I have not enjoyed the best of luck of late but Saturday was quite a bonanza for the horses on our list to follow. We had 6 winners and any number of near things. Here goes for the roll of honour.
David Junior was given a great ride by Jamie Spencer to score a well thought out success in the Eclipse. The Lancashire Oaks went to Allegretto who stayed on well and clearly gets the 12 furlong trip and is a progressive filly.
We had the first 4 home in the Old Newton Cup with Consular gaining a well deserved reward for some consistent efforts. He was always handy which was probably key. Ouninpohja did well in second under top weight for what was his 4th successive 2nd place.
In the 4.35 at Haydock King Orchisios finally lived up to his reputation making most to just hold on from another of our listers Burning Incense.
Hinterland was a Pricewise horse having finished 4th in the Royal Hunt Cup and could be called the winner some way out in the big handicap at Sandown. Our other winner was Futun who looked well and truly boxed in but Nicky Mackay was admirably patient on him and when the gap appeared the colt quickened well.
Those were the 6 winners from the list to follow. Benbaun also deserves a mention for his 2nd in the Group 3 sprint at Sandown. Like Ouninpohja this was four 2nds in a row.
We only have one list runner on Sunday and that is at Brighton in the 4.15 where Prince Picasso should give us a run for our money.
See you tomorrow.
