Pivotal’s Addeybb Wins the Sandown Mile

[Wandering Eyes]

After making a mockery of the prestigious Lincoln H. at Doncaster Mar. 24, Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Addeybb (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) proved he was too good for handicaps with an emphatic success in Friday’s G2 bet365 Mile at Sandown. Kept apart from the main bunch early by James Doyle, the 6-4 favourite had an ideal lead and when shaken up in the straight earned the advantage approaching the furlong pole en route to a 2 3/4-length success from Stormy Antarctic (GB) (Stormy Atlantic).
