Re: Horse Racing
Hot prospect delivers for Cecil.

Quote:
Sir Henry Cecil suddenly found himself with the new favourite for the Qipco 1000 Guineas as Hot Snap appeared from nowhere in more ways than one in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket.
This was a serious statement of intent for the legendary trainer and owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, who must cope without Frankel for the first time in three years, as the unbeaten chestnut was Cecil's first runner of the new campaign.
Hot Snap, who went off at 10-1 for this Group Three trial, made staggering progress from the rear of the field to charge well clear of the hot favourite Sky Lantern, and although the Guineas arrives quickly enough on May 5, it was not discounted by connections.
