Mojito out of sight against open-allowance field

Though finishing 10th of 15 runners in December’s Mouttet Mile, local-bred MOJITO ran an eye-catching race before 2024 winner FUNCAANDUN relegated him to seventh a furlong out, after which only three other horses passed the Jamaica Cup winner. Returning a class lower in Saturday’s Saint Cecelia Cup at six and a half furlongs, any thoughts of ring rust or cobwebs were swept out the window by the six-year-old grey, who galloped 1:26.3 for seven furlongs last Sunday morning.
