Haydock Sprint Cup
Mozart was off the course for more than two months, bypassing the usual sprinters' targets such as the Haydock Sprint Cup, before being sent to the United States for the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Belmont Park for which he was reportedly well-fancied. Racing on dirt for the first time, Mozart started slowly and was never in contention, finishing eleventh of the fourteen runners behind Squirtle Squirt.
