A Win For Team Endeavour


Wetherby Racecourse’s final meeting of the season started with round four of the Go Racing In Yorkshire Future Stars Apprentice Series, supported by White Rose Saddlery.

Eight were due to go to post for this renewal, however Funky Town Pinkie was withdrawn after getting loose before the start so a field of seven were loaded into the stalls for the two mile race.

The blinkered Toutatis was slow out of the gate for Molly Gunn but had plenty of time to close the gap.

Seven For A Pound under Christian Howarth made the early running, with Freewheelin ridden by William Pyle, Burnage Boy and Aiden Brookes and Team Endeavour with Sean Dylan Bowen racing as a line of three tucked in behind.  We’ll Go Again and Tarbat Ness raced just ahead of Toutatis at the rear of the field.

As they came past the post for the first time there was little change in the order, Seven For A Pound enjoying himself out in front and the field staying in formation all the way around the back straight.

Burnage Boy moved forward to join Seven For A Pound as runners rounded the final bend and went on to take the lead with the field spreading out across the course.  Toutatis made a run on the outside under a strong drive from Molly Gunn, along with Team Endeavour, the two battling out the finish from the half furlong pole.

It really was on the nod as they passed the post with Team Endeavour and Sean Dylan Bowen getting up by a nose from Toutatis.  This was a first win in the series for Sean Dylan Bowen and the 18 points took him straight into fourth place.

The next race takes place at Beverley Racecourse on Tuesday 27th June.
