Round two of the Go Racing In Yorkshire Future Stars Apprentice Series, supported by White Rose Saddlery was the opening race of the season at Ripon Racecourse on Thursday, May 18.
Nine horses went to post for the one mile race on ground which, after the winter of relentless rain, was officially described as heavy.
Tobetso made the early running under Zak Wheatley and tracked across to the running rail from his wide draw. Hostelry looked keen and Mia Nicholls tucked her in behind. Poet’s Dream and Archie Young were in third, with the Brandon Wilkie ridden Hortzadar on the outside of Ey Up Its The Boss and Jack Enright as they rounded the bend into the home turn.
At the half-way stage Hostelry and Tobetso were upsides in the lead, but the field were tightly grouped. A gap opened up on the rails for Poet’s Dream to make a move, closely followed by the Sam Fielden ridden Do I Dream.
A furlong and half out, the first six had less than a length between them and Ey Up Its The Boss came with a strong run to challenge Hostelry, just getting his head in front, before Do I Dream, the favourite, surged up the rail to win the race by a neck from Ey Up Its the Boss and Hostelry a length and a quarter back in third.
18 points for this win took Sam Fielden straight into third place on the leader board, behind Sean Dylan Bowen and Joe Leavy who are joint at the top on 19 points each.
The next round takes place at Pontefract on Wednesday, May 1.
