Britain's first seven-furlong Group 1 proved a humdinger on Saturday as Never So Brave (No Nay Never) found the line first in a thrilling four-way go for the Sky Bet City Of York Stakes. Like Saturday's Hungerford winner More Thunder a former member of the Sir Michael Stoute equine academy, Saeed Suhail's Summer Mile winner relished the furious pace to ultimately outstay specialists at this trip under Oisin Murphy. At the line, the Andrew Balding-trained 7-2 second favourite had half a length to spare over Lake Forest for a one-two for No Nay Never, with Maranoa Charlie (Wootton Bassett) and the even-money favourite Rosallion (Blue Point) also in the blanket two head margins away in third and fourth respectively.

What makes you think I can afford a lazy boy @Chief Stipe? -
i'm unsure what your actually trying to say. it appears you may be saying,people should be careful expressing opinions they honestly have,as if those opinions have similarities to opinions of someone else,then that creates a link for everything both people have said on a topic and to a degree what both persons have said about other topics. and you seem to be saying,one should place more importance to being careful,when one is agreeing with someone, who at times, has whats cosidered controversial views. is that what your actually are saying? if it is,isn't that just a clever way of you attempting to undervalue the opinions of those you may not agree with. really,this is a topic where opinions i think should be taken at face value. -

Six-year-old gelding Hard To Cross (NZ) (Hard To Cross) was aided by the three-kilo claim of Rose Hammond as the Kiwi bred landed his first victory of the preparation when landing the Ascend Sales Trophies Handicap (1523m). Prepared by Patrick and Michelle Payne, the New Zealand bred son of All Too Hard was a well-supported second favourite and sat just behind a solid tempo set by Run Harry Run (Written Tycoon) and runner-up Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit) to power over the top late. Hard To Cross carried just 51kgs with the claim. “Patrick and Michelle did discuss at length running in the Benchmark 84,” stable representative Neil Grieve. “But even with Tom Prebble’s two-kilo claim he would have had to carried 58kgs and they reasoned that it was quite a competitive race, which it turned out to be. “Whereas with the race the thinking was they might catch a few of the others on the hop a bit as he was fit and ready whereas they were aimed at different races and fortunately for the large group of owners who turned up today he got the job done thanks to a great ride from Rose Hammond. “She was patient and was aware that you needed to be somewhere near the rail and I think carrying the light weight in the end made all the difference.” Connections have had to be patient with Hard To Cross, who spent 12 months sidelined after a positive swab to Formestane, a drug used to treat breast cancer, resulting in a stewards ban from racing. Bred by Cambridge Stud’s Sir Brendan and Lady Jo Lindsay, Hard To Cross is out of their two-race winning Commands mare Egyptian Cross and is the older half-brother to Gr.1 Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) runner-up Red Sea (NZ) (Pierata). Hard To Cross has now won seven of his 25 starts and $494,855 in prizemoney. View the full article -

Six-year-old gelding The Creator (NZ) (Wrote) led throughout to claim the Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Handicap (1600m) at The Valley on Saturday under a perfect Logan Bates ride. Trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr put their faith in the two-kilo claimer who elected to take up proceedings from the inside barrier and rated the son of Wrote to perfection kicking off the bend to score by just over a length from Pudding (NZ) (Tavistock). “He doesn’t want it firm but he doesn’t want it really heavy like it was last start and I thought it was a good play by the team to come up in grade and right down in the weights, and Logan rode him beautifully,” Kent Jnr said. “We said to have him comfortable. We didn’t say to lead. But I thought he made a good call just to hold it, he got a few mid-race breathers and the horse was always there for him, so full credit, he has won six races now and done a great job. “He has come back off a little wind correction, so that has clearly been a success, we have a great bunch of owners in the horse and I am rapt for all of them.” Bates, who was crowned leading country apprentice for season 2024/25 is a jockey with a bright future. “It was pretty simple. I just got the horse to bounce and he had a light weight,” Bates said. “We weren’t sure if we were going to lead but Mick just alluded to me that he has a bit of a wind issue so I just wanted to keep it free flowing on him. “Once there was no pressure early, I just let him come up underneath me and he travelled good. I let him build from the 700 with the lightweight and he kicked off the corner and put the race to bed. It was quite impressive in the end and it was good to get the win for the OTI team. “I reckon he suits The Valley he corners really well and he is that free rolling sort of horse and this track suits that. He does have a good turn of foot too, so hopefully he comes back here.” The son of Highview Stud stallion Wrote, The Creator is out of the Guillotine mare Go Teena (NZ) and was an impressive winner of his two starts in New Zealand for trainer Chad Ormsby, before his purchase by OTI Racing.
