OUR NEXT MEETING

SUNDAY 23RD JULY

Another exciting day of action at Newton

Abbot began with the Seamus Mullins trained Sharp Note taking first after a very strong performance. She raced prominently throughout, disputing the leader for much of the contest before being shaken up to take the lead just before the second to last fence. She eventually rode out an impressive winner, six lengths ahead of Heneryetta Bay in second with Tommydan the only other to complete.

The second saw D J Jeffreys’ Ayr Of Elegance keep on well to secure the win. She led for much of the contest and her victory was rarely in doubt with Kielan Woods keeping her in a strong position. Komedy Kicks putting in a challenge late on but her jumping let her down and she could only take second.

Myristica took the third in fine style, finishing an unbelievable seventeen lengths clear of the second in what was correctly predicted to be a very one-sided contest. Myristica more than justifying her market support, going off at a tiny 2/11. Ryder’s Rock didn’t run badly in second, but just could not match the leader

Noahthirtytwored justified his favourite status in the fourth, getting off the mark for the season to win by four quarter wasn’t plain sailing Adam West’s gelding as he started slow and quickly found himself detached from of the field. Sean produced a top ride to kick him into gear and he finally managed to get into position to challenge from the ninth. From then on, he made it look easy, breezing to the front and winning quite comfortably ahead of Light N Strike in second.

The fifth saw another short-priced favourite get the win. This time it was the Chris Down trained Opening Bid, going off at 8/11 he travelled strongly throughout and went clear from two out to win easily This made it two wins on the bounce for the eight-year-old after his win at Worcester a month prior and he seems to have a fine partnership with jockey Bryan Carver. Princess Midnight jumped well but found herself no match for the winner and had to make do with second while Forget You Not rounded out the podium positions. The Seamus Mullins trained five-yearold Vin Rouge made his first trip to Newton Abbot a successful won as he stormed to victory in the day’s penultimate contest. Sam TwistonDavies rode a classy race, keeping the gelding in the rear and biding his time. He struck just after the third last, taking the lead from two out and was soon clear, winning lengths. Kolisi runner-up for second time in row while the favourite Sassified couldn’t justify his support in the market and will have to continue that near two year streak without a win. Bringing the day to a close was the classy Corporal Jackjones, who was a ready winner of the bumper. The four-year-old switched to the Syd Hosie yard just six days before this meeting and already looks a bit of a course specialist as he won here at the meeting before this as well. Beau Morgan kept his ride prominent, and he soon went clear to win. His usual jockey before the yard switch, Sam Twiston-Davies was aboard the Sophie Leech trained Maillot Vert this time and he could only manage second.
