Godolphin’s Goffs UK Breeze-Up Topper Rapid Force Off The Mark On Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

Godolphin's Rapid Force (Mehmas) had little to beat on his belated debut at Kempton on Wednesday, but carried out the task proficiently nevertheless to begin justifying his £1million purchase price.

Having been held back since topping the Goffs UK Breeze-Up in April, the son of the Sapphire Stakes third Rapid Reaction (Shamardal) from the family of Wootton Bassett sat last of the trio that contested the six-furlong novice that opened the card.

Wound up by William Buick to take over a furlong out, the Charlie Appleby-trained 2-5 favourite stayed on strongly to account for the experienced Mr Writer (Dark Angel) by two lengths. “He's a strong boy and he's going to get better next year as well,” his rider said. “It couldn't have been better for his first run and when he got to the front he had a little look which is never a bad sign.”

One MILLION quid's worth of horse
