Neil's Legacy ridden by Greg Fairley wins the Weatherbys Printing Handicap Stakes
SUN SHINES ON LUCKY LINDA
LINDA Perratt was
celebrating at sun drenched Ayr racecourse on Monday when her filly
Neil's Legacy landed a second win from her last three starts
under apprentice Greg Fairley.
The
five year-old, owned by Prestwick couple Terry and Linda Pardoe,
followed up a success at her local track earlier in the month and
was a convincing three length winner from Ballyhurry at odds of 5/1
in the Weatherbys Printing Handicap.
The
feature race of the day, the Weatherbys Bank Fillies Handicap went
the way of Dorn Dancer (7/2 fav) for trainer David Barker and
jockey Pat Cosgrave. The five year old filly held on gamely by a
head from Linda Green (9/2).
Footballer turned racehorse trainer Mick Channon sent five horses
on the near 800 mile round trip from his West Isley stables and he
was rewarded with a win for Silca Key (5/1) in the Betfair Today
Handicap. This was an exciting affair with the winner holding on by
a neck from Jibajaba (9/2 jt fav).
There
was an even closer finish in the Karen Kaye 50 Today Handicap with
the Jim Goldie trained Compton Classic (10/1) a short head winner
in the hands of Gary Bartley from the 9/2 favourite Divine Spirit.
The
world famous Sheikh Mohammed colours were carried to victory in the
opening race, the William & Mandy Murdoch Median Auction Maiden
Stakes by Gothenburg for trainer Mark Johnston. The highly
experienced jockey Joe Fanning steered the 10/11 favourite to a
comfortable two length win over Nawaaff (3/1).
The
other winners on the card were Rainbow Fox (12/1) for
trainer-jockey combination Richard Fahey and Paul Hanagan in the
Rectangle Group Handicap and the Michael Dods trained Charles
Parnell (7/1) under Phillip Makin in the Kidzplay Handicap.
