Three wins
Floribunda has won at each of his three starts all over five furlongs, and has yet to get the six furlongs of tomorrow's race. But the superiority he showed at Royal Ascot in June, suggests that the extra distance should not dim his brilliance.
Floribunda won at Ascat by eight lengths after running 4 Trifle greenly..
