Listed Winner

Clifton Dancer surprised us all be leading from pillar to post in a listed race for 3yo fillies over 7 furlongs at Warwick on Thursday 26 July. She was badly drawn but broke really well under a masterful ride from Richard Kingscote and managed to grab the rail very early on. She came under pressure when threatened at the top of the straight but found plenty under a drive in the closing stages to hold out for her first black-type success.

Cyril Pritchard her enthusiastic part-owner was absolutely delighted and with his fellow owner Geoff Neville threw a party for the stable staff at The Malt Shovel in Lambourn on Friday night.
