Majors Cast has been knocking on the door in some of the best mile races in the world during the past year. On Saturday at Newbury, he will have a golden opportunity to notch Group 1 laurels for the first time in a subpar renewal of the Lockinge Stakes. Majors Cast was a short head second in the Group 2 Celebration Mile last August, then third in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp a week later. In the Breeders' Cup Mile he was fifth, beaten just two lengths for all the money. He prepped for the Lockinge's straight mile with a handy score in a seven-furlong listed event at Haydock on May 6, which should set him up perfectly for Saturday. His trainer, Jeremy Noseda, will give a leg up to Frankie Dettori.
