Gosden said: "The Weatherbys Hamilton Stayers' Million is a fantastic concept and has been a massive success over the last two years. It has obviously been the source of great interest to all my staff and to be able to participate in a bonus of this size is very significant and hugely appreciated by them."

Weatherbys Hamilton chief executive Charles Hamilton said: "We have enjoyed every moment of the Stayers' Million over the last two years but one of the highlights has been being able to present such a significant cheque to the stable staff.

"Behind every great horse there is a great team and to see Stradivarius looking in such magnificent condition towards the end of a long season is a massive credit to them all." – Racingpost.com
