact on his debut performance when finishing second by just a head in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot.
His next visit to a racecourse returned the same result, this time in the Group Three Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood where he was the runner-up by a neck.
A steep step up in grade followed as the bay then took on the Nunthorpe, this time triumphing by a length and a half to shed his maiden tag in a Group One contest.
“I think he’s one of the few maidens that have won a Group One,” Best told Sportinglife.com subsequently.
“It was a great day and he gave us a few others as well."
