Newbury - Winner and 4th

18 August 2018

We were happy to accept a dead heat with Sheila's Showcase's yesterday, it's still a win after all. He ran a nice race making the running and will hopefully improve again.
The race wasn't run to suit Keeper's Choice yesterday, she would have preferred more pace.
