Boiling Point edged out Indalo by the finest of margins to win the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.<\/b><\/p>\n
Jockey Clifford Lee, trainer Karl Burke and owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid joined forces to clinch a second consecutive victory in the heritage handicap after winning it last year with Liberty Lane. <\/p>\n
Lee moved 14-1 chance Boiling Point to the head of the field and then somehow managed to hold off a late charge from Indalo (20-1) to take the photo finish by a nose.<\/p>\n
Fort George came in third of the 23-strong field, at 11-2, while Erzindjan (28-1) was fourth. <\/p>\n
Both Boiling Point and Liberty Lane before him won the gallop over one mile and one furlong at top weight. <\/p>\n
“It was a great performance,” winning trainer Burke told ITV Sport. <\/p>\n
“Cliff is so good from the front. You never worry about him going forward on a horse. He always gets his fractions right, but then you need the horse underneath you and it was a great performance. <\/p>\n
“I think he was on fresh air the last 100 yards and I actually thought he got chinned on the line, but fantastic.”<\/p>\n
Earlier, in the two Group One races at Newmarket, 11-8 favourite Wise Approach stumbled out of the gates in the Middle Park Stakes but recovered to beat Brussels (9-1) into second place, while 2-1 favourite True Love won the Cheveley Park Stakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boiling Point edged out Indalo by the finest of margins to win the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.
