Re: Horse Racing
Vintage Hughes on Toormore
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Toormore justified Richard Hannon's decision to bypass Royal Ascot with a cheeky victory in the Veuve Cliquot Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
Owned by the Middleham Park Racing syndicate, the temptation would have been for a day out for all their members but Hannon did not think the horse would be mature enough.
Given an extra few weeks to strengthen up, Toormore was sent off the 5-4 favourite but looked up against it when Godolphin's Outstrip shot clear approaching the two-furlong marker.
However, Richard Hughes did not panic and just like in the Sussex Stakes half an hour earlier, Hughes and Hannon got the better of Godolphin, winning eased down by a neck.
