York Sunday 2.30 7f. Restricted Sire/Dam 2-y-o Novice.
I was interested in the favourite in this race, the very well bred Athers who had run third on debut at Doncaster. Sent off 10/11 he looked to be travelling nicely on the outside of the field up the centre of the course but then it all went wrong, seemed to falter on what looked to be loose ground and dropped out to finish a long way last.
Having another look at the race today I was taken by the run of Tim Easterby's KENTUCKY KITTEN. Seemingly unfancied at 33/1 he missed the break and trailed the field until making headway two out and running on well to the line, finishing 4th, beaten less than three lengths. He is by first season sire Bobby's Kitten out of a Galileo mare, Galistic, who has already produced a black-type 7f. winner.
Looks certain to win a race, possibly over a bit further. Just have to make sure you are on it when it does.
