The lightly-raced filly was having her first run over six furlongs since August 2023, yet despite that the race looked over from some way out. Under The Twilight did close to within a neck, but the 85-40 favourite was value for much more.<\/p>\n
Bin Suroor said: \u201cShe shows plenty of speed. I was going to run her at Doncaster in the seven-furlong Group Three, but when I talked to Oisin he said to keep her at six furlongs.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe shows that speed in the mornings when she works. Now we\u2019ll look for a nice race for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe hasn\u2019t run over six since she was two. She has the class for Group races.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019ll have to look for a nice race over six furlongs. She had a setback when she was in Dubai.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murphy was completing a double having earlier won on Andrew Balding\u2019s Stellar Sunrise.<\/p>\n
Westridge continued his progression with a wide-margin win in the Coral Chesterfield Cup Handicap.<\/p>\n
Trained by John and Thady Gosden and ridden by Billy Loughnane, the four-year-old has been faring well in handicaps recently and started a 6-1 chance in a field of 18.<\/p>\n
From stall eight he hit his stride quickly and after a prominent passage through the race he took up the lead in the final furlong, then pulling clear of the chasing pack to score by an eventual three and a quarter lengths.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe enjoyed the space around him today and Billy gave him a lovely ride. It is not easy in a big handicap field but he broke well and made use of him,\u201d said John Gosden.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is owned by Glen Manchester, my wife and Nicholas Wrigley, so it\u2019s a proper partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did have him in the July sales but wisely we chose to take him out three days before the sale, thank God we did that.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a grand horse and he\u2019s done well, the handicapper will get him now but to win the Chesterfield Cup is a dream come true because Glen is very much Goodwood orientated.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll have to be York now though I\u2019m not sure which race, Mr Wrigley will demand it. Rachel is just the silent partner, she does whatever they want!\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth Carr\u2019s Brazen Bolt made the long journey from Yorkshire to Sussex worthwhile with success in the Coral Golden Rewards Shaker Handicap, where he prevailed by a nose at 28-1 under Warren Fentiman.<\/p>\n
Peter Furr, Doncaster-based winning owner-breeder, said: \u201cHe has been an unbelievable horse. We have bred a few horses but nothing like him. He went to Bahrain and won last year and when he came back he was not very well.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had ulcers, a bad tummy, stress, everything. Me and my daughter got him back and had him on a nebuliser. We took him to Ruth this season and she has been fantastic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t expect to win at York last time and we came here today thinking it would be really firm ground and when it wasn\u2019t we didn\u2019t expect this again. It doesn\u2019t happen to people like us.\u201d<\/p>\n
