A substantial prize purse of $18.8 million dollars was offered at Turfway Park. Who won it? Let's discover the name of the triumphant winner of this esteemed competition.
Balhambar 4.00 Ludlow
A decent flat-racer who has developed over hurdles, he held on for third in the Huntingdon maiden (2m, soft) on a stable debut last month and could be better in handicaps. A tongue-tie was applied, and he is a strong candidate.
Bustaam 4.15 Pontefract
Bright lineage began with Andre Fabre; it failed in five starts last year but won decisively at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) ten days ago. Raise 10lb for 3l victory, but still on a solid mark.
Baileys Warrior 7.30 Wolverhampton
Baileys Warrior, a winner of a four-runner race at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in February, has proven its mettle by challenging The Craftymaster twice over C&D in the winter. This time, the field lacks horses of his calibre, setting the stage for a potentially exciting race.
Troy Truth 8.30 Wolverhampton
He was mostly reliable last year and returned after a 201-day hiatus with a clean C&D victory under Liam Wright ten days ago; the 3lb bump should be manageable.
