Free Bets At Betdaq Wild Flower Stakes 1m 4f Polytrack
Trainer William Knight
enjoyed success with Aussie Reigns and fourth place with Modernstone, his two
runners, in the £40,000 Listed £500 Free Bets At Betdaq Wild Flower Stakes
(6.00pm) over a mile and a half on Polytrack at Kempton Park on Wednesday,
November 27.
Aussie Reigns, who has
improved more than 20lb this year, was held up sixth of the seven runners by
Andrea Atzeni.
The 8/1 chance moved up
entering the straight and came with a strong run to lead a furlong out.
Aussie Reigns gained a
decisive advantage and finished a length ahead of Dick Doughtywylie at the
line, with three quarters of a length to the third Banoffee and a half-length
to Modernstone. His time was 2m 32.79s for 12 furlongs on Polytrack. The 7/4
market leader Fattsota came home last.
The three-year-old son of
Aussie Rules finished third the previous time to the highly-regarded Pethers
Moon in the Listed Winners Are Welcome At Betdaq Floodlit Stakes over the same
course and distance on November 6.
William Knight commented:
"I was really pleased with Aussie Reigns. He seems to have improved as he
has stepped up in trip.
"It was a good
performance tonight even though it was probably not the strongest of Listed
races.
"He has won it quite
convincingly. He needs to come through horses as that keeps him interested and
Andrea (Atzeni) rides him very well.
"Aussie Reigns has
good form on turf as well as the All-Weather. He will hopefully be invited to
go to Dubai now because I think he will be suited to the racing out there.
"I would like to get
him qualified for the All-Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield Park on
Good Friday so it is a shame this race was not a Win & You're In contest.
"He would need to
have one more run on the All-Weather and we will have to see if we can fit that
in."
Horses qualify for the six
championship contests on All-Weather Championships Finals Day (Good Friday,
April 18, 2014) by running in a minimum of three races at Britain's All-Weather
tracks - three owned by ARC, Lingfield Park, Southwell and Wolverhampton, and
The Jockey Club's Kempton Park - between October 26 and April 12 or else by
succeeding in one of the 16 Win & You're In races.

just inside the final furlong.
