Scandinavia (4c Justify - Fabulous, by Galileo) claimed a second successive Group 1 Goodwood Cup with a dominant display at Goodwood on Tuesday. The Ballydoyle-trained son of Justify was adding a fourth Group 1 success to his name, having supplemented last year’s Goodwood Cup and St Leger victories with a win in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month. Ridden by Ryan Moore, Scandinavia was positioned prominently and was asked for his effort before taking up the lead at the two-furlong marker. Despite the wanderings of the loose Amiloc, Scandinavia stayed true to his line to score by a widening eight and a half lengths. Aidan O’Brien said: “I’m delighted, I’m thankful to everyone around him. He’s a great horse, he’s a real top stayer. “He’s a high cruising speed, he relaxes and finds his momentum. Ryan said he finds the minute he starts asking him, he starts coming alive underneath him. “We were a bit worried coming to Ascot because we’ve never been two and a half [miles] and you’re never sure until you do it. We felt he’s really gone the right way since Ascot. It’s a great race to win, very prestigious. “It’s great that Trawlerman came and all the horses were there, it’s what we all want to see – win, lose or draw. We thought that Trawlerman was going to make it, we were hoping that he would so Ryan could just follow him as he did in Ascot. “It was a bit eventful, but it was still a great race at a great track. It was a spectacle to watch and going two miles, you get a great chance to look at it and take it in.” Of Scandinavia’s future, O’Brien added: “He’s very sound, he loves what he’s doing and the lads love having him. When you get a horse like this who can race year in, year out, that’s what makes it special. “They’re very hard to find, impossible really. I would imagine he’ll keep racing as long as he stays safe and sound. “He could [emulate Yeats], he’s a natural cruiser. He’s easy to train, he’s a great mind and as he’s by Justify, he has that great rhythm.” Scandinavia was bred by Orpendale, Chelston and Wynatt.
