VARIAN JUST CARRIES ON WINNING

The extraordinary run of form by Roger Varian-trained horses continued as Justineo took the Crown Hotel Scarbrough Stakes. The four-year-old was his Newmarket yard's seventh winner from 10 runners this month; the other three finished second. "They are now flying like you wouldn't believe," said Varian, whose team was laid low by a virus during July and August. "When they got ill, it was a sharp reminder that when they're not healthy it doesn't matter how many you've got, or how good or well-bred they are. "But you have to meet a situation head-on and recognise it. If there was a positive it was that they were all affected at once and recovered at the same time, it wasn't a bug that lingered in the yard for months. "We had a frustrating five or six weeks. We had to sit out York but they're fine now and we'll hope for a good autumn." Justineo, ridden by William Buick, came home a length and a half clear of Masamah in the Listed contest to make it two wins and a Group Two third (to Moviesta in the King George Stakes at Goodwood) in three runs since returning to five furlongs. "It took the trainer too long to work out his trip," added Varian of the Oasis Dream colt. "He's got better in each of his last three runs. I think he is going the right way now; he is only four and some of these sprinters can get quicker and better as they get stronger and I hope he will be one of them." Justineo made all the running for an emphatic victory. "It's hard to judge how far you are in front when are in front," said Buick, "but he won well." The Group One Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp next month is now on Justineo's agenda. "He's very fast and versatile about ground," said Varian, "so we'll certainly have a look at that race." Third race: 3.00pm The Crown Hotel Bawtry Scarbrough Stakes Place Quotes HARRIS DELIGHTED WITH JUDGE 'N JURY Trainer Ron Harris was delighted with the run of 14/1 shot Judge 'n Jury after his gelding finished third behind Justineo in this afternoon's Crown Hotel Bawtry Scarbrough Stakes at Doncaster. The nine-year-old had a plum draw against the stands' side rail but only had two horses for company as he blazed a trail down the near side with the majority of the field opting to run down the centre of the course. Although the son of Pivotal had no answer to the winner's turn of foot in the final stages of the race, he battled on bravely and was only just denied second place by the late thrust of Masamah. "He's run an absolute cracker and we couldn't be happier for him," said Harris. "This sort of ground is essential to him so we'll be hoping the rain continues as there are some nice handicaps coming up for him over the next month or so. "We had a great time of it last year with the weather and his two York handicaps came when there was plenty of juice in the ground. "It can continue to rain all it wants - as long as it stops as soon as the season ends as we had far too much of the stuff last year!" THIRD RACE, 3.00pm: THE CROWN HOTEL BAWTRY SCARBROUGH STAKES Quotes DUBAI FOR BORDERLESCOTT? Eleven-year-old Borderlescott ran a creditable fifth on good to soft ground in the Listed Crown Hotel Bawtry Scarbrough Stakes today at Doncaster, having recorded a third on good to firm in a Listed event a Beverley twelve days ago. Trainer Robin Bastiman said of his stable star, who had retired at the end of the 2012 season only to come back into training this year: "It was the ground I think - he couldn't get out of it early on but he was running on at the finish. He's just ground dependent now. "There aren't many races left now, there is Newbury next week but the going will probably be the same so he won't go, there is a race a Beverley in a fortnights time and we might go there with him but we might take him to Dubai or somewhere - it is a thought. He has still got it and he looks well - he thrives on it - it is just a shame the rain came." THIRD RACE RESULT 3.00pm Crown Hotel Bawtry Scarbrough Stakes (Listed) £40,000 total prize fund.
