Brilliant Colt
The recent Gimcrack Stakes winner. Mill Reef, is already being hailed as a likely winner of the 1971 Two Thousand Guineas, even allowing for the fact that a Gimcrack Stakes victor has
not won any classic in the last Last week Mill Reef, against 16 other winners, completely demolished his field and won by io lengths on a soft track, which was supposed to have been right against him. How far he will stay is anybody’s guess but Mr P. Mellon’s American-bred colt is certainly brilliant and he has some claims to stamina which may enable him to run a mile. Be is by Never Bend out of Milan Mill, a half-sister to the Cheveiey Park Stakes winner, Berkley Springs, which finished second in the 1000 Guineas and later filled a similar placing in the Oaks.
