- Jamesie proves sprint king
Jamesie proves sprint king
Jamesie swooped late between horses under Colm O'Donoghue to come out best in an exciting finish to the five furlong handicap for three-year-old's.
Easy to back on track at 9/2, the David Marnane-trained gelding collared the always prominent Yellow Dandy (16/1) inside the final furlong to score by a neck. Big Bad Lily (12/1) held every chance finishing a further length adrift in third, while the winner's stablemate Foot Perfect didn't enjoy the clearest of passages close-up in fourth.
Marnane said, “He's a nice horse and I like him a lot. He's been second to some good horses, and we're hoping to go to Newmarket next month for a good handicap. A step up in trip will help as he's not really a five furlong horse. It was a good performance carrying that weight.”
