Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 2 hours ago Journalists Posted 2 hours ago Reappearing for the first time since debuting in a hot Newmarket July Festival maiden, Amo Racing and Valmont's Billecart (Night Of Thunder) made light work of his Thursday assignment at Newcastle to keep Classic dreams alive. Far too strong for his three peers in the mile novice on the Tapeta, the 380,000gns Tattersalls Book 2 purchase will be campaigned with the 2,000 Guineas and Irish equivalent in mind according to Karl Burke. “He had a little injury last year, but sometimes they can be a blessing and he's one of the ones I've been looking forward to seeing this season,” the trainer said. “He could come back here for the [Listed] Burradon, or we could look at a [Guineas] trial on turf.” Fourth behind the bright prospects Distant Storm (Night Of Thunder) and Constitution River (Wootton Bassett) in that key maiden which has spurned several winners, the 1-6 shot was cajoled to the front by Rowan Scott at halfway and saw off Shadwell's newcomer Wuood (Night Of Thunder) by five lengths. Some big entries! Billecart bumped into some classy animals on debut and gets off the mark at the second time of asking with an easy success at @NewcastleRaces…@karl_burke | @rowan_49 pic.twitter.com/NcdbmwiWfJ — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) March 5, 2026 The post ‘He’s One I’ve Been Looking Forward To’: Burke Keen On Guineas Entry Billecart appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
