Regal Flush (2/1f) was beaten but 12/1 shot Samuel just wouldn't go away and collared the selection in the shadow of the post to win by one and three quarter lengths.<BR/>Caldra (15/2) was most disappointing, running no sort of race whatsoever and looking decidedly one-paced in the home straight, eventually finishing seventh of the nine runners. This horse will carry no more of my money. The one to take out of the race was Bankable, the 7/4 favourite. Several judges were ready to oppose him, and he got pretty warm before the off, but he showed his field a clean pair of heels from two out. In the post-race interview the trainer's wife, Sarah Cumani, told us that at home he was nicknamed 'Flat racing's Denman' on account of his size. Coral and Ladbrokes go just 2/1 he'll win the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot - no value there then!<BR/>The J.W.Lees Stakes looked a pretty rough affair with several of them encountering difficulty in running. Odds-on shot Major Cadeaux (10/11) won this well, especially as his saddle started to slip after two furlongs. Appalachian Trail (5/1) was stone last turning for home but made decent progress inside the final furlong without ever threatening to win; he was beaten half a length and a head into third.GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
