Buffering hasn’t always been taken seriously, always been there, a good horse but still something to prove.

That has been erased; he is now the mega star since winning three Group 1s in succession.

He was at his best in the Winterbottom Stakes, leading all the way but not with a great margin, conserving a bit for the run in, and boy did he need it?

Moment Of Change was coming quickly, the tank was running dry for Buffering, but he saw it out as game as they come.

The win completed a great year for Mossman and Vinery.
