Xtension stars for Cox in Goodwood

Clive Cox swept past his total for the whole of 2008 before summer has even officially begun as promising two-year-old Xtension headed a double on the day at Goodwood.

Last year’s haul of 21 winners was slightly down on Cox’s return from the previous three seasons, but the Lambourn trainer could not be in better form and has re-established himself as one of the younger brigade on the cusp of breaking the old order.
