Rwenearlytheredad Gets There First
Beverley Racecourse was the host for the latest round of the Go Racing In Yorkshire Future Stars Apprentice Series, supported by White Rose Saddlery. The ground was described as good to firm on what was a pleasantly cool day.
Eight runners went to post for the five furlong sprint and after an even break, Mrs Trump ridden by Elle-May Croot, who was racing keenly, moved to the head of affairs, closely followed by Insolente and Jonny Peate on the inside rail, who gradually eased his way into the lead. Bella Kopella and Alex Jary were positioned on the outside in third with Rwenearlytheredad and Zak Wheatley in fourth, tracking Insolente.
At the half way point Insolente had eased a couple of lengths clear and looked like he was going to be the one the one to beat. Rwenearlytheredad drew upsides Mrs Trump and Bella Kopella and it looked like they were competing for minor honours but half a furlong from home Rwenearlytheredad surged ahead to win by one and a half lengths and Mrs Trump finishing a head in front of Bella Kopella.
This was Zakes first opportunity to score points in the series and the win took him straight into equal fourth place. Elle-May’s valuable nine points for second place have taken her into joint first with Connor Planas. Now at the halfway point, the competition is hotting up!
Round six takes place at Redcar Racecourse on Sunday 23rd July, which is part of the Go Racing In Yorkshire Summer Festival week.
