A cross the card double makes it 5 winners from 9 runners
Yesterday was a mixed day but arguably our most successful on the racecourse with Savile's Delight and What's for Tea winning at Southwell and Lingfield respectively.
What's For Tea landed the seller for Tom Dascombe (Image link from Racingpost.co.uk)
After last week's 'adventures' to and from Doncaster and Wolverhampton two winners is fantastic!
Bruce Jackson wrote in his report from Lingfield for the Racing Post "Tom Dascombe is a new kid on the block in comparison but has the same
winning habit, improving his already impressive stats in 2008 with an
across-the-card double, initiated with the selling win of What's For Tea, whom he promptly lost at the auction.
After the success of Savile's Delight at Southwell, Dascombe, who
had his multiple winner Sawwaah claimed last week, restored stable numbers in claiming Desert Dreamer after he finished second to Ninth House in the 7f claimer."
What's for Tea was bought for 6,200gns which was 200gns more than we claimed her for out of a seller in August. Since August she has won twice and been placed seven times, she is a model of consistency. However, Tom is looking for a few more quality horses so even though she may well win one or two small races he felt it was important to look for another star, so let her go.
The horse box wasn't empty on the way home as Tom claimed the Gerard Butler trained Desert Dreamer who came second in the Claimer on the Lingfield card. The horse is rated quite highly in the mid 70's but has previously been rated in the 90's, the form is solid and the time of the race very quick.
Savile's Delight ran a great race at Southwell and seems to enjoy the surface at the track. It can be argued that he hasn't beaten anything of much quality in his two wins at that venue but he's done it well on both occasions. Let's hope his passion for racing has been rekindled.
Tom has got very few horses to run at present. There are very few fit and able horses in the yard for the AW season but what he has got will run whenever conditions suit. This time of year is mainly about bringing along the 2-year-olds. The mild weather has its good and bad points but the wind can be a real pain as it gets under their tails and makes them all a handful. The yard has definitely seen a few hairy moments with 'fresh and wild' 2-year-olds bucking, rearing and cause merry hell. Let's just hope one or two of them turn out to be superstars!
