A BIG weekend for the reconstructed flat season with the first two classics of the new campaign at Newmarket and a wealth of brilliant contests to look forward to as well.

Let’s start with the colts with the 2,000 Guineas this afternoon at 3.35 and all eyes will be on Pinatubo as he attempts to maintain his 100 per cent record after a sparkling two-year-old season.

All the talk has been of the opinion that he won those six races because he was more mature than his rivals and able to use to the maximum his talents in his first year of training.
