Marquand Stars Again On Nathaniel’s Sumo Sam In The Lillie Langtry

[Wandering Eyes]

Saturday was all about “Mr Goodwood” as Tom Marquand led his weighing room comrades a merry dance on the shock winner Sumo Sam (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in the G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry S. As he had on Tuesday's brilliant G1 Goodwood Cup hero Quickthorn (GB) by the same sire, the meeting's leading rider made all on Ben and Sir Martyn Arbib's homebred 3-year-old on ground turned heavy by ever-worsening conditions. Far from caving in with two furlongs remaining, the Paul and Oliver Cole-trained 25-1 shot whose previous best was a third in Newmarket's Listed Pretty Polly S. continued to pile it on to the end of the mile-and-three-quarter feature to win by 8 1/2 lengths from River Of Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).
