- Moore wins Lingfield Betway Casino Handicap on He’s A Latchico Recipe
By Andrew Atkinson
Ryan Moore rode He’s A Latchico (15-8) tipped by fromthehorsesmouth.info to win the Betway Casino Handicap over 1m 2f at LINGFIELD PARK gaining a 1 3/4 win over Militry Decoration.
Glide Down (7-1) tipped each-way finished third in the Betway Novices Stakes over 1m 4f won by 6-4 favourite Obsidian Knight under Jim Crowley.
At MUSSELBURGH Bardenstown Lad (8-15) tipped by fromthehorsesmouth.info landed the bet365 Scottish Stayers Novices Hurdle over 2m 7f.
Seven-year-old Bardenstown Lad under B. Hayes kept on well to beat Gordon Elliott trained Where It All Began by 11 lengths.
Cool Mix (5-2) tipped, finished second in the bet365 Veterans Chase, beaten by Charlie Longsdan trained Glen Forsa (10-3).
Paul Nicholls trained Soldier Of Love (5-4f) tipped, ran second behind Myth Buster in the bet365 Scottish Open Hunters Chase, over 3m 2f.
Gary Moore trained Goshen won the Listed Virgin Bet Contenders Hurdle over 1m 7f at SANDOWN, under Jamie Moore, gaining a 15 lengths win ahead of Guard Your Dreams.
“He had a hard race and I don’t think we would want to back him up too quickly.
“Next season he has the option of novice chasing at Kempton, Ascot and Sandown. When things click for the horse he’s good. But things don’t always click,” said jockey Moore.
“You might say Goshen could have been a contender for the Champion Hurdle – if his sometimes erratic steering enabled him to be as good racing left-handed as he is going the opposite direction. “He very possibly would have won at Lingfield last month, but for hanging, yet Sandown has always been a happy hunting ground.
“The same has not been true of Cheltenham, and for that reason another tilt at the Champion Hurdle seems unlikely.
“That will have shut a lot of people up – it winds me up when people say, will the real Goshen turn up?
“The real Goshen turns up every day – if he doesn’t have things in his favour he doesn’t perform.
“Cheltenham will be the owner’s decision, not mine, but if it’s up to me he won’t go there,” said trainer Moore.
Venetia Williams trained Green Book landed the 17 runners Grade 3 £100,000 Virgin Bet Heroes Hurdle over 2m 7f, under Charlie Deutsch: “I hoped we were in business,” said Williams.
